I was lucky enough to attend Robert Verdi‘s fabulous holiday tweet-up this year, where bloggers and editors were privy to fabulous gift selections curated by Robert himself. Here, my favorites of the night, complete with Robert’s suggested recipients and a quote from him at a range of prices. 

For The Furry Little Critter
“Any accessory can make your dog look good, these coats make sure your dog looks fabulous!”

The FabDog rain coat retails for $32 at fabdog.com.

For The Hip Hostess
“These 100% cotton hand towels, featuring hand silk screened designs by Thomas Paul are soft to the touch and the perfect addition to any bathroom or kitchen.” I’m partial to the elephant print. 

Hand towels retail for $22 each at shopthomaspaul.com.

For The Jet Setter
“Any guy or girl on the go will appreciate the patented portable shelving system. This runway-ready gear is great for weekend getaways.” This is GENIUS. I wish it had wheels, but it’s perfect if you aren’t an overpacker, like moi. 

Rise & Hang portable shelving system duffel bag retails for $125 at riseandhang.com. 

For The Do-it-all Mom
“Mom will escape into a great new book and get away from her hectic life with a delicious cup of therapeutic tea.”

The glitter clutch from Lauren Merkin will add glamour to your gal’s outfit in a flash. Fill it up with lipstick for touchups on the go. 

CoverGirl Blast FlipStick Duo retails for $5.49 each and Lauren Merkin “Eve” clutch retails for $180 at laurenmerkin.com.

The Gadget Guru

For The High-tech Tween
“Every 21st century tween needs techni-colored tech accessories and this keyboard rolls and stores in any bag.” I’m a fan of the green.

For the Fit, Fun Family
“The Xbox 360 was built for bringing modern families together. Whether you’re watching movies, listening to music, or playing awesome games like Dance Central, enjoy the time you’ll spend with your loved ones.” Working out is much more fun when you can combine video games for the real 13 year-old boy experience.
