After years of compiling gift list ideas for myself and the women in my life, it's time to put it to good use and share what women actually want to make your shopping easier!


Christmas is almost here and this list can definitely be used for that or any birthday/other gifts (I include stocking stuffers so there’s a broad range of prices and options).

The items on these lists either I have tried and use regularly or women who I love and trust have shared their recommendation. I’m never going to share something that isn’t solid quality, promise!


Big Gift Ideas

  • For everyone - Experiences… like epic Disney and Universal theme park trips with you!! I recommend booking through Get Away Today as they have fantastic deals on tickets and hotel and ticket packages for Disney and beyond!

  • For everyone - a spa day or mini hotel retreat. There’s nothing more rejuvenating than getting to just be for a little bit without having to take care of everyone else. A little hotel overnight or spa day does more for us than you could possibly imagine!

  • For the Mom who wants style when she’s carting the kids around - UPPAbaby Vista V2 - It's the smoothest double stroller I have ever pushed with epic amounts of storage. Both of my kids (6 &3) can still fit and enjoy using it on long park days! Plus the looks she’ll get when she’s rolling with one of these is no joke. My husband always chuckles. My entire family pitched in to give me this when I had my second baby. And it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

  • For the woman whose love language is feeding everyone she loves - Cookware! This is always on my list because I haven’t found a style I absolutely love that last. This has been my favorite moderate option that I've used for years, but when ladies want the extra good stuff, you can’t go wrong with Caraway cookware - go for a color she’ll vibe the most with!

  • For the traveler - New luggage - although Tumi luggage can be pricey, we have had our Tumi luggage for years and it has a lifetime warranty. They've literally thought of everything when it comes to travel.

  • For the one who finds joy in keeping a pristine home - although I like having a clean and organized home, I personally haven't invested in one of these Dysons yet, but all I hear are good things and if this was my passion, I'd definitely put it on my list! This is my type of keeping things clean...our Roomba when we had two cats was the JAM!


Moderate gifts

  • For the woman who loves to always have her hair on point - This item I haven’t personally tried, but when I asked my IG friends what they actually wanted, there was a resounding request of either the Dyson Airwrap hairstyling tool or the Shark comparable option (that’s about half the cost). Personally when it comes to styling, the only two products that I use are the Beachwaver or a cheap Bed Head styling wand. The styling wand I use for my girls’ hair too and it stays all day!

  • For the woman (like me) on her devices all the time for work and is trying to prevent neck pain - I have used this neck adjuster ALOT and it's fantastic. These glasses are not glamourous, but man do they help with neck pain and posture when looking at a screen.

  • For the woman who likes to have the most gleaming jewelry - A supersonic jewelry cleaner - this is great for ring cleaning and other jewelry cleaning. I have one and it’s so fun to see it working! Such a unique way to keep those jewels sparkling.

  • Speaking of Jewelry - as a Florida girl who is no stranger to humidity and heat, I always request waterproof jewelry. Some brands are better than others but my current two favorite are Avaria and Hey Harper. perfect to wear to the theme parks during the summer to not compromise fashion (while you sweat lol), at the beach or just for daily use. It’s a great in-between financially from trendy cheap jewelry that doesn't last for more than a few wears and higher end items for extra special occasions.

  • For the reader - kindle - I’ll be honest I’m not an avid reader, but if the ladies in your life are and don’t have one. This is the perfect gift and it tends to go on sale around Christmastime so now’s a great time to book one! (See what I did there) Also, as mentioned above... these are great for readers too!

  • For the woman who is serious about her skincare - I am an Elemis girly and have been for years! It’s seriously the best! My two favorite products are the daytime sunscreen pro collagen cream and the night cream!

  • For the woman who likes to mix style with hydration - I personally prefer Simple Modern to Stanley because they're easier to clean. But you literally can't go wrong with either!

  • For the woman who is always carrying multiple drinks - a Stanley drink separator! okay I haven't tried this personally but OH MY GOODNESS! What a genius invention! I found this as I was writing this post and must try it immediately!


Stocking stuffers

  • For the simple makeup fan and the hardcore makeup girly - Heated lash curler - this thing rocks! It doesn’t pull out my lashes like the regular one does. Plus it works so quickly. It doesn’t take long to charge either and it has a very long battery life.

  • For the mom who likes her family pics and her big cups - I use this stroller attachment all the time at the parks. Since I always use pop sockets on my phone it’s so easy to slip into the attachment and take a family pic via that instead of setting up a tripod or asking someone to take pics.

  • For the woman who doesn’t want to juggle her phone - Speaking of pop sockets - this is the newest one I’ve gotten and I get more compliments on this than any other one I’ve had, and I've used them for years!! It’s so relaxing too because the glitter moves inside the gel top and is a nice stress reliever. Definitely a cute style for the Disney fan in your life. And if her phone is always dying (like mine) this fast charger and cable set Michael got me have been a life saver! So thankful for a quick charge when my phone needs it the most.

  • For the woman who wants to spend more time with God - my favorite Bible for devotional time is the She Reads Truth journaling Bible. It’s such a beautiful Bible and this version does such a great job of providing helpful info before and during each book to highlight what’s going on in the society at the time the book was written. I absolutely love the Daily Kairos prayer journal. It’s such a great way to set up your day and also recap your day looking back at what God has done!

  • For the woman who needs some time to relax... ie Every Woman - Eye masks and silk pillowcases are always lovely for a good night’s rest and you can even make her stocking a self care theme with bath soaks, face masks, cozy socks and/or foot and hand masks- here are my favorites. The more natural the better especially if the ladies in your life have sensitive skin. Plus if you’re really wanting to show your appreciation, a spa day gift card to a local spa is always a great idea - especially if the ladies in your life have a hard time taking care of themselves since they’re so busy taking care of everyone else.

  • For the traveler - this may sound like an odd one, but I seriously use this pill organizer so much when traveling and just having in my bag in general. It’s a great way to keep her and the family’s pill needs organized (do I picture myself reading that last sentence with a knitted blanket on my lap on a rocking chair… yes, yes I do). The backup charger I use for traveling is unfortunately not available so here are the ones most comparable... This slim fast charger (bring your own cords) and this one with the cords attached. This slim neck support travel pillow is my FAV!! (This is a big gift and not a stocking stuffer but... airpods are always a win! I love using them when I solo travel and just in life in general).

  • For the Disney fan - a cute new set of Minnie ears never hurt anyone ;) or if you're feeling really generous, a solid new loungefly bag or wallet is a great gift! here are some cute ones you can get on Amazon.
