gift guide: sacramento street

Caitlin from Sacramento Street here! Can you believe the holidays are beginning? I certainly can't. When Catherine asked me to guest blog about my favorite gifts to give this season, I thought to myself "holy cow! I haven't even begun shopping or thinking about shopping" - well Rikshaw Design readers, Catherine got me to start shopping and here is my current list. Enjoy!

Stocking Stuffer: I have to admit this one isn't very creative but it's my go-to calendar every single year. I count down the days until this Linda & Harriett calendar is available and I buy up a few for family members stockings. If you are a paperaholic, like myself, than you will love this!

Hostess Gifts: I'm always searching for unique gifts to bring to holiday parties for the host - I can't bring myself to bring another bottle of wine or champagne. This year I'm introducing it to everyone it's my new favorite liqueur - St. Germain made out of Elderflower. Pour some in a glass with a little champagne and some Pellegrino and you are good to go - it's like heaven. Another fabulous gift is a S'mores kit. It's fun and unique!

Friends: My go-to gift for friends are Antipast socks. I love picking out a different color and pattern that represent their style. Antipast comes out with hundreds of patterned socks every season - its a fun gift to give because who buys themselves a nice expensive pair of socks? Another gift I'm going to give a few friends is this super cute elephant tape dispenser from iomoi. I want one for my own desk.

Husband: My husband is a hard man to shop for because he never really wants anything, but this year he's finally given me a hint - the Flip camera. I can't wait to have this on trips and at events. One other item I'm getting Eric is this Jack Spade toiletry bag. He usually puts his toiletries in a ziplock and I think it's time for him to upgrade.

Hope this helps with your holiday shopping - I need to get out shopping to check things off my list. Happy Holidays!

I would be quite the happy hostess to receive a bottle of St. Germaine -- it's delicious! I like the idea of bringing a non-wine drink, especially with all of the pretty bottles out there now.
