Who better to solicit for holiday gift guides than interior designers – people who are paid for their good taste? Melissa Woody has been featured here on the blog before and was a natural choice! Melissa’s newly opened Lamp Shoppe on Dragon Street is getting a lot of buzz and keeping her busy, but she was sweet enough to take the time to put together a handful of wonderful gift selections!
On her favorite part of the holidays, Melissa says, “My favorite thing is having my kids come home from college and bring all their animals! We eat, drink and have the best of times with family and friends!”
We wish you, your kids and their pets a very Merry Christmas Melissa! Now on to the gift guide…

Melissa Woody’s Holiday Gift Guide:
1. Homemade English Toffee
When the kids come home from college it wouldn’t be the same without my homemade english toffee. I usually start making batches right after Thanksgiving. It makes for a great gift too!
2. Winter Berry Christmas Candle // Williams-Sonoma
It smells just like Christmas! Build a fire in the fireplace, light your candles, and pour a glass of wine. It doesn’t hurt that the candles are also monogrammed!
3. Socialite Dog Collar // Dublin Dog
I can’t forget about all of my 4 – legged friends! Dublin dog company has a large wonderful selection of collars, toys and accessories, believe it or not…My dogs know when it’s Christmas and get excited for their gifts!
4. Oval Turquoise Post Earrings // Neiman Marcus
Choose a special little bauble from the 2nd floor jewelry section at Neiman Marcus Northpark. Girls can always use another pair of earrings!
5. Custom Lamp or Gift Certificate // The Lampe Shoppe
A custom lamp or gift certificate from The Lamp Shoppe sure goes a long way for those that love design!
