Preppy Gift Ideas:

Do you have a Prep in your life who you still need to find the perfect Christmas gift(s) for?  Or perhaps you are just curious as to what gifts Preps like to receive... Anyway, here are a few options at a reasonable price point...

For Mens:

LL Bean Fleece Lined Slippers.

These slippers are at the top of my list, because I think they are Michael's favorite gift from me ever.  He would not stop raving about them and I gave them to him in the beginning of November.  The best part is that he can even wear them out and about... they don't look very slipper like!  At 39.95 They are a very reasonable gift, that will last far longer than cheaper attempts.

A Tie.

This is easy.  Preppy men love ties.  They accessorize far better than regular men... and need many ties for many occasions.  This is a classy looking tie, perhaps a bit springy, but I'd want to wear it if it were me... This one is from my favorite Kiel James Patrick.  

Here's a little gender neutral gift option that's sure to please any prep on your list.  In fact, Michael's brother got this for me for my birthday!  I LOVE IT.  How funny and cute, it can be found at Vineyard Vines.

I will provide more gift ideas soon!!!

More on Kiel James Patrick

So I caved yesterday and ordered something from the Kiel James Patrick site.  I'm holding strong on the bracelet... I am all for female empowerment but there's something fantastic about wearing jewelry someone gave you.  Most of my "good" stuff is from Michael, because lets face it, who shops at Tiffany or Pandora for themselves!!  (If you do, good for you!  But I just can't bring myself to do so...) anyway, I bet I'll cave in for the bracelet soon (which one!!!??? ALL?) but instead I am satisfied with these:

I am in love with these adorable earrings!  There are various colors and motifs (whales, anchors, lobsters...) I'd love the whales too, but the navy with pink Elephants were irresistible to me.  I've loved elephants always, but far more since Michael gave me the most adorable card with a pink elephant for me and a blue for him... I was sold on elephants after that.  At a very reasonable 22.00 USD for hand made silk button earrings with silver posts, how could I say no?  Plus, shipping is free and you get five dollars off if you sign up for their newsletter... LOVE IT.

Plus, I think Kiel James Patrick is adorable and hysterical.  I love his little blog with Sarah Vickers (they are totes adorbs together!!) and in my browsing I stumbled upon his personal blog in which he describes how gangsters scared him by calling him a cracker... seriously, can't make this stuff up!  How nice to buy hand made (in the US!) stuff by a really interesting character!  Love it...

PS. To anyone who loves me... I love everything on his site.  Seriously you couldn't go wrong... hehe!

Kiel James Patrick Rope Bracelets and Belts:

I'm currently lusting after a Kiel James Patrick bracelet.  I love the look of rope bracelet's, but his are so beautiful with fabulous color combinations, lined on the inside with soft fabric and it can be buttoned on and off!!!  They're 40.00 which may be a bit much for a rope bracelet, but they'd last forever.  I'm dropping hints about this one...

He makes belts too... I love them!
