Have I mentioned to you how much I LOVE creating these gift guides? I have such a blast thinking of special friends and family members and what they might be needing in their lives right now. It also becomes a really fun activity because I tend to brainstorm with whoever I’m around at the time. This one is extra special to me because I put it together while hanging out with my mom and sisters. It became a list of favorites I’ve tried/bought over the past year, what I have my eye on right now, and recommendations from the most important ladies in my life! So, I’m beyond confident that at least one of these gift ideas for her will be absolutely perfect for the women you’re gifting to this holiday season.

1.) A Gemstone Necklace
It’s no secret that jewelry is a popular gift to give during the holidays. Instead of selecting something traditional, why not go with an eye-catching, conversation-starting piece that is just as unique as she is. The jaw-dropping Dawn Necklace [sp] from the galaxy collection by Eko Jewelry Designs is oxidized sterling silver with a garnet gemstone. Garnet represents the luminous red stars in the winter constellations. The dark background signifies the silence of the dark sky and the garnet brings out a feeling of festiveness. It also symbolizes eternal love, protection, strength, and mental healing while making a great gift that expresses friendship and trust. And, the garnet is also the birthstone for January!
2.) Natural Jewelry Cleaner
Speaking of jewelry, meet the Bling Brush – a natural jewelry cleaner that can be used on both fine gemstones and fashion jewelry to bring back its sparkle. One look at the Limited Edition ‘Pop, Fizz, Bling’ Brush [sp] will have her celebrating from the moment she opens it because the prosecco packaging is just the cutest! Then, when she realizes it is going to keep her precious gems shining bright, she’s sure to be even more ecstatic! Use code HTGEM15 for 15% off the Limited Edition ‘Pop, Fizz, Bling’ Brush Gift until 12/31/2018.
3.) Sherpa Anything
Whether it’s a toggle coat, fuzzy 1/4 zip up, or luxurious open hoodie, sherpa is the coziest trend of the season. It’s literally like getting a hug from a teddy bear. Who wouldn’t love that?!
4.) Innovative Makeup Brush
Gift buying for the professional beauty lover that already has a million eye-shadow palettes and practically every shade of lipstick to ever exist? The perfect gift for her is Michael Todd Beauty’s Antimicrobial Sonic Makeup Brush [c/o]. I’m not kidding when I say it is the world’s most advanced makeup brush. It uses micro movements to give flawlessly applied foundation, blush, contour, highlighter, and setting powder every single time.
5.) Gift Box
I’m such a fan of gift boxes because they’re often filled with thoughtful everyday essentials that you can be sure she’ll use. Plus, a beautifully presented gift is always sure to wow. My recommendation is the Holiday Cheer box from Luxe & Bloom [sp] filled with a candle, tea, and a notebook. It’s the perfect way to send warm holiday wishes this season!
6.) At Home Facial
For years, I’ve heard beauty gurus rave about Drunk Elephant’s T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial [c/o] and after trying it recently, I completely understand why people make claims like it being “magic in a bottle”, “my holy grail”, and “worth every penny”. From minimizing pores and evening texture to fighting fine lines and wrinkles, this is an effective product with a higher price point that will give her a needed facial right at home. Since it’s something she may not splurge on for herself, she’ll be over the moon to receive this as a gift!
7.) Statement Clutch
I love the character a unique, bold accessory adds to an outfit – it makes me feel so fun and adventurous! The Lola clutch from Cane & Camilla [c/o] comes in 5 colors, has the most stunning beadwork, and I cannot get enough of the fringe trim. Wouldn’t it make an amazing holiday gift for the free spirit or traveler in your life?! All of the accessories from Cane & Camilla are actually made from artisans from around the globe (which is just the coolest thing), so be sure to check them out! ⠀
8.) Nail Polish Set
12 swoon-worthy, long-lasting nail polish colors from Julep that any gal would be lucky to add to her collection! They are 5-free and vegan-friendly!
9.) KitchenAid Mixer
This gem from KitchenAid comes in 14 color options and is the holy grail of mixers. If you have a baker in your life, this is the gift of her dreams.
10.) Heated Jacket
For the girl in your life that is always cold, this heated quilted jacket is going to be quite the hit. It quickly provides heat to the chest, back, shoulders and lasts for up to 8 hours!
11.) Cheese Board
When chic and function meet, it’s truly a beautiful thing. This marble cheese board not only serves its purpose but also doubles as home decor! Plus, you can monogram it, which automatically makes any gift more thoughtful and less generic.
12.) The Shoes of Her Dreams
Birdies Slippers are stylish flats that are secretly slippers – aka the shoe every single woman ever has been dreaming of, which is exactly what makes a pair of these an excellent gift choice!
13.) Linen Spray
You know that cozy, delightful feeling that comes with putting on the softest cashmere sweater? Well, the Cashmere Sweater Room & Linen Spray from Pure Placid embodies that experience in a luxurious scent! Frothed cream, sensual jasmine, sandalwood, and vanilla mingle together to create a cozy, relaxing atmosphere in any room. This makes a wonderful and thoughtful gift for anyone who could use something comforting this time of year.
14.) Smartwatch
Whether she’s always on the go, tracks all of her fitness things, or prioritizing staying connected, a smartwatch is sure to make her life easier and I can’t recommend the Misfit Vapor 2 enough. Not only do I love being less attached to my phone, but I also feel so cool when I’m wearing mine, haha!
15.) Cricut
From vinyl stickers and earrings to personalized greeting cards and apparel decals, your favorite crafter will fall head over heels in love with her own DIY cutting machine from Cricut.
