Ever just want to spritz your hair with something that magically makes it fall into place—and the most you want to have to do is fluff it a little with your fingers? A product that does this really exists and it’s award-winning J.F. Lazartigue’s Hair Volume Tonic Styling Spray. It’s pricey at about $40 for 3.4 ounces but a little goes a long way and it truly lifts and style dull, lifeless hair.

PACT Socks are sold in Whole Foods and at wearpact.com at $24.95 for a three-pack and come in fun colors and patterns—but what I love best about them is that these organic cotton socks hold their color and shape better than any sock I have ever worn before. They are a great value and they have patterns and colors to please kids and adults alike. There is a 30 per cent off all socks on the site now as a holiday promotion, by the way!

Julep is the most buzzed about nail color company right due to their polish’s legendary durability but now but they have nails, eye shadow and face kits for the holidays that are quickly disappearing off the shelves at Sephora starting at about $16. Here’s an assortment bound to please the beauty diva in your life. Right now, get a free four-piece nail and eyeliner box just for signing up on the julep.com site!

Lavazza Gran Aroma Coffee is a crowd-pleaser and it’s hard not to know why this 100 Arabica bean coffee is #1 in Italy! $9.99 for 12 ounces of ground coffee at shoplavazza.com. Be sure to try the Coffee Shortbread recipe using Gran Aroma on lavazzastore.com created by Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos.

For the creative guy/gal in your life, what's better than drinks, dinner and a show? Combining all three, Tertulia is a chamber music series that presents concerts in New York City restaurants, and features 60 minutes of music, with at least 75 minutes set aside for drinking, and socializing (The one pictured above is from upscale American eatery Harding's). The concert series has proven to be a draw for music lovers and the Hollywood elite alike, as a previous installation was attended by Oscar winner Natalie Portman. Tickets start at $25 per person - check out tertulianyc.org for more info on the upcoming season.
