65 GIFT IDEAS FOR HER

I’m excited to kick off my 2019 gift guides with a long list of ideas for the ladies in your life! I’m keeping things simple this year and sharing all my best gift ideas in fewer, longer posts that you can bookmark and refer back to once the cyber week sales start next week. I hope this is helpful! I scoured all my go-to retailers and racked my brain for the items that I love most and think would make fabulous gifts for any number of recipients. I incorporated a wide variety of price points, but definitely keep in mind that the vast majority of these items can also be purchased with a promo code over the coming weeks. Whether you’re shopping for your mom, your grandmother, your mother-in-law, your sister, your best friend, or putting together a little list for yourself, I hope you find something you love!

P.S. I’ll be sharing a similar round-up of gifts for the men in your life as well as a list of experiential gift ideas. Stay tuned!

Etsy monogrammed notepad, $25

A no-brainer for the monogram lover in your life.

J.Crew velvet smoking slippers, $188

I never tire of a classic smoking slipper and this playful bright pink velvet pair would be extra fun to unwrap.

I dare you to find someone who doesn’t love this scent! And pretty packaging to boot.

APL sneakers, $165

I was convinced to buy these after so many of my friends and readers raved about them. They’re super comfortable and come in the best colors — I went with this pair!

The Home Edit by Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, $14

I love following these ladies on Instagram and their book is a must-have for anyone with a goal to get organized in the new year.

Talbots suede bow mules, $139

I wore the plaid version of these to an event in the city last week and now I have my heart set on the black suede pair as well. I think they look much pricier than they are!

Etsy applique monogram hand towel, $32

I’ve had these bookmarked for once we complete our powder room renovation next year, but they’d make a darling gift for a new homeowner too!

 

 

Hydro Flask water bottle, $44

This water bottle has been a lifesaver for feeding Teddy in the middle of the night and it’d make a great gift for any fitness fanatics on your list. It holds 32 ounces, keeps water cold for up to 24 hours (!), and has a straw cap that prevents spills and can be opened one-handed.

Beautycounter Counter+ set, $89

Who doesn’t love the gift of self-care? This set has a $130 value and includes two of my current favorite skincare products, the overnight resurfacing peel and the charcoal mask.


Cuyana zip wallet, $125

I’m thinking it’s time to upgrade my mom’s wallet and I’ve had and loved this pebbled leather wallet for several years now.

Gray Malin: Italy, $26

Everyone loves a beautiful coffee table book and this one is definitely worthy of display.

The high neck is flattering for all ages and their super soft fleece has repurposed more than 1 million plastic water bottles! Lots more colors here.

Nordstrom imitation pearl studs, $39

No classic wardrobe is complete without a pair of pearl studs. This real pair would make a lovely gift if you’re looking to splurge!

 

 

Cuyana leather travel case set, $120

I haven’t taken a trip without these since I got them years ago. Love the subtle gold monogram!

A dreamy gift for anyone with a big trip on the horizon. Will gave me the navy version years ago and it’s been everywhere with us!

LL Bean boots, $159

I wouldn’t survive winter in New England without them. I have the 8″ pair with Thinsulate insulation but I’m eyeing the shearling-lined pair for extra warmth.

Pottery Barn picture frame, $29

When in doubt, I often fall back on gifting framed photos. Most people rarely take the time to print their own photos nowadays which makes it a new frame all the more special!

Serena & Lily side cart, $448

We use this cart as a side table in our family room (you can see it in our last place here), but it’s a versatile piece that anyone on a decorating kick will be happy to find a home for. It’s a bit of a splurge but stay tuned for a big Serena & Lily sale next week!

Mark & Graham striped pouch, $85

A pretty pop of color great for girlfriends or cousins. I have the navy but I also love the hot pink!

Amazon ice roller, $11

A cheap thrill that every woman should have in her freezer. I love mine for mornings when I can tell I was grinding my teeth the night before, but they’re also great for depuffing and hangover relief.

J.Crew moccasin slippers, $59

I’ve been practically living in these since I gave birth. The shearling lining is insanely cozy, plus they have a rubber sole so I can let Rory out in them. I just realized J.Crew Factory sells a nearly identical pair for $39!

Nordstrom diamond studs, $575

For anyone who’s been extra nice this year, it doesn’t get more timeless than a pair of diamond studs.

Saint James striped sailor shirt, $79

The best striped shirts available in a variety of different colors (I own all four, oops!). A forever classic that my Grandy and I both swear by.

The Daily Edited shadow text phone case, $60

I get so many questions about my iPhone case and it’s the shadow text option from The Daily Edited. Such a good gift for girlfriends!

Mark & Graham marble cheese board, $39

A personalized gift for anyone who loves to entertain.

Tretorn sneakers, $75

I love my Tretorn sneakers and both my mom and my mother-in-law have commented that they wore the exact same pair at my age. Wouldn’t it be fun to surprise them with a pair?

Amazon fabric shaver, $8

Every household needs at least one. This $8 purchase is key to keeping your sweaters (and everything from workout pants to throw blankets) looking brand new — see my before and after here. Perfect as a stocking stuffer or yankee swap gift!

LL Bean boat and tote, $29 + $8 monogram

You can never have too many canvas bags. We use the medium size for a diaper bag, the large for a beach bag, and the extra-large for weekend trips.

 

Tod’s driving loafers, $495

A pair of Tod’s loafers has been on my wishlist forever, and this pale blue color is calling my name.

Ralph Lauren custom cashmere crewneck, $298

A gift that will have everyone asking, “where’d you get that?” The customization options are endless.

Williams-Sonoma Home coral frame, $70

We have the mirror version of this frame above the dresser in our bedroom and it’s the perfect accent for anyone who loves the beach.

Mark & Graham monogrammed robe, $89

I’m taking it as a sign that this has my married initials on it… 🙂

Pamela Munson pearl clutch, $325

I have a wicker bag obsession and Pamela Munson makes some of my favorites. How darling is this pearl clutch?
