This past week I took a quick break from my typical mama duties and headed into Manhattan for a much needed girls night out. I grabbed my sisters and friends and headed to a beautiful holiday event hosted by Babbleboxx. It was a night filled with great cocktails, tasty bites, and lots of great inspiration for holiday gifting.  

The event space was gorgeous, located at the luxurious 404 NYC- all decked out in beautiful winter white holiday decor from Christmas Central.  

We perused all the different pop-up shops and their holiday wares- including shoes and accessories from Badley Mishka, lip gloss from MatchxColourPop, sneaks from Earth Shoes and yummy bath-time essentials from Sabon NYC. We treated ourselves to new beauty regimens from Algenist, found new favorite scents from Perfumania, and even had our lips read by a claravoyant thanks to Match; all while sipping my new favorite Cinzano champagne.  

It was a beautiful night that left us filled with gift-giving inspiration for all the family and friends on our lists.  

Here are few snaps of our night, and some of my very favorite gift ideas from the event:

Grande Lash

I just loved all the products from Grande Cosmetics, including this GrandeLash Lash Enhancing Serum and GrandeBrow Brow Enhancing Serum. At under $70 a piece, both make for great stocking stuffers or Secret Santa gifts, for the makeup lover in your midst. 

Tea Forte

Tea, anyone? I've been a lover of Tea Forte for some time now, and their holiday flavors and gift sets do not disappoint. Winter Chai and Ginger Snap are my personal seasonal favorites. Find you own favorites here. 

Algenist

I had never heard of Algenist before this event, but it quickly became a fast favorite. Their vegan, plant-based  liquid collagen works like a dream and helps restore your skin's bounce in just ten days; and their bottle of  luminizing drops is my new go-to highlighter that basically pulls your look together in a pinch.

Perfumania

We had a blast at Perfumania- trying amazing new scents for both men and women. I fell in love with Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent for her,  and Black Bold by Kenneth Cole for him. And, if I'm being honest, I didn't totally hate Rosé Rush by Paris Hilton. Who knew? Find your scent here.

Splash

Oh. My. Gosh. Have you heard of Splash? All I can say is "slam dunk." These low-calorie, all-natural cocktail mixers make one hell of a guilt-free drink. We fell instantly in love with their Margarita and Moscow Mules. I'll be stocking up here for the holiday season. 

23 and Me

I've always been super intrigued by these genetic testing kits, and I was so impressed by how quick, easy and user friendly 23 and Me's service is.
