Happy holidays! Black Friday is right around the corner and you’re likely already shopping for gifts. Last week I popped by one of my favorite shopping centers in South Florida, the Palm Beach Outlets. With an impressive store directory, it’s one of the best places to find gifts for everyone on your list, including mom and dad, brothers and sisters, your significant other, friends and the kiddos! A few of the stores on my must-visit list are Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren and Ulta. In today’s post, I’m rounding up my picks from each spot as an official holiday gift guide for Palm Beach Outlets.
Holiday Gift Guide for Palm Beach Outlets
You’ve probably seen the meme’s about supply chain issues this holiday season. But, you’d never know that’s a concern when shopping at the Palm Beach Outlets. They’ve done an incredible job stocking the shelves at their stores with a range of sizes, colors and options when it comes to inventory. Nevertheless, you should try to do your shopping as early as possible this year to avoid any challenges getting the gifts you want!
Best Gift Ideas from Palm Beach Outlets
There are so many amazing stores at the Outlets that you’ll want to peek at the store directory before you go! You may remember that I shared some other favorites in this post a few years back. Another pro tip: I would advise you get there when they open, as it’s less crowded and far easier to zip between stores. Below are my top store picks for each person you might be buying for:
Mens Gift Guide
Polo Ralph Lauren (I get all Matt’s gifts here) and Nike Factory Store (such a great selection right now!)
Womens Gift Guide
Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Ulta (for your beauty lovers)
Kids Gift Guide
Polo Ralph Lauren
Polo Ralph Lauren
I’ve shared my love for this outlet store in the past and nothing has changed! The Polo Ralph Lauren store is my top pick for men’s gifts. Their wall of polo shirts has nearly every option available, from bright, primary colors to muted, more neutral picks.
- Classic polo shirts – Matt wears these most days for work and they always look pulled together and professional. Every man needs at least a few of these in their closet!
- Classic round neck t-shirts – another staple item, these shirts are beyond soft and are great for hanging at the house, running errands or a casual meal out.
- Sweatshirts – I’m torn on whether I like the hoodie pictured above the most or if it’s the white sweatshirt with the classic Ralph Lauren logo. But, both would make cozy gifts for your dad, husband or brother.
Aside from gifts for him, their children’s selection is on point! From metallic puffer jackets for girls (shown above) to khaki pants and classic sweaters for boys, your kids will be dressed in style. They even have striped and floral onesies for babies!
Kate Spade
Your next stop at the Outlets should be to the Kate Spade store. For under $100, you can score the most stunning handbags for your mom, sister or friend! A few years ago my mom bought a pebbled leather backpack from the store that she still wears nearly everyday. Below are my gift guide picks for your mother, sister or friends:
- Belt bags – of course, they have every handbag style under the sun, but belt bags are still trending! I love the pink one from the video below and it’s under $100!
- Faux fur-trimmed coat – I absolutely love this coat as a gift idea! For years I wore one that was nearly identical. Being wool, it’s a classic style. But, the faux fur makes it fun too! It comes in camel and black.
- Crocodile heels – over the years I’ve had several pairs of Kate Spade heels and the comfort is next level! I love the crocodile print on these and the block heel makes them very walkable.
Another great gift idea is the gold jewelry at the Kate Spade store. The price range for earrings or bangles is great for a white elephant gift exchange.
Ulta Beauty
For the makeup and skincare guru in your life you’ll want to head over to the Ulta Beauty store at the Palm Beach Outlets. Ulta Beauty is one of my go-to shops because they carry great brands like Tarte Cosmetics, IT Cosmetics, Drunk Elephant, and more. At the front of the store and throughout the aisles they’ve carefully curated their gift sets that offer a ton of value! Below are my gift guide picks:
- Drunk Elephant gift set – for under $50, you get a chance to try their jelly cleanser, hydrating serum and face cream.
- Eva NYC Mane Magic Shampoo and Conditioner – it may seem silly to gift shampoo and conditioner, but the scent of this brand is heavenly!
- IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara – need stocking stuffer ideas? Grab a mascara! The Superhero mascara is a new favorite for me. It grabs every little lash and lengthens like crazy.
- Tarte lipgloss – the colors in the Maneater collection are incredible! Think lots of pinks, nudes and berry colors with a hint of sparkle. I love the idea of throwing one of these in every female family member’s stockings!
- T3 styling tools – I swear by my T3 Cura hair dryer and my interchangeable curling wand. These products will be 25% OFF during the Black Friday sales at the store.
From bath and body products to hair styling tools and makeup, you name it – Ulta Beauty has it and at a price point you want it.
Nike Factory Store
From there, head over to the Nike Factory Store. If you’re here just for gifts for him, steer clear of the very cute women’s section. Who am I kidding?! You can’t pass that up! Be sure to grab a little something for yourself as well. But, back to gifts for him. Below are my gift guide favorites from Nike:
- Dry fit shirts – every year I grab my dad a new dry fit shirt that he can wear for playing tennis and the store has some great options this year!
- New sneakers – the shoe department takes over the whole back third of the store and they are stacked with all the latest styles. There are lots of styles under $100, with many in the $70-80 range.
- Joggers – many of us are still working from home and living in loungewear. Grab a pair of soft, joggers that let him be casual, but comfy too.
Michael Kors
One of the newer stores at the shopping center, the Michael Kors Outlet is your last stop of the day. Beware! Everything is very chic and you’ll find yourself oogling the shearling-lined booties, leather jackets and more. While it’s hard to narrow down my gift guide picks, I’ll give it a try:
- Logo monogrammed combat boots – pictured above, these boots are the picture of fall and winter perfection. They run true to size and the brown and black colorway will go with everything! I love the buckle detail.
- Tote bags – a Michael Kors tote is a classic piece you’ll use day in and day out. I like the camel and brown tones, but colors are fun for Spring!
- Small leather accessories – when it comes to affordable gifts, small leather accessories are your go-to. This category primarily means small clutches or wallets.
The best part of shopping at the Palm Beach Outlets is their range of stores. While I’ve named my favorites here, there are so many other fabulous retailers like Stuart Weitzman, Janie and Jack, Le Creuset, Saks Off 5th and more. Hopefully these gift guides have been helpful! Enjoy the holidays.
