'One Gift' Featuring Joi Svezia...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Joi Svezia from Nuestra Vida Dulce
will answer:

If I had to choose just one gift it would be the Troy Lighting Sausalito 5 Light Chandelier.  I ADORE the antiqued brass finish and the circle design.  I had previously seen this light floating around the blogosphere but didn't think much of it until I saw it in person. At that time, it was love at first sight! It's a stunning fixture and would look lovely over my dining room table, Santa! ; )

'One Gift' Featuring Tina Luphia...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Tina Luphia from Luphia Loves will answer:

It would be this gorgeous Prada purse. I have ALWAYS BEEN A BIG Prada fan, from their big Jackie O sunglasses to their ladylike, vintage print dresses. This purse just sum up all the styles I adore, it is classy and elegant, yet the patent and the delicate little bow also adds a modern and girlish touch!


More perfectly, it can also double up as an evening bag. This is definitely the ultimate dream purse for me!

'One Gift' Featuring Megan...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Megan from Honey We're Home will answer: 

Hi y’all, I’m Megan from Texas, a part-time lawyer and full-time mommy.  My blog is called Honey We’re Home.  If I could choose only one material gift this year, it would be MICHAEL KORS Clear Acrylic Glitz Watch.  I have two MK watches in this style (gold and white) and I love them!  I had to get used to the chunky style on my SMALL WRIST, but now it’s like second nature to wear a large watch. 


I definitely feel naked without it and am constantly checking the time since I have to keep the little baby on track with naps and meals.  This clear acrylic watch reminds me of ghost chairs and lucite tables!  Might as well be stylish when changing DIAPERS!

Love this series Jen!  Thanks for having me!

'One Gift' Featuring Kyle Knight...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today Kyle Knight from Knight Moves Blog will answer:

This year I'm wishing for a pair of pillow shams from Leontine Linens. For some time now, I've been infatuated with their exquisite monogrammed goods and I'd love to get my hands on pretty much anything that they make! Leontine's goodies certainly do not qualify as something I "need," but they would make a perfect gift because it's unlikely that I would ever buy myself something so INDULGENT. 

They have beautiful CUSTOM BED LINENS and my favorite styles are emblazoned with an oversized classic monogram. All of their creations are timeless and "heirloom quality," so the shams would be enjoyed for many years to come.  If I were LUCKY enough to receive them, a silly amount of stress would ensue during the color and monogram-style selection process. There are just too many amazing options! 

Rest assured that if a Leontine Linens gift certificate were to magically appear under the Christmas tree, I could get it together & make my picks! Fingers are officially crossed!!  ;)

'One Gift' Featuring Laura Trevey...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today Laura Trevey from Bright, Bold & Beautiful will answer: 

I am thrilled to participate in Jen's fun guest post "One Gift" on Made By Girl. The question is: What one item do you want most for Christmas? If I had to choose just one item, it would definitely be the white "Daily System" from Pottery Barn.

I'm a little crazy when it comes to organization ~ I like everything to have a place. When all my art supplies are organized, I can focus on my painting. Happy Holidays to you Jen, and thank you for having me!

'One Gift' Featuring Maegan Tintari...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE.  Today, Meagan Tintari from Love Maegan will answer:

Because of blogging & taking hundreds of photos daily, I am in major need of a new computer ...and obviously I want the BEST OF THE BEST, the 27" Apple iMac.

For the last couple of years I've been using the older iMac - the white one -  and my HD is at capacity! {I literally have less than 1mb free space}  Last month BlogHer graciously sent me a new laptop which has been saving my life because I cannot upload one more thing to my iMac without it exploding!  


However, I have to load all my images onto the laptop/pc then upload the large files to flickr, then open and save each image from flickr onto my iMac/desktop so that I can edit them in Photoshop.  {I don't have photoshop on the laptop}.  So while it's been saving my arse, it's also a major PAIN in my arse {& lessens the quality of my photos}!  So more than wanting a new computer, I desperately NEED one for work {and my sanity}!

'One Gift' Featuring Nancy Marcus...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today, Nancy Marcus from Marcus Design will answer:

If I could choose 1 gift this Holiday, it would be the gold scroll side table from Neiman Marcus! I first spotted it on MadebyGirl, {Jen has such a good eye} and I have been smitten ever since! Gold accessories are a HOT trend for 2011 and this little creation would add a dose of traditional polish to any space. 

I'd place this lovely piece between the two tufted chairs in my living room, it would add the perfect finishing touch! Here's hoping that Santa is reading this :)

'One Gift' Featuring Emily Clark...(Via Made By Girl)

This series is called, ONE GIFT UNDER YOUR TREE. Today Emily Clark from Emily Clark Blog will answer:

I'm crossing my fingers that Santa will bring me a new chair for our family room to replace the sad one we have now.  I want something with SLEEKER lines without being too modern.  I think a perfect choice is the Anderson Wing Chair from Williams-Sonoma Home.  


It's a fresh take on the traditional wingback and would be a vast improvement to the oversized (yet undeniably comfortable) chair we currently have.  I've never ordered furniture from WS Home and this chair is probably out of Santa's price range, but a girl can dream!  Especially at Christmastime.
