Your mother, your mother-in-law, your sister, your friends; there are lots of women to shop for on your list! Women are not always easy to shop for, but I have some great gift ideas for you!

Gifts for the girl on the go:
I love these canvas totes for just about everything! We have them in a few sizes and color combinations and they are so handy. I like these totes best because they have inside pockets AND an outside slip pocket as well! Pick a fun color combination and monogram it with her initials or family’s last name. As a bonus, you can skip a gift bag and use it to bag up her presents!
I don’t go anywhere without a big water cup and this Stanley cup is .. well, it’s the Stanley Cup of water cups LOL!
Another one of my favorite gift ideas is this set of personalized packing cubes! This is something that is a total game-changer for travel but something most people wouldn’t think to buy for themselves! This set even has a shoe bag and a laundry bag.
I feel like AirTags are something that everyone needs. I’m not particularly forgetful, but we have a 4-pack I’m planning on using in our checked luggage for Christmas travel– and one I’m going to put in a shipped box of gifts!
Self-care gift ideas:
I love a gifting theme, so I love this idea of a self-care basket! My favorite hand creams would pair great with a set or two of Color Street nail polish strips. Have you tried these? They’re a game changer. Before kids, I’d get a gel manicure every 3-4 weeks and it was my “me time.” Now, I’m lucky if I get to use the bathroom alone LOL! Color Street is dry nail polish in a strip form, so you stick the polish to your nail and trim the excess. It’s dry so if you need to change a diaper or grab a snack, you won’t ruin your nails! It’s also super quick and relaxing to do, so I can knock out a mani AND a sandwich during nap!
A few years ago, my husband got me this fancy shower oil and I fell in love with it. It smells and feels luxurious and it makes even a quick shower feel like a pampering spa moment. It ended up being the gift that keeps on giving because he now gets me a refill pouch for Christmas every year! I love that I get to have more (LOL) while also being more economical and keeping plastic out of the landfill!
While the women in our life deserve a facial every day, it’s not exactly possible. But you CAN gift her with a facial steamer to give them the next best thing: a spa at home! If she’s more of a practical lady, I LOVE my LumiSpa! I use mine every day in the shower and it deep cleans my skin but doesn’t over-clean it, you know? DM my friend Caitlin to get one of your very own.
Gifts for the early bird:
Do you need to microwave your coffee two or three times before you finish it? Help her avoid reheating her coffee with a smart mug! This mug keeps her drink at her desired temperature for 80 minutes, or all day if she leaves it on the coaster. We are living in the future LOL! There is also a travel mug version if she’s a road warrior.
I love this Morning Person pullover! It’s not exactly applicable for me (somewhere my husband is laughing in agreement!) but for those who ARE morning people, it’s a great gift idea.
Pair the pullover with some books for a quiet moment before the kids are up! Own Your Morning, Mom Heart Moments devotional, or a Five-Minute Journal are all great choices.
Mom life gift ideas:
Mom life means never having enough hands. Or pockets. I have heard so many rave reviews about this belt bag (not a “fanny pack,” capiche?) and really want one for myself!
I’m not an early bird, and the dark winter makes it even harder for me to get going in the morning. I am forever indebted to my sunrise alarm clock! This one not only replicates sunrise but also sunset and has guided meditations for winding down at the end of a long day. It might sound gimmicky but it really works and sets a positive tone for getting up with my kids!
Nothing is better for chasing littles around the playground than some fun, stylish sneakers! I think these are just about the cutest-but-functional sneakers I’ve seen!
And rounding out my “mom uniform” are a good pair of leggings and a fun mom shirt. These are my favorite leggings; they feel just like the Lululemon Aligns but a fraction of the price AND they have pockets! I love fun and meaningful “mom shirts” like the ones found here— and as a bonus, a portion of every sale goes to charity!
Sentimental gifts:
We are gifting Storyworth to both sets of grandparents. Storyworth emails a story prompt every week and your recipient replies with a story from their life. At the end of the year, their stories are compiled into a beautiful hardcover book. They can add more stories or pictures to their book and it is a wonderful keepsake! I’m excited to read their stories! This link will save you $10.
I have one of these mugs for myself and I love it! I have Grace on one side and Jack on the other and every time I see it in the cabinet it makes me smile. Grandparents would love this as well! You can have up to three dog or baby faces.
As I mentioned in my husband gift guide, I made a “throwback” calendar for my husband to have at work. Each month has pictures of us from the previous year. I think he’ll love it but I think it would be an equally great gift idea for grandparents or anyone who might not get to see you as often as they’d like!
What are you getting the women in your life? Which of these ideas was your favorite?
