All three of my sister-in-laws (and my mother) celebrated their birthdays in August. They are some of my favorite people to shop for. Here are a few gifts worthy of a special sister-in-law or dear friend...

A canvas tote from My Other Bag. I love mine (pictured below) and have both the classic and carry-all sizes.

Or a beautiful leather one from Cuyana whose motto is "fewer, better things." Can't argue with that.

A universally flattering lip sheer from Beautycounter in Nude or Twig. I'm personally sort of obsessed with their whole line of non-toxic but high performing products.

A good cookbook.

A wallet clutch from Clare V.

Or this military jacket (another gem from the Uniqlo + IDLF collaboration).
