I absolutely love creating my Gift Guide for Her every holiday season because the women in my life are some of my favorite people to shop for this time of year. (Confession: This is also the gift guide that makes me want to put a little too many things on my personal Christmas list!) Every year, when creating my Gift Guide for Her, I try hard to include a myriad of gifts I hope will appeal to women across varying age groups and phases of life.
Whether you’re shopping for your mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, sister, daughter, aunt, friend or anyone else on your list of people to surprise this holiday season, I hope my gift guides are helpful to you and make it a little easier to shop for someone special on your list!
Note: You may also check out my Amazon shop where you’ll find my Gift Guide for Her page for anyone who might want to reference it in the future for last-minute ideas and shopping.
And in case you missed my other gift guides, you may find them below:
Gift Guide 2024: For Her
For the woman whose favorite place in the world is her home, the below gifts may be a good fit! Whether it’s something to make her home feel more welcoming and cozy or a more practical gift to use in her home the below gifts are an assortment of finds she can hopefully use and enjoy.
For sleep:
Brunch Slippers (the perfect blend of comfort and coziness without overheating my feet — think a true luxury hotel slipper!) / NodPod (a sleep game changer — helps so much with my middle-of-the night wake-ups and my mom loves hers, too) + NodPod Compact Weighted Blanket (I love the smaller size of this one and put it on my chest or over my hips when reading before bed every night) / Crown Affair XL Silk Scrunchie (I sleep in mine every night — great for extending your style/waves without creases) / Satin Pajamas (These feel so luxurious! One reviewer called them “low cost luxury” and I agree! I have the green + white stripe and adore them.) / Hatch Restore (for phone-free gentle morning wakeups — it mimics the sunrise) / Blissy Silk Pillowcase (I sleep on mine every night) / Platform Slippers (I even wear these out of the house!)
For coziness:
A favorite holiday candle (I love ILLUME Balsam & Cedar and Calyan Wax Co. Evergreen + Eucalyptus) / A cozy blanket (We’ve had great experience with Snuggle Sac blankets from Amazon + Lola blankets are one of those very influencer-y things but they really are luxuriously soft. Our family fights over ours! Code JULIEFAGAN will save 55% beginning Wednesday) / Warmies Neck Wrap (heat it up or freeze it to soothe + warm + cool) / Corkcicle Nutcracker Cold Cup or Mug (for anyone who loves a festive cup or mug! I use the Nutcracker mug to keep my afternoon kombucha cold and it brings me joy every day!)
For practicality:
Nori Press (a dream of a handheld steam iron that doesn’t require an ironing board!) / Loftie Night Lights (we have these all over our house — they come on automatically at dusk and turn off at dawn and emit a warm, amber glow) / Box Cutter (makes breaking down boxes less of a pain) / Mini Portable Charger (Love that this one shows how much charge is left and charges phones quickly — I keep one fully charged in my car at all times) / Honeycomb Mesh Laundry Bag (a game changer for washing sports bras/bralettes/tops with removable liners — it keeps them in!)
For the kitchen:
Epicurean Cutting Board (the cutting board of my dreams — non-toxic, thin, dish washer safe and doesn’t retain smells/flavors from food) / Brilliance Glass Food Storage Containers (air-tight seal and 10/10 quality — we’ve had ours for years) / SMEG milk frother (the retro-inspired frother we’ve had and loved for years — makes hot foam, cold foam, warm milk, etc. / Viral Rotary Cheese Grater (I use this way more than I ever thought I would to grate cheese but also slice cucumbers and grate carrots and apples for slaw, etc.) / Ember Coffee Mug (to keep her coffee or tea warm — I adore mine and think this would also be a wonderful gift for a new mom to save her from constantly reheating her coffee) / Fellow Electric Kettle (we upgraded to this kettle earlier this year and I adore it for afternoon tea) / Caraway Non-Toxic Bakeware (my fav!) / Target Holiday Juice Glasses (hard to nab because they always sell out + look just like the Anthropologie ones!)
