Yes, it’s that time! Time to talk about the best holiday gift ideas for her. As you can probably guess, this is our favorite (and probably the easiest) gift guide of the year for both of us. That’s because we’re not just looking for great ideas for you, we get to pick out things that we would love ourselves!
All of these gifts fall into that category. They are gifts that not only we think other women will love, we’d put them all on our own list. Should we send a link to this post to our husbands???

Gift Ideas for Her: Fashion
Lululemon Belt Bag in Fleece, $58 (nylon fabric, $38)
Let’s start with this ubiquitous Lululemon belt bag. It’s everywhere for a reason – it’s great. We both own one of them and love them. They fit so much more than you would think and they are comfortable to wear. Two thumbs up from us.
We think the fleece version makes a great gift. In addition to pink, it also comes in white and black.
14K Gold Diamond Bezel Necklace from Quince, $149.90
If you know Jen, you know how much she loves Quince. And for good reason. Everything on their website is high quality at great prices, just like this necklace. This is an amazing price for a real gold and diamond necklace (and it’s pretty too!)
Cashmere-Wool Blend Poncho from J. Crew, $94.50
Want to get her something chic and fashionable, but don’t know her size? Then this wrap/poncho is a great idea and something that will never go out of style. It comes in eight different colors, so you’re bound to find the color that works best for her.
Italian Leather Small Triple Compartment Tote from Quince, $129.90
Real leather bag for under $130? Yes, please! Another great idea from Quince. It also comes in tan and black.
Ideas for Her: Cozy Gifts
Who doesn’t like something warm and cozy, especially this time of year? We’ve got some of the coziest gift ideas for her.
Tea With Publyssity Binge Watch Black Tea, $26
Podcast Host Alyssa Amoroso created a genius idea to go along with her “Tea with Publyssity” podcast where she “spills the tea” with reality TV stars, influencers and experts. What makes this tea so unique is the packaging. It’s designed to look like a book, so it can be perfect displayed in your home.
And fun fact, Alyssa just happens to be the daughter of Dianne’s high school bestie and we love support women entrepreneurs!
Ribbed Knit Cashmere Throw from Quince, $139.90
Here is a great cashmere throw, also available in gray and ivory. Not only is this soft and comfortable, it will also look great on the back of her sofa or chair. It would match perfectly with a cup of tea.
Plush Reversible Shag and Sherpa Throw Blanket from Amazon, $19.99
If cashmere isn’t her thing, or you want something a little heavier, then this throw from Amazon couldn’t be better. This throw is available in almost 40 different colors and textures, there’s one with her name all over it!
More Cozy Gifts
“Thank You For Being My Unpaid Therapist” Candle from Etsy, $12.60
Here’s a great gift for “your person”, the one that’s always there for you. You can pair it with any of these other comfy gift ideas for her.
Australian Shearling Scuff Slippers from Quince, $49.90
Do these remind you of another brand? These are about half the price, but still great quality. A perfect gift!
Festive Bistro Tile Monogram Mug, $14 and Dessert Plate, $18 from Anthropologie
We know there are tons of holiday mugs and plates out there, but we think Anthropologie offers some of the fun most and chic looks, like this bistro tile design.
Milk Bar Sampler by Milk Bar, $60
Who doesn’t love snacks? Especially this sampler pack of classic Milk Bar treats. Pair them with the tea, mug and plate for the perfect combo gift.
Gift Ideas for Her: More Holiday Cheer
Here are just a couple more ideas to bring her some holiday cheeer.

This is a fun cookbook for Christmas movie fan. It includes menu items from Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Elf, A Christmas Story, and many more.

Here’s a great idea to pair with the Christmas Movie Cookbook! Very elegant and classy!
Ideas for Her: For Her Favorite Things
Here are some more things we’ve found that can be specific to her favorite things.
WanderFull Crossbody HydroBag – Water Bottle Holder, $58 on Amazon
Speaking of Favorite Things, we just found this product this week as it is a part of Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2023. I (Dianne) have been looking for something like this. It’s perfect for hiking, theme parks, concerts, you name it. (Mine is on order, I’ll let you know how it is!)
It comes in over 20 colors, including basic black and some bright, fun colors.
Pretty Simple Pickleball Sling Bag, $118 from Anthropologie
There are so many people playing pickleball these days, so cute bags like this one are popping up everywhere. We picked this one because of it’s cool, retro feel. It’s also sporty and chic at the same time.
Transparent and Waterproof Makeup Bag, $29.99 from Amazon
If she’s a travel or makeup lover (or both!) this is a great cosmetics bag. You can see where everything is and there are all different waterproof compartments to keep your liquids separated from the rest of your makeup. Available in five different colors.
Travel Spray Duo, $60 from Henry Rose
Henry Rose is actress Michelle Pfeiffer’s fragrance company which she launched in just the last couple of years. She was looking for safe and sustainable ingredients in fragrances so she started her own company.

There are 10 fragrances in the line and you can pick any two you like to make this travel duo.
And to wrap it all up….
How about using one of these gorgeous totes to use as your gift bag (and something she can keep!). The artist is a former colleague and friend of Dianne’s and we love her amazing designs. She has some holiday totes coming soon, and we will update this page when they are available. In the meantime, check out Sherrie’s Etsy page, Wanderlust Art Gifts Co. Each tote is $25.
