Holiday gift ideas for Moms

I am not posting many GIFT guides this year, but I will do a few. 

For starters, I wanted to put together one for moms. You see, this year, I became a first-time mother....so, I know just how challenging motherhood can be.   Every so often it's nice to receive a little something new ....ya know.........like a gift!   What better place to-go for gifting to mom than Sur La Table ? Below are some of my favorite items over at Sur La Table for moms. 

Heck, or for anyone that loves to entertain or enjoy a nice hot chocolate at home.  Which gift would you buy your mama friend or your own mother?

 

Have a great weekend!!! 


P.S. on another note, I am currently working on a blog re-design, stay tuned!

Valentine Gift Ideas

I know it can be overwhelming to shop for a Valentine's gift, but for the next day or two, I've decided to give you a few ideas. You don't have much time left - so here we go!

Men, If you give your wife or gf perfume, chocolates, a massage etc....try adding in a little something extra to the mix such as an art print from my Made By Girl shop, a gorgeous card from Paperless Post or some cute stickers from Paper-Source! These are just thought ful extras she'll love! 

Ladies.... you can also do the same for your honey......it's not just men doing the gifting, you know?!

Design: Books as Holiday Gifts...

Hello again! It's me, Brooke, from The Modern Sophisticate.


I don't know about you but all I ever want for Christmas are books, especially gorgeous design books.  I have books in every room of my home, including my bathroom, kitchen and dining room-- I can't get enough of them!! If you are running around last minute trying to think of some quick and easy Christmas gifts, why not consider a beautiful book for your loved one?  One can never have too many, you know.  

And if you REALLY want to make an impression, why not add in a decorative object to coordinate?  
Here are my picks for...

...the Hip Hop Fan...

1. Decoded by Jay-Z
2. Polygon Object from Indigo
3. Glow In The Dark by Kanye West
...the Fashionista...
