Decor to Die For: Great Gifts for Great People!

With the holiday season coming close...OMFG!!!! It's only a couple of weeks away!!!!!!!!!

OK, with the holiday season here...it's time to get some gifts (unless you do it the way it should be done...which is not as fun but feels pretty freaking good...and that is giving out donations to charities on behalf of your friends and family), now instead of not putting any thought into it, or buying gift cards...AGAIN...or regifting,


Which btw is super fun to watch the other persons face when they open the re-gift,

Use our gift guide and your cute lil noggin to really make your recipient feel loved.

Now, because it's decor day, these are gifts for the home. Check back on other days to get other ideas for beauty gifts, fashion and foodie gifts ;)

And away we go...

For the super cute nature loving funky mother f'n people in your life....let them spice up their walls with these suuuuuper rad ceramic deer heads.

See?? Who needs to put up real deer heads on their walls to show their lack of self esteem when you have these! ?

Next up for your uber retro lovin modern friends who have almost everything....what about a vintage-esque clock radio with Ipod adapter? This screams thoughtful!

Um yes please! We will take 2!

If you have to regift that wine that your (hardly thoughtful) friend brought over...then at least regift it with total balls and style....
These cleaver and hilarious Pop Tag wine tags are perf! Plus you can tie them on anything for a lil truthful and cute honesty!

Yummy yummy yummmmmmmm...these Pottery Barn faux fur throws are delish for your digs...
They are absolutely luscious and chic to the 9s. Your friends will run around butt nekkid with these wrapped around them, guaranteed! Hopefully they will send you some pics...or not.

Plus you can save on gift wrap...just fold into a square and tie a beautiful opposing ribbon around it...ie...black thick ribbon on white blanket and white on black.

Tres chic!

For the ultimate in thoughtful gift giving make it uber personalized.

We are craaazy hearting all things silhouette right now and these family silhouette pillows kill us.
Soooo cute right? Le Papier makes pillows for 1, a couple or like this one that shows what happens when a couple likes each other A LOT!

What about that girl/guy that looooves pop art and fun decor but you have no clue what the poop to do? Make them a crazy cool custom neon sign. No one will ever top that or thank you more than the lucky recipient.
P.S. Remember that S&M post? The "swallow" neon that was ridiculous and crazy $$$? Neonsign.com will make that for waaay less moolah.

You're welcome! or should I say thanks!!!

What is a decor post with out mentioning one of the Kings of decor...our true love and BF...Jonathan Adler.

WOW! We suuuuper heart this black "Druggist" Love vase from Mr. Adler-Doonan.

We heart how the sweet and Victorian-esque design is punked up with a matte black finish. Perfection.

How rad is this Fast vase from Rosenthal? Look closely...

It's like the vase was running super fast (maybe away from your friends wrapped in the fur blankie) while it was drying. Great one for the person who loooves fresh flowers. Grab a few black roses throw in this bad boy...tie on a grosgrain ribbon and tada!

For your candle loving friends who already got a candle you found on the candle post... grab them a set of the 7 deadly sins candles from Z Gallerie. They will never buy these for themselves.

Got a few extra $$$ lying around? Buy the OG versions of the 7DS candles from one of our favs DLco. These exquisitely scented votives will smell up your whole casa...

P.S. F the Snuggie and don't you dare buy them another tie...put some heart into it! They are worth it aren't they???

P.P.S. Etsy has suuper cute and unique gifts! OR try local craft fairs...and not the ones your nana goes to...there are cool ones out there...just google it.

xoxo t.w.h.

Decor to Die For: We heart S&M inspired ..

Maybe it's because our BF is gone in a far away land...or maybe it's because deep down we are a little naughty..or maybe it's just because we are bad gals at heart but what ever the reason...

We super heart on a slutty Level...S&M inspired decor!

This is a pic of the cool Hilton sister's, master bedroom! Soooo rad! Maybe a wee bit too themed but that bed is on another level!
Oh and we will lake that bench any day too ;)

Oh, and another thing...you will notice most of the S&M inspired things we heart are black and white...that doesn't mean they only come in b&w...we think it's just because we saw Coco Before Chanel and besides ordering "How To Learn French" cds and wearing only black and white for a week now, we keep picking black and white furniture...sorry...blame Coco.

And away we go...off to naughty naughty land...

The best way to do S&M in your home is by delicately mixing it in with other styles so it's provocative and not, "Oh yes, I did just get home from the fetish ball...why do you ask?"

Hello perfect patent leather chairs. How are you today? Chic? Yes you are...

We love the simplicity of these black glossy chairs we found on 1st Dibs. They are totally understated...well except for the shiny leather :) These could totally go with almost any decor...you just need a set of balls. (Wow! This S&M post is making us feisty!)

