For the woman who does it all, rarely slows down, and could use a little extra luxury in her everyday life.
We all know that woman. She’s the one who gets up, gets moving, gets things done, takes care of everyone around her, squeezes in a workout, tackles her to-do list, and somehow is already thinking about tomorrow’s adventure before today is even over.
She’s also probably the woman who doesn’t always give herself a break.
And honestly, I’m guilty of this, too. I LOVE being busy. I love having projects, getting outside, working hard, pla
nning adventures, and making the most out of a day. But sometimes, in the middle of doing all the things, it’s nice to have a few little luxuries that make it all feel a bit… better.
That’s what this gift guide is about.
These are things that I’ve used, loved, or think would make really great gifts for the woman who gets shit done. Things that let her keep doing what she loves, but add a little comfort, a little convenience, a little indulgence, or just a little perk throughout the day.
A really good pair of joggers, a tank you practically live in, a better night’s sleep, a notebook for all those ideas, something delicious on top of your morning coffee, or a skincare ritual that makes you pause for a few minutes- because sometimes we don’t need another reason to do more. We just need a few things that make the doing a little more enjoyable.
So here’s to bringing a little luxury to the everyday woman who rarely stops long enough to ask for it.
The Gift Guide
1. Buffalo Jackson Leather Tote
For the woman who carries a little bit of everything.
A good leather tote is one of those things that just gets better with time. It’s practical enough for everyday errands, work, travel, or hauling around all the things we seem to accumulate throughout the day, but beautiful enough that you actually want to carry it. I love the idea of gifting something that will become part of someone’s everyday adventures. A bag that can go from the office, to running errands with the kids in tow, to the airport to a weekend getaway without missing a beat.
2. Lems Women’s Chelsea Boot Tuff Pro
For the woman who’s always going somewhere.
It’s not just the name that I love about these boots, although it does help! They are a great everyday boot for someone who likes to get outside, walk everywhere, travel, or just wants a comfortable shoe that doesn’t look like a technical hiking boot. The Chelsea style makes them easy to dress up or down. I have not yet found an outfit that they don’t pair well with. And the best part? They are the most comfortable and easy to put on pair of boots that I own. I have happily hiked over 5 miles in them. They’re the kind of shoes you can throw on to run errands, head out for a hike, or meet a friend for coffee. Practical, comfortable, and still stylish. In short, I’m in love.
4. MesoLyft Face Serum & Roller Set
For the woman who likes to take care of herself, too.
A little self-care goes a long way, especially when life is busy and there’s always something else to do. The MesoLyft Face set combines a targeted facial serum with an at-home microneedling roller that delivers the serum as you roll. It’s a fun addition to a skincare routine for the woman who enjoys trying something new and making a little time for herself. A little skincare, a little pampering, and a reason to slow down for a few minutes. I have been using this for the past few weeks. It’s too soon to report any changes, but so far I love the simplicity and the ritual of it.
5. Perfectly Snug Smart Topper
For the woman who likes her sleep just right (and maybe has a husband who disagrees).
This might be one of my favorite gifts on this list, especially if you share a bed with someone who has completely different ideas about the perfect sleeping temperature.
I tend to sleep a little warmer than Jason, and this has been such a game changer for us. We can share the same blankets, snuggle up together, and still have our own individual sleeping temperatures. He can set his side to what feels good to him, and I can set mine to what feels good to me. What’s more is that you can program it so that it changes temperatures as you sleep. For example, I have set mine so that it warms up before I get in and then it cools off after I fall asleep and then warms back up as I am waking up. It is has proven to be a brilliant topper that has made our sleep life and relationship even better. I cannot imagine our bed with out it now!
6. Patagonia Women’s Seabrook Joggers
For the woman who has mastered the art of being comfortable and getting things done.
I’m a big fan of clothing that works for more than one part of life. These are the kinds of pants you can wear for a travel day, a casual afternoon, running errands, or a post-adventure coffee stop. Comfortable, versatile, and easy to live in. They’re perfect for transitioning from adventure mode to relax mode without actually having to change your outfit. That’s a win in my book because if you know me, I am not a big fan of transitions. These joggers let me stay in the same outfit for the better part of my day and for that I am most grateful.
7. Jungmaven Sporty Tank
For the woman who wants to live in something comfortable.
