A great company that caters to holiday wishes—if not givers checkbooks—is COACH. This is the second edition of my By Designer Stocking Stuffers.

First of all, Coach has great key fobs that could adorn another present, be tucked in a stocking, or be presented tied on a gift wrap’s ribbon or string! What better than the Present Keyfob (only $48), itself? They also have the seasonal-appropriate, Snowflake Keyfob ($52), each flake is unique! For the handbag lover, there is something inexpensive, yet still designer, the Gallery Tote Keyfob ($48), in purple and red (unavailable in red online).

Also: Charms! ($28)

I’d die over the pink trimmed, Mini Signature iPod Case (for the regular iPod) ($88). Best for the mini is the shiny, Multi-Striped iPod Mini Case ($78) (I love it in Pink, natch). They have so many more to check out, too. On a similar tune, Coach finally has a cell phone case! The Signature Universal Case ($88)

The perfect general gift for big COACH Signature fans is the combination of the Merino Signature Skinny Scarf ($98) and Merino Signature Hat ($68), both come in soft merino wool of various color choices.

Who says diamonds are a girl’s best friend—we know handbags are! But, they do make quite the sophisticated duo when paired in the Links of London Diamond Handbag Charm.

Whether you have a handbag lover on your Christmas list or you just want to put a little something in your own stocking, this is the perfect gift when you’re not quite sure what handbag she might want. Attach it to a charm bracelet, wear it on an elegant gold chain or even hang it from a favorite purse as a handbag charm—endless possibilities! It’s 18K gold with a diamond accent (0.01 total carat weight) and it sells for $440.

If you’re more a fan of sterling silver, check out this charm for $70.

We all want some designer for Christmas, but families may not want to dish out the dough for a whole handbag. So I’m going to scour the Internet for deals–and maybe not so-much deals–on little designer stocking stuffers. Go ahead, add them to your list!

First up had to be Gucci, in favor of their partnering with Unicef (to benefit children affected by HIV/AIDS) and creating a handbag… tree… ornament! Divine! They even have other ornaments, like this Bear embossed with the GG pattern (both $115).

I can’t believe how much they have! Let’s just list, due to the over of whelms!

1. iPod and iPod mini cases! (from $195) — iPod Shuffle Cases ($145)
2. Cell phone case! ($275)
3. Blackberry Case ($140)
4. Horsebit Valet Key Ring ($120) (look familiar?)
5. Small Pink Signature Leather Agenda ($340)

Gucci even has something to put these items in, a Signature Web Stocking ($230)! Couldn’t you fall over?!

I am often a public transportation passenger. And I am driven nuts by the separate sets of change and everything I may need—which all is required to be in my hand in a second, as the bus pulls up. Pocketed change doesn’t make me feel cool, and change in any wallet is hard to count up into the right amount in a short time. I need at least a double-compartment coin purse—or a full wallet with all the pockets needed for transportation passes!

Urban Outfitters Buckle Coin Purse is a great little wallet for the occasion. Any girl could use it every day to fit large and small bills, IDs and passes, change, receipts, and lip glosses ALL separate! Transit travelers can fit passes, tokens, and separated amounts of change. Plus, one can still fit some cash and makeup needed for those little trips, for you might have a large work tote and a wallet to store those necessities to switch between different use bags. For $12 and in stylish bronze or teal, it’s cheap and chic, to boot.

The holiday season brings up family parties and evening events. A small, flashy bag is called for, and metallics are perfectly festive. Also perfect? The prices of - even designer - wristlets. You may be a queen of the night, but if not, you will need your occasion bags to not outcost their wearability.

COACH carries wristlets for all upcoming festivities: Family gatherings, New Years Eve Galas, evening the Thanksgiving Weekend Reunion!

Check out these styles:

Clockwise: Metallic Pleated Wristlet ($118), Optic Signature Lurex Pleated Wristlet ($98), Signature Beaded Wristlet ($88), Hamptons Signature Python Stripe Wristlet ($148).

