2025 Women’s Gift Guide

Eberjey Gisele lounge set. This is my favorite lounge set. I gift it over and over again. 

Eberjey washable silk PJ set. And these are the best silk PJs! So light and soft. 

The classic micro Ugg. This is definitely the Ugg of the season! I’ve been wearing them nonstop. 

Oura ring. I haven’t take my oura ring off in months. I love it so much. 

A tennis necklace. I have many suggestions here. I like going to a local jeweler first. If you want an online higher-end option, I suggest ring concierge. Lab diamond, I’d go for dorsey. If you want something on a smaller budget, I love the pavoi line on amazon! It will not last forever, but it is very reasonable and super cute for the trendy layered look at the moment. Or to try something out! 

Joy Dravecky Mary necklace. I wear mine almost every day. I bought them for my mom, MIL, cousin and more. They are gorgeous!

Diamond script name necklace. This is another gift where you can go high or low. A high end option would be ring concierge – I have my name and Emilia’s name. Amazing quality. I also have a budget friendly option from bauble bar that I love. They have tons of different options that are super cute!

Salomon sneaker. These sneakers are fashion forward but also comfortable. I like them so much better than the new balance ones. 

Longchamp cosmetics case. I use this daily and just transfer it from purse to purse. It’s great. 

Hulken bag. My bag I can’t live without. It’s incredible for groceries, taking the kids’ stuff to school – everything. Moving, packing, decorating – all the things. 

Crystal huggie hoops. I wear huggie hoops daily. I love them. 

Furbish needlepoint pillows. I have gifted so many of these. They are so fun and cute! 

Barefoot Dreams blanket. Even though I love the Lola blanket, we still use MANY of our barefoot dreams blankets daily. Everyone still loves ’em! 

Lola blanket. This is my #1 gift this year again. I’ve already bought six this year for gifts! It is the softest warmest faux fur blanket I’ve found. It’s not heavy (in a good way) and it’s almost stretchy. I LOVE IT. A caveat: never pay full price, there is always a discount code! I recently used cozy50 to get 50% off. It’s not my code, but just one I found. 

Fringe blanket scarf. A giant scarf is one of my favorite gifts to give. 

Watercolor workbook. We have all loved using these so much. 

Baggu pouch set. Excellent travel pouches or ones that are great to have in your purse daily. 

Omnilux LED mask. I live for an LED face mask. It is such a relaxing experience and really makes you slow down. I also love the benefits of one.  

Zip leather card case. I have only used a card case for years. Never changing that! 

J Crew oversized cashmere wrap. This is the best cashmere wrap EVER. The quality is superb, it is huge, it lasts forever. I highly highly recommend. 

J Crew brushed cashmere scarf. This is a smaller scarf version and also super soft and beautiful. A timeless gift! 

CZ tennis slider bracelet. This is so gorgeous! 

Varley half-zip sweatshirt. I live in this sweatshirt – it is so soft and lays so nicely. Doesn’t look sloppy at all. 

Neon pink fleece jacket. I’ve been wearing this all fall and I love it. It’s super warm and the color… my dream. 

Naghedi St Barth’s tote. These bags are my favorite and there are so many sizes, colors, shapes and more. They last forever. 

Primrose vanity mirror. A mini version of the viral giant mirror. It is gorgeous. 

Chain duster earrings. One of my favorite pairs of earrings to wear. They are so dainty and pretty. I get so many compliments on them. 

Drowsy pillow scrunchie. My go-to bedtime scrunchie. I have so many and I use them daily. Definitely something I can’t live without. 

Cashmere tech gloves. So warm, soft but you can still use your phone!

Go Sports sweatshirt. My cousin gifted me this last year and I love it. Because I can wear it anywhere! 

Jenny Bird Gia mega bangle. This is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. It’s timeless but also makes a statement at the same time. 

Jenny Bird puffy heart chain necklace. I also LOVE the puffy heart necklaces here. Again, timeless but bold. 

Navy suede shoulder bag. My eye has been on this bag since late summer. It is so beautiful in the navy shade. 

MZ Wallace small sutton. MZ wallace has some of the best bags I’ve ever bought – my first diaper bag was one I used 11 years ago and still have to this day. 

MZ Wallace large toiletry bag. This fits SO much. Amazing for travel, but I just use it for my everyday products too.

MZ Wallace micro accordion bag. I love this for jewelry, especially for travel or if I need to take it with me. Nothing gets tangled. 

Furbish lacquer tray. These are SO fun.

Furbish mini lacquer tray. So are the mini versions!!

Mason Grey kimono robe. One of my favorite robes ever – it is SO soft. 

Weezie short sleeve robe. This is a must for me because it’s short sleeved and I get SO hot drying my hair. I wear this every time I dry my hair. 

Solitaire CZ necklace. I love this for a simple, classic look. But it also layers nicely! 

CZ cluster bangle. And this bracelet – sooooo pretty! 

Beaded croissant bag. Beaded bags are such a hit right now and OF COURSE I love the food themes. 

Faux fur ear muffs. Love them. I don’t care if they are ridiculous! 

Sleep Crown pillow. I use this daily. I love it so much. I travel with it. Have gifted many. It has changed my sleep! 

Winter wonderland tea wheel. I buy this every year. It’s so fun to taste the holiday teas. I love it. 

Faux fur slides. I have these and wear daily. So cute, comfy and easy to slip on. 

Cosmetic leather train case. Leatherology is SO good – the quality is unmatched. I adore this train case. It’s better than the designer versions. 

Desktop weekly planner. I can’t live without my planner. Definitely one of my favorite things. 

Canon Mini Photo Printer. Not only do I love this, the kids love it! I print out lots of pictures from my phone, which print on a sticker. You can add the pics to your planner, calendar, cards, etc. I stick pictures of Jordan in the kids’ backpack!

Scout Tote Bag. Everyone, seriously everyone, needs a scout bag. They fold flat and take up no space. They have a zipper and hold SO much. You can transport anything in them. They are waterproof! Absolutely perfect. I love these for teacher gifts with a gift card.

Stanley flip top tumbler. I only use the flip top straw tumblers now. They are the absolute best. 

Lululemon Align Pants. You cannot go wrong with these. They have been uniform for years. Nothing compares.

Think Rolyn little runway sling. This is my favorite sling bag. I have multiple colors. It can fit a pack of wipes and a standard sized bottle of water. It’s awesome.

I say it every year, but this might be my favorite year of the kid’s gift guide yet!

Now that I have a 10 year old, an 8 year old and a 4 year old, I feel confident in what my kids LOVE and enjoy playing with the most. This list hasn’t changed a lot this year – in fact, many things stay on it as Emilia moves into playing with some of Max’s things and Jordan moves into Emilia’s. One thing I left off the list because it’s so extensive: LEGOS! Max and Emilia are absolutely obsessed with Legos and build constantly. I’ve listed a few of the big faves, but that’s it.

I love making gift guides and this is crazy – it’s my 15th year making them. This is always my favorite gift guide to make. It’s easily the price range where I find myself buying the most gifts – whether it’s for a grab bag family gift (we pick names in a few instances in our family and it’s GREAT – highly suggest doing this if you haven’t yet.), a stocking stuffer, a teacher gift, a work gift, etc. And I have SO MANY IDEAS for you here.

Most of the things you’ll find in my gifts guides won’t be a huge surprise – I’ve talked about most of them throughout the years in my monthly favorites posts. There are repeats from years past, because I want to make sure I’m recommending something I have, use, gifted and/or love. However, I’ve scoured the internet and lots of my favorite places to curate a guide of things I really, truly love, and plan on gifting. This is my favorite list!
