Is holiday shopping sending you into a tailspin? You need a little inspiration! The Awesome News asked successful, stylish moms to share their go-to gift picks, and what they’ll do to make this holiday season the best yet. This is the final of our gifting series – we hope you take away some fun ideas to make the holidays that little bit easier.
MEET RAJNI JACQUES
Magazine fashion director (and our longtime street-style crush) Rajni Jacques is no stranger to giving of-the-moment trend advice. At home, however, the talented painter and mom of two (Diego, three, and 11-month-old Lucienne) keeps it super-simple in Hanes tees, vintage denim and Nikes or Vans. Plus the odd fabulous pair of heels for a fancy occasion! Throughout her career in both the publishing and advertising worlds, fashion’s biggest names have sought out Rajni’s talents – from Nylon, Glamour, Teen Vogue and Allure to brands like Christian Louboutin, Nike, Coach and Nordstrom.

For Moms
1. Mateo Secret Diamond Initial Ring: It’s simple, but a statement. So why not?!
2. Daily Paper Gowa Hoody and Gifa Pants: Just comfy and cozy. This set is everything.
For Kids
3. FAO Schwarz 3D Spin Art Kit: I love anything that allows my kids to create and be artistic. It’s fun watching them maneuver and get so involved.
4. BeginAgain Animal Parade Puzzle & Play Set: It’s a learning toy made fun.
A LITTLE HOLIDAY Q&A…
What is the best gift you’ve ever received?
Cheesy to say, but Diego and Lucienne.
And what’s on your wish list this year?
A vacation away from everyone. Or a classic tennis bracelet! Or both.
Any holiday traditions you’re looking forward to sharing with your kids?
I want to bake cookies with them the night before to get ready for Santa!
Ultimate five-minute party outfit?
A black slip dress and heels or a to-the-knee boot that’s walkable and sturdy. Easy breezy.

Clean and dewy skin – very bare-faced – with sultry, deep-red lipstick.