For the bathroom:
Brooklinen Super-Plush Rob (If she loves a terry cloth robe, this one is so comfy and cozy! I LOVE mine so much.) / Parallelle Makeup Bag (Pretty enough to leave out on her vanity! Stores toiletries vertically which is genius as it makes them much easier to find.) / VOLO Hero Hair Towel (I’ve been using this for YEARS after I wash my hair to reduce drying time, frizz and breakage) / Nail Polish Organizer (I have and love this for displaying my nail polish collection) / BaByliss Hair Dryer (The blow dryer I bought after using it at a friend’s house because it was so amazing and made my hair feel so silky! I’ve had it for 10+ years and it’s held up great.)
To keep things clean:
Biom Refillable Wipes (next-phase refillable wipes once you’re done with the baby wipes phase! We LOVE these and have them in our bathrooms and kitchen as well as the mini version in our cars.) / Holiday Hand Soap Kit (another non-toxic fav! This festive set smells wonderful and comes with a refillable glass bottle. This is the same brand that makes our favorite dishwasher detergent tablets.) / Little Green Machine (essential for carpet and upholstery cleaning, especially with pets/young kids) / Tineco Wet Vac (the only reason we have clean floors) / DedCool Detergent + Home Products (the concept of this company is so cool — basically you choose a scent for your life + home products. They make amazing-smelling detergents, linen sprays, fragrance, etc. I’m currently trying a few samples my favorites are Xtra Milk + Taunt. So good!)
For the woman who appreciates a little update to her wardrobe or jewelry collection, a new addition to her closet might be appreciated.
Splurge worthy:
Clare V. Bag (I’ve never been a designer purse girl but Clare V. bags I can get behind because they are timeless, stunning and so well made. Plus, I LOVE the way you can change out bag straps to change the look of your bag making them look fresh and fun! The Moyen Messenger bag is my top recommendation — I’m getting one for my sister this year! — because it’s large enough to hold everything for mom life but not too big that it feels cumbersome/looks ginormous. It’s still large enough to hold a couple of water bottles! I also absolutely love the Grande Fanny and wear mine all the time.) / RUTI Pants (the pants I wear more than any other! They can be dressed up or down, fit like a dream and are so, so flattering. Code PBFINGERS15 saves 15%) / Tiny Tags Dog Tag Name Necklace (I have a mini dog tag with each of our boys’ names on it and never take this necklace off. One of my favorite pieces of jewelry I’ve ever owned.) / Beek Gallito Slides (I wear these ALL THE TIME. Think of them like a way more elevated + gorgeous version of a traditional athletic slide you can dress up or down — made with memory foam! Code THANKFUL saves 20%) / Warby Parker Frames (I recommend a gift card to pick out their own! I have the Bodie bluelight frames and love them for reduced eye strain) / Margaux Downtown Booties (I was gifted these by the brand and they are stunning and very comfortable. A classic boot you’ll have and wear forever.)
Jewelry:
Tennis Bracelet (I haven’t taken this one off since I got it several months ago and it’s in perfect condition. Dainty and beautiful and perfect for layering. I have the 1.5mm stones.) / Beaded Gemstone Necklace (I have this Amazon find and it looks so luxe!) / Tiny Tags Dog Tag Name Necklace (One of my favorite pieces of jewelry I’ve ever owned) / Gorjana Tatum Chain Huggies (I love the dangling chain and wear these in my second piercing every day) / Gorjana Crew Hoops (my go-to hoops!) / Baublebar Elise Earrings (another pair of earrings I wear non-stop– I shower/sleep/workout in them — I love the shape that’s a little more unique than a traditional tiny hoop) / Gorjana Double Huggies (on my wish list! My friend has them and they create the illusion of another piercing) / Custom Charm Necklace (another Amazon find I have — I selected one charm to represent each of my kids) / Gorjana Amour Tiny Heart Necklace (I never take this one off) / Custom Bubble Necklace (such a fun alternative to basic gold name necklaces) / Heart Face Gold Watch (so dainty and pretty) / enewton Bracelets (the ultimate stacking bracelets you can pull on and off + shower and sleep in!) / Candy Cane Hoops (if you’re gifting early, these are so fun for the holiday season! I couldn’t resist ordering a pair.)
