My first book, The Pretty and Proper Living Room, now in its second printing, will be HALF PRICE for today and tomorrow, November 18th and 19th! (Retail $55, sale $28) I wrote this book for my daughter, Alexandra, when she first married. She asked me how to decorate her first “big girl house” to look like the house she grew up in, and requested that I include the Forbidden Faux Pas too!
Holly-Jolly Christmas Days! With a name like Holly, you can understand how much I adore this magical time of year. 'Tis the season of giving. Many of you have asked me to share some of my go-to gift items… so Ho-Ho-Ho, let’s go!
🎄Holly’s Gifts 2024 🎄
(Presents for both naughty and nice!)
1. A set of four Sterling Silver Studs are handsomely detailed with an enameled design and made in England. Their price point makes them perfect for traveling over “Hill and Dale” to a Black tie event anywhere in the world!
2. A pair of classic Fox Head men's slippers (a staple at Fox Hall!) are comfy for lounging and stunningly attractive. They would be perfect for twirling around the Christmas tree and kissing under the mistletoe.
3. This dapper Nickle Fox Head Umbrella will be a well-appointed accessory for your sleigh, ready to fend off rain or snow elegantly. It will also be a smashing addition to a front-door umbrella stand.
4. Here is a clever “town & country” accessory- a pair of Sterling Silver and Enamel Fox Head Cufflinks. They give a quiet, yet sensibly sly, nod to England, even though they are handmade in Italy!
5. I inherited Mummy’s gold Christmas Tree, just like this one. It is, without a doubt, my most favorite Christmas decoration. Once it is on our coffee table on December first, I almost hear the angels singing! It is such a lovely gift for someone who has everything.
6. Happy tulips! A set of pink round tablemats and coasters say “Happy Spring” all year long! I adore these because I can quickly set the table, wipe them off as needed (as in when the grandchildren visit!), and also feel that I am in an English country house, even in Palm Beach. They are a timeless classic for your table any time of day.
7. For that “special” son or son-in-law, this set of Mother of Pearl and Sapphire Studs will be a handsomely festive gift that will last a lifetime.
8. I adore Weezie Towels! Their Bow Towel is perfect for a powder room, as well as the kitchen. They are soft and beautifully appointed with various monogram styles, including applique, and feature a sweet edging to complement your color scheme. My video about “whose initials go first for a married couple’s monogram” for their Master Bedroom and Bathroom towels is on Instagram.

9. This enchanting hat, by designer Leslie Dasch’s fabulous brand, “Dress for Cocktails,”features a stylish array of preppy-colored bows that can be magnetically interchanged to complement any outfit. I adore her hats in Palm Beach and in New England. When Leslie created a “Holly Holden Bow” in my signature pink edged in green, I was tickled pink! If you order her hat with a Holly Bow, you will also receive a free additional bow in the color of your choice too! A ribbon inside the hat adjusts the size, allowing it to fit anyone properly. Use code: HOLLYHOLIDAY when ordering from their website.