OMG...OMG...OMG...This settee makes me feel bad all over!
Glossy white patent leather settee with perfect black piping? Really? Prim and Proper mixed with lust and sex? Wow...perfect combo. Now if only it wasn't more than most peoples rent for a year, we would LOVE to put this in our picture window (super shmancy).

OK...we need to warn you..what you are about to see may cause you to faint or scream out in totally ecstasy like we did...or maybe it was a huge gasp and frantic search on how to get our polished paws on one...
You were warned... NO WORDS...there are none at all except for...how the heck can we get one of these from the Plastic Fantastic collection?!?!?!?!?!

It is a rubber coated settee...yup...rubberized! And the best part? It comes in sooo many bright and glorious colors. Done and done and d-d-d-done!

Now for the piece that was the real inspiration for this post...from the one...the only...our fake BF, Sir Jonathan Adler....

His black patent leather Regent Ottoman coffee table is sooooooo good...soooooo slutty (in the best possible way).
It magically changes an entire room...and takes it from boooorrriiinnngg to Tres Chic!...now if only we didn't have cats that would lurve to claw this up ;(...

Oh..hi...we will totally take that Lust pillow too Mr Adler...thanks!

Not everything S&M inspired have to be patent leather...take this glossy black mirrored table for instance...

And paired with those scandalous (faux) croc chairs? Uh huh... sex at dinner time!

Wowzers! These high wingback chairs are deliciously sinful.

Leave it to our go to store Room Service to create such amazing pieces. These would look amazing on either side of a fireplace or at the ends of a prim and proper table...soooo Alice in Wonderland gone bad...

Want a smaller piece? A more delicate version of the naughty ones above?

Brocade Home's white patent leather tufted cube is great. You can throw it in any room for a little extra oomph.

Not read to GATW (Go All The Way)? This amazing poster is perfection!

It will glam up and sexify even the most prim and proper rooms...

If that poster is not sexy or S&M enough for your innocent little soul...how about this gorgeous photograph from the fashion worlds most naughty and fetish obsessed man, Mr. Helmut Newton (RIP sir...)

The perfection of the beautiful woman with a horse saddle on her back while wearing riding boots is fantastical!

Now for our most favorite piece in the whole entire post and maybe ever...

We would die to have this in our bedroom (OMFG...how SLUTTY!!!!!!)

The girly pink neon spelling such a dirty word is TDF! From Tapp Francke for Voltz Clarke...

Still not ready to take step into the land of titillation? How about this beautiful and sexy Absinthe candle from DL&co?

And that black box holding the stunning apple green candle...yummy.

Or maybe just take a bath with this little guy...he's naughty enough for the whole bathtub...no need for you to even get in!

Cuteness...

Be bold! Let out your inner naughty gal...your fetish loving self...

OK, well how about just your more sexy side...go S&M or go home...;) hee hee

Decor to Die For: Baby come and light my fire...We heart Luxurious Candles

Imagine walking in to a room holding the hand of your beautiful better half, and as they lead you in, the room is warmed up by the gorge and love inducing smell of vanilla and sandalwood. As you open your eyes, your lover is glowing in the beautiful glow of a candle.

Ahhhhh love...sweet and yummy smelling love!

Nothing sets the mood like candles. Whether its on a birthday cake given to you by the unbelievably yummy and exquisite Jake Ryan...Gosh he is sooooo dreamy! Yes Please Jake!..

Hee hee hee..we digress, or around a luxurious bath tub, on a dinner table, or just on a desk...candles are the perfect "feeling" starter.

Once used purely for light, candles now have transformed into "a mood with a wick"

They can make you happy or calm, thoughtful or loving, peaceful or excited...all with the flick of a lighter (or a match for you retro romantic ladies) and nothing helps welcome guests to your home like a few beautiful smelling candles.

A good candle is like a huge hug from a fluffy unicorn...there is nothing like it..you can't walk into a room with a lit candle and not feel good and warm (and we are not talking about the warmth of the fire people!)

We uber heart Luxurious Candles!

There are tons of brands out there but being the crazy obsessed candle lurvers that we are...we narrowed it down to a select few that are amazing, gloriously delish and easy to find ('cuz what's the point of being soooo cool that our gorge readers can't find what we blab about...right?)

Now...in NO particular order...we give to you....Lux Candles!

OK, I know we said NO order...but this first candle maker can be in no other place but first!

Our FBF (Fake Boyfriend) Jonathan Adler makes the coolest candles around.

Not only are his scents amazing and thick with out being too perfume-y but when you are done burning his amazing creations, you have to keep the candle holder because it is actually a piece of his pottery!!!!!!! Really JA? Really??????? An amazing candle and a piece of your work?!?!

Um..YES and PLEASE and THANK YOU!

