SPLURGE: Sandy Hoof Seagull Necklace: about $75

In the midst of shopping for everyone else this week, pick up a little treat for yourself. After weeks of dealing with crowds, crazies, and crankypants, you deserve something pretty. I know I do. Sandy Hoof jewelry is a beautiful marriage of natural elements (the designer handpicks the seashells from her hometown in North Carolina) and modern design (she also handpicks the golden charms from her favorite merchant in NYC.) If you can’t find exactly what you want on the site, email her and she’ll create something fabulous just for you. Wear it like a medal to remind yourself how you’ve made it through another holiday season.

*Full disclosure: the designer is my friend. And she’s so much cooler than me.
