Last Mintue Gift Gallery

Mrs Strong stationery. The ultimate, beautiful little luxury.



I am in love with these little monogrammed plates from La Plates. Look at the patterns and color!! The endless possibilities- create your own signature look.

The most gorgeous coffee table book this season. Jamee Gregory's New York Parties, A Private View takes a look inside exclusive parties of some serious tastemakers. Great party design and invitation ideas, plus an in depth look into Tory Burch's apartment, which we all know is where I would like to go when I die.
My idea of heaven.




If you have never seen Bravo's "Nine by Design" about the crazy lives of Robert and Cortney Novogratz and their SEVEN children, it's a treat. Downtown Chic is a cool design book that showcases their work in New York City and offers tips about child rearing, traveling, and navigating the world with a large family. Fun stuff.



Andrea Immer Robinson does exactly what the title suggests. She takes wine and makes it simple, approachable and enjoyable. Andrea has penned so many great books and wine guides, go to any bookstore and take your pick. She won't disappoint.



The New Yorker has always been a tastemaker, literally.
Secret Ingredients- The New Yorker Book of Food and Wine is "a feast of delicious writing on food and drink, seasoned with a generous dash of cartoons." What a perfect combo.




I haven't jumped on the Ipad bandwagon just yet, but I'm getting close. That many people can't be wrong...


One of my favorite authors is Dominique Browning. Slow Love Life talks about how to mellow out in the crazy, hectic world we leave in. A good way to start 2011.





John Derian paperweights. I love these!



John Robshaw makes the most beautiful bedding, quilts, and pillows. All hand block printed in gorgeous colors and textures.




Alice Waters new book Edible Schoolyard documents her journey about revolutionizing the school lunch.
Beautiful photos, inspiring stories, and a concept I believe we should adopt across the country to feed our school children. Don't they deserve better?




I am not a huge hip hop fan, but I am in awe of Jay-Z. His gorgeous new book Decoded is "provocative, evocative...part autobiography, part lavishly illustrated commentary on the author's own work, Decoded gives the reader a harrowing portrait of the rough worlds Jay-Z navigated in his youth, while at the same time deconstructing his lyrics."





Isn't everything about Louis Vuitton gorgeous? Yes, but if the pricetag on one of their handbags is a little much for you, try this gorgeous book. Locally you can pick one up at Styled Life.




Love these leather poufs in a wide spectrum of colors from John Derian. I would have them all over my house if I could...like little drops of candy coated color, they make the perfect perch for your feet or an extra spot for seating.
