Holiday Gift Guide for Her

Another day, another gift guide – welcome to this year’s Holiday Gift Guide for Her! As I always like to say at the beginning of my holiday gift guide blogs, just because the title of this blog says “for her”, I encourage you to shop for anyone from this gift guide — all that matters is if they’ll love it!

When creating this year's gift guide, the word “cozy” kept coming to mind. I’m not sure if it’s because the winter’s where I live are brutal, and all I want to do is stay inside and be cozied up on my couch, or if it’s because I just love a good oversized sweater and comfy boots – maybe it’s a bit of both! But regardless, this gift guide is perfect for those who are searching for the coziest of gifts to give this year.

1. SWEATER

I mean, I don’t think it comes as a surprise if you follow me on Instagram I love a good sweater, especially if it’s cream or white! If you live in a cold climate, I can promise a big, snuggly sweatshirt, sweater or hoodie would be a loved gift this holiday season.

2. SET OF MUGS

Now, I’m not sure about you, but as much as I love a cute, seasonal mug, I have recently found myself becoming obsessed with a matching set of plain mugs for daily use. My personal favourites are these ones from Fable!

3. PERFUME

Just because you’re all snuggled up at home doesn’t mean you can’t smell your best! If your loved one has a signature scent, or is on the hunt for one, why not gift them a beautiful perfume this holiday season?

4. AIRPODS

One of my absolute favourite purchases of 2023 was my AirPods Max headphones, but since those are maybe just a bit too pricey to include on this gift guide, the new AirPods Pro with USB-C charging are the perfect gift to give to just about anyone this year.

5. A HOLIDAY ROMANCE BOOK

Reading has become one of my favourite things to do in my spare time in the last year, and all of that started last holiday season, while I was sick as a dog, reading through three holiday romance books. Why not share the love?!

6. HIGHTLIGHTER

Shopping for a makeup lover? One of the best makeup products I’ve purchased this year is the Rare Beauty highlighter. You hardly need to dip your brush in the product for some of the most beautiful, glowy, highlighted skin I’ve ever seen!

7. STANLEY CUP

Now I just know at least one of you reading this blog has one of these cups close by! The Stanley tumblers really went viral on TikTok this year, and at their relatively high price point, there’s lots of people who’d love one but can’t justify it, making it the perfect gift for this holiday season.

8. PHONE CASE

One of my favourite things to include on every gift guide ever is a cute phone case, because honestly, who doesn’t love a cute phone case?! Form & function are equally important, and this adorable floral case checks both boxes.

9. CHAI CANDLE

One of my absolute favourite candles ever, ever, ever is the chai candle from Mala the Brand. If you’re shopping for someone who loves a spicy scent (pairs well with the holiday romance book!), this candle is the perfect gift for them!

10. SHERPA BELT BAG

In 2022, the infamous Lululemon belt bag really took off as one of the hottest products to have, and this sherpa version is no exception. I got myself the black 2L version for our European honeymoon this past summer, and I think it might be time I add the sherpa one to my collection for the winter months…

11. MAGSAFE PHONE & APPLE WATCH CHARGER

I am a huge fan of a tech product holiday gift, and this dual charger is perfect for the Apple lover who has an iPhone (iPhone 12, or newer!), and an Apple Watch that they charge daily. This stand is particularly perfect for iOS 17, allowing for optimal use of the new StandBy mode feature.

12. PLATFORM UGG BOOTS

Am I 16 again? Ugg boots are back baby, and I could not be happier about it. I remember rocking these booties everywhere as a teenager, and I am thrilled that they’re back in style. I’m wholeheartedly obsessed with the platform boots, especially as a shorter girl myself, but any style of these boots are sure to make for an amazing gift this year!

13. LOUNGE PANTS

I said the theme of this gift guide was cozy, and I didn’t come to play! Who wouldn’t love a pair of cute & snuggly lounge pants as a gift this holiday season!? (The answer is no one — everyone would love this!), and the best part is that they’re equally cute as they are cozy!

Well, there you have it! This marks the completion of the 2023 Holiday Gift Guide for Her! Every year, I’m always shocked at how quickly the holiday season creeps up on us, and yet, it keeps coming faster & faster, so I’m not sure why I’m so surprised… Don’t forget to check out this year’s Canadian Small Shop Holiday Gift Guide before you head out!
