25+ must-have holiday gifts your bestie will love

If she’s ever looked for nail inspo on Instagram, she’s definitely saved some posts from @TheHangEdit. Created by Hang Nguyen, a celebrity nail artist, it’s a treasure trove of creativity that never disappoints. But here’s the thing–with a little guidance and practice, it’s possible to create those looks herself! Packed inside this stylish deck she’ll find 30 of Nguyen’s trend-setting designs along with step-by-step instructions on how to get the look. There’s also a booklet with a QR code to access exclusive how-to videos in case she needs a little more guidance. If you’re lucky, she’ll perfect her technique and do yours next!

From housing bedside baubles to making her kitchen countertop a little more stylish, we love the versatility of this acrylic tray featuring original artwork from @illucaliart. And because it’s from Society6, you’re also supporting them directly!

Whether she’s finding her way “out of the woods” or living her “wildest dreams,” this beaded bracelet is the perfect reminder to live in the moment through all her eras.

For the bestie who has a calendar reminder for the next Nap Dress drop. Water, coffee, an afternoon cocktail…whatever she’s drinking there’s no vessel more stylish than this limited edition tumbler from two of our favorites. Printed with the sweetest bespoke print from Hill House Home, the insulated W&P tumbler keeps drinks hot or cold for hours.

Friends don’t let friends go without sunscreen–even in the winter months. Ensure she’s making it a habit with this fabulous collab we’re totally over the moon about. Tucked inside an exclusive water-resistant Loveshackfancy wrist pouch she’ll find a collection of Supergoop products to keep her glowy and safe from the rays whether she’s hitting the slopes or making a run to Starbucks. There’s the hydrating Glow Oil, the lightweight (Re)Setting Refreshing Mist to re-up mid-day, the Play Antioxidant Mist, and Unseen Sunscreen –our favorite face sunscreen of all time. She’ll thank you now and she’ll thank you later. Trust.

As the granddaughter of a woman who could have made antiquing an Olympic sport, Frankfort Candle Co. instantly caught my eye. The small, women-owned company sources vintage glassware for their hand-poured candles to create an heirloom that’s truly one-of-a-kind. Not only are the scents luxurious and dreamy, but the crackling sound of the wooden wick is a mood in and of itself. Each unique piece has been loved for generations and can be loved for generations to come. (They’ll even refill it for a small fee!) Prices vary.

She’s set more than one alarm for a Telfar drop. Manages to score the Liberty advent calendar year after year. She’s a woman with her finger on the pulse and frankly, getting her a gift is intimidating AF. Here’s what you do. Buy her the best damn cookies she’s ever tasted–ones that require an exclusive password to buy (which we totally have for you!). Handmade in their LA bakery, the luxury cookies from Last Crumb are an experience from start to finish. From the stunning gift-worthy packaging to the mind-blowing flavors like “Better than Sex” (a chocolate chip with chunky salt flakes that’s to die for) calling them “cookies” is almost insulting. A new box with 12 out-of-this-world flavors drops each week. Use our link with the password NEVERCRUMBLE to secure a gift that’s guaranteed to impress (and ruin every other dessert for the rest of her life.)

There’s nothing like the smell of coconut to transport you to the sun-soaked days of a beach vacation. Gift her some TLC with a side of vacay vibes with this set from Mario Badescu which includes their coconut body scrub, body butter and–my personal favorite–spray on body oil. (It’s a dry oil that sinks right in. Dreamy!) It might smell like summer, but it’s the perfect antidote to winter skin.

Though her moments of zen may be few and far between, there’s no reason she can’t maximize the ones she does have. Our suggestion? The Hot & Cold Eye Mask from Ostrichpillow. Pop the gently weighted mask into the microwave or freezer and let it help relieve tension, stress and eye strain. The natural clay beads form to the face to completely block the light so she can immerse herself in that quiet space. Until someone busts into the bathroom where she’s hiding and demands snacks, of course.

For the bestie who’s working on the ultimate ear party, this gorgeous threader will be the pièce de résistance. Made in NYC and designed by vintage-inspired jeweler Erica Weiner, the 14k gold snake features a tiny diamond its head and can be worn through single or multiple holes. I just adore the daintiness which upon closer inspection says, “Go ahead. Mess around and find out.”

Is she a new mom? Yoga obsessed? Simply a person who will appreciate the most comfortable article of clothing that ever existed? This is the gift she needs.  The versatile jumpsuit with its cool drop crotch silhouette can seriously be worn for everything from warrior pose to preschool-drop off. The top is somehow magically supportive enough to forego a bra (I am not that kind of gal ever and this changed everything) but not at all suffocating. You can never go wrong with basic black, but it comes in a bunch of gorgeous colors as well.

