Gift Basket Idea: Classy Careerist



Whether one of your gal pals just recently landed her dream internship, is busy job searching and interviewing, or already works a 9 to 5 career, this gift basket is sure to pamper any young professional. Instead of using a traditional basket for this gift set, I started with a woven desktop organizer. Cubicles can be so stark and gray, so a little decor goes a long way.

Help your working girl get the year off to a bright, shiny start with a new planner. This metallic one is sleek, polished, and just the right amount of glam. Throw in a ceramic coffee mug that will get used morning after morning and afternoon after afternoon. Beauty can be tricky in a professional setting, but a lovely lipstick in a subtle nude tone will ensure your worker bee is sitting pretty at her desk and feeling pulled together before a big meeting or lunch.

Add a couple fashion accessories that will suit her business casual environment. I adore watches with skinny bands and detailed faces. If she wears glasses, you could throw in a gift card to an online shop so that she can pick out some new specs to put the finishing touch on her workplace wardrobe.

What would you love to be gifted as an intern or young professional?

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character.  Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together.  Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
