Some people love the holiday season because of all the twinkle lights. The smell of pine! A generally lackadaisical approach to work as we slide toward the New Year? Don’t get me wrong, I love it for all these reasons, too. But for me? I get most in my holiday feels when helping people choose the perfect gift for the perfect person.
Gift giving may be some people’s love language; mine is gift recommending.
Because hoo boy do I love helping people spend their money. And I especially love helping people spend their money on other people.
I pride myself on my ability to put my shopping addiction, combined with an in-depth knowledge of the retail landscape and my insatiable people-pleasing nature, all into a blender to produce a gift idea that knocks it out of the park.
Back when freelance writing was my whole gig, creating shoppable, practical, delightful gift guides—especially for this publication!—brought me a lot of joy. I’ve since sold my soul to our corporate overlords for the safety blanket of a 401(k) and biweekly paychecks, but I missed the thrill of pointing smart dudes like you towards gifts to give, and treat yourself-worthy finds this time of year.
And so, dearest readers of Style Girlfriend—just like those sparkling lights and evergreen trees—I’m back!
Below, please enjoy an expertly curated selection of holiday gift ideas for the women in your life, courtesy of our friends at Huckberry.
Need a gift that tows the line between sexy and sweet for your new-ish girlfriend? I got you. Need a stocking stuffer for that aunt you haven’t seen in three years? It’s here.
Enjoy, add to cart, and be merry!
Below, 18 thoughtfully-curated Huckberry gifts for her:
Wonder Valley body wash, $32
There’s always that one category of gift recipient on your list that makes you scratch your head in confusion. Well, I am here to tell you that for this person—sister in law, child’s teacher, random aunt you drew in a white elephant gifting—the answer is fancy soap.
It smells good, it offends no one and pleases everyone.
This one, from Wonder Valley, scented with Japanese hinoki, cedarwood, and Siberian fir smells great, and will look even better in her shower.
Objecto personal foot heater, $100
If your significant other (or sister, or female bestie!) works in a corporate office, she will love, and I mean l-o-v-e this little tootsie warmer that sits discreetly under your desk.
The patriarchy keeps most workplaces (like mine) drafty and chilly to accommodate Men™ and their fleece vests, so the gift of a personal heat source is both handy and thoughtful.
Filson insulated down coat, $395
The limit does not exist when it comes to warm coats in the winter. And when it comes to Huckberry gifts for her, you’ve got plenty of outerwear options.
If you and your love live somewhere that gets a degree colder than “chilly,” a cold weather jacket makes a great gift!
With an exterior of weather-resistant waxed cotton, ultra-light duck down for insulation, and fleece-lined front pockets, this Filson coat is sure to spend more time on her back than hanging in the closet.
Howlin beanie, $75
Longtime fans of Style Girlfriend may recall that I spend a ton of time out in Idaho with my family, and as such have developed a fanatical adoration of warm hats.
Therefore, I can recommend with authority the fit, durability and style of a timeless beanie. Cozy, cute, and warm af. What more could you want?
Alex Mill ‘Nico’ cardigan, $165
Am I biased towards this cardigan because cream is really my color? Maybe! But hear me out.
An off-white hue will never not be in fashion, making it a safe bet for gift-giving. Plus, in a supple cotton-cashmere blend, its cozy to wear all winter long.
Tecovas ‘Jamie’ Western boot, $325
There’s something about a cowboy boot that feels both modern and totally throwback.
When I put on my cowboy boots—whether I’m in Sun Valley or New York City—it transforms any outfit I may be wearing.
And man, are they comfortable.
Lunya washable silk set, $278
And speaking of silk pajamas… I love the attainable luxury of Lunya’s washable silk sets.
The key being washable—no one wants to dry clean their jammies!
The tee set perfectly walks the line of suggestive and actually comfortable.
Barbour Beadnell wax jacket, $398
If you have a woman in your life who fantasizes about taking long drizzly walks through the English countryside or perhaps just lives in Seattle (I have been both at one time or another), then gift her an eternally cool and endlessly practical Barbour jacket.
Specifically the Beadnell above, which has a slightly feminine but not overly-girl cut, making it a true crowd-pleaser.
For her vanity table
Bourbon + brown sugar candle, $34
Broad spectrum SPF 30, $65
Baby, it’s cold outside
It’s all in the details
6-inch classic moc boot, $310
Leather watch, $225
Pavé huggie earrings, $58
Bath towel set, $100
Cozy in the cold
Flannel-lined waxed trucker jacket, $298
Highland Fair Isle cardigan, $198
