My Favorite Things Gift Guide for Women
Please share!
This week my husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I spent quite a bit of time thinking about that because, frankly, he has been pretty generous with gifts in the past. I am blessed, and I know it. I began thinking back to what some of my favorite gifts have been, along with some things I have purchased for myself. Without sounding horribly materialistic, there are some things I own that I really just love, either for their usefulness or their beauty. Sometimes for both. I hope you’ll find this gift guide for women helpful when buying (or helping your loved ones to buy) special gifts for someone you love.
My Favorite Things Gift Guide for Women
I never could really give my husband much of a list of things I wish I had, but I did decide it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite things, because I think it makes a fun gift guide you can show your husband, mother, or best friend — anyone who is asking for a list of things you’d like to have.
Stylish, eco-friendly, and made in the U.S.A. My JORD watch is made from koa wood with a gorgeous rose face and accents. It’s my third watch from JORD, but this Cora Polaris is my favorite. It makes a statement every time I wear it. And it does not go unnoticed.
If you are not familiar with Levenger, please let me introduce you. You cannot beat their quality. They are known more for their leather goods, but this waxed canvas tote doesn’t disappoint and is one of my very favorites for a mobile office. I received it as a gift years ago, and I have given it to two of my besties (they love it as much as I do). If you like 31 bags, you’ll love this more sophisticated tote.
I travel a lot, and I work away from home quite a bit (at Starbucks or Panera). While I love my pricier laptop, I don’t want to risk harming it. Truth, be told, I like to baby it. An older version of this sweet little Chromebook has served me well as a 2nd laptop to carry with me to conferences, on vacation, or just on the days I’m working at the coffee shop. The price is extremely reasonable, and with a Google account, your stuff stays with you via cloud storage of your emails, maps, docs, pics and more, making any work you do accessible from your other laptop. If you need a 2nd computer for your children, it would be a great choice for that as well.
One of very favorite new-to-me subscription boxes is this one from Simply Earth. With Simply Earth, you can enjoy making incredible handmade products with your friends and family. You can be in control of your natural home! Each month they send you a new box that contains 4 bottles of essential oils, 6 recipes cards, and the items you need to make the recipes.
The coolest part? If you want to try a box (with no long term commitment) you can use the code MARCYFREE at the link above and they will give you a $40 gift card with your first box to use on your next one. So basically the next one is FREE!
My new favorite pieces of jewelry are my diffuser necklaces. I have a few and this one is my favorite. It is really beautiful, well-made, and so convenient for essential oils on the go. It comes with 3 washable felt pads, but you can purchase a refill pack of 30 of those for $4.99 if you use a lot of different oils. You’ll want one for yourself, but this one also makes a wonderful gift for the essential oil lovers in your life.
This little personal diffuser is my current favorite. It plugs into my laptop’s USB port (which I love), and works very well for those times when I want some essential oil love, but the people around me may not. For filling an entire room, the Spring Diffuser is my current favorite. It is so beautiful!
I use my iPhone a lot and I’m on the go a lot. I love being able to tuck this portable charger into my purse so that I never have to worry about my phone running out of charge. I can charge my iPhone 11 fully nearly 3 times with this pack before having to recharge it. It will also give me a partial charge for my iPad Air.
Last year, my husband gave this cookware set to me for Christmas. I had mentioned to him the desire to eliminate teflon from our kitchen and replace it with stainless steel and cast iron. Well, he did well. I absolutely love cooking with this set and it’s really very pretty. He also gave me these utensils to match the cookware set. Super fun!
I fell in love with the “composition book” shoes two years ago, but they were always sold out. But now this Argentinian designer is working with Amazon, and there are appears to be plenty of stock. I recently purchase those plus the ones I call my Matthew 18 shoes (the one with maps – you can see a glimpse of them in the picture above of my JORD watch). They are adorable, unique, stylish, and comfy to wear. I can’t wear either pair out somewhere without someone complimenting them and asking where I bought them. And who doesn’t love a good pair (or two) of Mary Janes? They also have pumps and Mary Jane’s for little girls, and lots more styles than what I’m showing you here.
I never knew the beauty of a good knife until I bought these when they were on sale. To be honest, I mostly loved all the pretty colors (including orange to match my other stuff!), but was impressed with the reviews, too. I have not been at all disappointed, and I love that I have a knife for different needs. The knives have stayed sharp after several months of use, and the handle have a very comfortable grip.
My favorite juicer is this one. It’s not the first one I bought — this Breville Juice Fountain Compact served me well for 2 years and is great for the budget-minding or beginning juicer. It does everything I need it to do and is a powerful machine. It gets quite a lot of use at our house and just keeps on churning out the juice. Learn more about how to choose a juicer.
I am surprised to still hear people say they can’t get into using an eReader over a print book. I suspect that most people who say that have never actually used a Kindle Paperwhite (or other Kindle edition). I was skeptical, too, at first, but I am so thrilled that I bit the bullet several years ago and bought my first Kindle. I love that it’s easier to hold than a book, I can read at night with a light, and there is no glare if I want to read out on the deck or on the beach. This is not the actual Paperwhite I own (I have an older edition), but if I were buying now, it’s the one I would choose.
I have enjoyed everything I’ve ever tried from Philosophy, but these are some of my favorite products. I love that you can get them in a set.
I hope you have enjoyed learning about some of my favorite things. Did anything pique your interest? What about your favorite things? What should I take a look at that you love?
