As a mother, I have received many gifts over the years. But finding the perfect gift for the women in your life can be difficult. This gift guide offers holiday gifts for moms, sisters, aunts, wives, best friends, and every other woman on your list. While you’re enjoying it, don’t forget to buy some for yourself too!
Best gifts for women
The best gift is one she will use and love. I don’t have all the popular gifts out there, but I’ve discovered a few tried and true gifts 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 most treasured.

While I love making DIY products to give away, it’s also great to purchase other thoughtful gifts for your loved ones. Of course, they have to be as natural and healthy as possible! That rules out gadgets like Bluetooth AirPods or chemically filled beauty products. Thankfully, I still have plenty of quality gifts to give to friends and loved ones!
Christmas gift for her
The list below contains many practical gifts that I have been grateful to receive over the years. Coffee makers and blankets may not be sexy, but I really enjoy getting and using them. You’ll also find items to pamper her and have some fun (like a massage or art supplies). Some gifts are more of a splurge (ahem…husbands), but there are also some cheaper options.
Plus, we can’t forget the Christmas stockings! I’ve provided many ideas for what follows. With nearly 50 ideas in total, there’s definitely something for every woman on your list.
- Amazon Gift Cards – need I say more?
- Real Plans Membership – My biggest time saver – it plans all my meals and shopping lists and handles allergies, bulk prep days, etc.
- Shiatsu Massage Pillow – Truly comparable to a real massage at half the price!
- Hydro Flask Water Bottle – I use a water bottle that keeps water cool (or hot) for days.
- Purity Coffee – If you’re looking for the perfect coffee, look no further. Pair it with your coffee maker and you have the perfect gift set for your mom, wife, or best friend.
- Dry Farm Wine – If she doesn’t like coffee, maybe wine is where her heart is. I had the opportunity to visit the vineyard with the Dry Farm team a few years ago and I highly recommend their natural wines. They’re keto, paleo-friendly, sugar-free, low-alcohol, and organic. Don’t forget to throw in some wine glasses.
- Wake Up Light Gentle Alarm Clock – Wake up gently to progressive lights and sounds.
- Cilantro Bakeware or Cookware – I have a full set of Cilantro cookware as well as some of their bakeware. These pots and pans are non-toxic, tested for safety, and come in some fun exterior colors to match your kitchen colors.
- Himalayan Salt Lamps – These beautiful lamps emit a soothing, warm orange glow at night and really add color to your home décor. I love this because it’s unique and looks really pretty.
- Blue light blocking glasses – I wear these after dark for better sleep (some studies show that avoiding blue light after dark helps melatonin levels). There are some fun colors and patterns to play with.
- 10,000 Lux Light – Feeling blue in the winter? I use this super bright light for self-care to keep my cortisol levels healthy.
- Le Creuset – Incredible (but expensive) cookware. I have collected a few pieces over the years but resisted the urge to buy them all!
- French Press Coffee Maker – Make delicious coffee with this classic method. (See above for the perfect coffee to pair with it.)
- Instant Pot – Revolutionize dinner! This electric pressure cooker cooks meat in about an hour and turns tough cuts of meat into delicious, tender meat. Plus, it can cook beans, rice, etc. in a fraction of the time. You can even choose to make your own yogurt.
- Adult Coloring Books and Markers – Coloring is no longer for kids, studies show it can reduce stress levels. Try “Adult Coloring Book”.
- Music – This time of year I love filling my home with Christmas music. It’s a must-have for our family whether it’s when we’re decorating or opening gifts. Another feature option is Wholetones music. They provide therapeutic music to help mom sleep or relax.
- A great book – right off the top of my head…maybe The Healthy Mom 5-Step Lifestyle Detox or The Healthy Mom Cookbook? ? Okay, I’m biased, but it’s a great way to have all of the site’s best recipes and health tips at your fingertips. I also feature this post on the books my podcast guests recommend most.
- Always Pan – This is your all-in-one pan that makes cooking and cleanup a breeze. It comes in different colors to bring some fun to the kitchen!
- Blanket – I love this GOTS certified organic cotton blanket. Winter is when I curl up with a book and a cup of tea, and a good blanket is a necessity during these colder months.
- ChiliPad – One of my favorite ways to optimize mom’s sleep. Perfect for pregnancy, hot flashes, or just maintaining the perfect temperature while sleeping!
- Yogurt Maker – Homemade yogurt tastes much better than store-bought yogurt and is easy 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.
