The Best J.Crew Gifts For Him and Her This Holiday Season
By Megan Collins | Last Updated: Dec 8 2022 | 6 min read
When I was a kid, our mall didn’t have a J.Crew. It wasn’t until after I left for college that one opened up.
My friend Jackie worked there on the weekends all through college for the discount.
I wonder sometimes if that absence is what makes me, to this day, think of J.Crew as sort of the platonic ideal for retailers I (100% affectionately) refer to as “mall brands.”
The brands whose stores mark your childhood by their relative accessibility, both physically and financially.
Abercrombie & Fitch is another. American Eagle Outfitters, too.
And J.Crew’s familiar “mall brand” status is exactly why I think the retailer makes for perfect gift guide inclusion.
Truly, I believe we’d all be hard pressed to name someone in our lives who wouldn’t be happy opening a gift-wrapped set of J.Crew pajamas, or a cashmere sweater, or fleece-lined boots.
It’s why we pulled together this list of J.Crew gifts for men and for women.
It was that, or overrun our other holiday gift guides with the retailer’s offerings…though you’ll find a few scattered throughout anyway.
First up? J.Crew gifts from the ladies’ side of the store…

Shop J.Crew gifts for her:
A puffer makes a great gift because: It’s stylish and functional. And the one she wore last winter probably isn’t looking too hot these days…
A seasonal sweater is a pretty fail-safe, hard to mess up holiday present.
So long as you get her size right, and pick a color you’ve seen her in before, you should be golden.
This matching pajama set makes us think of a wearable candy cane.
That’s a very good thing.
This wool topcoat would make a great gift for any woman who’s back in the office. The bright color will make any winter commute 50% more bearable.

More sweaters ftw.
At just under $100, this sparkly purse would make a great gift with the promise of a date for her to bring it on tucked inside.
Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about the guys!
Shop J.Crew gifts for him:
This puffer jacket isn’t like anything in his closet currently. In the best possible way.
The wide-wale corduroy sheds moisture surprisingly well, with the PrimaLoft insulation providing extra cold weather backup.
This pair of insulated boots makes for a great holiday gift whether his winter includes snow, rain, or simply chillier than usual temps.
A bright-red workshirt isn’t flashy per se, but it does make a statement.
If he’s the type to never treat himself, this chamois workshirt will feel like a luxurious upgrade to his everyday wardrobe.
These deck pants are the perfect combination of summer breezy (the drawstring!) with winter cozy (the corduroy!).
What’s not to love?
The nice thing about doing your holiday shopping at J.Crew is they carry more brands than just their own.
Like this Barbour Sylkoil Ashby jacket, perfect for a big-ticket gift.
You can’t get the size wrong on a cashmere beanie, and you can be sure he’d never buy one himself.
And that he’ll wear it every day until it falls apart.
A sturdy wool polo sweater is the kind of present he’ll open and think to himself, I would never have picked this for myself.
And in the same breath think, I can’t wait to try it on.
