As a mom, I’ve received numerous gifts throughout the years. However, finding the perfect gifts for the women in your life can be challenging. This gift guide offers holiday gifts for moms, sisters, aunts, wives, BFFs, and all the other women on your list. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to treat yourself too!
Best Gifts for Women
The best gifts are the ones that she will use and love. I may not be up-to-date on all the trending gifts, but I have discovered some tried and true presents over the years. Christmas gift ideas don’t have to be difficult or complicated. Often, it’s the simple things like handmade items or DIY beauty gifts that are the most cherished.

While I enjoy making DIY products to give out, it’s also nice to buy thoughtful gifts for loved ones. And of course, these gifts have to be natural and healthy. That’s why I avoid gadgets like Bluetooth AirPods or beauty products filled with chemicals. Thankfully, there are still plenty of quality gifts that I can feel good about giving to friends and loved ones!
Christmas Gifts For Her
The list below contains many practical gifts that I have appreciated receiving over the years. Coffee makers and blankets may not be glamorous, but I have truly enjoyed receiving and using them. You will also find items to pamper her and have some fun, such as a massage or art supplies. Some gifts may be more of a splurge, but there are also cheaper options available. And let’s not forget about stocking stuffers! I have included plenty of ideas for those as well. With nearly 50 ideas, there is bound to be something for every woman on your list.
– Amazon Gift Card – Need I say more?
– Real Plans Membership – My biggest time-saver, this plans all of my meals and shopping lists, and can accommodate allergies, bulk prep day, and more.
– Shiatsu Massage Pillow – Seriously rivals an actual massage for half the price!
– Hydro Flask Water Bottle – The water bottle I use that keeps water cool (or hot) for days.
– Purity Coffee – If you’re looking for a perfect cup of joe, look no further. Team this up with a coffee maker and you have a perfect gift set for any mom, wife, or best friend.
– Dry Farm Wines – If she doesn’t like coffee, maybe wine is the way to her heart. I had the opportunity to visit the vineyards with the Dry Farm team a few years ago, and I can’t recommend their natural wines enough. They’re keto, paleo-friendly, sugar-free, lower alcohol, and organic. Don’t forget to throw in some wine glasses.
– Wake-up Light Gentle Alarm Clock – Wake up gently to gradual light and sound.
– Caraway Bakeware or Cookware – I have the full cookware set from Caraway as well as some of their bakeware. These are non-toxic pots and pans that have been tested safe, all while having fun external colors to match your kitchen colors.
– Himalayan Salt Lamp – These beautiful lamps have a soothing, warm, orange glow at night that adds to home decor. I like this one because it’s unique and really pretty to look at.
– Blue Blocker Glasses – I wear these after dark for better sleep (some studies show avoiding blue light after dark helps melatonin levels). There are some fun colors and patterns to play with.
– 10,000 Lux Light – Feel blue in the winter? I use this super-bright light for self-care to keep my cortisol levels healthy.
– Le Creuset – Incredible (but pricey) cookware. I’ve been collecting a few pieces over the years and resisting the urge to buy them all!
– French Press Coffee Maker – Make wonderful coffee with this classic method. (And see above for the perfect coffee to use with this.)
– Instant Pot – Revolutionize dinner! This electric pressure cooker makes roasts in about an hour and turns tough cuts of meat into deliciously tender meals. Plus, it can cook beans, rice, and so much more in a fraction of the time. There’s even an option to make your own yogurt.
– Grown-up Coloring Book and Markers – Coloring isn’t just for kids anymore, and studies show it may reduce stress levels. Try a “grown-up coloring book.”
– Music – I love to fill our house with Christmas music this time of year. Whether it’s on while we decorate or when we’re opening presents, it’s a must-have for our family. Another functional option is music by Wholetones. They offer therapeutic music to help Mom sleep or relax.
– A Good Book – Just off the top of my head… maybe The Wellness Mama 5-Step Lifestyle Detox or The Wellness Mama Cookbook? Okay, I’m biased, but it’s a great way to have all of the best recipes and health hacks on the site at your fingertips. I also put together this post on the most recommended books by my podcast guests.
– Always Pan – This is your all-in-one pan that makes cooking and cleanup a breeze. It comes in different colors and brings some fun into the kitchen!
– Blanket – I like this GOTS-certified organic cotton throw blanket. Winter is a time when I find myself curled up with a book and a cup of tea, and a good blanket is necessary during these colder months.
– ChiliPad – One of my favorite ways to optimize sleep for moms. Great for pregnancy, hot flashes, or simply being the perfect temperature while you sleep!
– Yogurt Maker – Homemade yogurt tastes so much better than store-bought and is simple to make.
– Ice Cream Maker – Make any kind of ice cream: dairy-free, sugar-free, etc.
– Glass Electric Tea Kettle – Make tea in seconds with this glass electric tea kettle.
– HigherDOSE Sauna Blanket – I’ve shared many times how sauna use can impact our health, and if you don’t have the space for a full sauna, these sauna blankets are such an easy and great option! BON CHARGE also has a sauna blanket that’s really good.
– Journal – Journaling has been such a great way for me to organize my thoughts for the day. These gorgeous lined journals come in plenty of colors for her to write down her thoughts and create.
– Knitting Kit – Does she love trying new hobbies? Get her a learn-to-knit kit, complete with yarn, knitting needles, and a how-to-knit book.
– Art Supplies – I’m a big fan of painting and drawing and love to do it with my kids. Here’s an acrylic art painting set, or you can get this watercolor paint set that comes in a beautiful tin.
– Foot Massager – This wooden foot roller massager is an affordable and easy way to get a foot massage.
– Windowsill Garden Kit – She can grow organic herbs or flowers, even in a small space. This windowsill kit includes seeds and a beautiful planter. Hamama is also a great option for a growing kit.
– Cork Yoga Mat – One of my must-haves for working out.
– Fabletics Leggings – I love wearing a pair of cozy leggings at home, plus they’re great for working out in.
– Cozy Clothes – If leggings aren’t her thing, then maybe some cozy loungewear or sweats are? Or maybe she’d prefer a long sleeve cashmere sweater or a cardigan? Beat fast fashion and get quality second-hand clothing from ThredUp. Or buy new from an eco-friendly sustainable clothing brand.
– Organic Tea Subscription Box – Give her the gift that keeps on giving. Choose from green tea, herbal teas, black teas, and more in this monthly tea subscription.