Purses/Bags:
Custom Alpha Tote (I have the large size denim with my initials in white and love it so much! It holds a TON.) / Clare V. Moyen Messenger Bag (timeless, gorgeous and a great “next phase of life” mom bag) / lululemon All Night Festival Bag (my favorite for the gym but also great for everything else in life — I gave it to my mom and she loves it, too!) / Free People Quilted Carryall Bag (A favorite of mine for years!) / Initial Bag Charm + Beaded Bag Charm + Heart Bag Charm + Any Clare V. Straps or Charms (to make your bags a little more fun!) / Mini Rhinestone Handbag (for anyone with a fancy event on the agenda — such a pretty little bag!) / Custom Leather Zip Pouch (to little treasures and making moving things from one bag to the next a little easier)
Sweaters + Sweatshirts + Coats:
Quince Boyfriend Cardigan (comfy and looks great with a tee and jeans, my Ruti pants, etc. I sized up for a looser fit.) / Aerie Offline Sweatshirt (you will not find a softer sweatshirt, I promise you + pairs perfectly with these joggers or wide-leg sweats) / Aerie Cloud Zip Fleece (another one I love with a longer length that looks great with leggings + slouchy socks) / Belted Wrap Coat (stunning!!! I especially love the green) / Gingham Puffer (This Target find is adorable)
Shoes/Boots/Booties:
Rothy’s Casual Clogs (like the cold-weather equivalent of Birkenstocks! Comfy, cute and adorable with jeans and a sweater. I have the chestnut color and love them.) / North Face Boots (I’ve walked 15k+ steps in a day in these and the comfort level is 10/10. They’re also warm and waterproof! I had someone on IG also weigh in and say they’re great in the snow, too! If certain sizes are sold out on Amazon, they’re fully stocked here.) / Ultra Mini UGGs (can’t beat the coziness and I love the lower profile — no cankles!) / Platform Slipper Slides (I wear these out of the house, too!) / Black Booties (A gorgeous, classic black bootie to wear with jeans, skirts, dresses, etc.)
Sneakers:
Keds Rena Sneakers (the retro sneakers that quickly captured my heart!! I have the burgundy but love the bright blue for something fun!) / Adidas Grand Court Low Sneakers (I find these low-profile shoes so incredibly comfortable. Like my Sambas, I sized down.) Adidas Sambas (I wear these non-stop and swear these trendy sneakers go with everything — this blue pair is gorgeous and on my wish list!) / Reebok Club C Sneakers (the comfiest white sneakers you’ll find — get the “top chalk” color, as the other colors fit a little different) / New Balance 9060 (like dad sneakers but cool)
Fitness Apparel/Athleisure:
lululemon No Line Align Leggings (everyone’s favorite leggings, now without a center seam) / RUTI Pants (the perfect alternative to leggings + joggers. Code PBFINGERS15 saves 15%) /Left on Friday Workout Set (they make the cutest + most flattering!) / Vuori Boyfriend Sweatpant Joggers (unbelievably soft material and they somehow manage to not look sloppy — love them paired with a sweater and Sambas) / Amazon Hoodie (the lululemon lookalike we all adore — by far the sweatshirt I wear most often!) / Amazon Quarter Crew Socks (my fav for workouts — trendy, cute and thick enough to feel high-quality without making my feet too sweaty)
Pajamas:
GAP Softest Modal Pajamas (the softest fabric — I’m eyeing the pink + red pair or the red with teeny white bows!) / Katie Kime Pajamas (a true luxury gift — they have prints featuring a handful of U.S. states and cities that are so fun and feel a little personalized!) / Nordstrom Moonlight Pajamas (a forever fav — I’ve gifted them to my mom, sister and mother-in-law) / Satin Pajamas (These feel so luxurious! One reviewer called them “low cost luxury” and I agree! I have the green + white stripe and adore them.)
