Great Gifts Under $100!

I'm sure we all can agree that it is nice to get a little gift every now and then.  Although it's always fun when I'm the one on the recieving end, there is still nothing better than giving someone a gift, especially if you know they will love it!

I know I don't speak alone when I say this time of year is typically when my calendar starts getting a little booked. Last minute weekend trips are planned, birthday dinners are put together, and end-of-summer (sigh...) pool bashes are beginning to form. That being said, I have got a few gifts to buy. But with such a jam-packed social calendar, it can be overwhelming for anyone with so many presents to buy, especially when the cost of these so-called little gifts add up.

Typically, I am a procrastinator when it comes to these kinds of things. But one thing I learned from my mother ("the hostess with the most-ess" is one of her favorite phrases...) is that there is nothing worse than accepting an invitation and showing up empty-handed. To avoid this dilemma, I have decided to get a jump start on brainstorming gift ideas for these kinds of occasions and have found the perfect gift for everyone on my list- all under $100!

1. The Fashion File Book, Brooks Brothers $28.50

2. Clovertree Vintage Lavender Whipped Sugar Scrub, Spa Habitat $28

Clovertree Vintage Lavender Body Cream, Spa Habitat $15

3. Rana Cocktail Ring in Blue, Kendra Scott $50

4. Votivo Candle in Red Current, y&i Clothing Boutique $28

5. Cork Date Night Package, Cork Wine Bar $50-$100

6. Hand Beaded Braceletes from Bali, Indigo 2 for $25

7. Bailey Leather Tablet Case, Banana Republic $69.50
8. Too Faced Natural Eye Shadow Kit, L.Bartlett $34

Smashbox Shades of Fame Lip Gloss Set, L.Bartlett $29

The Beauty Bundle

Want to know what's in our Beauty Bundle here at West Village? Let's just say we've got what you need to have a look good, feel good kind of summer.

Avalon Salon/Spa:Need a day to unwind at the spa? Or need a day of beauty at the salon? Both? No problem- Avalon Salon and Spa offers a full spa located inside the salon. Convenient, I know!

Floyd's 99 Barbershop: To say the least, this is not your typical barberhsop. The walls are adorned with band posters and customers can watch one of the plasma TV's, log on to the internet on one of the shop's computers, at the same time of enjoying Floyd's 99's own radio station. But what makes this place great is their loyalty to customer service and the great pricing- haircutes range from $15-34!
Ideal Image: Banish unwanted hair for good! Ideal Image offers state-of-the-art laser hair removal from trusted medical to help you become your personal best. They are the national leader in laser hair removal and even say most of their guests stop shaving after the first treatment!

InCinR8: I can't help but feel great after taking one of Danny Connolly's classes at InCinR8. With names like "BOOTY-Licious" and "Gunz/Bunz (N' Roses!)", expect classes that are both fun and full of energy. They definitely whip me into shape that's for sure!  

The Joint Chiropractic Place: The Joint offers an alternative approach to healthcare, based on the age old practice of restoring balance by promoting your body's ability to heal itself. Predicated on the vision that quality of life can be improved through routine chiropractic care, The Joint brings affordable and convenient chiropractic to patients through their clinics and is dedicated to identifying and addressing your health needs.

Lash Studio: Everyone knows that everything is bigger in Texas, and your lashes should be no exception. Bat your eyes pretty with eye lash extensions, or choose on of their other services offered: waxing and cosmetic injections, as well as airbrush tanning that gives you the perfect sunkissed glow.

Lure Salon: Offering hair cut, hair styling, and hair color service, this upscale salon will help you define your perfect look. And have you heard of the lure bar? Choose the style you want from a menu and sip a signature cocktail while you get your hair did. Now that is the ultimate salon experience. 

Massage Envy: Need a quick fix for a stress-filled day? Massage Envy is your remedy. Choose your own therapeutic massage type for the massage experience that is best for you, all at an affordable price.

Nail Bar: When it comes to getting your nails done, Nail Bar is where it's at. It's fun, relaxing, and best of all- BYOB. There's nothing better than indulging yourself every once and a while!

Palm Beach Tan: Nobody knows how to get the perfect tan better than Palm Beach. From tanning beds to sunless tanning systems, choose the tanning experience that is right for you and find your own summer glow- year round!

Spa Habitat: It is impossble to leave this nature-inspired spa without feeling good. Using only organic products that are safe for the skin and body, Spa Habitat's eco-friendly vibe and serene atmosphere provide a peaceful retreat for anyone needing some relaxation and rejuvenation. 

Wink Threading: When it comes to shaping your brows, you want them done right. Threading removes hair in a precise line formation, giving you the exact shape and arch you want. At Wink, it is only $8 and lasts for weeks!

Father's Day Shopping in West Village!

Alright, Father's Day is only TWO days away. If you are still out there searching for something to buy dad- like me- you know what this means: It's crunch time. But finding that perfect gift for dad can be tough, and if he is anything like my dear old dad, sometimes it can seem impossible. Every year is the same story. I ask him what he wants and his response is far from helpful. Although his answer is always "Oh, I don't really need anything," or "just time with you is enough for me"... but let's be real. He deserves a little something on this special day. 

But back to the initial problem- what on earth do you buy him? It seems when I finally do find something he would like, all hope is lost when I look at the price tag. (Who knew menswear was so pricey these days?) To help make this year a little easier, I have scoured all of West Village for the best sales and have found some awesome gifts- and some HUGE steals! From leather goods and accessories to dress shirts and ties, I have found it all. 

Here's the low-down on who's got the best deals... 


Allen Edmonds: See the full Father's Day Sale Catalog here. Plus get various free gifts with your purchases, like money clips, leather key chains, and leather luggage tags!


Demerara: Enjoy 15% off ANY dress shirt in the store! (excludes sale items)
