TeriLyn’s Favorite Things: The Best Christmas Gifts for Women

I love love love making gift guides for ladies. It’s probably the easiest guide I make each year since I just compile my own Christmas list or a list of things I own and LOVE. This year, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite fashion finds (but don’t worry, the sizing is easy!) and a few beauty essentials that I love and use daily. If you’re anything like me, you use gift guides like this to inform your OWN wishlist, so hopefully, something on this list catches your eye, and you can send the link to this blog post to your elves.

I HIGHLY recommend shopping early this year to make sure you can get gifts under the tree in time. I also love to shop early every year so that I can enjoy it so much more and can focus more on enjoying the holiday season once it arrives. And many of the gifts below are discounted this week for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which is another great reason to place your orders sooner rather than later!

I always get questions about the sweater I’m wearing in the photo above, and while it’s sold out, I linked my favorite Fair Isle-inspired sweaters in this roundup here for you!

The Best Christmas Gifts for Women

1 – Luxury Pajamas

One of my favorite go-tos for holiday gifts for women is a set of luxury pajamas. I have two preferences when it comes to brands – and both make fantastic gifts since they’re pricey and not likely something you’d buy for yourself on a whim (but if you did, I’m not judging).

The first brand is LAKE Pajamas. LAKE makes the softest products in the prettiest prints and colors in classic styles. I own about 6-7 sets of their PJs, a couple nightgowns and two of their robes, no lie. Any set of their pajamas in the DreamModal fabric is a perfect gift. The DreamModal PJs run true to size and don’t shrink in the wash. However, the LAKE Pima Cotton sets do shrink in the wash, so size up in those. You could go the Pima Bundle route if you weren’t sure if the recipient preferred pants or shorts to sleep. Read my full blog post review on LAKE Pajamas here.

The other brand of luxury pajamas that I love is Lunya. They make washable silk pajamas that feel like butter. LAKE doesn’t do silk, so it’s fun to have a different option. I truly love both, and I think it’s fun to have two different types to rotate throughout the week. If you go the Lunya route, I own and love the Washable Silk Hight Rise Pant Set and the Washable Silk Tulip Back Set.

Any fancy set of PJs will make a perfect gift on their own, but if you wanted to take it up a notch, you could pair the PJ set with a nice body scrub, a fancy candle, or super fancy slippers. (I was gifted these last year and love them SO MUCH.)

2 – Weezie Bathrobe

Along those same lines, a fancy bathrobe makes a wonderful gift (and makes sizing really simple – bathrobes are extremely forgiving). I own a ton of robes, but my two favorites are from Weezie. Weezie is known for their ultra-soft towels, but they make amazing bathrobes for both the warm and cool months. And they have many personalization options, which makes a gift even more special.

Their Long Lightweight Robe is a great year-round weight with long sleeves and a longer length. The Short Signature Robe is my favorite option for getting ready since it’s short-sleeved and short (great for when you get hot blow-drying your hair). The Long Signature Robe is their most luxe, thick, long-sleeved option.

I love the idea of a simple initial or monogram for a gift, or if you know the recipient well and could add a nickname, that’s a fun idea, too. I had “introvert” embroidered on my most recent Weezie purchase.

3 – Shearling Moroccan Slippers

I was gifted these Jenni Kayne Shearling Moroccan Slippers a year or two ago, and I still can’t believe how nice of a gift they are. They are by FAR the most luxurious thing I’ve ever put on my feet, and because the bottoms are not made to go outside, they’ve stayed in great condition since I’m not taking the trash out in them, etc.

The incredible thing is that while they’re super cozy and warm, my feet don’t seem to sweat in these slippers. I’ve gifted these to friends of mine over the years because they’ve still one of the best gifts I’ve ever received.

4 – Ninja Creami

I was gifted a Ninja Creami last year and let me just say, it’s so fun. Appliances like this aren’t something I’d typically buy for myself, but we have had the best time using it as a family to make sorbet, ice cream, frozen yogurt, you name it.

