We're loving these vintage inspired drinking glasses. Each frosted glass represents a state and what's most popular there. Buy a set for yourself of each of your favorite states or do like we did: buy a set for your partner representing all the places you've been together. $12 each. Available at The Nest Egg.

Robert Verdi's Ultimate Father's Day Gift Guide from Robert Verdi on Vimeo.

Still not sure what to get dad for Father's Day? Check out Robert Verdi's picks for dad, along with his hilarious commentary about which celebrity deserves which gift. (You'll crack up over his pick for Matthew McConaughey!)

One of our faves is the HeadBlade Razor and Shave Cream set--the perfect pick for the bald dad. (Full confession: Annie's hubby shaves his head, so she haves a soft spot for the baldies.) That's the Platinum Starter Kit below.

We're also fans of the Snapfish photo books, because they're a thoughtful, personal gift that your dad will cherish for years to come—fill it up with photos of your family vacations. JSG is thrilled to giveaway one $50 gift certificate Snapfish to a lucky reader! To enter, either comment on this post or our Facebook fan page by next Thursday, June 23.

Couture Globes

Turns out Rachel Zoe not only knows fashion, she's got her finger on the pulse of home design, too. Last week, her newsletter turned us on to these ImagineNations Decoupage Art Globes. Like Zoe, we are "beyond obsessed" with the artistic, themed globes. That's "Bon Voyage" above and "Flutter By" below.

The only question is, which one to get? There collection also includes Where the Wild Things Are and Dr. Seuss-inspired globes. We're partial to "Peace".

The globes range in price from $150 to $450 and are available on artonglobes.com.

For your little sister or your car pool mate, the Lip Gloss Trio for $40.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Sephora Favorites Kits

Last year we had a great time with the Sephora Favorites mascara sampler; but this season we're coveting the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip deluxe lip gloss sampler. This set is packed with ten great glosses from Tarte, Smashbox, Lorac, and more. It's a bargain at $40 (a $134 value). The only problem with this gift is giving it away, when there's so much in here we love for ourselves!

Another great set we've got our eyes on is the Glitz and Glam Shimmer and Shine makeup kit. It's full of great products that will amp up your look (or your best friend's) including a few of our faves like the Nars Orgasm Illuminator, Josie Maran's Bronzing Argan Oil, and Tarte's cheek stain in Glam.  The Glitz and Glam is $39 (a $121 value).

If you have a perfume lover in your life, consider the Sephora sample sets of perfume which come with a coupon for a full size perfume of their choice. With ten different perfume samples, their likely to find one they love. Happy shopping!

Holiday Giveaway! Nintendo Wii and Monopoly Streets

We spent hours as kids playing Monopoly with our friends and family. These days you're more likely to see people playing the Wii together. This year Monopoly celebrates its 75th anniversary with the release of Monopoly Streets by EA Sports, a virtual world where you build your empire by the same rules as the original boardgame with the benefit of seeing it all come to life! Our modest gaming advice: buy everything you land on, no matter how small.

We're excited to be giving away two copies of Monopoly Streets and a Nintendo Wii (up to a $300 value) on Twitter. Look to Retweet our giveaway this morning starting at 10:00 a.m.

Monopoly Streets is available on Wii, XBox, and PS3. Visit EA.com to learn more. Monopoly Streets would make a great gift for just about everyone on your Christmas list!

Holiday Gift Ideas: Lancome Juicy Tubes Gift Set

If we were featured on an episode of Hoarders, it would most likely be for our collection of pink lip glosses. This Lancome Juicy Tubes Gift Set, available at Sephora, only feeds into our addiction, with six mini sparkling pink lip glosses, including Butterflies, Sweetheart, Pink Bling, Raspberry Ice, Miracle and Dreamsicle. Hey, at least they're minis!

Holiday Gift Ideas: Warm and Toasty Hats

The temps have been hovering around freezing for a week so there's no wonder we're for surfing for toasty hats that would make excellent presents for our besties. Here our a few of our favorites:

The Sasha hat by Mad Bomber hat may be the warmest of the bunch and is sweet and sexy too with the blue fox lining and the dangling pom poms. At only $36.40, this one's a real bargain!

Ugg Australia's reputation was built on keeping buyers comfy and warm. The Ultra Bucket hat will keep the sleet and snow off her head. $135 at Saks.

