gift-giving season is in full swing. so is winter in boston. get all warm and fuzzy, glam it up and eat your heart out with these december picks:
 squeaky clean.
oil usually gets a bad rep, but the shu uemura skin purifier
cleansing beauty oil premium a/o ($32) is one of the good guys. it packs a one-two punch: an anti-aging cleanser and makeup remover loaded with antioxidants. oil has cleaned up its act. 130
newbury street. between clarendon and dartmouth. 617.247.3500.

 mirror image.
if you're fleeing the cold for a holiday getaway (lucky you), pack a pair of the jimmy
choo mirrored gold leather lance sandals ($645). with an impossibly high heel and ankle strap, they're the best part of the recently released cruise collection. now who's the fairest of them all? 100
huntington avenue. at ring. 617.927.9570.

 all wrapped up.
cozy up to the luxe, plush cashmere blanket from calypso
by christiane celle ($250). why? because boston is bone-chilling in december. and cashmere is even better than a boyfriend on a cold night. this lightweight little number has its own silk-lined drawstring travel bag to boot. available
at calypso. 114 newbury street. near clarendon. 617.421.1887.

 pencil it in.
write (and re-write) your holiday wish list with a no.111 graf
von faber-castell pencil with silver-plated end piece ($100 for 12). or you could quit being a scrooge and buy a wooden case-full for the artist on your list. available
at bromfield pen shop. 5 bromfield street. at washington. 617.482.9053.

 star treatment.
get prepped for strapless holiday dresses with a four-hour luxe
beautique red carpet treatment ($400). get sloughed, smoothed and shining with a facial, massage, tan and make-up app. we can't promise you'll hit any red carpets, but you'll sure be ready for them. 222
humphrey street. at blaney circle. 781.598.1777.

 jack in the bag.
for the man who's not afraid to accessorize, visit jack
spade for well-made wallets and work bags. the tiny 300-square-foot store opened its doors below kate's newbury boutique in mid-nov, but it's the first of its kind outside NYC. we swear, size doesn't matter. 117
newbury street. near clarendon. 617.262.2632.

 ladies who brunch.
the oak room becomes a catwalk this month with a fashion show brunch by the fairmont copley's in-house designer, denise
hajjar. scope the winter collection while scoffing a kobe burger or lobster roll. it's food and fashion à la carte. december
9. 138 st. james avenue. at trinity place. 617.927.5990.
