2025 Holiday Gift Guide!
Hi friends! It’s been a minute since I’ve been in touch and it makes me kind of sad that I haven’t been able to share more with you this year. 2025 has turned out to be one of, maybe THE busiest one I’ve had since I’ve been in business! When I’m busy, it means I’m shopping—A LOT— and over the course of the year I’ve been squirreling away some of my favorite things to share with you in my holiday gift guide. I’m especially excited to share items from six local, Nashville artists and businesses. I hope you find some of my favorite things to gift your favorite people! Happy Holidays!
Descriptions of all the reasons why I love something are listed below. Clicking on the gift guide directly will take you to my shoppable Hue & Stripe catalog. An * is listed next to small or local businesses. I may receive a small commission through affiliate links if available.
DIOR Blank Journal; $95. What’s better than a pretty blank book to track your dreams, plans, and resolutions for the new year ahead? It’s a little spendy for a journal, but with the gift box and all the trimmings it’s sure to make someone feel special.
Violette FR Lip Nectar Hydrating Lip Stain; $29. I shall never rest in my quest for the perfect, just-bitten, berry lip! This one is at the top of my list and my cosmetic bag.
StickyBestie Birkin Shopping Bag; $15. Ever wanted to give someone their first Birkin? Now you can! Digital photographs of the famous Hermés Birkins are printed on reusable shopping totes. Now you can shop Trader Joe’s in style!
Budha Girl All-weather Bangles; 6 for $120. I’ve always loved the look of a stack pf bangles, but couldn’t stand the noise that came along with them. Budha Girl has created chic, silcone bangles that are weightless, soundproof, waterproof and come in a wild variety of colors! I love the silver and light gold. Please note they are sized, so check their size chart before you order.
Imogene + Willie Graphic Tees; $68*. This Nashville denim favorite keeps serving cool and edgy looks with their original graphic tee collection. Designed and made in the USA, nobody does it better than I + W.
Barbour x Tuckernuck Floral Umbrella; $75. Yes, $75 might seem like a lot for an umbrella, but how could you possibly let yourself lose this one it’s so gorgeous?! Bring a smile to someone’s rainy day and give a gift you can actually use!
Pureland Sake; $30-40*. This sake brand, imagined and owned by Nashvillians and cultivated and brewed in Japan is one of my favorites. Before gifting that same ol’ bottle of wine, wrap up some sake and thoughtfulness instead! Available locally at Corkdorks in Green Hills and Last Chance Liquors in East Nashville.
Anthropologie Corduroy Hat; $44. I love a hat. Especially in corduroy or flannel for casual winter vibes.
Guerlain Customizable Lipstick Case; $43. This super chic lipstick case is giving old Hollywood glam. It comes in variety of colors and textures and you can customize it by engraving a special name or message on the mirror. Mine says Glamanda, of course. Lipstick sold separately, but that also means it’s refillable!
Jewelry by Susan McVicker; $90-$400*. I recently discovered Susan’s work at a local art show, and if you know how much I love jewelry you know how excited I was to discover her pieces! If you’re looking for something special, I highly recommend reaching out to her (or to me and I’ll put you in touch).
Fluffy Cardigan; $39.99. Oftentimes fabrics from Amazon make my skin crawl and I hate telling people to buy them, but this gem surprised even me! Don’t let the vacuum sealed package fool you, just steam the sweater after opening and be cozy for days!
Quince Cable Knit Baby Cashmere Cardigan; $249.90. This cashmere cardigan is hands down one of the best pieces of cashmere you can get, let alone for the price point! Stop reading and buy this right now!
Flora Taralli Crackers; $4. I lovvve a good cracker and these are simply irresistible. The perfect gift to BOGO!
Medicube Triple Collagen Cream; $21.99. This rich cream lives up to the hype you hear about Korean skin care. I’ve been using it on my neck for a couple months and can really see a difference. I still can’t believe it’s under $25!
TheraFace Depuffing Wand; $169.99. This face wand has hot and cold treatments to help depuff, reduce dark circles, and enhance radiance. I use it at night to help my skincare penetrate deeper into the skin. It feels great and is small enough to carry on the go!
Grey’s Fine Cheeses Gift Card*; Add a gift card to this delicious Nashville cheese shop to pair with the snacktacular aforementioned crackers. Mmmm, now I’m hungry…
Liberty of London Paint-by-Number Kit; $25.99. Add some creativity and color to the upcoming winter days with an iconic painting designed by the storied Liberty of London.
High Garden Tea Sampler; $29*. High Garden Tea is a Nashville treasure and brews some of the best tea I’ve ever had! Haut Toddy is my favorite, but you can find your own with their tea sampler.
Rifle Paper Co. Mugs; $24 ea. My mom and I have “coffee club” over the phone every morning. A couple of years ago we started getting matching mugs too, and Rifle Paper Co. has some of the prettiest! (Even if you don’t buy the mug, I highly recommend starting this tradition with someone you love.)
Bene Handbags “Mini Nott” in Ivory Lizard; $450. I love a mini bag and this one is too precious to pass up! Carry it by the ladylike top handles, or use the chain for practical crossbody wear. Available in several other colors and fabrications.
Pottery by Audry Deal-McEver* Another local Nashville artist I discovered at this fall’s TN Arts and Crafts Fair. I purchased a pink floral vase, similar to the print on this chip bowl, and can’t wait to own some more of her pieces. Pieces are currently limited on her website, but follow her on Instagram for updates about her local shows. (One coming up this Saturday, Dec. 6th!)
Oven Mitt by Printfresh; $28. You may know Printfresh for their charming pajamas, but did you know they have home goods too? Be sure to check out their placemats, aprons, oven mitts, and napkins, to bring some whimsy to your kitchen!
