It's not quite Thanksgiving, but I just put my Christmas tree up anyways. It's a silver tinsel tree filled with mid-century charm. I love this tree, and it's getting me in the holiday spirit, which means it's time for holiday gift guide!

There are so many amazing things I've discovered these past few months, and I can't wait to share them all. I thought I start with a list of things perfect for your best friends.

The Party Girl

Strip He Glasses, Fishs Eddy, $32

If you can't have half-naked men serve you cocktails, perhaps this is the next best thing? Well, maybe not, but these fabulous glasses will make a spot on gift for a wild gal pal.

The Design Lover

Tom Dixon Block Watch with Leather Band, YLiving, $200

If you follow my writing you know that I'm 100% obsessed with Tom Dixon. For a special bestie who works in the design world (hint hint, that's me!), this Tom Dixon watch will give her an amazing conversation starter for all those design events she attends.

Your Original Bestie (Mom!)

Retro Viewer, Image3D, 29.95

Image3D has revived an iconic childhood favorite, the View-Master, by allowing you to personalize the reel of photos. The design historian side of me went crazy for this! I filled up one reel with photos of my dog, Coco, and another with family pictures for my mom. The best thing about this: once you have the viewer, you can create new reels whenever. What better way to commemorate a life-long friendship with your mom or bestie?

The Career Girl

Lemon Cypress Single Topiary, Terrain, $40 - $60

We can't all live the dream that is a posh building with a doorman and perfectly trimmed topiaries out front. These petite plants bring a tiny sliver of that dream everywhere they go. Perfect for girlfriends who plan every detail of their dream house.

The Style Icon

Cleft Surgery for One Child, Smile Train, $250

While you can donate as much or as little as you'd like, $250 covers the cost of cleft surgery for one child. A donation in your friend's name is a beautiful way to honor her love of looking like a perfect 10. On a daily basis we obsess over our hair, makeup, and clothes--why not give the gift of loving the way you look to a child in need.

What are your favorite gifts for best friends?