I always say that skincare and makeup products are fun to receive on Christmas since you can use them right away, and the Ninja Creami is the same. It’s something fun to break out on Christmas day and use together. Plus, you can get really creative with how you use it year-round.

5 – Bible Illuminated Sets

I have LOVED these individually bound journal-style books of the Bible. I don’t love to lug my massive Bible to church each week because it’s so heavy, but these are small, practical to take with you in your purse, and they’re beautifully designed. I used to order the book of whatever we were going through that season at Church, but it’s cheaper to order the set.

I love that you can take notes directly in them and that the translation is ESV.

6 – Custom Initial Bracelet Stack

I own and LOVE these gold beaded bracelets. They’re super high quality and the shop owner is so kind. This is a perfect small business to support. Her Instagram is linked here.

7 – New Balance 327 Sneakers

The shoe of the year is this pair of 327 sneakers from New Balance. Every year, there’s a pair of sneakers that the world falls in love with (and that sell out SO fast), and this year, it’s the New Balance 327. They’re cute enough to wear with casual jeans, but they’re comfortable and sporty enough to wear with athleisure or all-day traveling. I wear a 1/2 size up from my regular shoe size, and they’re SO comfortable.

8 – Ember Coffee Mug

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably expect to see the Ember Mug on this gift guide list. I talk about this self-heating mug all the time. I got hooked on it as a new mom since my coffee always got cold before I could finish it and now 4 years later, it’s still the only mug I use.

It comes with a charger that looks like a coaster that the mug goes on to charge. Once it’s fully charged, the self-warming puck built into the mug lasts for hours without needing to go back on the charging coaster. You can customize the heat settings through the Ember app, too! I LOVE this mug and can’t drink my coffee without it now.

I have the 14oz size and think it’s far superior to the 10oz.

9 – Mejuri Bold Pearl Huggie Earrings

For the jewelry-loving gals in your life, the Mejuri Bold Pearl Huggies make a great gift. They’re such a fun way to dress up an otherwise plain earring. The pearl detail is just the right size and can be styled with anything in my closet. I love that they’re $88 because they feel like something I can wear more casually. These are made with gold vermeil.

If you prefer something a little more personal, this “mama” initial necklace from Hart Studio is a great gift idea. I was gifted this last year and wear it a few times a week at least. And I can add a second initial for baby #2’s name whenever I’d like, which is so special.

10 – Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker

A Nespresso is a great gift for any coffee lover (along with that Ember Mug). I got one a few years ago when I decided to cut back on caffeine. I was drinking 8 cups of coffee a day, and one of the contributing factors was that I was making a full pot of coffee each morning. The Nespresso makes one cup at a time which helped me limit how much I was drinking + made my one (or two, let’s be honest) cup of coffee so much better. I also appreciate the half caff pods. Nespresso has a few different models, but the Vertuo is the one we have and love. If you buy this, make sure to get some pods so that you can use it on Christmas morning! I also have this Nespresso milk frother and love it.

11 – ZIIP Halo

The ZIIP Halo is every beauty lover’s dream. It’s a super fancy nanocurrent™ and microcurrent facial toning device that you can use on your face for lifted, sculpted, and glowing skin. It’s small and compact but really fun to use. It comes with an app that teaches you exactly how to use it. I use this daily and notice such a difference when I forget. The results aren’t permanent but last for the full morning in my experience. It’s similar to using a gau-sha, but the results last longer.

This would be a wonderful gift if you’re shopping for someone who loves all the new trendy beauty products. Use code TAZIIP for 10% off your order.

12 – Kindle Paperwhite

I always prefer a real book to an electronic copy, but I did decide to splurge on the Kindle Paperwhite for a few trips I had planned last fall. I didn’t want to pack multiple books in my luggage, so I figured a Kindle was a better option. And I have to admit, I LOVE it (possibly more than real books because it’s so easy to hold with one hand in bed). It’s so sleek and small, and the books are cheaper. It has adjustable warm light so that you’re not keeping yourself awake with traditional screen light AND has up to 10 weeks of battery life. It’s a great gift idea for anyone who loves to read.

