Sometimes a weighted neck wrap that radiates heat is better than a massage. No, it won’t untangle any knots, but it will instantly relax you. It delivers deep touch pressure and thermotherapy to make anyone lucky enough to use it feel instantly at ease.

For the One Who’s Always Cold
Anthropologie Sophie Faux-Fur Throw Blanket
We love a faux fur blanket because it looks and feels real (read: extremely luxurious and cozy), but doesn’t actually use any parts of the animal to achieve it. We all know a woman who is always cold (even at home), so do her a favor and give her the gift of a warm, snuggly blanket.
For the Carbo-Loader
Free People Loaf Candle
We all have a friend whose favorite item to snack on is bread. No judgment. For any carbo-loaders who love a good baguette, get this highly realistic loaf candle, which smells exactly like a Parisian patisserie.

For the Campfire Lover
TerraFlame Element Tabletop Firebowl
Bring the campfire inside with this tabletop firepit. It may not be as big as the real thing, but it will definitely bring the same vibes (minutes the smell and black smoke that burns when it gets in your eyes or mouth).
For the Ornament Collector
Williams Sonoma Deviled Egg Ornament
In our opinion, the most fun Christmas tree ornaments are the non-traditional ones. Anyone can adorn their tree with red and green glimmering orbs, but few can pull off a (faux) deviled egg dangling from a branch.

For the Traveler
Away The Large Toiletry Bag
Anyone who travels a lot needs a toiletry bag big enough to house all of their goodies but not so big that it’s hard to find what they’re looking for in a hurry. This one includes three built-in compartments for skincare, makeup, and anything they’d need to keep their teeth pearly white.
For the Writer
I Know Collection Habit Tracker
People who journal often love it because writing something down makes it feel more real than keeping it in their heads. This little booklet is like a hyper-organized journal for those looking to get more on track with their daily rituals. It’s full of prompts and ideas to keep you on schedule.

For the Gardener
The Sill Money Tree
Although a money tree does not sprout dollar bills, it is said to summon good fortune, making it a great gift for anyone with a green thumb. It comes in two sizes and seven planter shapes.
For the Baker
Williams Sonoma Olivewood Fluted Pastry Cutter
This is not a generic gift you’d give to just anyone; it’s for your friend who loves to bake complicated desserts. Why complicated, you may be wondering? You don’t slice fluted strands of pie crust or pastry dough to make something easy.

For the Fragrance Fan
L’avant Collective Fresh Linen Room Spray
This room spray comes in a durable thick glass bottle that’s topped with a heavy metal cap. That’s important information because it feels and looks so much more luxurious than a room spray housed in a plastic container. The good news? It smells just as good as it looks: It’s fresh and light.
For the 9-5 Worker
Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
Anyone with an office job could use an ergonomic mouse that, even after hours of use, won’t make their hand cramp. It comes in white, pink, and black, but we are partial to the pink.

For the Coffee Drinker
Anthropologie Bistro Tile Margot Monogram Mug
Anthropologie offers many mugs, but these are consistently the best-sellers. We can see why with its bistro tile pattern, contrasting palette, and enormous monogram.
For the Dancer
Raycon Everyday Speaker with Microphone
There’s no need to get her an expensive speaker. This tiny one about the size of a card deck has incredible sound quality and gets pretty loud. Anyone who likes hosting parties could use one of these, where a good song will erupt into a dance-a-thon.

For the Hostess
Meghan Miller Coastal Serving Board
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a serving board that actually moved us, but this one stopped us in our tracks. Just look at it! It looks like an extremely realistic mini beach, complete with plenty of space for delectable charcuterie. If you’re wondering what makes the water look so real, it’s the hand-painted resin, which is even more durable than plastic.
For Her Small Apartment
West Elm String of Bananans
As a famed symbol of love, devotion, and loyalty, a string of hearts plant is a great gift for your partner. It’s easy to care for too. The best part, however, is that it doesn’t take up any floor or counter space. It’s ideal for small space-dwellers.

For the Martini Drinker
Sister.ly Drinkware Iridescent Handmade Hammered Martini Glasses
Every martini glass should come in a set because such a beverage is meant to be enjoyed with company. This pair is one of our favorites because it’s made of hammered iridescent glass that’s ultra-feminine but hardly delicate. Not to mention they look pretty stunning on a bar cart.
For the Photographer
Kodak Printomatic Digital Instant Print Camera
Though no one really prints out photos anymore, we’re making a case for the lost art of tangible memories you can actually hold, pin to your fridge, or frame on the wall. This nifty Kodak doesn’t just take point-and-shoot snaps, it also prints them instantly.

For the Chef
Le Creuset Stoneware Mini Round Cocotte
With no visual context, this may look like a typical Le Creuset Dutch oven, but it’s not. It’s teensy, which is why it’s so cheap. Anyone cooking for one would appreciate this thing because she can prepare everything from a baked egg with spinach, tomato, and feta to pecan cinnamon rolls.
For the Makeup Artist
Anthropologie Gleaming Primrose Vanity Mirror
Gift her this TikTok viral mirror, and she’ll never stop gushing over it! The petite countertop size is perfect for her morning makeup routine.
