This holiday season, we could all use an extra dose of merry. I’m determined to make this year the best and the brightest which means fully embracing all the cheer, good vibes and COLOR.
I fully subscribe to the theory that the best way to spread holiday cheer is singing loud for all to hear (name that movie) but the next best strategy is giving gifts that will spark joy long after the holidays are over.
Whether you’re gifting your bestie, your mom or even yourself, here are 14+ ideas for the color-lover in your life…

01 | Sh*t That I Knit Rutherford Merino Wool Beanie
Sh*t That I Knit’s Merino Wool Beanies are seriously some of the best beanies in the game! They use only the highest quality sustainable merino wool, handmade by over 170 Peruvian women artisans in order to make their super-soft, extra warm beanies. I feel so good buying from a brand that’s committed to making positive social change!
02 | Clare V. Quilted Nylon Belt Bag
Clare V. makes some of the best bags in the game, hands down. They have long been a team fave, and I know Shana swears by her Clare V’s. This belt bag is especially good for hands-free shopping, traveling or wearing while schlepping your kids. How FUN is that striking purple with the contrasting green zipper? I’d wear this around my waist or even slung over one shoulder.

11 | Brandon Blackwood's Kendrick Trunk Crossbody Bag
I am SO excited that Nordstrom has finally started carrying Brandon Blackwood's handbags!

His bags check all the boxes (and they're just gorgeous).

Golden Goose sneaker is a knock out. I grabbed up the fila for this sneaker lover, thank you for finding it – can’t wait to try
I bookmarked this post so I can refer back to it when I’m tempted to buy another oatmeal colored anything. Only problem is I want all these things for myself. Gifts, shmifts.
Haha, yes, my thoughts exactly!! I bought a shameful amount of the picks I included for myself!
Yes! You can never go wrong with Golden Goose sneakers! (Or any colorful sneaks for that matter 🙂 )
