Inspired Last Minute Gifts

Today marks four days before Christmas. If you haven?t found the perfect gift yet, or just looking for something special for your self, we?ve got you covered. Here is our list of gifts you can grab in a hurry:

For Her: 

EXPRESS YOURSELF: COACH CREATE IS ALL ABOUT YOU

Seeking a distinctive gift for a loved one fashioned by you? Or maybe even a gift for you? (We won?t tell.) With Executive Creative Director Stuart Vevers at the helm, Coach brings the wildly popular customization craze to an inventive new level. This novel DIY experience dubbed Coach Create offers a hands-on adventure that?s riveting and entirely addictive. 

Meet Kristin Hughes. She is a New York-trained Coach Craftswoman exclusively at the NorthPark Center boutique helmed by Store Manager Camille Jeffries. Kristen helped us design our own Dinky bag and we?re entirely smitten. 

The Process:

First, choose from these classic leather pieces: Dinky, Saddle, Clutch, Bowery Crossbody, Small, Soft or Envelope wallet.

Accessorize your selection with a strap, scarf, or one of the vast assortments of bag charms. We loved the Coach Link and Tea Rose straps but decided to keep the original leather strap.

Join Kristin at the Coach Leather Bar where you get to cherry-pick from an array of leather Tea Roses featuring embossed leather petals with metal enhancements, Western-inspired Prairie Rivets, or Souvenir Pins featuring metal lightning bolts, robots, rockets and more. We went for the Tea Roses but also adored the rocker chic rivets and pins. Then pick your pattern. Helpful templates will get your design just right.

Watch as your Leather Bar Specialist brings your design to life. We highly recommend making an appointment. Allow for an hour to fully enjoy the experience. Bring a friend, sister or your Mom with you for the best gift of all. #CoachCreate all begins with you!

In the New Year: We?re dying to try the Made-to-Order Rogue available in three sizes, 12 colors, and nine customization options. So far for Texans, this is an online experience or available at three Coach boutiques in New York. Visit Coach.

How about this beautiful Roberto Coin Sauvage Prive Collection bracelet in 18K white gold. It is a hinged cuff bangle, pave set on the top with 5 rows of round brilliant cut diamonds and squared/pointed pave ends. Dias 5.10 combined total weight. ($22,500) Available at Eiseman Jewels.  

For Him: 

 

If you?re looking for unique gifts for him, Eiseman has them. Take this Balthazar MB&F ( $14,500 ) mechanical sculpture, weighing in at over 8 kilograms and standing 40 centimeters tall, Balthazar is a sophisticated and imposing high-precision robot clock composed of 618 beautifully finished, micro-engineered components. Balthazar hides two sides, a light side: boasting 35 days of power reserve, Balthazar’s clockwork displays “slow” jumping hours and sweeping minutes via two discs on the chest, while the power reserve is indicated on his belly. His red eyes, which continually scan the surroundings, are actually 20-second retrograde displays. The dark side: rotate his torso 180 degrees and the absolute nature of Balthazar’s darkness is revealed by the cold, hard skull with menacing teeth and deep-set ruby-red eyes. Balthazar’s chest also contains a dual hemisphere moon phase. If you?re looking for a timepiece for every day, go no further than Ulysse Nardin?s Executive Skeleton Tourbillon. It is a sleek and modern watch with titanium accents.  Visit Eiseman.
