“Sisters by chance, friends by choice….”

I’ve always said that one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me was a younger sister who eventually became my best friend. Sure, being 5 years apart had its challenges growing up… but as the years passed, and we matured, the age gap began to dissipate and a friendship started to blossom. Over the years, she’s become a confidant, travel buddy, fellow wine sipper, and a wonderful Aunt to Harper…..

There are numerous women in my life that I can say so many wonderful things about… from my mom + grandmother…. to so many of my longtime girlfriends. So when it comes to picking out the perfect gift for them, I put a lot of thought into it…. as I love seeing people’s faces light up when they open a gift they love. So today I’ve compiled a curated gift guide for that special female relationship in your life…. covering everything from the fitness lover, entertainer, and the cozy seeker. I hope it helps you find the gift… and I also included a few items sprinkled in there that are on my wishlist too!

COZY SEEKER

 I have lots of those women in my life! Be sure to check out this “Cozy At Home” shop, as they have some of the best pajamas, loungewear, socks, + slippers. Barefoot Dreams is always a wonderful gift option for these ladies, and I love this cardigan, pullover, + these lounge pants look so comfortable too. I’ve also heard that their blankets are so worth the splurge. These slippers are my all time favorite, and I already purchased a pair as a gift for this season… and this ribbed scarf is so soft and will definitely keep you warm. I also think this diffuser is an excellent option for the oil lover….

FITNESS FANATIC

For the lady who loves a good sweat session, something pertaining to fitness is always a great choice. APL sneakers are some of the best, on trend, options… and they always have the best color options . This Swell water bottle is the best… easy to take on hikes, or any workout, with its little handle… and such great color choices. STANCE makes great, and super cute, workout socks, like this pair or this 3-pack… and they’d be a great option paired with the water bottle or a favorite workout class pass. This post workout satin bomber, leggings, pullover, and gym bag (maybe toss in some Native natural deodorant…) are also excellent choices.

THE ENTERTAINER

If they’re a wine lover, I can’t recommend enough a favorite bottle of wine or bubble, paired with a pair of these beautiful wine glasses (or this bottle chiller). This set of cheese knives + this cheese board are beautiful gifts as well…. or these cheese labels are a great choice as well. These gold serving spoons are also beautiful.

BEAUTY BUFF

I’m no beauty buff myself, but for someone who loves trying out new products I highly recommend this moisturizing mask or this insta bright sheet mask (20% off with code SHANNON). This trio hydration kit is also a great option (I own and use two of the products and have been very happy with them…) and this glow kit would be a great option to give a little sun-kissed look during the winter months.

JEWELRY LOVER

I’d say I fall under this category. I love having beautiful accessories to dress us basic, everyday outfits… or to make dressier outfits even fancier. Gorjana is always a go-to and these earrings, as well as this adjustable metallic beaded bracelet. This pendant necklace is a great option as well, and I love this coin pendant necklace too. If she loves statement pieces, these tortoise earrings are pretty fab.

LUXE GIFTS

So, in case you’re looking to add a luxe gift to your wishlist, I’m sharing a few that are on mine this year…. like this beautiful velvet shoulder bag, golden goose sneakers, this initial necklace (this is my favorite necklace of all time), monogramed card case, and this adjustable diamond bracelet. These studded heeled booties are gorgeous too.

Hope it helps a little!