A Gift To Support Her Hobby
I love encouraging loved ones in their hobbies and feel like they are so important! Taking the time to do the things we love increases daily happiness so much and if you can buy a little something to support a loved one’s hobby, I think it would be a gift they would use and appreciate. Sometimes life can feel so crazy that hobbies can fall to the wayside but if you know a hobby your loved one enjoys or previously enjoyed, a gift catered to their hobby might be a welcomed surprise to support something they love or even help reignite their enjoyment of a prior favorite past time.
For the fitness enthusiast:
Stakt Mat (Thick, doesn’t move and can fold to be an elevated surface. I have the pro version and it’s by far the best fitness mat I’ve used! Code PBFINGERS saves 15%) / Walking Pad (for maximum productivity at home on cold winter days) / Madeline Moves App Subscription (The workouts I’ve been absolutely loving! They feel purposeful, effective and so well done. The app subscription price is also extremely reasonable.) / Garmin Lily Smartwatch (I hate the way most fitness watches look so masculine but this one is pretty enough for me to feel like I can leave it on with cute outfits, too. I’ve been using it for more than a year and love it.) / Reebok Nano Sneakers (my fav for strength training) / Amazon Sports Bra (The one we all adore! 10/10 quality, especially at this price point) / Outlive (a fascinating book about longevity and optimizing our health) / Time-Stamp Water Bottle (truly the only way I can get myself to drink enough water) / Resistance Loop Workout Bands (I use these in nearly every workout) / lululemon Align Leggings (A huge hit with so many people for yearsss for good reason.) / Gold Step Counter Watch (the watch that keeps track of your steps but doesn’t look the least bit like a fitness watch — only $26!) / Hip Thrust Belt (to make it easier to use heavy weights during glute bridges/hip thrusters)

For anyone blessed with a passion for organization, a gift to help them feel organized at home or to help organize their life in general might be appreciated!
For travel:
Parallelle Makeup Bag (Stores toiletries vertically — genius! — and looks gorgeous, too!) / Jewelry Organization Favorites (I swear by these velvet pouches to store individual pieces + this velvet jewelry roll is the ultimate necklace organizer) / Bose Ultra Quiet Comfort Headphones (I use mine every single day. The sound quality is amazing and they feel like little pillows on my ears. They also sell them refurbished to save some money!) / Cadence Travel System (their leak-proof capsules make it easy to travel with your favorite toiletries + the new merlot holiday collection is gorgeous + I have my eye on the compact set) / Calpak Travel Duffle Backpack (As a carry-on whenever possible girl, this has been on my wish list ever since I saw it hold a ton and work great as an under-the-seat carry-on paired with a traditional carry-on to let you pack as much as possible without checking a bag. I love the red!!) / Portable Charger (I like that the cords are visible on this one!) / Collapsible Storage Tote (A million and one uses and a favorite for travel. We use this for everything from snacks and toys to a place for dirty clothes when we travel.)
