Thoughtful gift-giving is one of my absolute favorite ways to show people close to me that I know them and love them. This gift guide for her has something thoughtful for every woman in our lives!
As Ryan and I are now attending one another’s family holiday gatherings, our lists of people we need to shop for have doubled! Now I’m not only shopping for my family, but his too. I so badly want to find a thoughtful gift for each person, but it can be so difficult to come up with that much inspiration!
Because I know I’m not alone in that feeling, I’ve set out to help us all out. I haven’t made a gift guide for men (yet), but I spent hours creating this thoughtfully curated gift guide for her with the hope that there’s something included that each and every woman in our lives would love!
Many of the items I chose intentionally because the brands behind the gifts in this gift guide for her are sustainable and ethical, seeking to preserve the world and treat people well. Other products stand out because they are non-toxic and clean. You can read my notes about those products under each category.
In my gift guide for her, I’ve separated the gift ideas into 6 different categories to help you more easily find a gift suitable to the person you’re shopping for. You can click a category below to jump down to where it is in this post. Alternatively, scroll through and take a look at all of them!

1. Daniel Wellington Watch | 2. Matt & Nat Backpack | 3. Rifle Paper Inspirational Quotes Calendar | 4. Blush Planner | 5. Fujifilm Instant Camera | 6. iPhone Case | 7. Lily Lolo Eye Shadow Palette | 8. Nisolo Half Moon Earrings
Quick notes about some of these items and why I chose them! The Daniel Wellington watch is rose gold. The backpack makers, Matt & Nat, are a vegan brand committed to sustainability. The Fujifilm prints out photos right away, like a Polaroid. The eye shadow palette is all-natural and non-toxic. And, the ethical earrings brand Nisolo pays factory workers well beyond fair wages and maintains personal relationships with factories and artisans.
1. Avoca Throw Blanket | 2. The Little Book of Hygge | 3. Faux Fur Mule Slippers | 4. Ceramic Tea for Two Set | 5. The Road Back to You Book | 6. Paddywax Toxin-Free Candle | 7. 100% Silk Pillowcase | 8. Smith & Cult Nail Polish | 9. Yogi Egyptian Licorice Tea | 10. Green & Black’s Dark Chocolate Gift Set, Fair Trade & Organic
Avoca is a family-run business in Ireland which is known for its high quality goods. Ryan and I fell in love with their stores and products while visiting Ireland! The Road Back to You is a self-discovery book using the Enneagram, “an ancient personality typing system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired.” Ryan’s a four and I’m a one. Reading about our types has shed a lot of light on why we are the way we are! Paddywax candles are one of few candle brands that are entirely non-toxic. Smith & Cult is a high quality non-toxic nail polish brand. Yogi Egyptian Licorice Tea is my very favorite herbal tea. And Green & Black chocolate is organic as well as fair-trade!
1. JusTea Fair-Trade Loose Leaf Peppermint Detox Tea | 2. EcoTools Makeup Brushes | 3. Botanical Rifle Paper Stationery | 4. Sweetly Stated Mug | 5. Velvet Scrunchies | 6. Kleen Kanteen Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle | 7. Fabric & Sweater Defuzzer | 8. Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead
JusTea loose leaf teas are fair-trade and directly benefit Kenyan women. EcoTools is a sustainable brand using recycled materials to make their products. Scrunchies are just my favorite hair accessory (great for thin hair.) Defuzzers work miracles on pilly clothing and linty fabrics. Daring Greatly is written by Brené Brown about the power of vulnerability.
1. Calhoun Circular Shelf | 2. Mini Waffle Maker | 3. Teak & Bottle Vase | 4. Umbra Wall Mirror | 5. Cast Iron Skillet | 6. Veggie Spiralizer | 7. Ceramic Geometric Planters | 8. Marbled Monogram Cheese Board | 9. Viteri Hanging Frame | 10. GreenPan Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware Set
Veggie spiralizers are perfect for paleo, gluten-free, and low-carb eaters, because they allow you to spiralize vegetables to use as “noodles” or chop them finely for veggie chips, among many other uses. Ryan and I are huge fans of GreenPan cookware! Their products are free of the harmful toxic coatings of Teflon and other non-stick cookware, but are easy to use to cook things perfectly.
1. Amber Glass Spray Bottle | 2. Beekeeper’s Naturals Propolis Spray | 3. Manduka Cork Yoga Block | 4. Epsoak Epsom Salt Bath Soak | 5. Dry Brush Set | 6. Chaga Mushroom Coffee Mix | 7. Manduka Yoga Mat | 8. Kombucha Brewing Kit
The Amber Glass Spray Bottle will be perfect for DIY cleaners and products like my DIY apple cider vinegar conditioner. The dark glass ensures sunlight won’t damage contents, and glass won’t corrode or seep into the bottle’s contents like plastic can. I couldn’t wait to try propolis for increased immunity and quick recovery from sicknesses after listening to a super interesting podcast about it on That’s So Maven. The Manduka Cork Block was made with sustainably harvested cork. And, I had to include this Kombucha Brewing Kit since you know I’m a huge kombucha lover.
1. Hard Shell Carry-On Suitcase | 2. GoToob Squeeze Silicone Travel Bottles | 3. Manduka Travel Yoga Mat | 4. Rifle Paper Maps of the World Calendar | 5. ‘En Route’ Passport Holder | 6. Luggage Tag | 7. Luggage Scale | 8. Travel Cosmetics Bag | 9. CALPAK Packing Cubes
From plenty of travel experience, I can tell you that hard shell suitcases with four wheels that can go in any direction are a total game changer! They’re practically indestructible and so easy to lug around. Plus, this one is rose gold. The GoToob silicone containers will help you eliminate a bit more plastic from your life, since plastic can contain toxins that you don’t want in your cosmetics.
