It’s the most wonderful time of the year–and not just because you get to spoil the ones you love with gifts they’ll cherish. It’s a season for thanks and gratitude, for gathering with friends and family, for holiday parties, ambling meals, and, if you’re lucky enough to be in South Florida, glorious weather! Soak up all the holiday cheer and send it back out into the world with a special gift (or two) that will undoubtedly make someone’s day. Here, we offer you more than 90 ways to spread the love–including to yourself!
Happy Holidays from Bal Harbour Shops…
THE REVELER

Because party girl doesn’t quite cover it. The reveler is the life of the party and doesn’t take themself too seriously. But they definitely are serious when it comes to fashion. So we’re giving you all the feathers, sequins, and shine to go big this holiday season and beyond.
THE CHAMPION

You know the type: they play all the sports, they were the first to tell you about padel, their list of hobbies may even make you feel a little insecure. But, you love them anyway, and to prove that you, too, are a good sport, you lean right into their passion and level up their style with an unrivaled gift.
THE BOHEMIAN

Boho-chic never looked as good as it does on her. For all the Chloé-loving (Isabel Marant, Ermanno Scervino, et al) girls out there, this one’s for you. Fringe, suede, studs, and lots of turquoise, too, these are the gifts that bohemian dreams are made of.
THE YOUNGSTER

Teach em young–the value of great gifting, that is. Whether they’re your mini-me, your favorite nephew, grandchild, or sibling, it’s the perfect time to acquaint them with the power of a well-made gift. Or, if they’re already one of Bal Harbour’s youthful habitues, they’re pretty much going to be expecting something from this list.
THE MODERNIST

There are those whose look is to appear effortless, and then there’s this category. Structured, polished, classic, or likely all of the above, these are the accessories for the ones who appreciate investment pieces, espouse the values of a foundational wardrobe, and favor a whiskey neat. It’s not about the visible labels with this bunch, but they will surely recognize your efforts to maintain their low-key luxe style.
