It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and it’s time for another gift guide! Here I have curated 15 of the best gift ideas for any woman on your list. Trust me, she would love to receive any of these!
[1] 2022 LIFEPLANNER
ERIN CONDREN
The Erin Condren LifePlanner has been a staple of mine for over five years. We all have someone in our life who loves to plan and write everything down. A 2022 LifePlanner is the perfect way to help them stay organized in the new year. Planner accessories and notebooks from Erin Condren also make an amazing gift! Other than the LifePlanner, my favorite EC products are their colorful pens and 7″ x 9″ coiled notebooks. You can even go the extra mile and personalize a cover for whoever you are shopping for – the possibilities are endless! Shop the Erin Condren LifePlanner here and accessories here.
[2] CUSTOM BAR NECKLACE + DISCO CHAIN NECKLACE + BONNIE NECKLACE
OXB JEWELRY
Jewelry is always a solid gift idea. I absolutely hate having to take off my jewelry to shower and workout, so I always buy pieces from companies like OXB that will stand the test of time. OXB is known for their beautiful, high quality sweatproof jewelry – yes, sweatproof as in it can be worn while you sweat and in the shower without damage! OXB has tons of jewelry in different price ranges, and some items even have the option for personalization. In the above photo, the Bonnie Necklace is the one with the tag and the letter “M” (I gave this one to my sister Madison), the Disco Chain Necklace is the one with tiny little circles chained together, and the third necklace is the Custom Bar Necklace personalized with my wedding date in roman numerals. Shop OXB jewelry here!
[3] WISCONSIN PENNANT
YOHO & CO.
Pennant flags are great for hanging in an apartment, home, or even a dorm. The beautifully intricate pennants from Yoho & Co. are the most amazing ones I’ve ever seen. The quality and attention to detail is insane considering how affordable they are! The owner Jessy hand makes each pennant with love. There are over 200 unique designs available, from Great Lakes to National Parks and more! Of course one of my favorites is the Wisconsin Pennant. Shop Yoho & Co. pennants online here and also at The Local Store, a brick-and-mortar shop in Eau Claire, WI.
[4] GLASS COFFEE TUMBLER
FRECKLE & CHAIN
I get so excited when I come across cute shops like Freckle + Chain! Their “Cool AF Beer Glass” tumbler has become my new cup of choice. It has the cutest Diptyque-inspired label on the front and comes with a glass straw so you can feel good about your environmental impact when you sip your morning latte! Freckle & Chain is a Los Angeles-based environmentally responsible small business that offers beautiful, functional accessories. You can learn more about Freckle + Chain’s sustainability efforts here. Aside from the “Cool AF Beer Glass” tumbler, they sell jewelry, stickers, paper goods, apparel, and more! Not pictured, but another favorite of mine is their “LA Iced Coffee” Sticker; like I’ve said many times, a girl can never have too many stickers! Shop Freckle & Chain here.
[5] TRAVEL DUFFEL + XL CAMPUS BACKPACK + SMALL BACKPACK
VERA BRADLEY
It’s a dream to have cultivated a relationship with Vera Bradley through my blog over the past few years! Vera Bradley is a brand so many of us (including me) have grown up loving. They are known for their fun, colorful designs, but in the last few years they have also released solid colors! Now you can get the same high-quality bags and backpacks you love in fun patterns or solid colors. Pretty much every time I leave the house, I have a Vera Bradley tote, duffel, or backpack in hand. Anything on their site would make an amazing gift, but if you’re not sure what to give someone, a Vera Bradley backpack, tote, or duffel is always a safe bet! These gifts are especially great for frequent travelers, college students, and teachers. The Large Travel Duffel pictured above is from their Recycled Cotton collection in the color Cardinal Red. The Small Backpack in the above photo is Performance Twill in the color Tranquil Gray, and the XL Campus Backpack shown above is in Performance Twill Black. Shop Vera Bradley here!
[6] MARBLE CAN COOLER + LEOPARD TUMBLER
BRUMATE
Brumate is one of my favorite brands, and their products make amazing gifts for anyone. Not only do they have tons of can coolers in every size (like the Marble Hopsulator Bott’l), but they also offer pint tumblers, insulated wine glasses, water bottles, flasks, lowball tumblers, and more! Also pictured above is the 20oz. Leopard Imperial Pint, which is great for mixed drinks or a cup of coffee. Brumate products come in a variety of designs and solid colors, so you’re sure to find something for everyone on your list. Shop Brumate here!
[7] LEATHER KEY RING
LAKE EFFECT CO.
This leather dipped keychain is a beautiful, simple gift idea. The dipped accent color makes it stand out from other leather keychains, and the short hand-stamped phrase “Make Waves” is perfect for fellow lake-lovers. There are over 10 sayings available and several different dipped colors to choose from. Lake Effect Co. also donates Plus, you can feel good about shopping small! Shop the Leather Key Ring from Lake Effect Co. here!
[8] APPALACHIAN ANIMALS BANDANA + NPS MAP TEE
THE LANDMARK PROJECT
The Landmark Project is a sustainable brand with fun National Park themed apparel and accessories. Two of my go-two gifts for outdoor-loving friends are the Appalachian Animals Bandana and NPS Map Tee! Bandanas are great because they have so many uses. They can be worn as a neck scarf, face mask, headband, or tied on a tote bag. The Landmark Project’s NPS Map Tee is a simple comfy tee with a map of US National Parks screen-printed on the front. It might just become your new favorite tee! Shop The Landmark Project here.
