I can’t believe it’s already time to start thinking about the holidays, but here we are closing in on them. Plus, doesn’t it feel like everyone is still scarred from the past few years’ delayed shipping debacles and starting in extra early this year? Really, we’re starting everything extra early this year it seems. I already feel behind on my holiday shopping and it’s barely even December. The holidays are my favorite time of year, and I’m so thrilled that so many of our favorite traditions are happening again this year and that our calendar is starting to fill up. But because we’re all still scarred from years past and honestly, because it feels like there is so much more to do now for some reason (anyone else feel that way?), I’m focusing on what we can get out of the way before things get truly crazy — gift giving. The bright side: maybe all this early shopping means the holidays won’t be as stressful this year? Oone can only dream right? I’ve already gotten a lot of requests for gift guides, so I thought I’d start with my favorite — holiday gifts for women (aka me, hint, hint, honey).
These are my favorite unique holiday gifts for women, checking off every important lady in your life — moms, grandmas, friends, mother-in-laws, sisters, sister-in-laws, grandmas, etc. This is also the list I always send my husband and my friends’ husbands when they ask what I/their wives want for Christmas this year.

What a thoughtfully curated list of unique holiday gifts for women your suggestions are both stylish and meaningful. And by the way, the phrase Christmas on Duty 2025: Parker Young as Santa Claus in a Red Velvet Coat just popped into my mind bold, festive and delightfully unexpected, just like one of the perfect gifts you’re recommending.