For motherhood:

For the home:
Tupperware Lid Storage (a game changer for organized food storage) / Joseph Laundry Hamper (Is it weird to get excited about a laundry hamper? Maybe but this one is the BEST! It has separate compartments for sorting and you can take each one out individually.) / Bed Sheet Organizers (I bought these when we were hosting so many women in our home for my mom’s 70th and I was overwhelmed trying to figure out which spare sheets went on what bed. Now I always know!) / Entry Way Organizer (We have this one to hang keys and Pepper’s leashes on and it’s stunning) / Clear Drawer Organizers (perfect for odds and ends)

Beauty Splurges:
Parallelle Makeup Bag (pretty enough to leave out on her vanity! Stores toiletries vertically which is genius as it makes them much easier to find.)/ Current Body LED Red Light Face Mask (the gold standard red light mask for anti-aging + many other benefits — look at the before/afters!!! It’s fantastic and is one of the only red light masks out there to offer 3 highly precise wavelength including deep near-infrared (1072nm) — super important to get the most bang for your buck, especially on such a big purchase. I use mine multiple times a week.) / ZIIP Microcurrent Facial Toning Device (I was sent this in a PR mailer and blown away. It provides immediate lifting + firming to my face with the added benefits of boosting collage production, fading pigmentation, smoothing fine lines and reducing inflammation over time. It’s a splurge but having used it for nearly a year, it’s something I stand by and use almost every single day. Code PBFINGERS save 20%)
Skincare:
Biossance Squalane + Copper Peptide Plumping Serum (one of those clean beauty skincare items you apply for the long-term benefits — reducing fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dullness, etc. — but it has the MAJOR added benefit of instantly making your skin appear plump, brighter and more youthful) / FRE Skincare Vitamin C (my favorite daily-use vitamin C serum that feels amazing and light on the skin — code PBFINGERS saves 50%!!) / Dr. Brandt Dermal Micro Points (this stuff is wild! It mimics in-office microneedling without needles. You’ll feel it working immediately — it’s mildly uncomfortable — as natural spicules work their magic to allow anti-wrinkle peptides to penetrate the skin’s surface for deep delivery into your skin. It’s nuts and I love it!) / Cleanse + Glow Gift Set (This set has a little bit of everything!) / ELEMIS Resurfacing Pads (I know myself enough by now to know I won’t wash my face in the morning but I will use one of these pads every single day after I wake up.) / Rejuvenating Gel Under Eye Patches (these have great reviews for instant revitalization) / Revision YouthFull Lip Treatment (so smooth and seems to really work — I apply before bed every night)

Hanni Splash Salve (the BEST in-shower moisturizer for ultimate skin hydration) / Salt & Stone Deodorant + Mini Body Mist Set (love this lil’ duo of my fav deodorant + body mist!! The santal vetiver + saffron & cedar scents are my favorites) / Oak Essentials Dew Body Oil (the BEST and combines so well with their Luminous Body Lotion for seriously luxurious moisturizing in such a lovely, light, spa-like scent) / KOBA Bottom Up Foot Cream (I swear by a pumice stone + this foot cream for saving my cracked heels) / Salt & Stone Body Mist Discovery Set (so she can find her perfect scent — I also love this size for keeping in my purse + car)
Nails:
KUR Illuminating Nail Concealer (Truly a miracle in a bottle! I believe it is worth every penny because it really does have the most incredible blurring effect over bumps and ridges. It instantly makes nails look 10 times healthier. I like it best when I take the time to apply three coats of the “milky” shade. Bonus: It’s non-toxic!) / OPI Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around (For those needing a break from dark winter nails, this is the perfect fall/winter pink with the most subtle gray undertones. I LOVE it.)
Makeup Extras:
Tower 28 Eyelash Curler (works like a dream) / Kabuki Makeup Brush (Under $10 and great for applying everything from tinted SPF to foundation to concealer) / Tweezerman Eyelash Comb (my favorite for separating eyelashes after mascara for a natural yet fluffy, voluminous look) / Light-Up Travel Mirror (I use this when I travel but also at the kitchen counter when I want to do my makeup while the boys eat breakfast. So handy!)
Hair:
ROZ Root Lift Spray (hugely helpful for those with flat, lifeless hair) / Tangle Teezer Hairbrush (incredible at gently gliding through knots) / Robe Curls (wrap your hair before sleep and wake up to heatless waves!) / Oribe Texturizing Spray (hugely helpful for adding style + grit to my otherwise super-soft, fine hair) / Living Proof Triple Bond Complex (I use this in my hair post-shower to increase the strength of my hair) / Crown Affair XL Silk Scrunchie (I sleep in mine every night — great for extending your style/waves without creases) / Nutrafol (the hair growth supplement everyone is going nuts for — they also have a formula targeted specifically to typical postpartum hair concerns)
Makeup Favorites:
PUR Fully Charged Eyelash Primer (clean beauty find that majorly enhances eyelashes when applied before my mascara) / No Makeup Makeup (my dream makeup!! Looks and feels SO natural!) / ELEMIS Superfood Primer (a favorite of mine for years — brightens and primes the skin before applying makeup)