[9] MONOGRAMMED GROCERY TOTE
THE LETTER GARDEN
This soft but strong high-quality canvas tote is perfect for folding up and shoving in a bag or leaving in your car. Like the name implies, it’s great for carrying groceries, but it also has about a million other uses. The handles are super durable and can withstand carrying around college textbooks! The single initial monogram is a simple detail that adds so much to the bag. It’s a great gift for your sister, a college student, or on-the-go friend! Shop the Monogrammed Grocery Tote from The Letter Garden here!
[10] BAMBOO THROW BLANKET
SIMPLY ORGANIC BAMBOO
A girl can never have too many blankets, especially when they’re blankets made from bamboo! The Simply Organic Bamboo Throw Blanket (pictured above in the Soft Oat color) has become a staple in our home. It’s large enough to keep you covered up (63″x51”) and cozy but also lightweight. The throw is 100% viscose from organically-grown bamboo and it honestly feels like butter on your skin. It definitely makes it hard to get off the couch! The texture and weight of this throw makes it great to curl up with year-round! Shop throw blankets from Simply Organic Bamboo here.
[11] WINE SUBSCRIPTION
WINC WINE
There’s nothing better to see under the tree than a wine subscription from Winc! Wine lovers will adore this gift – it’s truly the gift that keeps on giving. You have probably heard of Winc, the online wine delivery company. They have over 200 bottles of the Internet’s favorite wines to choose from and create your own wine subscription. Restocking your wine collection without having to leave the house?! Yes please!
Each month, you can choose four bottles of wine for only $24.95 (plus free shipping)! You might be like me and not really know much about wine, but luckily Winc has a really awesome 1-minute quiz that recommends wines for you based on your answers. I can tell you from experience that the quiz is spot on! It helped me choose four bottles for myself, and all of them were amazing. Winc takes the intimidation out of trying new wines and is a super affordable way to try a wide variety of wines. There is no monthly membership fee, and you can skip any month and cancel any time. Shop Winc here!
[12] GRATITUDE JOURNAL + LOVE STORY JOURNAL
PROMPTLY JOURNALS
I absolutely love the concept behind Promptly Journals. Their products offer a beautiful, affordable way to capture beautiful life moments through their journals. My two favorites that make great gifts are the Gratitude Journal (shown above in the Wheat color) and the Love Story Journal (shown above in the Sand color). The Gratitude Journal is a simple activity for the person who wants to bring more gratitude into their life and reflect on positive moments and experiences; inside are 52 weeks of prompts and weekly exercises.
The Love Story Journal is made for couples that wants to “keep track of their love story, from the firsts to the lasts”. This is an amazing gift for recently engaged couples or newlyweds (or even people who have been married for 20+ years)! Nick and I are currently working through this journal and putting our love story on paper. If you want more information, you can click here (Gratitude Journal) and here (Love Story Journal) to see a full walkthrough video of the inside pages for each product. Shop Promptly Journals here and also on Amazon here!
[13] MONOGRAMMED BUCKET HAT
THE LETTER GARDEN
Bucket hats are a summertime staple, so now is the perfect time to gift your friend a new one. The 100% cotton twill Bucket Hat from The Letter Garden is just what every boat-loving lady needs for the summer. Monogramming adds an extra level of personalization and thought, and The Letter Garden makes it super easy to customize a variety of gifts (including the bucket hat pictured above)! The Bucket Hat comes in six different colors and has nearly endless monogram personalization options. Plus, it rings in at only $18. It’s so cute that you’ll want to snag one for yourself too! Shop The Letter Garden Bucket Hat here.
[14] EDDY+ BOTTLE AND CARRY CAP BOTTLE
CAMELBAK
CamelBak makes the best of the best water bottles! I have personally been using the same CamelBak water bottle since I was a freshman in college 8 years ago and has really held up over the years. Their affordable water bottles make it easy to ditch single-use plastic bottles and take a step toward reducing your environmental impact. Plus, they are a cute accessory! Everybody drinks water, so everybody would love receiving a CamelBak bottle for a gift. Three of my favorites (pictured above) are the Amethyst 20oz. eddy+ Bottle, Clear 25oz. Carry Cap Bottle, and the Rose 32oz. eddy+ Bottle. Most CamelBak water bottles are extremely affordable at under $25! Shop CamelBak water bottles here.
[15] “ARUBA” CANDLE
GETAWAY CANDLE CO.
One of the things I love most about candles is how their scent can transport you back to a memory, time or place. Each of Getaway Candle Co.’s beautiful wax candles is inspired by an iconic travel destination. Nick and I went to Aruba in 2019, and this candle somehow smells exactly like the island and brings back all our great vacation memories. These candles are great for the travel-lover on your list so they can #GetawayAtHome! Especially during this seemingly never-ending pandemic, a candle like this is the perfect pick-me-up. A few of the other destination candles available are: Charleston, Santorini, Banff, and Tulum. The candles are hand-poured right here in the USA, and Getaway Candle Co. offers free shipping with no minimum. Shop all of Getaway Candle Co.’s scents here!
