Holiday Gift Guide: For the Modern Romantics
"And all I want for Christmas is you!"
We all have that one friend, sister (or mom, even?) who lives their everyday lives like a fairy tale. Okay, maybe there is also a part of me that secretly enjoys occasional romance and a hint of glamour. And that side of me has compiled a list of beautiful Christmas gift ideas for that modern romantic in your life.
hair accessories
I'm a big fan of Lelet’s hair pieces. Although a lot of their products are designed for brides and bridesmaids, they now have a collection more suitable for everyday wear and the holiday season!

A Blush Ring Box
I like to give my jewelry pieces a home to belong to, especially special ones like my engagement ring, my wedding band, gifts from my grandmother etc., so even after the wedding period, I still often like to collect or look for beautiful ring boxes.
Recently, I came across this brand called Esselle SF that offers the most adorable collection of ring boxes. They come in 4 colors, but my favorite is the blush velvet and rose gold metal combination.
A Romantic Getaway
Okay, not like the entire trip (unless you can afford it), but more like you help to contribute! You can consider either buying a gift card from Airbnb or credits from an airline, for instance. In your Christmas card, suggest a few romantic places like Aruba (Why? I listed 10 reasons here) or Paris (because Paris is always a good idea), to help paint the overall picture.
You don’t have to fly away to the lap of luxury to have a romantic escape, either. You can go somewhere a lot closer to home and a lot more secluded. A camping trip can see you dining under the stars and enjoying some of the most gorgeous sights without the rush of tourists around, and finding the right RV camp can make it a lot more comfortable, providing the amenities to give it just the little touch of home luxuries that makes a real different. What makes it special is making the time to enjoy going somewhere new together.

A Tulle Skirt
No princess is a princess without a tulle skirt! And yes, that includes fake ones, like me. I think a tulle skirt can easily be dressed down for a casual date night or be worn to a formal event. There is also something very "Carrie Bradshaw" about a tulle skirt, too!

A Set of Silk PJs
Because modern romantics like to look pretty going to bed! Silk pajamas got that chic, feminine feel to it. I personally prefer wearing shorts or pants to sleep instead of a slip dress, so I tend to pick out two-piece sets for myself and girlfriends.
I remember gifting my cousin a set from a brand called Equipment earlier this year for her birthday, and she liked it so much she did the "trendy" thing of wearing the PJ-top-over-jeans look.
Let me know what you picked out for that romantic gal in your life!
Thank you for reading!
Love,
