Time-Savers: No More Purse Dump
Category:
For the Home Storage/Organizing Mom Accessories Solutions
What: The Plaid Purse Bag Organizers and
Hooks
Why: With these handy
organizers, you don’t have to dump out your whole purse if you want to switch to a different bag. The Plaid Purse bag organizers are like giant wallets that store your essentials. They have five gusseted slots and a Velcro pocket to hold you wallet, keys, cell phone and more. Load up the organizer and drop it into the bag you want to carry for the day. The
wrap-around version forms a ring, leaving space in the middle to fit a sweater or wrap.
The Plaid Purse also carries adorable
bag hooks to hang your bag on a table or counter when the other alternative is to put in on the floor. Years ago while working in television I had to carry a Super Model’s purse around all day because our dressing room did not have appropriate hooks. I even tried to clean an area for her bag, but she adhered to the superstition that you should never put your purse on the floor if you want your money to last. Wish I’d had a bag hook.
Whether you are superstitious or just don’t want to get your gorgeous bag scuffed, a bag hook is must. The Plaid Purse
hooks feature wonderful designs that are hand painted in Hawaii on capiz shells. I have one and it gets lots of attention. Both the organizers and hooks make great gifts for the purse-obsessed and the price is a lot lower than that of a new designer purse.
Price: Drop-In Bag Organizer $12.95,
Wrap-Around Bag Organizer $14.95,
Bag Hooks $19.95

Gift Find: These Stocking Stuffers are in the Bag
Category:
Holidays Mom Bath and Body Accessories Beauty Fashion
We all have friends and relatives who are a bit difficult to please in the gift department. But every woman I know carries a handbag, so you’re pretty safe giving fun and practical stuff they can carry in their bag. And if you’re flying for the holidays, all these gifts will fit in YOUR bag and you won’t have to pack them.
These tinted lip balms from Therapy Systems ($22) will make her lips feel soft and look great thanks to Vitamin E and cocoa butter, and the shiny silver case is perfect for the holidays. With colors like pale nude and pale pink, they’re perfect for your “but I don’t like lipstick” friends, who could use a little color in their life and in their bag.
I am not always the most pulled-together person on the planet. That’s why one of my purse must-haves is Crease Release by The Laundress
. It’s not going to take all those wrinkles out of your linen skirt, but you know how sometimes you leave the house and there’s that one wrinkle you missed with the iron, or a crease you didn’t notice until you’re at the door for a meeting - it will get rid of those. It has a really nice scent and it’s a perfect stocking stuffer for someone who travels. The 2 oz. size is only $5 at beauty.com.
Help her keep her pretty and pricey bag off the floor with Luxe Link ($35). What I love about Luxe Link is it’s available in a variety of colors and patterns like mod and crystal, and it’s designed so you can either keep it in your bag in it’s travel pouch or put it right on your purse to remind you to use it. When you need it, just unwind the chain link and slide it on the table, then hang your purse on the link. It arrives in a giftbox, ready for her stocking.
Finally, this time of year it’s all about naughty and nice. If she hasn’t been naughty, splurge on this Juicy Couture Leather Zip Case
($85). Right there on the front, in gold of course, it says “For nice girls who like stuff.” Nuff said. She’ll like the adorable Juicy tassel and logo lining. There are two compartments for bills, coins, ID and credit cards. Shipping is free.

Celebrity Find: Brooke Shields Loves Springs Eternal
Category:
Celebrities Jewelry Mom Accessories Fashion
What: Eternal Collection Pendants by Jewelry Designer Stefan Ranzlov
Why: Brooke Shields recently ordered an Eternal collection pendant and she’s not alone—Kate Beckinsale and Courteney Cox-Arquette have also placed orders for these one-of-a-kind necklaces. The concept is easy; you select whether you want a round or rectangle shape and then pick the image you want to use. Keep in mind that the image produced on the pendant will be black and white.
Stefan Ranzlov utilizes a high-resolution laser inscription imaging process in order to permanently etch the finest details of your image onto white gold. What makes these pendants even more amazing is how the light hits the fine lines of the etching. It creates a holographic effect and the pendant changes color and luminance with every movement. The necklaces are almost guaranteed to be a treasured heirloom that will make a perfect gift.
Price: $300 and up

Fashion Solution: Control Your Cleavage
Category:
Mom Accessories Fashion Tops Solutions
What: The Bosom Button
Why: Do you have that dress or top you love as long as you never have to bend at the waist? You can’t have much fun when you’re worried about showing too much or maybe getting stuck by a wayward safety pin. The
Bosom Button is a smart and pretty accessory that quickly solves the problem of potential overexposure without looking like you’ve had a fashion emergency. After using a button on a top I never wear because I’m too lazy to sew it up, I was hooked. The Swarkovski crystal looks like jewelry instead of a fast fix, and I can’t think of a prettier way to keep those pre-maternity tops in rotation just a bit longer.
You can pick up a single button or a set of three. Keep one in the car for that unexpected wardrobe malfunction that always occurs at the worst time possible.
Price: $12 for one button or $25 for a set of three
Find it: bosombutton.com
Deal Alert: Use coupon code Momfinds and receive a 20% discount on any purchase.

What: Little Miss Matched
Why: If your family is anything like mine, matching socks are hard to come by. Instead of wasting time looking for a matching pair, try buying mismatched socks. I know, sounds crazy, but if you check out Little Miss Matched, you’ll see that wearing mismatched socks can be fun AND cute.
Get them in “pairs” of three for girls and boys, and if you have a wee-little one, get the cutest set of nine mismatched socks for $20 (an adorable baby shower gift). If you’re also suffering from the disappearing sock syndrome, they’ve got your feet covered. They come in adult sizes, too.
