favorite gifts: Vera Bradley

Vera Bradley has always been a favorite brand of mine. Their products are great quality, the patterns are stylish and fun, and they have something for just about everyone on your Christmas list.

These are some of my favorite gift ideas from Vera:1. Watch – $65 – I'm not much of a watch-wearing person, but one of my very best girlfriends is, and she SWEARS by the Vera watches. They come in many of the Vera colors, so there's really one for everyone's taste.

2. Curling Iron cover – $17 – Are you like me and find that you're rushing out of your hotel in order to make checkout by the skin of your teeth? And, of course, you've just finished curling/straightening your hair, so you can't just throw the curling/flat iron into your luggage. This cover is the perfect solution. 

3. Mini Laptop Case – $48 – This little case is the coolest ever, not only is it perfect for a small laptop or a netbook, but friends, this case can hold the coveted iPad. Score!

4. All-in-One Wristlet – $32 – I have one of these and I have never owned a more versatile little wallet. It holds my cell phone, cash, cards, and change. And I can clip my keys to the outside. It's perfect for those crazy shopping trips when you want to keep everything close.

5. Baby Bag – $97 – Perfect for the soon-to-be-mama in your life. My bestie has a couple of these {what? you can't use the same one for both kids!} and loves them. The have a diaper-changing mat, tons of little pockets and lots of interior space. Great for a new or veteran mommy.
 
6. Weekender – $92 - I actually have two of these things. I LOVE them. Whenever my hubby and I get a way for a weekend, I take this along. It has lots of space on the inside and a bunch of pockets for toiletries and other various items.

7. Hard Eyeglass Case – $18 – Anyone who wears glasses knows how difficult it is to avoid stepping on them, smashing them, flushing them down the toilet, {i kid, i kid} or scraping them up. I've had a couple of these over the years and my glasses are never better protected when I'm actually using it.

8. Stationery – $29 – I know, this almost seems ancient, but I hear people still write letters to each other. If you're the letter-writing type, this stationery is just gorgeous.

Good stuff, huh? There's so much more; really there is. Go check out the Vera Bradley website and look around. While you're there, perhaps you wouldn't mind purchasing a Christmas gift for me? How about my favorite Vera item this year? That would be splendid.
