The Gift of Gabs Gift Guide: For HER
Gifting for Mom, sisters, besties, brides, and a little sprinkle (or a lot) of inspo for YOU!
The Gift of Gabs Gift Guides (say that 3 times fast) are officially kicking off! I had so much fun gathering all these gifts to share with you. I’ve also highlighted many favorites I already own that would make great gifts or wishlist additions for you. I am very proud to be including several woman-owned and led brands that are very close to my heart! Lots and lots of Etsy, too.
While working on this guide, I listened to this playlist and LOVED it!
The L.L. Bean Boat Tote reigns supreme as the best gift, especially for someone that loves a personal touch. I wear mine daily! More on totes: I love this elongated EW one from Kule.
In my totes always: An Undo hair clip of course.. (code: GG10) which are truly such a lovely gift and their new packaging is elite. My two favorite glosses you should know about are this one from Summer Fridays and this one from Saie. I’ve been obsessed with my silver Bottega card case, so here is the newer version of mine.
Anything from Stephanie Dawn Matthias (my favorite ceramicist). She is also a friend of mine and she really pours everything into her pieces. Made with so much love and warmth!
The Starling Tassel Charm is so special if you are a fine jewelry lover and appreciate charm collecting. It will always look to die for on the Oval Balloon Bracelet. (code: GG10). More for the jewelry lover: the Elsa Peretti Bone Ring is IT.
I wear my vintage silver cuff with black onyx every day and I found a very similar one here (might be exact) and I also love this new find.
This satin bag has carried me through many evenings and the price is right!
I’ve been wanting this beautiful pouch. I’d style it as a clutch too.
I just bought this brush in Paris and can confirm it is stunning.
You already know I am a Jamie Haller fan girl. Had to include the Chukka, which are a new style from her line. Speaking of shoes, I just found these Ancient Greek Sandals satin mules and thought these would be an amazing gift.
Not pictured, but if you’re going to gift sweaters, you know I will always recommend my Jenni Kayne pieces (code: Gabriella15). This cotton crewneck has been my MVP this year. I’d also recommend the beautiful pieces from Guest in Residence and Soft Goat.
While I’m talking wishlist for a moment, OMG- this Still Here suede jacket.
Gifting stationary is probably my No.1 recommendation if you couldn’t tell. It is truly so thoughtful and everyone appreciates having something to write their thank you notes! Personally, I get more excited to write notes when I love the stationary. Jaymes Paper has such beautiful bespoke options to customize. I absolutely love working with Jaymee (the talented founder) and she is so, so kind.
These collaboration pajamas from Parachute Home and Petite Plume caught my eye. Also love this cotton poplin striped robe.
This is a holy grail hair product and I cannot live without it (code: GABRIELLA15). One of the best gifts to give! Speaking of holy grail.. my latest beauty favorites: YSE eye masks (they are the sh*t) (code: GABRIELLA-15) and this amazing lip mask from Furtuna (code: GABRI15)
Very chic: Ginori x Cabana mugs, toile eye mask, a leather bound photo album, a leather lighter for your coffee table, calf hair gloves, Janessa Leone hooded scarf (code: GAB15), this black tote bag, a vintage beaded bag, and my fav Dorsey earrings.
I had to include more vintage jewelry boxes this year because they were a hit last year. I love mine so much. This one is very similar.
Cookbooks I’d love to get this year from a few of my favorite food creators: Sweet Tooth from Sarah Fennel aka Broma Bakery, The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook from Meredith Hayden, by Heart from Hailee Catalano and Salt Hank!
Warmer days ahead! I love gifting something to look forward to.
If you’re not already following/subscribed to Italy Segrata and you enjoy travel content, please do! I’d love to gift their tote bag, especially to my family members.
This is the best travel bag ever! It has saved me this year and I love the navy one. Comes in an expandable size too.
This beautifully designed yellow bag set and towel for travels, a vintage beaded bag, and this perfect basket bag with an interesting shape.
I really, really like this Fendi case and I’ve obsessed over this Westman Atelier x Metier train case for a while. Chanel blotting papers anyone?
One of my favorite gifts last year was my Architectural Digest print subscription from my Yiayia. She has collected her prints for decades and I’ve always admired her appreciation for AD. I’ve loved starting my own collection this year!
Since we’re in our bridal era.. I thought I’d include some of my favorite bridal gifts to give + would be honored to get.
I was gifted this beautiful crystal ring dish. I have two around my house and love them. The ring dishes from Stephanie Matthias are my favorite to collect.
This Dôen nightgown is perfect (I own it in blue).
Gifting Chanel will always my favorite thing. My mom worked for Chanel Beauty when I was young and I grew up obsessing over every sample she would bring home from work. I love their new No. 5 Eau de Parfum Purse Spray- so chic and what a pretty little gift!
More pretty stationary sets (this one is scalloped with a debossed floral motif.. swoon)! A bride is always writing a note. A vintage letter opener to compliment the stationary.
Something about a beautiful pillow + weddings. I adore this vintage linen one with Italian embroidery and this personalized pillow case. Also love a vintage embroidered handkerchief.
These satin pumps are just perfect. I’d love to wear this black and white bag during my bridal era.
I will be following up with a dedicated For Him guide + an ETC. guide with home, best of beauty, etc. (just like last year)!
Gorgeous curation!!
What a sweet gift guide!