For the girl on your list who hates to wear a hat; but tries to protect her ears from the wind: the Wintermallows Headwrap is a good fit. We like the trio of woven flowers. $24 at Anthropologie.

Holiday Gift Ideas: 2 from Louis Vuitton

So what if they're pricey--both of these Louis Vuitton picks are right up JSG's alley. First if the Monogram Map Square which features the playful Tahitienne print created by Marc Jacobs. If we had this 3-foot x 3-foot silk scarf in our life, we would frame it. It's simply to beautiful to wear.

Our second pick is the coffee table book, Louis Vuitton 100 Legendary Trunks. The foreward is by Patrick-Louis Vuitton and it features more than 800 photos and illustrations.

Both are available at Louis Vuitton.com

Holiday Gift Ideas: MAC Tartan Collection

MAC's Tartan Collection is just in time for holiday gift giving. It's inspired by "a slightly twisted Tartan Tale to celebrate holiday, in all its posh, punk, ancestral, anarchic, noble and naughty glory." We love the way this collection marries punk and princess, so that you can change your look depending on your mood. Because we've all got a little of each in us, don't we?

The very wearable sets of glosses are on the top of our list (pictured above for $29.50 for a set of five mini lipglasses). Also include in the collection are eye shadow, lip and face kits, brush sets, and of course individual blush, eye, and lip colors. Available at department stores, MAC stores and online at MacCosmetics.com.

6 Twists of Tartan eye shadow kit is $36 for six cool colors.

A Lady and Her Tricks Buff and Line Brush Collection is $49.50 for five brushes.

Waterproof Playing Cards

Whenever we travel with our friend Heidi, she likes to play Gin Rummy while we're laying out by the pool. These waterproof, see-thru playing cards are made for her. Now if only they could come up with a weighted version so our hands don't tip on windy days!

Available at Vat19.com.

100 Years of Travel Ads

If the Mad Men premiere whetted your appetite for vintage advertising, check out the coffee table book 20th Century Travel: 100 Years Of Globe-Trotting Ads. It's filled with classic ads from the past 100 years when traveling was still glamorous and getting there truly was half the fun.

It make an ideal hostess gift, too, for those of you lucky enough to have snagged invites to a friend's beach house!

Betty White Calendar

We wouldn't mind getting older if it really is as much fun as Betty White makes it look. The young-at-heart actress is starring in her own calendar, complete with hunky, young, shirtless men. Proceeds from the calendar benefit her Morris Animal Foundation. The calendar goes on sale in September. You go, Betty!

Update: The calendar isn't all Betty White has cooking. WWD reported today on Betty White hoodies.

Father's Day Gift Idea: New Kenneth Cole Touch Screen Watch

If your dad is like mine, he has "everything he needs,"  so buying him a gift for Father's Day is a chore.  Even though my dad has a handful of expensive watches, I know he doesn't have anything like the new Kenneth Cole New York Touch Screen Watch.  My dad loves gadgets (he was the first to get a calculator watch, remember those?); and he loves new technology.  He'll appreciate the features like the touch screen, the thirty-two city world time, the luminescent backlight, the stainless steel and water resistant construction, and the durable black rubber strap.

The watches range from $125 to $175 and can be found at Kenneth Cole retail stores, department stores and online at http://www.kennethcole.com/.

Kenneth Cole New York also makes a version in white that I've been test driving this week. I always wear a big face watch so the proportions are just right on this one. The touch screen is fun to mess with; but harder to figure out and the directions aren't very clear. I was able to set the time,but not the hourly chime which goes off all day long. I'm also concerned about the white silicon band which was discolored after day one thanks to my dark wash jeans. Fortunately, a quick brush with a warm wash cloth cleaned it up. This is a great watch for the summer that'll look sharp with anything from sundresses to cut-off shorts.

This review was based on a sample.

Elsa Peretti's Tee Time from Tiffany's

It's pretty hard to top this as a Father's Day gift.  The Elsa Peretti's Tee Time set is a sterling silver tee and a golf ball is covered with 390 pavé diamonds totaling eight carats. The tee and ball come on an artificial square of grass in an oxidized sterling silver tray handcrafted by Tiffany. Even if dad's still mad at you for that time you crashed the car, he'll forgive you when he opens this gift!

Available at Tiffany's.
