  9. Not My Circus Needlepoint Pillow: ($108) This pillow has been at the top of my personal wishlist for AGES! This darling needlepoint pillow adds just the right amount of cheekiness to any room. “Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys” is a Polish proverb and way of saying “don’t drag me into the drama - I’m not getting involved!” Let this pillow speak for itself, as every polished lady knows to avoid gossip and drama!

  10. Dior Nail Glow Nail Enhancer ($28): A personal favorite of mine, this unique nail lacquer is designed to enhance the color of your natural nails and flatter every skin tone. This is a must-have for every woman who loves to keep a polished appearance.
