Holiday gift ideas from Cole Haan, JorgGray, Temperley London, Juicy Couture, TOUS, more

Looking for fun and unique gift ideas for the holiday season? Look no further. Here's some of my recommendations for something special for the ones you love.

  1. Two gifts in one, the Cole Haan Ruby Reversible Tote ($198) is a unique way to give a solid everyday purse and a wild, printed bag at the same time. The tote is pebbled leather on one side and a matching optical weave pattern on the other, and is available in purple, aubergine, black and burgundy.
  2. Cute gym bags are hard to find and often overlooked as a gift. But why carry an old ratty tote bag when you can have a unique, cute Qteaze gym bag ($150). Don't forget the matching shoe bags, swimsuit bags, sweatbands and gym towels!
  3. If you love President Obama's style, consider a JorgGray 6500 watch ($325). The watch was a gift to the President from the secret service and he wears it all the time. It's available in men's and women's styles. It can be purchased at Feldmar Watch Company, Le Cadeau, Valia’s Jewelers and Timeless Gems in the LA area.
  4. Customizable rings from Whimsy are a great customizable piece of bead jewelry ($125+). Select the type of ring and bead color(s) to combine for an almost endless number of combinations. Whimsy rings are also compatible with Pandora, Trollbeads and Chamilia, so you're not limited by any means.
  5. Carry your stuff in style with Temperley London's Rose Carrier Canvas Tote Bag ($64). The limited-edition design was painted by Alice, the brand's designer. Pick one up online or at their Los Angeles boutique at 8452 Melrose Place.
  6. Give the gift of youthful, flawless skin with SK-II's Signature Series. The anti-aging line uses Oli-Vityl, an ingredient that comes from Tuscan olives and increases anti-oxidant activity and promotes elasticity and resilience. The line includes a cream ($195) and a redefining mask ($135).
  7. Have a sparkly new year in Juicy Couture's limited edition BFF Strass style ($120). The oversized style in a custom brown and pink color fade features pink peace signs made of Swarovski crystals. They are available at Solstice Sunglass boutiques in Westfield Century City and the Beverly Center, as well as Nordstrom stores.
  8. The Penta collection from TOUS ($108 to $364) plays off the trendy geometric look in jewelry this season. The angular sterling silver designs are available in a matching necklace, earring and bracelet.
  9. West LA-based Rotem Gear offers cool Chanukah gifts at low prices (hey, it lasts 8 days, it's not too late to buy now!). Check out their latkes-centered line of tees and aprons ($15-$35).
  10. One more to slide into this gift guide under the wire just in time for Chanukah is Katome sterling silver necklace ($80). Available in two chic designs, the pendants are modern takes on the Chai and Magen David symbols incorporating numbers.

    Love the Penta collection. That's a style I could wear often.
