I’m back with Victoria and Sarah to share my Christmas gift guide for the ladies today! Truth be told, I missed Monday’s “Christmas Wish List” day, and honestly, these are all things on my own wish list. If you really must know why I didn’t make a gift guide for moms or the guys or anyone else, it’s because I’m not the world’s best gift-giver. It’s just not my love language, and it’s always a struggle, y’all. I could actually probably make a pretty decent gift guide for theoretical moms, dads, or guys, but when it comes to specific, individual humans I clam up. I come up with a lot of excuses like “I either already got that thing for them one year,” or “it doesn’t seem like them,” or “I don’t think they need it,” and the list goes on. But this year, I’m trying to get over my gift giving stage fright by starting earlier, and so far it has been far less stressful.
While I’m making imperfect progress on my gift-giving, this “gift guide” really resembles what I usually end up doing when I go shopping for gifts: find things I want myself. So without further ado, check out all these sweet ideas for the ladies in your life.
Pom Pom Hat: I actually just got one of these that I’m about to feature soon, but this is not only practical for winter and adorable, but it’s just plain fun. I’ve been wanting one for several seasons.
Frasier Fir Candle: I smelled this at the gift shop down the street from my office, and it was life changing. I have another fir candle that is amazing, so I’m thinking the scent of pine trees translates well to candle, but this one smelled like a ski lodge on Christmas in the freshest way.
Polka Dot Pajamas: I have my eye on matching pajama setsWe all know that now that I’m an “adult,” and these are cozy, vintage, adorable, and affordable.
Fur Earmuffs: These are very similar to the pom pom hat, but a more unexpected (maybe less warm) route. I also love all the faux fur scarves and wraps from Restoration Hardware.
Leather Wraparound Bracelet: I stole this idea from Carly, but they were definitely worth re-sharing. I think these are so different and just cool plus you can write whatever you want on them. I like that they’re classic but a tiny bit trendy.
Black Watch Tote: You can’t go wrong with this gorgeousness + monogramming, and I have been a Barrington Gifts fan from afar for far too long.
Iridescent Necklace: I tried this on with Haley in Houston, and it was so pretty. It goes with everything but is just striking and different enough to be a noticeable addition to your everyday necklace rotation.
Monogram Ring: This is just so fun.
Perfume: If you’re looking for a delicious scent that is neither too overpowering nor too sickly sweet, this is my new favorite. I got it for our wedding day, and now it’s my everyday perfume.
Fisherman’s Sweater: This is one wardrobe staple I still lack, and it is just scrumptious. I kind of want to just wear it with leggings and riding boots and let it stand on its own, but being ivory, it could also go with so many skirts and such.
Nobility Bow Barrette: Ok so I go through weird phases cyclically where I just have an insatiable craving for hair accessories, and I’m kind of in the upward swing right now. I think you have to be the right person, but hair accessories and I have always gotten along swimmingly, it’s really more of a matter of me remembering to wear them. These nobility bows are just perfect. I think I need black and navy, and then I’ll stop, I promise. (Also, I just realized I also put this on my birthday wish list. Oops.)
Urban Turban: See above. I love all “Gina Made It” things, and these come in so many fun colors + they cover up a bad hair day in such a cute, vintage way.
Gemini Bow Pumps: For some reason I really loathe kitten heels, but when the same heel height comes in chunky, I am completely on board. I love that these are a little dressier and more stylish than flats but still more wearable than heels.
