What do you get for the person on your holiday shopping list who loves Old Hollywood and dresses like it’s 1950? Good question! It might be hard to find something at a mall for this person unless you’re visiting Tiffany’s or the Chanel counter. I know this from personal experience! I rarely find ANYTHING at the mall for myself so I’m gonna help you guys out!
In today’s post, I’m sharing 10 gift ideas for the starlet in your life!
- A gift card to their favorite hair salon (Marilyn got her roots done every Saturday, need I say more?). If you’re local, I recommend Dimension 7 Salon in Hillsboro, OR!
- Anything from Alejandro Mogollo Art !!
- The “This Was Hollywood” book by Cara Valderrama.
- A gift card to Vixen by Micheline Pitt, Unique Vintage or Dela Deville’s Vintage. I know some people think gift cards are impersonal but I think they make great gifts! Who doesn’t like to buy what they want?!
- The Besame Red – Lip and Nail Color Set. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything from Besame, especially if you know your starlet’s favorite era. You can also still purchase makeup from the Marilyn collection like the eyes and pencil set!
- Classics on vinyl. Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin…Take your pick.
- A bottle of champagne. Any bottle will do.
- A gift card to their favorite true vintage shop. If you’re local and looking for one, I recommend Most Everything Vintage. A few of my non local favorites are Connie’s Vintage Trunk and Lady Jane Vintage.
- A hat, headpiece or gift card from Kramarić Millinery.
- Bad Girl Hoop earrings available in silver or gold at Vixen by Micheline Pitt. They’re an everyday essential and they’d make the perfect stocking stuffer!
Whether you want to treat yourself or someone else this holiday season, I hope this list makes your holiday gifting a bit easier. As you can probably tell from theses photos, I’ve already purchased a few gifts for myself from this list this holiday season 🤣 (holiday photo shoot with Michaela at Cobalt Studios included) !! My Gentleman Prefer Blondes Little Rock headpiece was custom made by Kramarić Millinery, my Marilyn Little Rock notebook is from Alejandro Mogollo Art and my lipstick, eye shadow and blush are from the Marilyn Collection at Besame Cosmetics!
Happy Holidays!! 💋
