The Gift of Gabs Gift Guide: ETC. Gifts
Best of beauty gifts featuring Violet Grey picks and lovely gifts for the home and hostess!
Perhaps my favorite gift guide to curate: the Et Cetera gifts! What gifts are these? This Gift of Gabs Gift Guide will cover the best of beauty and beautiful things for the home and/or hostess. I hope you enjoy. Love, Gabs
Let’s start with one of my very favorite destinations for the coolest and chicest beauty. Enter: Violet Grey. They just so happen to have amazing (and even exclusive) items that would make for a great gift to any beauty lover in your life. Here are my picks:
A very nice Violet Grey red makeup bag | An exclusive Le Labo Santal 26 candle for Violet Grey | My favorite Chanel eye shadows | I love anything from Joanna Czech | Chanel cuticle oil?! | THE Yves Durif brush (I’ve been wanting this forever) | My favorite hot rollers | Elevated cotton pads are a great gift for someone who appreciates the little things, from Chanel and a pure cotton option | I’ve been loving a period patch for any discomfort while on the go, a great stocking stuffer! | My favorite makeup removal for on-the-go
A huge thank you to Violet Grey for sponsoring this ETC. gift guide!

Some ideas if you’re in a pinch for time and you need a hostess gift:
You can’t go wrong with a floral arrangement (props if you already have them in a vase or vessel for ease)!
A gift card to a good restaurant in their city
A heartfelt thank you note
Quality extra virgin olive oil
Stop by a local shop to pick up a nice pantry item they can use later (good salt, fancy pancake mix, coffee, nice pasta, chocolate, etc..). I’ve gone to Gjusta Goods or Cookbook in LA for these types of goods! Also Bucatini! More spots like this on my small biz guide.
