Look, we get it. Gift guides are a dime a dozen these days. Does the world really need another one? Who the heck knows. While ours might not be the guide to end all gift guides, who would we be if we didn’t try to help a sister out by making her gift-buying just a little bit easier this holiday season?
The below recommendations are our tried and true picks for every lady on your list, at just about every price point. Mother, sister, high school best friend - you name it - there’s something for everyone here. And no, these aren’t affiliate links. We’re aren’t getting paid to recommend ANY of this, which is how you know it’s l-e-g-i-t. Happy shopping and as always - don’t forget to remember the reason for the season! xoxo.

Wander beauty baggage claim eye masks
These were gifted to me a few years ago for Christmas and they've been my go-to ever since. I don't know a single lady who doesn't love a good eye mask, and these are TRULY excellent!
Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask
You know how you go into Sephora and leave with like, a million different samples? This mask was originally, once such sample, and I have to say, it’s probably the only thing I’ve ever gone back and purchased a full size version of. I love. This. mask.
This is one of the best lip products I’ve ever tried, and I guarantee anyone on your list will love it. It’s the best hint of color in a gloss without the stickiness. Worth every penny!
Great for every cook and non-cook in your life! As someone who’s cooked probably ⅔ of this book, I can attest: The recipes are easy to follow and absolutely delicious!
Love these. With so many color options too, you simply can’t go wrong gifting one of these bad boys!
Honestly, I’m always losing my cheese knives. A set like this though, is so nice I would make sure to never misplace them. Basically what I’m saying is this: You can never have too many cheese knives.
I read this earlier this year and loved it. Erin’s story is so inspiring, and I’ve recommended this to basically everyone I know.
Manly indulgence candle - winter's edge
A candle. Revolutionary, right? Yes, I know. But this is a good one, my friends! I’ve already burned through two of them.
As someone who’s always had incredibly thick hair, these are my favorite hair ties of all time.
Bittermilk No. 3 smoked honey whiskey sour
Perfect for those on your list who appreciate a good cocktail but are too lazy to buy all the necessary ingredients. Yes, it me.
The Spintray Desk Tray for Peloton
The perfect gift for your bike-obsessed friend or yourself. This is a great way to balance your workload while also catching up on some needed cardio after Thanksgiving dinner.
I bought myself a very similar pair at Target last year and loved them up. I thought the open toe would be weird, but it surprisingly helped to stave off the excess sweating problem that traditional slippers bring. Buy a fun color that matches your favorite PJs!
The Sill has been my go-to housewarming gift this year. They have so many beautiful potted plants and flowers to choose from you will find a variety that is perfect for anyone on your list.
In my opinion, there is no better self-pampering than a hot bath with oils. The Red Roses scent is my favorite because it takes me back to childhood memories of my mother making homemade perfume from our rose bushes. My mom is so cool. Give it a try––it's divine!
Anthropologie - Ramona Coupe Glasses Set
How beautiful are these colored glasses? I for one collect glassware like most people collect mugs. There's always an occasion to pop a bottle of champagne and you should have just as many festive coupes to choose from to commemorate. #NYE
Estella Bartlett Mini Jewelery Box
Useful, check. Gorgeous, check. Fun, check. If you have a friend that's always on a plane or on the go, this would be a great present idea to help make traveling that much easier on the packing side.
This is the most versatile statement earring. Lightweight but not light on style. It comes in almost every color under the sun and you won't stop getting compliments any time you wear them. Trust me, get a pair for your friend and yourself. I sure have time and time again.
Summersalt - Festive Silky PJs
I think somewhere between discovering retinol and the fine art of multi-step skincare routines I decided I wanted to look like a sophisticated adult woman that sleeps. There are so many good options out there, but having purchased from this brand before I feel confident you'll love the feel and quality of the fabric.
Lands' End Suede Leather Moccasin SlippersMy friend just sent me the link for these and holy sale batman! I just bought a pair for myself. Perfect for morning dog walks/couriering the kids off to daycare on especially...struggle bus Mondays.
Got a #girlboss in your life? I promise you she'll love adding this to her power desk. In fact, any customized stationery will make pretty much make me love you forever. It's thoughtful, simple to order, and the results are fire.
Set of embroidered linen cocktail napkins
A touch of class and a little personalization goes a long way. Custom embroidered cocktail napkins are just the perfect gift any time of year. Hostess gift, birthday, you name it. There are so many talented artisans on Etsy to make you anything your heart desires.
My go-to ornament exchange gift. Last year I was at Friendsgiving and the same person received two of these (one from me)––what can I say my friends have great taste. Everyone loves butter, why not put it on your tree this year?
Framebridge – Custom framed photo/artwork
Such a thoughtful gift. Anytime I've ever received something framed I never forget that person because I see it all the time! This is the perfect gifting idea for someone celebrating a big moment this year like graduation, a birth, marriage, new business launch. Blow up that awesome photo or opt to frame a print of artwork you know they'll love.
I've been gifting Godiva chocolate since high school. Mostly because I worked at Godiva and got a discount, but I haven't let up and still go to these treats as gifts for friends, colleagues, my boss, in-laws. These cookies are just amazing and I say that having eaten hundreds of them in my lifetime.
