No Pajama Mama’s Go-To Gift Guide: Fabulous Gift Finds For The Women in Your Life
I have 3 sisters, 5 sister-in-laws, a mother, and a mother-in-law. All with their own interests, their own styles, their own sizes. You could fairly say that I have had some women in my life to shop for. And as well as I know and love these women, come December, something in my brain just shuts down trying to come up with gift ideas. Being a mom at Christmastime is a full-and-a-half-time job. Not only are we busy playing Kris Kringle himself, we are creating the magic of Christmas for them one song, sweater, and Santa mall visit at a time. Our minds have run out of room for much else.
I’ve curated a list of fail-proof gift ideas that would please any lovely lady at an array of price points, that they actually might not already own! I can personally attest I would be thrilled to receive any of these (hint loved ones, hint). So if you’re living total mom brain in the month of December like me and need inspiration to get rolling on the gift buying, check out some of these items. Maybe you’ll get a little of that shopping time back to spend with your kids and your egg nog.
All gifts are size free and sure to please even the most discerning of gift accepters. I have listed all at full prices, but there are some good sales out there so don’t waste any time- get shopping!!!
The Towel Scrunchie
This unassuming hair piece is amazing- notably reduces the drying time of my hair and stops frizz acquired during air drying- practical and cute to boot! Perfect as an add on, or paired with the blow dryer below! Shout out to my mother-in-law Janie for gifting me this one!
The Wine Tumbler
For the social drinker. She’s bouncing around life and doesn’t want to miss a sip or risk a spill while doing it. Pair with a nice bottle of wine for a gift she’ll really indulge in!
The Candle
The Capri Blue candle lives on and on and on season after season for a reason. It is amazingly effective at filling up a house with a fragrance that is agreeable to all. In beautiful tins, this candle serves as a lovely decor piece as well.
The Mini Hair Dryer
A hair dryer, really? Hear me out. Getting to a hotel only to be met with a hair dryer that has the motor of a toy plane is a universal woman experience. I used to take up a quarter of my suitcase with a full sized blow dryer in anticipation. Then my brother, having lived the pain of losing suitcase space with his own fiance, gifted me this powerful little number. With a surprising amount of oomph for its travel-friendly size, your recipient won’t believe they didn’t own it already.
The “Coffee Table” Book
I’m not a big coffee table book for the sake of coffee table books person- but I love this book. Its a fun and interesting read that is suitable for people of all design tastes. I’ve gotten much out of it myself, and it looks pretty on my coffee table! Pair with a nice bag of coffee or tea and a darling monogram letter mug.
The Fur Scarf
Cozy and warm and goes with everything. What’s not to like about that? Fur is not only having a fashion moment on the runways, but its totally practical for those wintertime temperatures.
The Sparkly Bracelet
Glittering with sparkly Swarovski crystals, this bracelet from the iconic jewelry brand doesn’t even feel like you’re wearing a bracelet. The style is edgy and feminine all in one. Perfect for the woman working on her computer who doesn’t want to listen to bangle jangles all day, or the new mom who wants all the look but is weary of catching the baby with metals!
The Tech Organizer
Know someone who’s tush has a permanent imprint on the local coffee shop arm chair? In an unprecedented time of working remote, our power cords have never been so important- or frustrating. A pretty little case that makes work life both simple and stylish is the perfect gift.
The Everyday Pendant
She’s not flashy, but details are minded. Simple elegance fits every outfit, and this gem will get worn again and again.
The Make-Up Organizer
Perfect for the beauty buff, or any woman who is traveling! Give them a step up from the jumbled up fishing in a bag make-up ritual with a delightfully pretty proper organizer.
The Slippers
If you’re going to do slippers, you got to do them right. They should be a treat for your feet- and we all know Uggs are the queen of that. Neutrals are safe, but a fun pop color or print is perfectly acceptable for slippers (since they should NOT leave the house)!
The Jewelry Case
Whether flying for a business trip or visiting grandchildren, a stylish lady always has a smattering of jewelry in tow. Jewelry however can be a traveling nuisance- tangled necklaces and studs that slip out into some corner of the suitcase are the regular. A lovely case keeps their valuables secure and easy to assess at dressing time when on the go!
The Beauty Set
Help her look as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside this holiday season. This cohesive collection features universally flattering hues and is by a respected and dependable female beauty designer.
The Mittens
Luxurious leather, plush interior, and I can unzip to easily drive, check my phone, or hold a little hand more securely. These mittens are just cool. She might have gloves, but she doesn’t have gloves like these!
The Classic Tote
I mean, you can’t go wrong here. The brand is classically chic, the style is easy breezy, and its so travel friendly with its light and packable construction. You’re going to get a smile with this one.
