Steal Magnolia Blvd.

With the holidays hastily closing in, finding the right gifts can be ever so tricky.  You know what it feels like to get that annoying present that you will never use, and ends up being shoved in a drawer to be re-gifted for next season.  Don’t make yourself that person, or you’ll never be invited to another Christmas event again! 

Audrey K, a small store tucked away in the heart of Burbank, aka: the vintage capital of the world, has been working vigorously the last several months to incorporate a home and gifts section to her already eclectic yet retro boutique.  Owner Audrey, has curated a mix of clothing, accessories, gifts and home accents to create a compendium of amazing finds that she not only buys for her store but also owns, uses, or wears in her day to day life.

Like walking into a mini Anthropologie, Audrey’s tres chic shop, is filled with an array of vintage inspired trinkets, feminine dresses and aprons that should only be worn with stilettos. Not to mention the wall of quirky and poignant gifts that are both affordable and always intended to delight. While Oprah and Gayle have their favorite picks, Audrey has her own favorite products that she recommends for all the ladies (and some gents) on your gift list this year, including yourself.

Here’s a list of 16 of Audrey’s favorite things in the store, half of which are only under $15!
