Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers Under $50

If you're still working on your Christmas shopping, I've got a few more Gift Guides for you.  Today's Gift Guide is full of great Stocking Stuffers under $50!

Ever been known to lose your keys?  Or perhaps your kids, like me?  Just kidding.  Either way, this is your answer!

 

This is the best gift in the world for any girl who doesn't like to pay for manicures.  Or any girl in the world for that matter.  I mean, why did it take someone so long to think of this?  I wonder if it was a man, like the person who invented the tampon, you know?

Precious Peanut #2 would like the real version of this in his stocking all day long.

Start Your Engines: The Best Black Friday Deals

This Thursday is Thanksgiving, which as we all know in the retail world means Black Friday is a the very next day, which means every day until Christmas all anyone is going to be doing is hearing about, seeing and taking in enticements to spend their hard earned money on deals, deals and, you got it, more DEALS.  At least that's what the retailers want you to think, do, see, taste, touch and smell.  It's basically like the election campaign mailers on retail steroids sent via cyberspace.  So, go get your turkey on. Fall out on the couch, and grab your ipad instead of just your phone, because it will be much easier for you to get your Christmas shopping done with a bigger handheld device. Here is a list of some of my favorite sites, and their respective codes, for you shop and save this Black Friday.  Vroom!  Vroom!

Gift Guide For The Style Obsessed Coffee Table Book Collector

A few clients and friends have texted and emailed to ask if I'll be sharing my top Gift Guide picks for this holiday season. You ask and you shall receive.  SO.... here is my first of the season; Coffee Table Books For The Style Obsessed!  My own coffee tables, chairs, radiator box covers and side tables are piled high with them, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you.  Since I'm equally in love with one of a kind fashion, emerald shiny interiors and impeccable manners, none of which ever go out of style, there's a little bit of all three here.  I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for me in His, Hers, Wee Ones, Hostess Gifts and more!

Give Back With BeautyKind

Thanks to our good friends at Peachy the Magazine, the Queen City Style is excited to be partnering with BeautyKind, a new online retailer of beauty products with an interest in giving back. For every purchase, BeautyKind gives back 5% of the purchase price to their customer's cause of choice. What could be better than giving back while purchasing the brands you love and discovering new favorites?

And it's so simple. Just sign up with BeautyKind and select your cause. Login and complete a purchase, and 5% of your purchase price automatically goes to your cause. I have chosen the ALS Association, in honor of my Grandfather, but there are many causes from which to choose. If you can't find your favorite cause, let them know and they will work to get it added!

Another perk is that 1% of what you spend turns into points that can be used for future purchases, donations, or simply cashed out. If you choose to refer friends to BeautyKind you can earn 1% on their purchases. And as your friends share with their friends, your community will grow. The larger your community, the more you earn AND the more that's given back

Receive 20% off your first order when you sign up for BeautyKind using this link.

Below are some of my picks for this holiday season…all available through BeautyKind. Just click on the link of the item you would like to purchase.