13 – Chappy Wrap Blankets

I was gifted a Chappy Wrap blanket earlier this year and it’s the coziest (and best looking) throw blanket we have now! I love how thick it is, but it’s not heavy or annoying to have to fold up everyday. This would make such a great gift because you can choose a color that feels best aligned with whoever you’re gifting to! I have the Harborview Herringbone Navy Blanket.

There are a few different size options, so you can definitely find a blanket under $100!

14 – Larroude Ricky Boot In Mocca Leather

I got this pair of brown leather boots from Larroude earlier this fall, and MAN I love them. They’re pricey, but they’re so well-made, and the heel height is the perfect option for everyday and occasion. If you just want to own one pair of tall boots, this is the pair to get.

The brown colorway is classic and looks great with denim and all colors of knit, and they’re shockingly comfortable. The 2.1-inch block heel is super easy to walk in, which is another perk. Read this post for my favorite ways to style boots with dresses.

15 – Serena and Lily Westwood Quilt

I never expected to be this passionate about bedding, but here I am telling you it’s worth asking Santa for bedding for Christmas. Tommy and I love this Westwood quilt so much that we own 3. They are on every bed in our house (and in our Boone vacation home). The material is luxurious and the weight is just right. We own the white since it’s so classic, but this also comes in other colorways. It would make a wonderful gift for moms or grandmothers who appreciate nice home gifts!

More Affordable Gifts for Her

16 – Hotel Lobby Candle

As someone who’s very sensitive to scents, any time I LOVE a candle, I scream about it from the rooftops. Hotel Lobby is a boutique candle company that’s known for having the most amazing (and accurately described) scented candles. I just got the “Lodge” scent, and I wish you could all smell my office. I feel like I’m in a mountain lodge in Vail, Colorado. The notes are vanilla bean, bourbon, cedarwood, sandalwood, and snow lily.

Hotel Lobby is also known for making long-lasting candles that burn evenly, which I appreciate since a tunneling candle is so annoying.

17 – Simple Modern 40oz Water Bottle

I tested the Stanley 40oz water bottle against this Simple Modern 40oz water bottle from Amazon and Simple Modern won by a LANDSLIDE. Not only is it slimmer and lighter, but it doesn’t leak and costs less! AND you can find it in stock almost all of the time. I often gift these to friends for birthdays and holidays. It’s the perfect gift for a smaller budget ($30), and everyone loves it! If you need a gift for your child’s teacher or your niece/cousin, this is it.

18 – Colored Wine Glasses

I have gifted a few different brands/styles of colored wine glasses in the last year and they’ve always been a hit! I gave this set of 6 pink set of wine glasses to a work friend last year and she raved about them. Also, I gift this tortoise shell set of two stemless glasses to my Content Manager a month ago and she’s using them non-stop. And then I saw this set of colored champagne coupe glasses at the Amazon Creator Summit and LOVED them. I can’t decide which is best since I love them all. So, just choose the set that makes the most sense for your friend’s style!

19 – Perfume Samplers

I haven’t been a big perfume gal until this year when I discovered a few clean perfume brands that I realy like and that I don’t react to (most perfumes make me very stuffy). And while gifting perfume can be hard since scents are so personal, DIME Beauty makes a perfect sampler set! For only $28, you can gift 5 different scents for them to try. I love the majority of them, but Lovely Sweet Dreams is my favorite from this set.

20 – Victoria Emerson Jewelry

My favorite brand for more affordable but still super high-quality jewelry is Victoria Emerson. They have a ton of styles, and with my code TERILYN35, the prices are even better. I love their earrings and bracelets.

21 – Colleen Rothschild Quench & Shine Restorative Hair Mask

I tried the Quench and Shine Restorative Hair Mask from Colleen Rothschild two years ago, and it blew my mind. I prefer it over my regular conditioner most days! It’s so hydrating but doesn’t weigh hair down, and it smells amazing. It lasts 5-6 months too. You could gift it alone or pair it with fun claw clips to stick with the hair theme.
