16 Thoughtful Gift Ideas for All the Women in Your Life

5. Crown Royal XR

The XR? That stands for “extra rare,” and boy is this something special. The Canadian whisky’s been incorporated with whiskies from LaSalle Distillery’s final batches. Honeyed pear is the first to hit your tongue, followed by dried fruit mid-palate, and sweet finishing notes the likes of brown sugar, caramel, and cocoa. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water.

7. Ritani Cushion Cut Diamond Stud Earrings

Best for: wife

A pair of 1-carat diamond earrings is a show-stopping gift for your wife. Ritani’s cushion cut has a square shape with soft, rounded edges that emphasize clarity. Choose among 18kt white gold (shown here), platinum, 18kt yellow gold, 14kt white gold, or 18kt rose gold.

8. Anthropologie Mimi Fringed Wrap Scarf

Best for: sister, mother, coworker, friend, girlfriend

A plush scarf the likes of this fringed wrap number from Anthropologie ticks all the right boxes. It’s over six-feet long and two-feet wide and can easily do double duty as a shawl (or makeshift commuting blanket). Unfathomably soft and cozy, it comes in an array of flattering colors. You can honestly purchase it for a sister, cousin, niece, or someone you recently started dating. It’s a knockout gift for all.

9. Merrell x Outdoor Voices Women's Moab 2 Mid Waterproof

Best for: sister, daughter

If you’re shopping for a nature buff, she’ll love the mashup of these two brands. Merrell is obviously revered for their dependably technical hiking shoes and Outdoor Voices for their comfy, color-blocked workout apparel. Together, they make a trendy hiker. The Moab 2 Mid Waterproof has all the technical specs: performance suede; a lugged, grippy outsole; an EVA footbed with enhanced arch-and-heel support; and a closed-cell tongue to keep debris out of the shoe. It also comes in two surprising colorways: Taro (lavendar with pops of emerald) or Galapagos (emerald green with pops of white).

10. Riedel Performance Cabernet Set With Decanter

Best for: mother, wife

There’s no denying the appeal of premium crystal wine glasses. Aesthetics aside, wine- and spirits-specific glasses heighten the tasting experience. In the case of aged vintage port wines, decanters separate sediment and aerate wine, allowing younger ones to bloom more so the aroma and taste aren’t too tight. This is especially true for cabernet sauvignon. This set comes with four cabernet sauvignon glasses. The larger “Bordeaux”-style bowl lets ethanol evaporate and ensures a smoother taste.

11. Sorel Blake Lace Bootie

Best for: daughter, niece 

If you don’t want to go with a traditional hiking boot, opt for a lifestyle boot inspired by one. Sorel’s unique ankle boot has a rubber outsole to grip slick city strets (rain or snow), and the stacked heel and cushioned footbed mean she won’t be dying to kick ’em off after a day of walking. We especially like the striking contrast of the red hiking laces against the waterproof felt-and-leather upper.

12. Best Made Co. Anniversary Axe Blanket

Best for: wife, mother, grandmother

The appeal of this wool-cotton blanket is immeasurable: It’s crafted from Pendleton fabric, flaunting cutom weaving. The design mimics Best Made Co.’s esteemed painted axe handles. While its inception celebrates the company’s 10th anniversary, it makes a stellar present if your own anniversary falls around the holidays—or you just want to gift your mother-in-law, mother, or grandmother a gorgeous blanket. It can be used atop bedding, for lounging on the couch, or to post up with near a campfire.

13. Vince Camuto Leila Large Tote

Best for: girlfriend, wife

Some foolproof rules to follow when shopping for your significant other: Prioritize well-made pieces that are simple yet versatile. This tote bag from Vince Camuto epitomizes that. The design is classic enough for everyday use but stands out with premium details like croc-embossed leather and a tab closure with a chic polished aglet. (You can also opt for ombré tumbled leather and/or snake-print leather—just remember, black or evergreen are much more forgiving if you’re not sure about her personal style). She can stash her lunch, laptop, and even a pair of flats in the roomy carryall.

14. Rudsak Mala Quilted Down and Shearling Jacket

Best for: daughter, wife

This Montreal-based brand has established a name for itself in Canada by producing seriously stylish outerwear warm enough for sub-zero temperatures—and now they’ve come to the States. We love this hybrid of a jacket: half moto, half puffer. Shearling lines the interior of the jacket, lamb leather comprises the front, and goose down and feather (Allied trackable) provide added toastiness through the sleeves and back. Thoughtful details like tassel pulls on the zippers and belt buckles at the waist round this out to be one lust-worthy jacket.

15. Naked Cashmere Pat Beanie

Best for: daughter, niece, friend

A cashmere sweater seems like the perfect holiday gift—until you start stressing over sizing. Skip the guesswork and go for a beanie. This slouchy number is kitten-soft with a ribbed-knit finish. It also happens to be unisex, but try not to steal her present.

16. Lululemon Cloudscape Jacket

Best for: niece, daughter

It lives up to its name: Plush and silky, with just the right amount of puffiness, Lululemon’s Cloudscape Jacket is a great piece of casual outerwear. It’s wind- and water-repellent and has a funnel neck that lends added warmth. The bubble-like shape of the bodice is definitely more of a youthful silhouette, making it an ideal pick for young adults.
