Last week I shared my personal holiday wish list, and today I’m back with another personal list — but this one is a gift guide that covers all of my favorite things. Think Oprah’s Favorite Things…but my take on it!
Every item on this gift guide for her is something I own, love, and highly recommend. These make wonderful gift ideas for your mom, sister, MIL, SIL, best friends…basically any woman. So let’s get right into the good stuff!
P.S. If you’re looking for additional gifting inspiration, be sure to check out all of my holiday gift guides. There are tons of special ideas for everyone on your list!
My Favorite Things List: Tried-and-True Gifts for Her
1. Multi-Purpose Cleaner
This all-natural cleaner smells incredible. Even JB says he enjoys wiping down the counters more because of it.
2. Bose Noise-Canceling Headphones
For anyone who loves a little quiet, these are a must. I bought a pair for JB, and he loves them so much he even takes some work calls with them.
3. Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer
Since I mostly wear tinted moisturizer these days, this primer is what I reach for when I need a little extra oomph.
4. Lake Pajamas
These will always make the list. My favorite combo is the long pants with the short-sleeve top.
5. Scarves
A big part of my personality these days. I love hunting for them on The RealReal or Vestiaire. The vintage Pucci ones are especially good.
6. Daughters of the Sea Bag Charms
I love a cute bag charm, and these are adorable. They make great gifts!
7. Sarah Alexandra Shirts
When I don’t know what to wear, I reach for one of these shirts. This is an item where the cost per wear is so, so low.
8. Ginori Plates
Yes, they’re popular — but for good reason. They’re stunning. I use the green ones daily, and my brown set for special occasions since they’re hand-wash only. You all know I love my plates, and these elevate every dish.
9. Drowsy Sleep Mask
This has become something I can barely sleep without. I used to be indifferent to sleep masks…until I found this one. This similar option isn’t 100% silk but works also beautifully.
10. Julia Amory Julia Pant
The most flattering pant I own. Instantly chic. I have a full post about Julia Amory if you want to dive deeper.
11. Teleties
I couldn’t make this list without including Teleties. I use them every day — and my youngest loves his little man bun…with a Teletie, of course!
12. Rhone Featherweight Long-Sleeve Tee
I wear this as soon as it’s clean every single time. Perfect for covering my arms at early soccer games, for workouts, or for walks. Lightweight but plenty of coverage.
13. Recovery Slides
Ugly? Sure. But these recovery slides are unbelievably comfortable. I wear them around the house — and sometimes I can’t resist taking them to pilates.
14. L.L. Bean Boat and Tote
My soccer-mom bag! I have the large, and it truly is my Mary Poppins bag.
15. Krewe Sunglasses
These will always make the list. Right now, the Zander is my favorite style. I feel much cooler than I actually am (lol) when I wear them.
16. LED Skin Cleansing “Urchin”
This little device is like a super-charged Clarisonic (remember those?). One of my favorite discoveries of the year. CODE: SARAHTUCKER.
17. Alice Walk Cashmere Wrap
I’ve lost count of how many people I’ve gifted this wrap to — always in their favorite color, of course! It’s one of the best wraps in the prettiest shades, and it comes with me on every trip.
18. Chris McMillan Glassy Smooth Blow Dry Spray
I wrote about this last week — and wow. I’ve tried the WOW spray and it didn’t do much for me, but this has been a game changer for my hair.
19. Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
I’ve repurchased this more times than I can remember. I simply can’t be without it!
20. Le Lion Sweater
The cost per wear on this sweater is also practically zero at this point! I pack it for every trip and wear it constantly. Code: Sarahtucker15 — order soon to get it in time for the holidays and check out more of my favorite personalized gifts here!
21. Lenora Hanging Cosmetic Bag
This holds everything and keeps me organized. I keep it stocked and ready to go! SARAH15 for 15% off.
22. Weezie Table Linen
This one is the MVT (most valuable tablecloth) of the year. I love the weight of it and the beautiful design.
23. Tangle Teezer
We can’t live without this in our house. It makes a great teen or tween stocking stuffer.
24. Owala Water Bottle
I love this bottle. It’s my favorite emotional-support water bottle. The 40-ounce size and little handle make it perfect for daily walks.
25. Souper Cubes
Will I ever stop talking about these? Nope. I use them for soups, leftovers like mashed potatoes or creamed corn, extra smoothie batches — everything.
