The Best Gifts for Her

Today I am sharing the best gifts for her - the moms, mothers-in-law, sisters, friends, or even yourself.

Gift giving is definitely a part of my love language. I love the hunt for the perfect gift, wrapping it up, and giving it to a loved one. So it probably goes without saying that this time of year I look forward to making my gift list and scouring the internets (or sometimes in store - do people still do that?) for the best gifts.

I also love a curated gift guide. These guides can save so much time when searching for the perfect gift for a family member or friend. I find them helpful and I hope you will too.

This guide for her includes items that I have and love, items that are on my list to give this year, and a even a few things that are on my own wish list!

I hope this guide will take some of the stress out of your holiday shopping this year.

So here are some of my favorites - the best gifts for her this holiday season.

How do I choose the best gift?

The best gifts are those that make her feel good and bring her joy. They are gifts that say, 'You know me so well.' They are things she may not buy for herself.

Practical Gifts for Her

Stanley Quencher. These are popular for good reason - they really are great. I didn't buy into the hype until I received one as a gift. The straw and the fact that it fits in my car cupholder are two of my favorite features. They come in lots of colors, and a Stanley would be a great gift for anyone.

Anker Portable Charger. Who doesn't need one of these in their bag? I like that this one is tiny but powerful.

Kindle Paperwhite. If you are looking for a gift for a reader in your life - this is it. My Kindle is one of my favorite things and I almost always have it with me wherever I go. The easiest way to always have a book handy, and perfect for travel.

Cozy Gifts for Her

The Coziest Slippers. I love, love, love these cozy slippers. I gifted them to my kids, husband and myself last year. I bring them on trips and wear them almost daily in the winter. They are kind of like a slipper sock, with grippers on the bottom. Perfect gift for a homebody.

The Softest Robe. Lake makes the softest pajamas and robes. This pima cotton robe would make a wonderful gift.

DreamModal Pajamas. These pajamas, also from Lake, look like a dream.

Crew Neck Sweatshirt. This cozy sweatshirt comes in a variety of colors and locations. I'm partial to the 'East Coast' version. A crew neck sweatshirt and a great pair of denim is my favorite uniform.

Beauty Gifts for Her

Jo Malone Cologne. My hands-down favorite perfume. I just love this scent. All Jo Malone colognes are beautifully packaged and they make wonderful gifts.

Saltair Body Wash. This clean brand has beautiful body washes, and they all smell delicious. This would make a great gift for the beauty-lover in your life, and at a great price point. I also love the idea of this moisturizing body oil for a gift- perfect for the cold winter months.

Ouai St. Barts Body Sugar Scrub. This luxe scrub smells amazing and makes your skin so soft.

Biossance Rapid Radiance Set. I love this clean brand. I especially love the Lactic Acid Night Serum and Omega Repair Cream, both of which are in this set.

LONDONTOWN kur Nail Conceal and Go Set. This nail polish duo is 10/10. It's a nail illuminator that goes on smooth, dries quickly and lasts without chipping for days. I have re-purchased this three times! It's the perfect size for a stocking stuffer, and pick one up for yourself, too!

Small (But Thoughtful) Gifts for Her

Mama Necklace. I have and love this sweet 'Mama' necklace. It would make a great gift for any mom, but super special for a new mom.

Holiday in the City Stoneware Mugs. These beautiful mugs (you can choose different cities) would make a great little gift.

Puzzle. Perfect for a winter night in, these puzzles are reasonably priced and come in several different really cute prints.

The Art of Home Book. I have and love this beautiful coffee table book. Gift it to the person who loves home interiors.

GoNanas Banana Bread Mixes. These mixes come in such fun flavors, and they would look adorable with a bread pan or mixing bowl and spoon. They are gluten free, vegan, nut-free, and women owned. (You can use code PAMELA for 10% off)

Luxe Gifts for Her

MZ Wallace Large Tote. These bags are amazing. I use mine all the time - both day-to-day and for travel. It's large and holds a TON. It has a lot of pockets and a zipper top. It's pricey but high-quality - you'll reach for it again and again.

Birkenstock Shearling Lined Clogs. I love my Birkenstock clogs so much. This pair is shearling lined - the ultimate in comfort.

Spanx Air Essentials. I am obsessed with this half zip sweatshirt and with the matching pants. It's elevated comfort. This outfit is perfect for travel, or for whenever you want to feel cozy yet still polished.

Happy shopping!

Those are some of my personal favorite gifts for her. I hope you find something you love and you can cross some names off of your holiday shopping list.