I practically live in this tank. It’s one of those pieces that feels so good to put on after a workout, and then somehow you end up wearing it for the rest of the day. It’s comfortable, easy, goes with just about everything, and is one of those wardrobe staples that you reach for again and again. I don’t even need to wear a bra with it, because it snugs my body torso and chest in all the right ways.
Throw it on with joggers, shorts, jeans, or whatever else you’re wearing that day. I love finding pieces that are comfortable enough for everyday life but still make you feel put together and this is definitely one of those.
7. Outerknown Scout Straight Jeans – Pale Vintage
For the woman who wants a good pair of jeans she can wear just about anywhere.
A really good pair of jeans is hard to beat. These have that classic vintage-inspired straight-leg look, with a mid-rise, a fitted top block, and just enough stretch to make them comfortable. I love the Pale Vintage wash because they’re easy to dress up or down and work just as well with a tank and sneakers as they do with a sweater and boots but really all the washes look great. It’s hard not to want them all. They’re the kind of jeans you reach for when you want it all – to look put together and be comfortable.
Made with 98% organic cotton and 2% spandex, they’re a great everyday staple for the woman who has places to go and things to do.. which is ALL women as far as I am concerned.
8. Rocketbook Reusable Notebook
For the list-maker, planner, doodler, dreamer, and woman with a million ideas.
If she’s anything like me, there’s always a list, a plan, an idea, or something that needs to be written down somewhere. Rocketbook gives you that traditional pen-and-paper experience, but with reusable pages that you can wipe clean and use again. I love the act of writing things down, it helps me remember things and it takes me aways from screens which is always welcome. For people who write a lot, it is possible to digitize your notes and send them to your favorite cloud services. I am not needing that feature yet, but it’s a super cool non waste idea that is really easy to use.
It’s a super fun gift for anyone who likes to write things down, keep track of ideas, and organize the beautiful chaos that is everyday life. Less paper, less waste and more room for new ideas.
9. SugarBean’s Coffee Bean Brûlée
For the woman who believes coffee deserves a little extra love.
I LOVE these! My favorite way to enjoy them is sprinkled right on top of my coffee. It’s such a fun little treat and an easy way to make your everyday cup of coffee feel a little more special.
If you have a coffee lover on your list, this is a fun, unexpected gift that they’ll probably want to keep all to themselves. Or pair it with a bag of good coffee for a little coffee-lover gift basket. Because sometimes it’s the little things that make an ordinary morning feel a little more exciting, especially around the holidays.
10. ROK Presso Smart Shot
For the woman who takes her coffee (and her mornings) seriously.
This one is for the coffee lover who enjoys the ritual as much as the caffeine. ROK makes manual espresso machines that let you pull your own shot without needing a big electric machine. There’s something fun about slowing down and making a really good espresso, whether that’s first thing in the morning or after a long day outside. I also love the way it looks on my counter. Rather than having a big machine that takes up way to much real estate, it is small and looks like a piece of art.
It’s a great addition to the kitchen for someone who appreciates good coffee, likes a little hands-on process, and would rather make a really good espresso at home than stand in line for one.
11. The TeaBook VarieTEA Bundles
For the woman who knows there’s always time for one more cup.
Not every good adventure involves getting outside. Sometimes it’s about slowing down, putting your feet up, and enjoying a really good cup of tea. I love the idea of these VarieTEA bundles because there’s a little something different to try, and the playful names make them even more fun to gift. With different tea samplers and flavor combinations, they’re a great option for the woman who likes variety and enjoys making a little ritual out of her downtime. Pair one with a favorite mug and you’ve got a pretty great gift.
A Few Last Thoughts
I think sometimes we get so caught up in doing “all the things” that we forget to enjoy some of the little things along the way. We’re busy checking things off the list, taking care of everyone else, planning the next adventure, and figuring out what needs to happen tomorrow.
I’m VERY MUCH guilty of this.
But I’ve found that sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. A really good cup of coffee in the morning, comfortable clothes that make you feel good all day, a few minutes to take care of your skin, a better night’s sleep, or something that makes coming home at the end of a long day feel even better.
These aren’t necessarily things that will change your life, but they might make it little more enjoyable. And I think there’s something pretty wonderful and simple about that. So whether you’re shopping for the woman in your life who never seems to slow down, or adding a few things to your own wish list (because why not?), consider this your reminder that you deserve a little luxury, too.
You don’t always have to earn the break- sometimes you just need to take it.