These are so lovely, you’ll be torn between carrying yours and hanging it on your holiday tree!

After the too-expensive-even-in-my-dreams handbag I featured last week in the “12 Handbags of Christmas,” I made it my goal this week to feature more affordable picks. We can dream, but unfortunately, sometimes, we need to think about our budgets. So, my fourth pick is the Vegas Long Wallet by Bebe for only $54!

Available in silver or gold, it has gathers and a sequin panel down the center. Now, you need to be careful when purchasing a handbag with sequins as this is an embellishment that if done incorrectly can go too far and end up looking like one of Elvis’s overdone jumpsuits. Fortunately, Bebe has done sequins justice on this wallet. It has quite a few features too, which include 12 card slots, inner and outer zippered pockets, snap closure and a checkbook slot and the size (3.5″ x 7.5″) is perfect for a party.

Also, be sure to check out the matching coin purse for only $29!

“I’m dreaming tonight about a handbag I want …” Christmas is the season for dreaming and wishing, and that’s exactly what most girls who want this handbag will have to be content with. Dreamin’ and wishin’ about it because the Chloé Beaded Small Bracelet Bag, the third bag to be spotlighted in the “12 Handbags of Christmas,” is priced at $1140! I suppose the elaborate beading and gold hardware, along with the craftsmanship and design, has a large part in that price tag, but still, $1140 is a lot of money.

Regardless of price, I chose this handbag (7.5″ x 9″ x 3″) to highlight because it’s fun and is a unique design. Made from garnet red satin, it was inspired by one of designer Phoebe Philo’s bracelets. I love when designers combine jewelry elements into their purses. Plus, the red round beads remind me of Christmas ornaments. Can’t you just see them on the tree?!

Now, after spotlighting this high-priced item, I feel the need to choose more affordable handbags next week. So, I’m off to window shop …

The second handbag to be highlighted in my “12 Handbags of Christmas” (refer to the first post for more info.) is the Michael Kors Malibu Mini Demi Bag. I love this bag because it’s PERFECT for the holidays! The shape, the fabric, the colors, the clasp, the strap—you get the picture. Size-wise (4.5″ x 6.5″ x 1.5″), it will fit the bare necessities for holiday events—cash and lip gloss. You’re not going to be lugging around a large bag at a party trying to carry everything you would on an average day, so the size is great!

The chain strap is also adjustable, which means you don’t have to suffer with a strap that’s too long all night, which can get very annoying. Made from leather fabric, it’s availabe in three holiday colors (bronze, metallic silver and metallic pink). I would go with the bronze—I think it looks classy. The finishing touch is an adorable clasp closure that is like a little coin purse. Can’t you just see this with a great full skirt?! Oh, I almost forgot—it sells for $98. Much less than the first bag I picked to be highlighted.

A wallet is a crucial aspect of the handbag industry that sometimes gets overlooked. Yes, I’ll admit I do have more handbags than wallets, but I think it’s essential that every handbag-loving girl needs at least one great wallet that can be interchanged between purses. Who wants to have a fabulous bag only to open it and pull your money out of a less than desirable wallet! I know I don’t, but I do tend to be a tad obsessive about having organization inside my purses.

Coach always has great wallets, and after taking a recent look, the Soho Leather Slim Envelope Wallet (3 7/8″ x 7 5/8″) is my pick. It’s made of lightweight leather with a fabric lining and comes in a choice of colors (black, mahogany or white). I love the white! There are 10 credit-card slots, 2 additional interior pockets, a double billfold, an interior zippered coin compartment, an outer pocket and a magnetic snap buckle closure—all this for $208.

And don’t despair if you can’t spend $208 for the Coach wallet. Nine West has a similar wallet for only $34. The Glazed Indexer (3.5″ x 5″) has 12 card slots, a double billfold, an exterior coin pocket, along with a buckle clasp. Colors available include classic black, blue, moss green and nut brown. Sure, it might not have as many details as the Coach, but you’ll still look great paying for your next purchase!
