Day Three of Garden of Glam’s Holiday Gift Guide featuring Cheralee Lyle of Miss Lyle Style

Cheralee is the fabulous blogger behind Miss Lyle Style, a blog the chronicles the life and style of a South African beauty who has been transplanted to the US, specifically DC, although there is a lot of NY love represented on Miss Lyle Style.  Cheralee is wonderfully adventurous with her style and an incredibly genuine lady.  And her eclectic style is perfectly represented in her wish and give list this year.

Day Two of Garden of Glam’s Holiday Gift Guide featuring Ryan Payne of Bang Salon

Today’s guest gift giver is Ryan Payne, my incredible hair stylist who is stationed at Bang Metropole.  Ryan participated in last year’s gift guide and did a “how to 1920’s wave” hair tutorial with me for the Inauguration.  Ryan is basically the hair whisperer and is able to work his magic on my untamable locks.  He also coached me through chopping off my hair and I never would have trusted anyone else to do it.  I was obsessed with Ryan’s incredibly thoughtful give and wish list last year and this year is no exception!

RYAN’S WISH LIST

Jawbone UP24 (get it here)

“The Jawbone Up24 is perfect for someone who wants to get into shape and needs a little motivation.  Also keeps track of your progress and you can check on your friends progress from an app you download on your smart phone.  No one would guess it’s a fitness bracelet because of its stylish appearance.” – Ryan

1 Face Watch (get it here)

“The 1 Face Watch is a watch which supports other good causes with every purchase.  With ever purchase you could help stop hunger, provide cancer or aids treatments, or even water or education for someone.  It’s a wonderful gift for anyone and it keeps on giving.”  – Ryan

RYAN’S GIVE LIST

Jambox (get it here)

“The Jambox by Jawbone is a wireless speaker which is controlled by your smart phone using bluetooth.  Great for anyone who likes to listen to quality sound music or throw a house party.  It gives out the best sound I have ever heard from a portable speaker and I know this because I also own one.  They have a ton of colors and textures to choose from or you can customize your own.” – Ryan

Big Green Eggs (get it here)

“Don’t be fooled by the name, The Big Green Egg is an all in one outdoor cooker which can be used to grill, as an oven, or better yet as a smoker.  The website has a lot of recipes you can try or just do your own experiments.  I heard about this item through a client who raved about it.  Perfect for that man in the house who likes to grill out watching a football game or anyone who wants to take part in Sunday fun day.” – Ryan

Cloud Camera (get it here)

“The D-link Cloud camera 1150 is a wireless security camera with night vision and motion detection.  This camera can be viewed and controlled using an app you can download onto your smart phone.  This is perfect for watching that new nanny or even watching your pup to make sure she’s on your nice list and not your naughty list.” – Ryan
