Finn’s Favorite Gifts: My 6 Picks for This Holiday Season
Posted by CHRISTA FONTAINE
1. Leather Lariat for Mom
My mom is 82 going on 52. She’s active, stylish, and fearless, but she’s not one to pick something edgy like a lariat on her own. That’s where I come in! She’s getting my favorite Leather Lariat in black with the gold Peace Cross.The soft leather and lightweight design make it easy to wear—and versatile enough to style as a choker or long wrap. It’s youthful yet sophisticated, just like her. With a little guidance, I know she’ll love it… and probably end up showing it off at her next Pilates class.
2. Pearl Magdalena + Pearl Wrap for Tara
Tara, my dear friend, has a beautiful collection of pearls, but it’s time to shake things up! She’s getting my favorite Pearl Magdalena and Pearl Wrap in gunmetal.These aren’t your grandma’s pearls—this combo is bold, edgy, and a little punk rock. Perfect for Tara, who used to listen to the Ramones on repeat in college. I can already see her rocking them at PTA meetings, making a statement with the wrap worn as a choker and the Magdalena layered long. Goodbye stuffy pearls, hello rockstar mom!
3. Oval Cloister Ring for Ella
Ella is petite, but her personality is anything but small. She loves attention (and compliments!), and while she doesn’t usually go for statement jewelry, I’m giving her the Oval Cloister Ring.This ring is bold and fun—perfect for sparking conversations and drawing compliments. I know she’ll be surprised by how much she enjoys wearing it and the confidence it brings. Ella, get ready for your new favorite accessory!
4. Betty Necklace + Maria Cross for Viris
Viris is my modern-day Betty—happy, adventurous, and effortlessly stylish. She’ll be getting the Betty Necklace paired with the Maria Cross for a touch of edge.Viris loves a bold look, and this combo will suit her perfectly. With her signature eyeliner and fearless spirit, she’ll make this necklace her own. Betty never disappoints, and I’m sure this will become a staple in her wardrobe.
5. Bolo Tie for Christa
This was the easiest pick of all. Christa has been eyeing the Bolo Tie with the Electra Medallion for months. She’s boho chic to the core, and this piece was made for her ethereal, free-spirited energy.The bolo tie is having a major moment right now, and I can’t think of anyone better to show it off. I know she’ll style it in ways I haven’t even thought of yet—layered over flowing dresses or with her favorite vintage blazer.
6. Magdalena with Semi-Precious Lolite Beads for Me
This year, I’m treating myself to something truly special—the Magdalena with semi-precious Lolite beads.
Lolite is known for its shifting shades of violet-blue, a gemstone of the muses that activates the visionary, creative side of the mind. It inspires self-expression through writing, music, movement, and other artistic endeavors.
As someone who lives for creativity, this piece speaks to my soul. It’s a reminder to embrace the inspiration that surrounds me and to trust my inner muse. I can’t wait to wear it—and feel its energy infuse my everyday life with imagination and possibility.
I can’t wait to see my loved ones unwrap their gifts this year. And who knows? Maybe they’ll be just as excited to receive them as I was to choose them.
With Love,
