I have my eye on a few bags at Kate Spade. But they also had a great selection of less expensive gifts.
Their signature bracelets are under $50. Their roll-on perfumes are $25–a perfect gift for a teachers or tween.
And mugs and cute thermal mugs for only $18.

Kids’ Clothes
One of my favorite places to shop for my kids is Little Skye. They carry great brands of clothing that are such nice quality. And the styles are different than what you’ll find anywhere else. A few favorites were the aqua faux-suede dress, $50, and the fur vest, $49. They also have a nice selection of toys and books.