- HighDOSE Sauna Blankets – I’ve shared many times how sauna use affects our health, and if you don’t have the space for a full sauna, these sauna blankets are an easy and great option! BON CHARGE also has a sauna blanket, which is very nice.
- Journal – Journaling is a great way for me to organize my thoughts for the day. These gorgeous lined journals come in a variety of colors for her to write down her thoughts and creations.
- Knitting Kit – Does she like to try new hobbies? Buy her a learning knitting kit that includes yarn, knitting needles, and a knitting how-to book.
- Art Supplies – I absolutely love drawing and doing it with my kids. This is an acrylic art painting set, or you can purchase this watercolor paint set in a gorgeous jar.
- Foot Massager – This wooden foot roller massager is an affordable and easy way to massage your feet.
- Window Garden Kit – She can grow organic herbs or flowers even in small spaces. This windowsill kit includes seeds and a beautiful planter. Hamama is also a great choice for a growing kit.
- Cork yoga mat – one of my must-haves for workouts.
- Fabletics Leggings – I love wearing a comfy pair of leggings at home and they’re great for working out.
- Comfortable clothes – If she doesn’t like leggings, then maybe some comfy loungewear or sweatshirts would work too? Or maybe she prefers a long-sleeved cashmere sweater or cardigan? Beat fast fashion and get quality second-hand clothing from ThredUp. Or buy new ones from eco-friendly sustainable clothing brands.
- Organic Tea Subscription Box – Give her the gift that keeps giving. In your monthly tea subscription, you can choose from green tea, herbal tea, black tea, and more.
- Rose gold earrings or these jade earrings make great gifts. Buy her a jewelry box to store them in!
- Tote Bags – These stylish reusable canvas tote bags are perfect for shopping, the beach, or as a carry-on bag.
- Crossbody Bag – This small canvas crossbody bag is perfect for teens and seniors. There are tons of designs to choose from and feature zippered compartments to keep things organized.
- Gift Box – Not a gift per se, but this reusable gift box is an elegant way to wrap small gifts. She can save it, or give it away again.
- Essential Oil Diffusers – There are some affordable diffusers that make unique gifts. Don’t forget to pair it with some essential oils! Plant Therapy also offers some great essential oil gift sets for the holidays.
- Keepsake Book – This story prompt program emails mom or grandma a thought-provoking question every week for a year. At the end of the year, or whenever they are ready, they will compile all the stories into a beautiful keepsake book. This personalized gift is also perfect for last-minute gifts because it requires no shipping!
- Alitura Clay Mask – or any product from this brand. I love that their ingredients are clean and I really feel like I’m taking care of my skin. Their clay masks contain nutrient-rich ingredients that exfoliate dead skin, reduce open pores, stimulate blood flow, and promote the growth of new skin cells.
Christmas stocking ideas for her
- Annamarie Gianni Skin Care – This sampler is one of my favorite stocking stuffers for teens, friends, and anyone. I use a face wash every morning and then use their face serum. The ingredients are generally cleaner than what’s on the shelves at Nordstrom, Sephora, or Ulta.
- Wellnesse – My personal care line includes everything from shampoo to hand soap to toothpaste! Have you seen the new deodorants?
- Vibrant Blue Essential Oil – There are many quality essential oils on the market, but Vibrant Blue Essential Oil’s parasympathetic blend is unique. Just smelling it can help you enter parasympathetic mode and enter a more relaxed state. The holidays can also be stressful, so help her relax and enjoy the day! Enjoy over 50% off here.
- Plant Therapy has some amazing lotions, body butters, and essential oils! They create everything with high quality essential oils and are one of the most transparent brands I know.
- Pique Teas – Pique has a lot of great teas to choose from. We had the founders on the podcast and were impressed with the purity and level of testing of their teas. These are my favorite teas to have on hand.
- Toups Organics (Makeup and Beauty) – Heather from Mommypotamus introduced me to this range and they have an incredible range of clean makeup, lotions, and even a baking soda-free deodorant for sensitive types.
- Magnesium Oil – Spray to relax, detoxify, and even deodorize. I also love this magnesium lotion (kill two birds with one stone!).
- Massage – Sometimes, getting a massage from a professional is a good idea. She would love a gift certificate to a local massage therapist!
- Fontana Candles – I really love these non-toxic candles because they don’t contain any petroleum by-products, stabilizers, fragrance oils, or harmful dyes. Additionally, Fontana candles are now the first to receive MADE SAFE® certification.
