Trifecta Tuesday – Last Minute Gift Ideas

Trifecta Tuesday  |  12.22.15

I’m shifting the direction of Trifecta Tuesday this week a little bit as Christmas nears. Above you will find great last minute ideas for her, him and a couple/grandparents/in-laws. All are sure to please and all will arrive by Christmas! 

1.  J.Crew – Downtown Field Jacket

This jacket is the go-to perfect look for practically any outfit. It’s completely versatile to go from casual to cocktails and comes in three colors (deep burgundy shown, and is my favorite of the three). Right now this jacket is 30% off, with $10 overnight shipping. So, if you still need a gift for a lady in your life, this jacket is sure to do the trick. If you don’t believe me, read the 246 reviews that give it 4.5/5 stars. That’s pretty impressive to say the least. 

2. Shinola Detroit – Men’s watch (The Brakeman shown)

I was introduced to this company by my lovely boyfriend, who had been eyeing a watch from them for awhile now. He was lucky enough to receive one in the mail as an early Christmas gift from a family member (um, jealous.). The watch is absolutely stunning. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is top-notch. Shinola is based in Detroit and sources ALL of their components in the USA. An absolutely astounding and admirable accomplishment. Are their watches a little pricey? Yes. Is it worth it to have an american made product? 100%. They don’t only make men’s watches, I now have my eye on one of the women’s styles of watches. They also have leather goods, bicycles, journals and more. Peruse their website and be sure to check out their story. It’ll have you feeling all tingly inside about your purchase. Go USA!

3. Williams-Sonoma – Olive Crate

​Sometimes it’s just easier to buy something for a couple vs. separate gifts. Yes, it might be geared more toward one person or another, but hey, you can’t please ’em all! The Williams-Sonoma Olive Crate is a great gift to send to a couple, in-laws, grandparents, whoever. It comes with it’s own olive tree (I mean, that’s cool in itself), olive oil, soap and hand cream (all with olive oil ingredients). These are all things people can use and/or need. To top it off it comes in a cute crate (I love a well-packaged gift). Right now, it’s on sale for under $80! And you can do overnight shipping for under $18. Check that couple off your list. Done and done.
