Women’s Shoes by Bzees

Product

Give the gift of comfort this holiday season with Bzees. Their air infused soles, dynamic stretch uppers, and free foam footbeds make it feel like you are walking on a cloud. Seriously, once you wear a pair of Bzees you will want to own multiple pairs for every season. For a holiday gift this year, we suggest two new styles: The Nurture and The Balance. Both of these slip-on style shoes are amazingly comfortable. You can wear them anywhere without worrying about getting them dirty as they are machine washable.

Both give you a casual look that you can wear all day long. With Bzees cloud technology, you will find it hard to ever wear another kind of shoe again. The Nurture comes in 4 colors and prints. We chose the burgundy for a more seasonal look. The Balance is available in 3 colors, and we went with classic black that matches everything. This shoe has a more athletic look to it than the Nurture, but both are equally enjoyable to wear and look great for a casual day.

Hand-Crafted Leather Camera Strap by Rubington

Product

For the photographer in your life, we adore this leather camera strap from Rubington. We can’t recommend it enough! Made from buttery soft, top-grain leather, and available in a beautiful array of colors (shown here in soft, subtle Arctic blue), this is the perfect gift for any photography enthusiast – from a pro to a hobbyist (calling all momtographers!).

This wide-band strap has been hand-crafted with a DSLR camera in mind, but it can also be used with a compact or mirrorless camera. Because of the wide nature of this camera strap, it’s able to more effectively distribute the weight of your camera on your neck, making for a much more comfortable photography experience – gone are the days that you’ll have an aching back and itchy neck from your camera’s basic strap. Each Rubington DSLR camera strap easily ties onto your camera’s strap hooks and can be quickly unclipped with the included “Rubi-loop” quick release connectors.

• Hand-crafted, machine sewn
• Provides a more comfortable photography experience and fashionable appeal
• Top-grain leather (floater) top piece
• Top-grain leather (nubuck) neck piece
• Exclusive Rubington ‘Rubi-Loop’ quick-release connectors securely fasten to your camera
• Designed for DSLR cameras, but also usable with compact/mirrorless cameras

Perfect gift for any photographer in your life, whether they are simply a hobbyist or photography enthusiast, all the way up to the professional level.

Trick your family into thinking you spent hours slaving over a hot stove (we’ll keep it our little secret). Each Instant Pot includes a 3-ply stainless steel removable cooking pot, stainless steel steam rack with handles, and you won’t have to worry about the pot “exploding” like traditional stovetop pressure cookers sometimes do.

Silk Pillowcase by Slipsilk

Product

There are silk pillowcases, and then there is the silk pillowcase. Slipsilk is the first company to produce silk products that are held to a higher standard. Designed as a beauty product and not just as bedding, their silk pillowcases offer more than simply a good night’s sleep.

While cottons will grab your hair and twist and pull through the night causing unbearable bed-head and damaging your hair, Slipsilk is designed to do exactly the opposite. You will wake up from a restful night’s sleep with your hair perfectly intact. In addition to being great for your hair, silk also ensures you will not wake up with those dreaded sleep creases. Also, while cotton sucks moisture from your skin, silk will ensure that you wake up with glowing and hydrated skin. With their extremely high quality requirements they ensure that only the highest grade mulberry silk is used in production. These high standards bring together the perfect combination of thickness, shine, softness, and durability.

Looking to add an additional touch or add on for the perfect gift? Pair the pillowcase with a silk sleepmask! This perfect pair will ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Perfect for the woman who loves a touch of luxury and is devoted to her beauty routine!

About Slip

In 2003, Fiona Stewart found herself in a tough spot. She was on medication which was causing her hair to thin and her dermatologist suggested that she sleep on a silk pillowcase. Not able to find one of the quality she wanted on the market she crafted one herself by wrapping the best silk she could find around a pillowcase. She and her husband decided to launch Slip and before they knew it they could barely keep up with the demand. Slip is the world’s first silk pillowcase offered as a beauty product.
