J.Crew Holiday Gifts {what is your fav?}

"Thanks!" to both ColetteNoelle and Ameilia (in this post) who suggested a great post topic: did we receive any J.Crew gifts this holiday? I think this is a great topic! In particular, if you receive J.Crew gifts this holiday, what is your favorite J.Crew gift and why (this way it is both fun and informative). :)

I did receive some J.Crew gifts this year. My absolute favorite gift isn't very exciting though (e.g. not much to review), it is the J.Crew gift card- which will allow me to purchase many goodies in the future (and I am thrilled about that!) :)

My second top gift is the Teagan Ruffle Swiss-Dot Top in ivory (item 99679; was $98.00, now $49.99). What is funny about this top is that I never gave it any thought until I read GigiOfCa's post (click here) with real life images of the blouse. Even though she felt it was not for her, I thought it looked absolutely lovely on her- which made me seek it out! The pros of the top are the ruffles, which are absolutely beautiful (and super-girlie, which I like), and the swiss-dot pattern/fabric. The cons are that the top is boxy (which is clearly visible on the side) and see-through. However, the pros outweigh the cons for me. :)

Did you receive any J.Crew gifts this holiday? If so, what is your favorite J.Crew gift received and why? Would you recommend that fav item for others?
