Women’s Gift Guide

Hi All!

I’m starting the week off with a Women’s Gift Guide! I’ve designed this guide to be chock full of gifts for all the women in your life that are difficult to buy for: mothers, mother-in-laws, sisters, aunts, etc.! I think there is something for women of all ages on this list and I’ve split it up into tiers based on dollar budget like I did for the Men’s Gift Guide. Christmas is only a little more than 2 weeks away, so it’s really time to buckle down on your shopping!

Women’s Gift Guide Details:

$50 and Under:

1. Cuisinart Knife Set – Original Colorful Set $16.99

Cuisinart Knife Set – Pastel Set $12.99

A knife set might seem dumb or strange, but I think it’s a great gift. Anyone who cooks even slightly could use it and at this price anyone can afford it. I’ve owned this set for about two years now and only one knife that I use the most for chopping needs sharpening. All of the rest are in good shape and I paid $12 for it because there was some crazy sale going on. Under $20 for new knives is such an awesome deal! If you think the first one is a little too colorful, then Macy’s has a set in more pastel, neutral kitchen colors that I also linked!

2. Cashmere Poncho $39.99

Macy’s is offering its annual friends & family sale through tonight and this cashmere poncho is only $39.99! I feel like any woman could use a poncho because most of us are always cold and wraps like this are just so handy! Plus, it’s great that it is just one size fits all and you don’t have to bother with knowing a size.

3. Peepers Glasses Mostly all $25.00 and under!

So most older people wear reading glasses and while this might seem kind of boring, I think glasses are so fun and Peepers offers tons of fun colors and styles of frames to switch up your look. It’s a great gift since they are also practical and older folk LOVE a practical gift! A pair of reading glasses, a book, a bottle of wine in a little basket – that is such a good gift!

I first heard about Peepers when they were featured in Oprah’s Favorite Things a couple of years ago. Last year they were featured for not only reading glasses, but also for blue blockers, which are glasses that have lenses specifically made to help block out the harmful blue light emitted from digital device screens (they offer this feature in regular reading glasses as well.) I ordered a pair and I really liked them. I felt like for the price the quality was good and I wore them pretty frequently and they are still in great condition. This year they were featured yet again and I ordered another pair (the Oprah favorite Shine On style) on Cyber Monday for only $17.50! If you are concerned about a frame not working out, I had to return a pair that didn’t work for me last year and their customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend! They also offer reading sunglasses!

4. Leopard Scarf $19.00

I’ve talked about this leopard scarf before on my Insta Stories. I own last year’s version of this scarf and for $19 you really can’t beat it! If leopard print isn’t your gift recipient’s favorite print, then they may like this cheery striped one which is so long that it could also double as a wrap!

5. TopShop Bag $48.00

I love this bag! It’s a classic size and shape! The tortoise shell handles are a nice touch and I think it looks like it would be much more expensive than $48!

$50 – $100:

6. Ugg Slippers $84.95

These are the ultimate in comfort and luckily Ugg makes several different kinds of slippers with varying price tags. My favorite Ugg Slippers are the Coquette because of the hard sole. Whenever I need to take out the garbage or run to the convenience store to get milk, I don’t have to change out of my slippers! I’ve had my pair for 9 years and they actually do belong in the trash at this point, but 9 years for slippers is a very long time!

The Dakota is a cozy loafer style that is offered in tons of colors which is always a plus! You can run outside really quickly with these as well but the sole isn’t as durable as the Coquette which brings the price down a little. The best part that I’ve found with this style is that you can simply reorder the fluff insert if you wear it down, rather than purchasing a whole new pair of slippers. I did this maybe two years ago and it was the best $20 ever spent. My Dakotas are still going strong with the new inserts!

Overall, I would say the best Ugg slipper for a gift is probably the classic Scuffette style. It’s a classic feminine slipper style that is offered in several colors. Either way, I don’t think you can go wrong with giving slippers!

7. Bath & Body Works Spa Basket $60.00

Gift sets are just the best! Every women is stressed to some degree and this little spa basket is sure to put her worries at ease! I’ve used this scent before and I really like it – eucalyptus is known to be a very relaxing scent and I bet the pillow spray is great at helping you to fall asleep! Also, how cute is the little stuffed lamb!?

8. Kate Spade One in a Million Initial Necklace $58.00

Jewelry always makes for a good gift and this simple initial necklace is a classic piece that I think any woman would appreciate. I’ve owned this in gold for a few years now and it still looks awesome and hasn’t tarnished at all. The one I linked is for it in rose gold, but it is also offered in silver and gold.

9. Holiday Edible Arrangement (Prices vary, but the good ones are usually over $50!)

Ok, can you really go wrong with cut up fresh fruit delivered to someone’s door in a darling arrangement?! I think not. It’s also nice that there are varying arrangement sizes and prices so that you can go big or go small. But whichever one you choose, please make sure there are some pieces covered in chocolate because that’s the best part!! (How cute are those little white chocolate snowmen?!) They also offer boxes of chocolate covered strawberries and other delicious treats!

Over $100:

10. Fancy Blanket  $147.00

Give the gift of warmth! I don’t know about you but I own plenty of blankets, yet I’m always looking at them in stores like “oooo blankets – I could use a new one!” Most women like them since they are practical and can also be used as home decor. There are also so many kinds of blankets and at all different price points which makes for a great selection! The one I’ve linked is by Barefoot Dreams which is a brand known for their high quality, ultra cozy products. This blanket comes in seven different colors and has nearly 200 5-star reviews, so it’s got to be good! This Nordstrom faux fur one is also super cute and looks soooo warm! If your price point is much lower, then try this one here– it’s under $40 and comes in 20 different colors!

11. Everyday Tote Bag   $215.00

My sister and I are always talking about how we both want the MZ Wallace Metro Tote! It just looks like such a great bag! Target knocked them off recently and I bought it, but then returned it because I really didn’t need it. But, I did really like it because it was super lightweight and I totally got the appeal of the Metro Tote. It’s so light that I’m sure you can stuff it and it’s still not heavy! I think it seems like the perfect everyday bag and it comes in TONS of colors – 22 to be exact so you can find the best one for the woman in your life! (I personally LOVE the black one with sequins, but I’m extra like that! ;))

What do you think of my choices? Are you all done shopping? I still have a few more things to purchase, but I am in good shape and I’ve already wrapped a few things!

Have a great day!