From train commutes to long haul flights, the versatile Huzi Infinity Pillow is the travel  accessory she never knew she needed. The scarf-style design can be used in tons of different configurations to make her cozy in practically any scenario (window, aisle, face down on the seat back tray like she’s in high school all over again) and even comes in handy when snuggling at home.

We admit we’re a bit smitten with the female-founded House of Wise. Not only is their hemp organically grown on USDA Organic farms in Denver, Colorado, but their products are so easy to understand and navigate. Case in point, they offer four blends: Stress, Sleep, Strength and Sex–no glossary of terms needed. And while you can’t go wrong with any of them, the Sleep formula is my favorite. For fellow mamas who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, these can feel like little squares of magic. The combination of 25mg of Full Spectrum hemp-derived CBD and 5mg of Melatonin help you unwind within a half hour or so, relaxing both body and mind. Even better, you wake up feeling rested without the grogginess of other sleep aids. Is there a better gift than that? I think not.

A relaxing bath is great, but let’s be real. Motherhood requires far more wake the f up showers, doesn’t it? Complete with body wash, body oil and natural deodorant spray in By Rosie Jane’s signature Wake The F Up scent (a light, citrusy fragrance I adore), this and coffee is all she needs to jumpstart the day.

Incense isn’t exactly known for its giftable packaging but there’s always an exception! I love the glass jars of incense from Paddywax which are fabulous all the way around. The scents are strong enough to fill a room without overpowering and there’s even a convenient hole in the lid that serves as a built-in holder.

Ok, so maybe Harry Styles made it famous, but the plush striped robes from designer Ellen Van Dusen have been on my must-have list for ages. I mean, for one thing, anyone can have a plain white bathrobe. But this? This is so much more fun. The cotton fabric dries you off post shower and two generous pockets mean you can keep wearing it right through Sunday brunch. I mean, WWHD?

Keep her hands and cuticles silky soft all winter long with this divinely-scented cream from Lano. In addition to pure Aussie Lanolin, it’s packed with Vitamin E and Shea Butter to heal and protect even the most chapped skin. The fact it smells like cake is well, the icing on the cake.

The sad thing about Honey Mama’s is that it will 100% ruin your enjoyment of any other chocolate treat on the planet. Their decadent truffle bars make any chocolate you’ve ever had pale in comparison and every time I’ve brought one to a ladies night, someone inevitably asks with a look of pure ecstasy “What IS this?” Not only are they made from just a few all-natural ingredients, but they satisfy a sweet-tooth in a way that feels nourishing instead of sugary. Every single flavor is a total slam dunk (I was surprised to find I absolutely love tahini tangerine) and the variety pack offers an opportunity to explore the spectrum. Gift the whole box or dole them out to only the most deserving on your list!

You may not be yukking it up in a senior community together just yet, but there’s no reason you can’t get prepped and ready to dominate the Pickle Ball courts when you do. After all, it is the fastest growing sport. And for the best reasons–it’s super fun and pretty much anyone can play! Gift her a favorite new hobby with one of the fun doubles sets from Nettie. Not only are they the most stylish paddles out there, the female-founded company was created to spark joy and connection across generations. How much do we love that?

I burn an embarrassing amount of candles. So much so that I’ve now moved on to considering my candle accessories. I just adore the gorgeous simplicity of Skeem Design’s Matches Cloche which marries form and function to sexy up her dresser, mantle or countertop. Sometimes it’s the little things, you know?

As an enthusiast of pretty things that make everyday living a little more elevated, I’ve coveted these Estelle wine glasses for ages. Each one is blown by hand in Poland and even with gas station wine poured inside they look impossibly chic. Might they spend 98% of time safely perched on a shelf? Yes. But that’s fine. They clearly double as an objet d’art.

Give her Airpods a facelift and keep them from wandering too far with this sweet case from Rifle Paper Co. Their floral prints make the perfect gift in any form!

Solve her cord clutter in the most chic way possible. The minimalist catch-all from Courant wirelessly charges her phone or Airpods while also giving other essentials a place to land. It’s ideal for night stands and entry ways but she should know if it’s available to the rest of her family it will be covered in playground rocks and gum wrappers in less than five minutes. (So we’re going with night stand.)

Each of the delicate pieces from Hello Adorn is handmade to order in their small Eau Claire, Wisconsin studio. I love everything but it’s their sweetly stackable rings that I can’t stop buying. Since they’re made from high quality brass coated with a layer of 14k gold, they look and wear just like styles that cost three times as much. Aside from swimming, I never take mine off and they look as good as the day they were made!

Home work out sessions sound daunting. But home stretching sessions? Sign us up. This gift set from Bala includes their Hourglass Roller, 1 set of Balance Blocks, and 1 set of bands Bands all in an exclusive Tiny Tote. She’ll love you for the rest of her life the second she splays herself over that roller, promise.
