The holidays are here and we all know what that means: giving, selflessness, happiness, and world peace.
LOL. We kid.
As we all know, the holidays really mean crowded malls, angry shoppers, Black Friday mobs, stolen parking spots, stress headaches, and an extra 5 pounds from too many cookies. Ugh.
But if there is one good thing about the most stressful time of the year known as December, it is the fact that not only do you get to gift your loved ones with thoughtful presents, but you get to receive some as well. And because we know that oftentimes the men and kids (with the help of our credit card) in our lives need some help, we decided to put together a list of the season’s best gifts for you to, oh, we don’t know, “accidentally” leave up on their iPhones/iPads/iWhatevers. Because you know what’s better than a surprise? A present you actually want.
Faux Fur
Fur has come a long way since Joe Namath...
and this year faux fur is on every fashionista’s wish list. One of our personal favorites is this collarless jacket from Fabulous Furs...
Santa, if you’re listening, we’d like this in one of every color.
Statement Necklaces
One of the greatest things you can add to any outfit is a statement necklace. It takes everything from jeans to sun dresses to evening gowns to the next level. And you know the best part about them? They can distract from your problem areas. Basically they’re magic. One of our favorites is this fabbbulous Knot and Bow Designs piece. We loved the drama of mixed metals -- it’s totally to die for. It’s not too late to send this link to Santa!
Another one of our favorite necklaces is this absolutely fabulous Chloe and Isabel piece which you can purchase from our friend Ashley’s store, Ashley’s Baubles and More. Ashley offers TONS of adorable pieces, all at great prices. Basically, she’s the reason we’re able to look pulled together. Can you tell we just love her so much? Pair one of her necklaces with some of our Sleek Cheeks Leggings and our fab Fancy Top (featuring a high low hem!) and you’ve got yourself an outfit, girlfriend.

As mentioned above, we love our high low tops. In fact, we love them so much that we went out and made one! The top, officially known as the Fancy Tank, is perfect for masking your tummy and provides that excellent give that allows you to order an extra glass of wine without fear of a button flying off. What can we say, we aim to please.
Blanket ScarvesInventions like blanket scarves kind of make us feel sorry for the men in our lives. While we get to go out in public (and look fashionable) in. a. literal. blanket., the guys are stuck wearing jeans and button ups. Actually, whatever. Serves them right for that whole “not letting women vote” thing. We fought for these blanket scarves. We deserve them. One of our favorite ones is this oversized tie-dye scarf from Brightly Twisted and trust us, it will not disappoint. Pair it with some Sleek Cheeks Leggings and an adorable pair of booties and you are good to go for both a nap and a night on the town. That’s the greatest thing about the blanket scarf -- you can wear it anywhere. We don’t know who invented this little miracle product, but bless you, ma’am. Bless you and your comfy loving ways.
Speciality SpicesAre you looking for something that’s made in America, practical, and adorable? Well, have we got the gift for you. Made and shipped from a warehouse in Atlanta, Georgia, Briny Sea Dry Goods are the perfect mix of useful and adorable. Each spice comes in a fabulous tin and is perfect enough to leave out on the counter, because 1) they’re just that great looking and 2) who has time to clean up the kitchen? These make awesome gifts for teachers, girlfriends, sisters, and obviously yourself.
HydraFacialAs we said before, holidays are stressful...but just because they add years to your credit card payoff date, doesn’t mean that they should add years to your face. Enter: the HydraFacial. Here at the Hold Your Haunches office, we refer to this treat (and it’s a treat, trust us) as having our face vacuumed and steamed. Basically it’s like having a cleaning service for your face -- and who wouldn’t want that? Check out this site for a list of spas near you. Trust us, ladies, it’ll change your life. Plus it’s less expensive than Botox. It’s a win-win, really.
