2021 Holiday Gift Guide: Useful Gift Ideas for Her

Gifting season is upon us! If you’re anything like me, you probably enjoy the Christmas festivities and the actual gift-buying happens…at the very last minute. Well (hopefully), not this year! There have been so many great sales and deals happening that it’s 100% advisable to get your shopping out of the way before the “last minute rush”. It’s also been quite insane this year with backorders and out of stock items so we’ll be seeing everyone shopping much earlier than usual.

Buying gifts used to give me so much anxiety simply because I wanted the gift to be PERFECT. I would literally spend hours overthinking, end up frustrated and still not happy with what I bought. This cycle continued until I started asking what would be HELPFUL to this person? Is it something that they would actually use in their daily lives? Game changer! To make it even easier for you, I put together these gift guides that every type of woman on your list can actually use (and LOVE).

Stocking Stuffers Under $50

There are just some gifts that can’t go wrong and I believe that these are it! All are under $50 and most are options that I actually use and love. Whether you have a makeup lover that needs primer to keep her makeup on flawless status ALL DAY or a home body that loves warm, comfy socks, I got you covered. This is also the moment where you will receive no judgment if you find a little something extra for yourself (haha).

The Coworkers

Whether it’s for Secret Santa or just gifting in general, buying gifts for coworkers can be tricky especially if the job is still fairly new. Again, the “can they use this” tip will save the day; we spend so much time in the office! You may have a coworker that needs comfy work slippers so that she can slip her heels off while at her desk. Everyone basically needs tupperware (these are glass and cute). And how useful is this cubicle hanger that you can use for your coat, purse, etc?

The Work from Home Workers

I felt that this was necessary since so many of us are now working from home either 100% or in a hybrid setting. When I was working from home 100%, I NEEDED to have organizers to stay on top of things and I couldn’t have survived without my Keurig.

The Activewear Lover

How many of you do or know someone that wears activewear on the daily? If I’m traveling or having a casual shopping day, I’m usually wearing leggings or a cute activewear set. You just can’t beat the comfort and convenience.

The Homebody

This was a fun category to find gifts for because I am a huge homebody so I know what’s up! Gift a homebody a nice comfy robe and blanket for their couch lounging and you’ve accomplished your mission.

Gifts for Creatives or Content Creators

I know quite a few content creators and creatives that I’ll be gifting this year. If you have some in your life as well, here are some useful gifts that always come in handy. You can never go wrong gifting a creator a sturdy tripod or ring light. If all else fails, gift a Best Buy gift card because we can almost always find anything that we need there.

The Beauty Queen

I’ll bet there’s AT LEAST one woman you’re gifting that loves makeup or could always more for everyday use. Gift her one of these options and you cannot go wrong.

I hope that these gift guides made your shopping a little easier this year! Which items were your favorite?
