Gift Guide 2024: Gifts for Her (Part 1)
I’m always on the hunt for great gift ideas so I’ve been down the gift guide rabbit hole on TikTok and call me crazy, but all the guides seem to mention the same ideas over and over (which in my mind are uninspired) and favor gen z / twenty something year olds vs. our favorite 30 and 40 year old millennials. So as a thirty something millennial and as I have started pulling gift ideas for my friends and family, I pulled together a more elevated yet cool gift guide for the women in your life (wife, mom, sister, friend, girlfriend) who might need a new vacuum but really wants to be spoiled with things she really wants….like a red light therapy mask or a beautiful (and affordable…can we say lab grown diamonds!) tennis bracelet .
Today I am pointing part one of a two part list, cause the ‘her’ in your life is a fun, complex human being who deserves to be spoiled so you need ALL the gift ideas. Hope theseideas help inspire you and make your Christmas shopping a little easier this year!
Sweater Dress // An easy but chic thrown on sweater dress is the PERFECT gift. Dress up or down, wear to work or run errands, it’s super versatile, easy to wear and she will feel super pulled together with no effort needed.
Tennis Bracelet // This is a great ‘spoil her’ gift and is absolutely stunning! I received this bracelet two years ago, love it and wear daily. Lab grown diamonds are the way to go!
Black Ankle Boots // You can not go wrong gifting a pair of classic black leather ankle boots. Period!
Ina Garten Memior // To be a millennial is to be a lover of Ina Garten, our beloved Barefoot Contessa. Her memoir is so inspired and every woman in their 30s and 40s needs to read it ASAP. Especially if you are at a cross roads in life, want to feel inspired, and want to believe in life’s magic again. This member is perfection and a wonderful gift!
Blue Light Glasses // If she is a corporate boss or on her computer all day, blue light glasses are a must. These frames will immediately make her feel so cool and add a little something extra to her WFH outfits.
Sezane Cardigan Sweater // Sezane knitwear is my go to knitwear. Their sweaters and cardigans have a modern edge to them but are classic styles that she can wear for seasons to come. This chunky cardigan sweater is the perfect layering piece and comes in many great colors. The red is absolutely stunning and a great pop of color for her closet!
Red Light Therapy Mask // This mask is on my own Christmas list and am dying to add to my own skincare routine. If she is skincare obsessed this mask will help combat redness and help with anti-aging (fine lines and wrinkles watch out!).
Longchamp Tote Bag // A classic, everyday tote bag that will never go out of style. Truly the BEST bag for school, work, travel and everyday needs. Also very easy to clean and almost indestructible. I have used the large tote bag for almost 20 years and also have the mini backpack which is perfect for traveling. Could not recommend this gift enough!
Makeup Bag // I am hard on my makeup bags and always need a new one every couple of years, so chances are your favorite lady might need a new one too. This western theme one is so cool and fun but is big enough to keep all her daily makeup favorites in one place.
Armani Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer // Blush, bronzer and highlighter all-in-one. A great gift for your makeup lover or (like me) she wants an all-in-one if you do a five minute face.
Fragrance Oil // Perfumes and fragrance oils are such a ‘spoil her’ gift she will absolutely love. All women want to look, feel and SMELL their best. This oil is described as ‘the sexy, French-girl’ fragrance and that is what all woman are aspiring to be (kidding, but not!).
Iconic Juice Cup with Bows // These glass cups with different designs on them are cute and fun. The black bow version is classic and feminine and a great way for her to elevate and enjoy her daily cold beverage.
Favorite Daughter Baseball Hat // She can never have enough baseball hats to wear for school drop off or to run errands. This one is super chic and elevated if she wants to keep her favorite teams hat to game days.
