Holiday Gift Guide: Karina's Picks

Clockwise from top left.

TASCHEN: Great Escapes Box Set
I love Taschen. They have the most eclectic book collection, and it totally helps that they look great in a bookshelf! This Great Escapes Box features a compilation of books on the most extraordinary and tempting hotels around the world. Ranging from funky and inexpensive to luxuriously elegant and wildly pricey, the hotels and the photos featured are enough to make anyone wish they were taking a great escape.

Gregory Pullover Parka by Elizabeth & James
Just like a good trench, every person needs a good parka in their closet. This Gregory Pullover Parka by Elizabeth & James is enviably cute while still practical enough for those uber chilly days!

Voluspa Candle Available at Anthropologie
Time and time again, the collection of candles by Voluspa never disappoint. Their long-lasting scents fill wide spaces with serene scents sure to get you totally addicted (I am!) Available at Anthropologie, these candles come in a variety of scents for every type of customer. My personal recommendation is Champaca Bloom -- you'll never try another candle again.

Pickling Classes at The Brooklyn Kitchen
Although this particular class is only available at The Brooklyn Kitchen, I imagine there are plenty of courses offered all over the country, because who doesn't like pickles?

Suede Sandstorm Boot by Madewell
These shoes have been on my "wanted" list for quite some time. They look totally comfy for long days walking and can be paired with casual and formal attire (some knee highs would look great!) Come this Christmas, I hope they're mine!

Crochet Pearl Ring, via Etsy
It was love at first sight when I saw this ring. I am enamored with the crocheting and unique pearl, particular the color. Although this ring is one of a kind, the vendor has other fantastic pieces to add to your staple jewelry collection!

Navajo Cutout Dress, via Nasty Gal
The great deals found on Nasty Gal continue to amaze me. Not only are their duds affordable, but they're unique and adorable! Take this Navajo Cutout Dress. It's utterly flattering and perfect for those upcoming holiday parties!

Magno Medium Radio, via Areaware
For all you design thirsty fiends, this Magno radio is retro inspired while still being kind of modern. I think I just might need this for my morning showers! :)

What are some of your "must-haves" for the upcoming gift giving season?
