WHAT’S HOT?
This Last-Chance Gift Guide!
Dear Hot Friends,
If you’re still hunting for a few special gifts—and don’t want to resort to another gift card—this one’s for you. I’ve rounded up five truly unique pieces from HOT that make thoughtful, joyful presents and will arrive in time for Christmas. Each is the kind of item that feels personal, a little unexpected, and very “how did you find this?” And if you’re inclined to support a small, woman-owned business during this final stretch of holiday shopping, I can’t tell you how much it means. Here are five great last-minute gifts I absolutely love.
1. Who wouldn't want to twist their hair up with a charming croissant clip? I bet you have just the person on your list for this one!
This charming claw clip by Solar Eclipse is designed in New York City and features a double-sided design for a perfect look from all angles. Handmade with biodegradable acetate made from recycled wood pulp and hand-painted by artists, this accessory effortlessly holds hair for a secure, all-day style. This unique hair clip makes a great gift!
2. Here's a unique bag charm from iconic coat purveyor, Max Mara. Maybe you can't buy your giftee the teddy coat she's dreaming of, but this one's a steal!
How cute is this Max Mara bag charm? It’s the Max Mara Icon overcoat in beige with red leather trim. 5” long and attaches with a red leather strap. Can be used as a key chain also.
3. These collectable hoops by jewelry design giant, Robert Lee Morris, make a truly special gift!
The Robert Lee Morris Colossal Hoop Earrings are Shiny gold-plated forged brass. Large, thin, and dramatic, these are 3″ in diameter and lightweight. The hoop uniquely sits against the pierced ear, and the posts are 14K. These are super chic and classic high fashion. The original dustbag is included.
4. Do you have a Gen Z girlie on your list who only shops vintage and pre-owned? This gorgeous vintage cashmere wrap will make her very happy!
This is such a pretty capelet! Purchased in the early aughts, it’s a soft Italian cashmere cable knit in warm cocoa and fastens at the neck with a tiny forest green flower. It features knit fringe at the neck. In great condition and fits all.
5. This gold dome ring with gemstones and crystals was based on a vintage prototype and looks much pricier than its pricetag!
This is a special piece that is a take on a vintage Dome Ring with gemstones done in a confetti pattern and engraved with stars. This ring is high-quality steel, making it waterproof, hypoallergenic, and very durable. It is genuine 14K gold-plated and will withstand regular use and hand washing. It should last a very long time. Size 8
Wishing you a calm, joyful finish to the season—and thank you, as always, for supporting HOT and small businesses like mine. Happy gifting, and happy holidays!
