Merci Picks: Chic, Buy Now Gifts at Henri Bendel

Full disclosure: I'm not the biggest fan of holiday gift guides. It's not that I don't love looking at all the gorgeous goodies and crafty treats, it's just that I'm a self-admitted last minute shopper and gift guides require planning.
A proactive purchase on Cyber Monday just isn't in my M.O. Nor is tracking down UPS after they've left 500 sticky notes at my non-doorman building. Like it or not, I am a face-the-crowds-in-the-11th-hour kind of NYC Christmas shopper...
1. Gold Goddess Tote, $198 2. Miss Bendel Travel Ballet Flats, $98 3. Go To The Beach Travel Set, $48 4. West 57th Haircalf iPad Sleeve, $98 5. Eau De Parfum Purse Sets, $58 6. Deluxe Hand Me Down Stack Ring, $118 7. Car Wash Necklace, $178 8. Suped Up Debutante Asymmetric Clutch, $278
So this morning, when I found myself dropping bows against throngs of tourists at Henri Bendel {for a gift to be given tonight no less}, I thought of my lovely Merci readers. Surely someone out there is like me? Surely someone is reading this blog while at the office, scrambling to finish the work week, yet empty handed for tonight's holiday party? Well, if you're half as mad as I am, here's a little stylist-curated guide of chic, thoughtful and all-out adorable gifts that are still on the shelves of Henri Bendel's flagship on Fifth Avenue. Happy my-kind-of-chic-Christmas shopping!