We super heart his Hashish candle for a couple of reasons (no sillies...not the one you are thinking of...well maybe a little but only because we are hippies at heart)...it smells just like its namesake and burns forever and the rad pottery it comes in becomes a great keepsake jar for your jewels or spices or "products" or other green stuff like money.

Another one of his beautifully scented candles with the fantastical gift of free pottery is his Muse Noir candle.

Its seductively lovely with smells of bergamont, amber and plum...can you say hot love! Fill his popular Muse pot with deep red roses or purple orchids...or what ever your heart desires.

This next LC co. is really the true reason for this post. Have you ever had a candle actually fill a room with gorgeous (non perfumey) smells with out even lighting it? NO? Well now you can get one.

Jo Malone, the guru of amazing scents and scent mixing, has the most TDF candles ever!

Perfectly packaged with clean and sleek packaging, her candles literally can take you to another place with how unbelievable the scents are.

There are no words to describe how amazing they are, how inviting and chic the scents are and how we wish we could buy one every week! (but p.s. her candles are for sure lux candles...not for the recessionista but totally worth the splurge!!!!)

One of the best gifts Miss Me and I were ever given (besides our gorge Hawaiian bracelets) was a huge Jo Malone candle.

Not only does it fill the foyer (super fancy right???) with the most lovely smell when its just sitting there...but once we light it, the whole house is hugged in it!

We heart the grapefruit, which btw, is sooooo not grapefruity. It's less harsh and tart than you can imagine...it's warm, spicy and fluffy and super expensive smelling.

Her orange blossom is another crazy beautiful scent. It too is big and warm with out being over powering.

Speaking of fancy pants and uber luxurious candles, this next company might be the O.G. One whiff of Diptique's beautimously chic candles and you will whip out your credit card faster than ...um....well just fast!

The candle vessel is perfectly Parisian and filled with glorious scents that most candle makers could never repeat...

Their most popular and most beautifully unusual scent is Baies (we can't pronounce it either). It's black currant and Bulgarian Roses...yup..AMAZING!!!

Put this bad boy next to your tub while you are soaking and you will be taken to another...way more shmancier place.

Diptique's perfectly perfect Tuberose candle is just that...perfection!

It's soft and elegant and never over powering.

Oh um hi...Mr John Galliano has his own scent with them (we hope it doesn't smell like how he looks...like a French pirate...but if it does, I'm sure it's still great)

Need a great gift for your friend that has everything and every candle ever?

DL & co create masterpieces.

Their candles are part Gothic, part romantic and every bit luxurious. They fill a room with soft, masculine yet oddly feminine smells.

Yes they are crazy expensive but the stunning black box they come in is just as gorge as the rich and exotic candle.

We love the Angels Trumpet! It's both sweet and earthy while remaining totally lux and elegant.

Speaking of gifts...Voluspa should win the best gift award hands down!

Not only are they an absolute amazing gift to get they are a spectacular gift to give.

They are super lux and beautifully scented but totally affordable.

They burn for hours and hours while delicately filling your room with yummy scents.

We heart every single smell they make!

Our new fav is the clove. It's a bit warm for the hot days o' summer but as soon as the heat drops, their clove is on another level!

Need a great gift that can not be out done? Their gift sets are perfection.

We love this pretty glass votive set. Imagine throwing a party and scattering these fantastically scented and fun colored candles all over the place....super festive and totally shmancy.

Archipelago candles are the winners hands down for the all inclusive candle.

They smell unbelievably rich, they burn perfectly, they fill a room with luxuriousness even when not lit and they don't cost more than a mani pedi!

Their candles are sooooo great...I worked at a upscale restaurant where the dinners cost as much as a car payment and the customers loved Archipelago candles soooo much, they would literally steal them from the bathroom!!!!!!

We suuuper heart the Magnolia for the summer and the Caramel for the winter.

Get them here...at the mecca of candle stores. Actually you can probably get any lux candle known to man there.

Are you or do you know a fancy pants, lux lovin', Hippie or just someone who hearts candles and the Earth?

Need a candle that is Organic, Soy, Earth Friendly and 100% recyclable???

Dirt is the place to go. Their clean burning candles are super fun to burn (60 hours!!!) and the scents are amazing!

Our favs are Love Machine and All Nighter. Both are gorgeously scented with a huge mix of Earths delights. They are perfectly balanced and totally a must have for any candle lover.

Oh...hello? Earth Lovers??? When you are done using this loooong burning lux candle, you can wash the glass holder and it becomes a drinking glass!!!!

Lovelies...take a moment...burn a nice candle and remember how much you deserve it! There is nothing better for you like that luxuriously peaceful moment.

P.S. Don't forget to blow out candles when you leave a room!

P.P.S. We promise...even if you don't think you are into candles...light one. You will be surprised...and at peace ;)

P.P.P.S. The lovelies here at t.w.h. luuurrrvvveee nice candles...just sayin'
