The gift guide for her is here! 🎁🤍
This year I rounded up cozy, thoughtful gifts she’ll actually use: soft throws and slippers, candles that make the house smell like Christmas, beautiful coffee table books, everyday favorites for the kitchen and a few little luxuries. Whether you’re shopping for your mom, sister, wife or best friend, there’s something here for every woman on your list. Everything is linked below each photo, so just swipe through to shop!
Cozy Gifts for the Homebody
If she loves a slow morning at home, cozy is always the way to go. Shearling slippers, a soft mohair throw, a towel warmer and nice sheets are the kind of gifts that get used every single day all winter long.
A few tips for cozy gifts:
- Stick with warm neutrals. Cream, oatmeal, tan and soft green go with almost any home, so a throw or pillowcase can live right out on the sofa or bed.
- Tuck in a gift receipt. Slippers and sheets are the gifts most likely to need a size swap.
- Bundle a few small things. A satin pillowcase with a pillow mist, or slippers with a throw, makes a sweet set without a big price tag.
Gifts That Make the House Smell Like Christmas
A good candle is one of the easiest gifts there is, and nothing makes a home feel more like the holidays. Balsam and spruce candles, a candle warmer lamp (it melts the candle from the top, so there’s no open flame), a smart fragrance diffuser or a ceramic oil diffuser with eucalyptus oil all make the house feel warm and inviting.
Make it feel thoughtful: pick a scent she already loves, or go seasonal with balsam, cedar or spruce. For an easy, pretty wrap, tie the gift with a velvet ribbon and tuck in a sprig of greenery, just like the cutting boards in the photo above.
Coffee Table Books, Art + Decor She’ll Love
For the woman who loves her home, coffee table books and art are such a fun gift. You can spot Sunday Suppers in the stack above! Call It Home and Live Beautiful are full of beautiful rooms and ideas, and vintage-style landscape art, a scalloped bowl or a classic board game set round it out.
How to style them once they’re unwrapped:
- Stack books in twos or threes, largest on the bottom, and top the stack with a candle or a small bowl.
- Lean art instead of hanging it. A framed print leaned on a dresser or shelf is easy to swap out with the seasons.
- Add something living. A little greenery or a few stems in a vase keep a vignette from feeling flat.
Everyday Favorites She’ll Actually Use
These are the practical gifts that still feel special: a heated Ember mug that keeps coffee or tea at just the right temperature, a cream enameled Dutch oven, Caraway’s ceramic cookware and glass storage sets and a pair of antique-style wood cutting boards. For the reader, a remote page turner; for movie nights, a portable mini projector; and a slim charger she’ll keep in her bag.
Gifting tip: if you’re not sure about her style, cream, wood and gold finishes are the safest bets. They blend into almost any kitchen and look pretty left out on the counter.
Little Luxuries: Beauty + Accessories
These are the things she might not buy for herself: a NuFACE mini microcurrent device, a DIME skincare routine, gold stud earrings, blue light glasses and a classic claw clip. A roomy tote and a faux suede bomber jacket make great gifts too.
- Build a skincare set. The DIME cleansing balm, jelly cleanser and day cream make a complete morning and evening routine.
- Stocking stuffers: the claw clip, the earrings and the pillow mist from the cozy section all fit right in a stocking.
