48 Gift Ideas for the Girlies in Your Life
Gift-giving is lovely year-round, but it’s ten times more special during the holidays, and that extra pressure to find the perfect gift makes it impossible to think of just the right thing.

So if you’re in need of some gift ideas and holiday inspiration for the girlies in your life, whether it be your older/younger sister or your mother/mother-in-law, I’m sure one of these 48 gift ideas will be a winner.
The price range in each of these gift guides varies, but you can use these as idea starters and find similar products at your price point!
Gift ideas for your chic older sister:
Older sisters can be intimidating to shop for, but as one myself, I compiled a list of all the things I’ve been eyeing lately. There’s something in here for everyone!
GAP CashSoft Shaker-Stitch Sweater Pants — a cozy matching set is the perfect gift, especially if the color is festive (like this deep red)! Don’t forget to grab the matching sweater!
Gourmand Eau De Parfum [Pumpkin Creme] — I’ve loved Gourmand perfumes since high school! They smell amazing, and the ‘Pumpkin Creme’ scent recently stopped me in my tracks. Plus, the bottle is so simple and cute that it doubles as decor.
Bauble Bar Custom Blanket — Personalized gifts are some of the most thoughtful ones, and I’ve been eyeing this monogrammed blanket since the last holiday season! It’s so chic.
Red Bow Anthropologie Icon Glasses — Anthropologie is never not having a moment. Their iconic Icon Glasses are always going viral, and a bow glass will be perfect for her morning iced lattes. They sell black, red, pink, and white ones!

Holiday Olive & June Press-On Nails [Gold Bows and Mini Tree Farm] — If you follow me on TikTok, you know that I’m a huge lover of press-on nails, and Olive & June is one of my favorite brands. I’ve found that they stay on longer compared to other nails, and their holiday designs are adorable!

Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28 — Coach is iconic, and the Brooklyn Shoulder bag really is that girl!

Coach Small Apple Bag Charm — There’s something about a bag charm that gets me so excited. This iconic red apple bag charm from Coach is super cute and festive!
UGG® Logo Embroidered Shearling Earmuffs — If she lives somewhere frigid, these would be the perfect accessory.

Coach Essential Card Case — There is a point in a girl’s life when she decides she’s ready to switch her bulky wallet from high school to a cardholder. My time came last year when I ordered one from Coach, and let me tell you, they’re so worth it! This is perfect for the girlies who don’t carry cash, though! So keep that in mind.
Large Frasier Scent Candle — This large candle would make the perfect centerpiece on a coffee or dining table! Scent notes include Ginger, Floral, Cardamom, Honey, Woody, and Musk.
AirPods Max in Starlight — I got my AirPods Max before they released the new Starlight color, and I am kicking myself right now! It’s gorgeous.

Gift ideas for your chic mother or mother-in-law:
When it comes to moms, they can be hard to shop for because they seemingly have everything already! The key is finding nice things they might feel silly buying for themselves. Like a beautiful keychain or a luxurious hand cream. Another way to come up with good gift ideas is to see what they use day to day and find a similar item they can add to the rotation!

Etsy Home Portrait Personalized Dish— Another thoughtful and personalized gift is a home portrait dish! Send this artist an image of your childhood home, and they’ll paint it onto a lovely plate. You can also get a family tree dish instead!

Zales Gold-Tone Expansion Watch — Add a thin gold watch to your mom’s jewelry stack. They’re so chic!
West Elm Zodiac Wine Charms — Moms and wine are usually connected at the hip, and a set of wine charms will help them the next time they have their girlfriends over so everyone knows whose glass is who’s.
Crate & Barrel Wine Decanter — If your wine-loving mom doesn’t have a decanter yet, this is a must. And this one’s $30!
