Grace Girl Picks: Tracie

You'll see her as Trace from Grace in our 12 Days of Christmas videos soon, but for now Grace Girl Tracie just can't wait to share a few of her favorite items in the store.  Check out her crowd-pleasing picks below!

b.u. jewelry

b.u. jewelry: prices vary, $42 to $90.

"I love how well it describes people." - Tracie

If you're looking for the perfect jewelry for a loved one, this is a top choice.  Thanks to the little quotes and sayings that are included with each piece, this jewelry makes a wonderfully meaningful gift.  The line includes beautiful necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings made with sterling silver or gold vermeil in a variety of interesting yet delicate designs - you'll find a piece for everyone on your list.  

Knock Knock pads

Knock Knock pads: small sticky notes, $4 each.
Information Central notepad, $15.  Parents' Night
Out and All Out Of notepads, $10 each.

"They're great stocking stuffers!" - Tracie

Serve up a little sass with your next note!  Knock Knock's colorful sticky notes are not only useful but also a source of entertainment - even the dullest reminders get a fun twist from titles like "Duh," "Blah, Blah, Blah," and "Just Sayin'" (with more to come!).  The larger notepads are an organization geek's dream; whether you need to keep track of groceries, to-do lists or information to leave for the babysitter, you'll find everything you need right here.  Give one as a little gift and who knows - maybe you'll get one back as a thank-you note! 

Rubber watches

Rubber watches: with rhinestones, $46.  Without rhinestones, $36.

"Add a little holiday bling to the mopey winter." - Tracie

Who needs a cell phone to tell time when you can glance down at one of these dazzling watches?  With or without a rhinestone-adorned face, these watches make a bold yet classic style statement.  They're basic enough for those who don't wear much jewelry, yet glam enough for bling-lovers.  With the decorative rubber wristband, they're so comfortable you'll forget you're wearing one - until the compliments start rolling in!

Find these items next to the Grace Girl/Guy Picks signs in the store, and check in with us tomorrow for day seven of our holiday picks!

Grace Girl Picks: Andrea

Our week of Grace Girl/Guy Picks continues today with selections by Grace Girl Andrea!  With her eye for style and great food, she's picked a few things that are sure to make your holiday a great one.  

Tocca perfume

From upper left to bottom right: Giulietta, Graciella, Stella,
Brigitte, Cleopatra and Bianca.  Tocca perfumes, $75 each.

"Long-lasting, beautiful scents." - Andrea

Do you ever stop by Grace and wonder what makes the store smell so good?  Tocca perfume is partly responsible.  We have six fragrances in stock, each with an iconic name and gorgeous packaging.  Who knew you could fit so much glamour into one chic little bottle?  (And just a hint: if Andrea happens to be on your holiday shopping list, her favorite fragrance is Cleopatra!)

Stonewall Kitchen Pumpkin Spice Cheese Ball Mix and Sugar Grahams

Stonewall Kitchen Sugar Grahams, $6.95.  Pumpkin Spice Cheese Ball, $3.95.

"A fantastic, savory, festive taste... your family will think you're a gourmet chef!" - Andrea

Food can pose a big dilemma around the holidays.  It's always nice to serve something that has a personal or homemade touch, but who has the time or energy to whip up dish after dish all season long?  The Stonewall Kitchen Pumpkin Spice Cheese Ball Mix and Sugar Grahams are a perfect solution - they're a delicious pairing that looks beautiful and can be put together in an instant.  No one will need to know you didn't slave away in the kitchen!

Turquoise tea light holders

Turqoise tea light holders, $15 each.

"These add beautiful color to any room." - Andrea

If you've been in the store recently, you know that we've put our own spin on traditional holiday colors by decorating with a lot of turquoise, silver and white.  Bring some of these gorgeous wintery hues into your home with our turquoise tea light holders.  They come in a variety of shades and shapes, and the metallic interiors cast a gorgeous light in any room.  They're fantastic as gifts, too - just add tea lights and they'll be displayed proudly all season (and probably longer)!


Remember, you'll find all these great items at Grace next to the Grace Girl/Guy Picks signs.  Come back tomorrow for more fun favorites!

Grace Girl Picks: Kate

It's our fourth day of Grace Girl/Guy Picks, and we're still going strong with lots of great ideas for the holidays.  Grace Girl Kate has picked out a few items that would be perfect to have on hand at a holiday party, whether yours or a friend's.  So whether you're planning in advance or making a pit stop before your party, we've got you covered!

Pinch Provisions Minimergency Kits

Pinch Provisions Minimergency kits: $26 each.

"A must-have for nights out - you'll be emergency-proof!" - Kate

It doesn't seem possible that something this small and adorable could be a major lifesaver, but these tiny little kits pack some serious punch.  Each Minimergency kit comes in an adorable monogrammed bag (available in OMG, WTF and BFF) and contains a whopping 52 miniature must-have items - plus refills!  They've got the basics, like lip balm and hairspray, but they also include things you might not think of beforehand - you know, those things you don't know you'll need until you need them - like earring backs, garment tape, and dental floss.  They truly are a party-goer's best friend.

Shannon Martin napkins & coasters

Shannon Martin: Set of 20 napkins, $8.  Set of 24 paper coasters, $12.

"A great way to get the laughter rolling at your holiday party." - Kate

When you think of party conversation starters, napkins and coasters are usually the last things that come to mind.  In fact, they're probably the least interesting things you'll find at a party.  Not so with Shannon Martin's products, which have had Grace customers chuckling since they made their debut.  Each set features a retro photo with a hilarious caption - for example, "Santa, my wish is for a fat bank account & a thin body.  Please don't mix these up like you did last year."  With ten great designs to choose from, you'll have plenty of cheer to spread around at your next party.

FunkyChunky snack mixes

FunkyChunky Pretzels and Chip-Zel-Pop: $15 each.

"I dare you to open one up and not eat the whole thing - it's addicting!" - Kate

Quick - what's your favorite snack food?  More than likely some of you thought popcorn, chips, or pretzels - and we're willing to bet that quite of few of you had chocolate on the mind.  Here at Grace, we have your dream come true in the form of FunkyChunky Pretzels and Chip-Zel-Pop.  The pretzel mix is a delightful combination of pretzels, chocolate, caramel, and pecans - and as if that weren't perfect enough, Chip-Zel-Pop brings all your favorite snacks together in a heavenly blend of potato chips, pretzels, popcorn, caramel, and chocolate.  Serve it at your own party or give it as a hostess gift - either way, you're going to make people very happy.  We will say this, though: if you manage to transport it from Grace all the way home without eating even a little bit, it will truly be a miracle.

Don't forget to look for the Grace Girl/Guy Picks signs in our store to make your holiday shopping a cinch - and check back tomorrow for day five of our favorite things at Grace!
