GIFT GUIDE: The ‘IT’ List

It’s here! As teased last week on IGS, today kicks off my GIFT LIST WEEK and I’m really excited to share each guide with you guys.

To be honest, I went into this holiday season feeling overwhelmed. By work projects, mom life, and just stuff – physically and mentally. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong but what I’m trying to say is that more so than ever, I didn’t feel like buying or asking for a ton of stuff this year. Maybe it 2020 and being stuck inside and ordering too much clutter, but whatever it was, I was feeling weighed down by things. So I decided that I wanted to do gift guides and the holiday season, in general, a little differently this year.

Instead of pushing a ton of guides over the next couple of months, I’m only doing 5 – all of which will be live this week. Everything is full of items that I’ve either vetted, someone close to me has, or have amazing reviews. Each list is thoughtfully curated and not overdone, which I hope you’ll appreciate!

I’m kicking the week off with THE ‘IT’ LIST, which is essentially a combination of my wishlist + my ride-or-die products from a few categories. From a ring I wear daily to the ‘it’ bag right now, you can’t go wrong with this list.

Check back each day from now until Friday to shop for everyone in your life.

Happy holidays!

xx Ashley

THE ‘IT’ LIST

Monogrammed Signet Ring (I wear this on my pinky ring almost daily; my full jewelry collection for more ideas) | Cross Necklace (amazing option for under $30) | Black Sunglasses | Hotel Lobby Candle | Diptyque Exfoliating Hand Wash and Hand Lotion (these are on my wishlist this year! So chic.) | Bubble Name Necklace | Travel Organizer Trio (these have the option to be monogrammed) | Lug Ankle Booties | Anine Bing Crewneck Sweatshirt | Drop Earrings (these look a lot more expensive than they are) | Houndstooth Blazer | Luxe Lip Balm (my go-to that I keep in my nightstand, purse, etc.) | Shearling Mules (more budget-friendly option here) | Louis Vuitton Vanity Case (this bag is selling quickly; I’m seeing it here and here as well) | Card Holder (this is a gift that will last for years)
