From To Do’s to Ta-Da’s: A Fantasy Christmas
The Neiman Marcus Christmas Book was always hot on my seasonal reading list when I was in my twenties. This was the part of my life where the magic of Christmas had evolved into what may seem to many as very commercial. I won’t deny that there was really no deep meaning in my draw to find out what was on the list of outrageous fantasy gifts, but more significantly I was drawn to the creativity of these ideas. The pageantry of Christmas is part of what makes this holiday so special. It’s a time of year when we are supposed to take time to find ways to show others how much they mean to us.
For some, this comes in the form of a slumber party at the Neiman’s Flagship store in Dallas or a walk-on part in a Broadway show — there should be a reality show for those who receive the Neiman Marcus Fantasy gifts! What the geniuses behind the Christmas Book stumbled upon is that experience gifts are valued in a way that an actual item may not be able to hold over time. They also understood that there was a void that needed filling in the realm of “what do you get for the person that has everything?”
TSALT has spent the last year putting a boutique together that will support the designs of Tamara Saltonstall. So much has happened over the last two months at 106 N. Saint Asaph that if you haven’t come by in a while, you are sure to be impressed with some of these new additions to the boutique. It’s evolving as any living thing should when nurtured.
TSALT’s original concept was to offer a different type of shopping experience. We set out to answer the call of women who were a hard fit and desperately desired beautiful clothing. Now that the laundry list of “to do’s” has been turning into “ta-da’s,” Tamara is redirecting her attention back upstairs to the studio and eager to work one-on-one with clients.
This holiday we are taking a page out of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book and creating our own Fantasy Gift. Imagine starting 2017 knowing you have an appointment to design a custom dress for yourself. The real magic in this type of gift lies in the ability to build off of the effort and create a collection specific to you and your lifestyle. The process starts with a consultation interview where Tamara establishes your goals for this experience.
Perhaps it’s a special occasion like a wedding, or a special birthday. Or, maybe you are in need of a perfect day dress for work and want it made in a few colors or fabrics. If you are coming up short on ideas of what your husband, boyfriend, significant other should give you this holiday season or want to give a very special gift to your daughter, sister, mother…why not initiate the process with the TSALT Fantasy Gift?
This experience can be as extravagant as you desire but starts at $500. There’s a little fantasy in every gift and yours can be seasoned with TSALT!
Call us at 703-664-0585 and we’ll design your experience and make it worthy of what’s to come by presenting it most festively.
