Brrr, it’s getting cold outside. That could mean some stylish fur boots or a new winter hat; but, without question, you’ll need some men’s leather gloves for those chilly winter nights. For driving, for putting an arm around your sweetie, and for generally looking like someone who knows where they’re going in life, leather gloves are a must. There are a number of great brands and stores for men’s leather gloves. Orvis and Wilson’s Leather have a great selection of traditional hand mitts, and we all know that department stores are a great place for gifts for dad. But while the UGG boots craze has been running hard for the past 5 years or so, did you know they also make fantastic men’s leather gloves? You can be manly and stylish in these genuine deerskin puppies (yeah, that’s kind of a mixed metaphor, I realize), and while they’re a bit on the high end of the price scale at $95, your hands will be as snuggly as your sweetie’s feet are in her sheepskin UGG boots. Check out UGG leather gloves at beso today!

Top 5: Gifts for the Fashionista December 7th, 2009 By Jenna
What do you get the girl who has everything?
Here are some ideas:
Simple chic leather gloves like these from Nordstrom. She has the beautiful dresses. Help her top off her look with this ultra-feminine accessory.
A luxurious cashmere sweater in her favorite color will put a smile on her face. You can never have too much classic cashmere.
LOFT slippers. They look like classic ballet flats. Perfect for the the girl who is always impeccably dressed. Big furry slippers just aren’t her style.
A cute cosmetic case. Is she always rummaging around her purse for a lipgloss? Help her get organized with one of these stylish cases. This Jessica Simpson case is perfectly sized for her purse and a steal at just $20 at Zappos.com! This MARC by Marc Jacobs train case is perfect for the travelling fashionista.
If she loves to have fun with her jewelry, why not get her a pair of bow earrings? Feminine, flirty and great for wearing with edgy outfits, a pair of bow earrings are a great choice at any price point. These Kate Spade bow earrings are the perfect holiday accessory and a steal at less than $50! For $220, these sparkly Dior bow earrings are perfect for the girl who loves wearing labels. These ultrafeminine Betsey Johnson earrings are only $30, a great gift for a little sister or any other fashionista-in-training.
Want to give her something extra? No fashionista will turn away a gift card to her favorite store. Paired with a gift you picked just for her, a gift card is not impersonal and generic. Give her the gift of doing what she does best: shopping!
Don’t forget to introduce her to beso so she can have even more fashionable fun during the post-holiday sale season.
Monthly Inspiration: December 2009 December 1st, 2009 By Mara
Let the holiday shopping season begin! This December, I know all of you are planning to beso giving — and to beso getting! That’s why we’ve drawn up our Holiday Gift Guides for all of you shopaholics out there. Check out our Stocking Stuffers, Gifts under $50, Gifts under $100, and Luxury Gift Guides. We’ve compiled our top picks for 2009 and you won’t be left disappointed.
On my personal shopping list so far are Tory Burch cosmetic bags and rosette headbands for my two sisters, a Love Quotes scarf and the Laura Mercier Honey Bath for my mom, a new pair of men’s leather gloves for my dad, and plenty of tubes of Kiehl’s Hand Salve for stocking stuffers (it truly is the best hand cream).
Coming off of a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, I’ve also been thinking a lot about the importance of not only giving gifts to loved ones, but also to those less fortunate. I recently had the opportunity to volunteer at a local animal shelter with a few coworkers. We showed up at the shelter not knowing what to expect, but soon found ourselves surrounded by the sweetest dogs just begging for attention and a nice long walk outside. During this time we exercised not just our bodies, but our minds and hearts as well. I can’t wait to go back and play with all of my newfound furry friends, and plan on bringing in some inexpensive towels and holiday dog toys next time.
This December, I hope all of you feel as inspired as I do to make a difference in someone else’s life. Even the smallest gift can show you care.
How do you beso lucky? With beso.com!
Happy shopping,
