Presenting Nicole's

Family secrets are revealed. Work projects come to a stand still. Fattening baked goods are everywhere you look. The holidays can be a frustrating time, especially for those who prefer to follow their routine. Brainstorming gift ideas is just another time sucking task, not to mention the poor industry assistants all over Hollywood who must purchase and ensure prompt delivery of gifts for countless important clients. Well, Nicole’s Beverly Hills (with close proximity to the big agencies of course) offers a less time consuming solution. Just pop by the store, check out owner Nicole Simpson’s selection which she’ll happily describe with her lovely Trinidadian accent, hand her the list and tell her price range, plus any likes, dislikes and other significant details (i.e. Sally is pregnant, so don’t send her liquor). In moments she’ll be picking thoughtful gifts, wrapping and sending them out, while you get back to your scheduled programming. Clients can also just call the store, if coming in is too much of a hassle, although it hasn’t been too much for the likes of Joss Stone and Ziggy Marley. Nicole offers gifts for all types of people and ladies may gravitate to her lavender lined pillowcases. But her Men’s and Corporate selection is most standout, including finds like Zen for Men scented candles, vintage-style flip-top business card holders, and luxe leather cigar cases, all of which can be included in theme baskets as well. So you can give yourself the greatest gift of all: less stress and free time. $25 per gift and up, Nicole’s Beverly Hills, 156 S. Beverly Dr., (310) 288-0411, gifts4allevents.com
