Non-traditional Holiday Gift Ideas

As the holidays approach, one of the most rewarding but stressful parts is gift giving. Most of us probably spend hours trying to find the right present for the person who has everything while simultaneously being thoughtful and kindhearted. Even though around the holidays it is customary to give sometimes lavish presents, it is also possible to give gifts this holiday season that are a bit non-traditional and will have some meaning behind them.

Here is a list of a few of our favorite non-traditional gifts:

GlobalGiving Gift Cards

The gift cards from GlobalGiving allow you to give the gift of giving; the recipient of the gift card gets to pick the projects they want to support and see how their money has been put to work with updates from the field. This is the perfect gift that keeps on giving this holiday season!

Casa Couture’s Holiday Wish List Round Up

Here at Casa Couture we are all getting excited as the holidays are quickly approaching. From decorating our office to planning our holiday party to working on orders for the holiday season we are busier then ever around here. Nonetheless, we decided to take a quick break and since we are all obsessed with shoes we each made a holiday wish list with a favorite flat, boot, and heel that we’d love to find under the tree this Christmas. Here is a sneak peak of our holiday wish lists, take a look and see which shoes made the cut!

Claudia’s Picks:

“I never met a shoe I didn’t love, but some are just cuter than others. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a weakness for shiny objects, but mostly because I’m a firm believer that a little sparkle can turn the simplest black dress into something special. I filled one particular item on my shoe wish list already, which is this gorgeous pair of glitter Badgley Mischka peep-toe with a hidden platform. I plan to rock these from Christmas through the New Year.”

“Although I’m obsessed with these Yves Saint Laurent mirrored-heel stretch-leather knee boots, I think they will remain on my wish list rather than in my closet. If you can swing the hefty price tag, these boots can be worn casually with a pair of leggings or a sleek pencil skirt for the office. Either way, the mirrored platform gives you an excuse to keep looking down to admire your swanky boots… I mean, you can always say you’re just freshening up your lipstick.”

“I know these are our own designs, but I live in my pair of Charlotte flats. They were my favorites this Fall and I’m adding the Pink Coral to my Christmas wish list for Spring.  The flirty floral embellishment gives a feminine touch to almost everything in my wardrobe.”

Colleen’s Picks:

We’ve been seeing cut-outs everywhere lately in fashion! I really love this different take on a black heel! Black heels are so simple I think every girl owns a pair. These are a little different though so you won’t feel so run of the mill!

I think boots are a wardrobe staple for any girl in the winter. Riding boots are sleek and go great with skinny jeans. These are so versatile you can pair them with just about anything though for a complete and sophisticated look!

I have been really into the spiked look on shoes and blouses this season. It definitely makes a pair of flats more of a statement. The gold spikes are funky and spice up just a regular pair of flats. I know a lot of girls hesitate to wear flats out at night but when they are this cute I think they will reconsider!

Kelsey’s Picks:

“I am loving metallic right now and these pumps would be the perfect shoe to wear this upcoming holiday season, the cap toe is on trend and I am simply obsessed with anything J. Crew which makes them all the more perfect.”

“I’ve seen motorcycle boots all over the city this season and have always wanted a pair, these Jimmy Choo black biker boots are timeless and would be a great addition to my closet.”

“These Kate Spade Carissa flats are just fun- the sequined polka dots add some sparkle to the dark suede and would be the perfect paired with a some boyfriend jeans and an oxford.”

Roisin’s Pick:

“The black pump is a staple in any girl’s closet. The cap toe style is so hot right now, and the gold and black contrast is season-less, versatile and gives any outfit a bit of flash. I can’t wait to pair these with some black skinnies and a sheer blouse for a girls night out!”

“I am a boots girl, plain and simple. I wear them Fall, Winter, Spring and occasionally those rainy days in the Summer. Riding boots are classic and a must have in my day-to-day wardrobe. These boots by Karen Millen are perfect- understated, sturdy and simple.”

“A little cheetah print can go a long way in spicing up an otherwise “blah” ensemble. The smoking slipper trend is one of my favorites for the winter season as it’s chic, exudes effortless style and is most importantly, comfortable!”

Nikita’s Picks:

“There’s something striking about this leather and suede combination, the richness of the black contrasts with the leather causing the heel to pop. This holiday heel would be a great addition to my closet!”

“Many women tend to go with black or glitter heels for the holiday parties. Why not change it up by wearing teal? These booties have killer metal spikes for a nice added surprise without going over the top.”

“If you’ve been wearing your 4” heels from 9-5 and your office holiday party starts at 6, give your feet a break by slipping into these berry flats. Plus, the gold accents bring a subtle touch of holiday spirit to your feet.”

“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.”
