Gift Guide for the Guys

Fran Acciardo Gift Guide for the Guys

The Gift Guide for the Guys is here! This is always highly requested and fun to put together, especially since I recruit Joe for help every year to ensure I am curating gifts that the guys in your life would actually like to receive! We have everything from a classic cashmere quarter zip, to a cocktail smoker, to Joe's favorite luxurious body washes. These gifts come in at all price points, so there's something for any guy on your list! Happy gifting!

Gift Guide for the Girl who has Everything

A gift guide featuring a curated selection of luxury items (at ALL price points!) for the girl who has everything... including jewelry, bags, clothing, tech accessories, and more.

The Gift Guide for the Girl who has Everything is my favorite gift guide to make every year; I started making this gift guide in college with my bestie/then roomie Elizabeth and we always had the best time collaborating to find fun, unique, luxurious gifts for any girl who is hard to shop for. 


The best part? This gift guide has options at all price points so you can find something fabulous for anyone on your list.

Gift Guide: Boss/Coworker (Under $100)


Gift Guide: Boss/Coworker (Under $100)


I'm excited to share gift ideas for a coworker or boss today; this is a new category of gift guide for me and I hope you find it helpful! 


I tried to pick a variety of items, all under $100 (that felt right?) below! I gifted my old boss this warming mug a few years ago and it was a big hit! Other great ideas: a nice bottle of wine, a gift card to a coffee shop near the office, or a gift card to a restaurant in their neighborhood! 

Gift Guide: My Favorite Things!

Gift guide featuring favorite things for the holidays: Kindle, sunglasses, handbag, sneakers, hair tools, sweater, earrings, makeup bag, robe, Dutch oven, hand cream, perfume, ice bucket, towels. Perfect gift ideas for everyone on your list!

Welcome back, gift guide season! This is a tradition I've cherished since high school and college, when I would spend countless hours curled up on my couch after classes, Gilmore Girls marathon playing in the background, crafting these gift guides for days on end. These gift guides are truly one of my favorite things about my platform; they are a way to share my love for finding the perfect present and getting into the holiday spirit.

I'm so honored that many of you compliment my gift guides year after year. I often create the same gift guides each year, and your enthusiasm is truly what makes me so excited to continue those traditions while incorporating a few new gift guides based on feedback you've shared (thank you!). I am hoping to get all of my gift guides up by Thanksgiving week so we can all take advantage of the sales as they roll in -- so soon!

I'm kicking off the gift guides today with my 'favorite things' gift guide! This gift guide features essentials I can't live without, from the Kindle that changed my reading game, the trucker hat that I rarely leave without, to my everyday purse that's both stylish and functional. These pieces come in at all price points and are sure to please! Whether you're searching for a luxurious treat or a practical gift, you'll find something for every girlie here (I hope!)

Without further adieu, these are a few of...

My Favorite Things

November 2024 Moodboard (Desktop & iPhone Wallpapers!)

Hello, November! Hope you all had a fun Halloween last night or last weekend, and a lovely October! I truly love Octobers; this past month was such a great one with a high school friend's wedding, a trip upstate to see the foliage, an engagement party for a friend here in NYC, and just overall lots of pumpkin coffees, leaf peeping, and time with my favorite people!

I woke up this morning and went out to early vote! It was very easy and quick, and I would highly encourage everyone to vote if you haven't already! You can find your polling place here if you live in New York or here for other states!

Of course, after the election we have Thanksgiving this month as well! I am so excited for Thanksgiving this year because I'll be staying in NYC and my mom and brother are coming to town to visit; we'll go to the Macy's Day Parade which I've always wanted to do, and then have Thanksgiving at my apartment! I'm excited to host and plan out my tablescape and menu!!

Anyway, hope you love this month's moodboard! Please tag me on Instagram if you download this month's moodboard -- I absolutely love to see it on your screens!
