WINTER 2011-2012
Holiday Gift Guide Winter is a wonderful time of year. There are many dates between December and March where gift giving is a common tradition. Sometimes finding the perfect gift for someone requires a little creativity and imagination. Don’t worry; we have taken care of that for you this year. We have listed some of our favorite gifts and compared them to celebrities that may remind you of your family or friends.
iRenew Bracelet. I’ve personally tried it and it works! Not only does it come in the adorable pink specifically designed to support breast cancer awareness, but you can get them in a variety of colors which makes this the perfect unisex gift for anyone. The iRenew bracelet is a favorite for celebrities who are always on the go and like to stay fit...I guess that would be just about ALL of Hollywood. This is a great gift for friends who are athletic and physically active. Retail Price $19.99 www.irenew.com (Celebrities Nick Lache and Maria Menounos are fans)

It is a great time to snag watches from Emporio Armani, one of my favorite brands for young men. It is classic and powerful, with subtle elegance for male teen with major natural swag or the successful man who like to show subtle elegance. Originally close to $500, you can get this for more than half off at www.ecarmani.com for only $219.99. It’s a perfect gift for any male who doesn’t have to try hard to look good, but has a natural swag like brothers Kwame Boateng, Kwesi Boakye and Kofi Siriboe and Diggy Simmons.
Jessica London earmuffs, for all of your girls who wants to be warm and cute at the same time, and not hurt an animal in the process. At just $14.95 at www.onestopplus.com you can buy a pair for all of you girls who remind you of Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton.
These great brown boots are a nice edition to a young lady’s closet. They retail for $63 on www.UniqueVintage.com (Robin will hook you up). They remind me of an item you would by for the coolest girl you know. It is a perfect gift for a girl that is laid back, super sweet and your kind-hearted girl-next-door type of female. A good buy for one whose elegance is simple like actress Angell Conwell and Joy Bryant.
