44 Gift Ideas For The Her In Your Life

If you're looking for some gifts to treat your mom this holiday season, then here are a few perfect ideas for her. Or pick one of these out for another special woman in your life: your aunt, your sister, your niece, your grandmother, your cousin, or your best friend. They do so much for you and they deserve all the love you can give them this holiday!

1. Candles

Candles are the easiest and best gift you can give. They last a long time and they SMELL SO GOOD. Maybe you know she is the cinnamon stick or vanilla type, or maybe try something new like gingerbread or Christmas cookie!

2. Giftcards

tumblr.com

You can do no wrong with a gift-card to Target. If you want to be more specific, snag a card from her favorite restaurant or favorite clothing store. Or maybe treat her to a coffee or tea with a gift-card to her favorite coffee shop or café.

3. Her Favorite CD


amazon.com

Buy her that new CD with the hit song that she sings every time it comes on the radio, or buy her a CD with her favorite tunes from the 90's.

4. Jewelry

We all appreciate a thoughtful necklace or bracelet. Spice it up with a sweet, little charm that means something to you and her.

5. Anything Handmade

There's always something extra special about a handmade creation: a poem, picture, or collection of special mementos.

6. Flowers

Flowers are one of the simplest forms of showing our affection towards others. Buy her a bouquet of her favorite flowers and surprise her!

7. Your Report Card

This is a gift idea more for your close family members. (It also depends on what type of grades are on there). But you can definitely bring home the good news if you are doing well in school!

8. Spa Day


spaandresort.com

Nothing is more relaxing than kicking back and getting a special spa treatment. Whether it's at home or in a salon, they will surely appreciate the time to be pampered.

9. Her Favorite Movie

Snag a bag of popcorn and bring her her favorite rom-com or sci-fi movie and she will be set for a movie night!

10. Scarves


WeHeartIt.com

Scarves are always trendy, no matter the season. But since it is the winter season, it is more common to be wearing scarves as the temperature drops!

11. Mugs

I personally believe you can never have too many mugs (but that's just my opinion). Pick up a cute mug at Starbucks or a cute coffee shop, throw in the gift-card for tea or coffee and you are set!

12. Pictures

pinterest.com

Look back to those pictures from senior year of high school or that spring break trip and print them out to give to her to remember!

13. Picture Frames

Print out those memorable pictures and stick them in a frame! Or create a collage!

14. Purses/Handbags/Wallets

This gift idea is a little classier and trendier. It doesn't have to be a Gucci handbag; you can even find some cute ones at Target!

15. Skin Care


Huffington Post

You can never go wrong with lotions, face masks, cleansers, hand creams, or moisturizers. Especially if the temperature is dropping. We don't want dryskin for Christmas!

16. Bath & Body Works Essentials


bathandbodyworks.com

Along with lotions and other healthcare items, look for shower gels, soaps, body scrubs, sanitizers, loofas at Bath & Body Works! They usually have some great package deals this time of year!

17. Chocolates

If she has a sweet tooth, pick up her favorite sweets! Usually, there's a lot of good deals around the holidays!

18. Tickets To A Show

Save up for this one and treat her to a night of her favorite music or theater. If she's not one for loud concerts or quiet theaters, take her out to the movies!

19. Wine

If your mom, aunt, or cousin is a fan of wine, surprise her with a bottle! If you are not the legal age to buy wine, buy her some wine glasses!

20. That Book She's Been Talking About

theberry.com

Or a book by one of her favorite authors!

21. Perfume

Perfume is a great idea and a gift that will last her a while! Just make sure you give it to her because you appreciate her and not because she smells bad.

22. Slippers/Fuzzy Socks

pinterest.com

We spend a lot of time our feet, and we just want to relax when the day is coming to an end! Everyone appreciates fuzzy socks to keep their toes warm.

23. Kitchen Appliances


iheartnaptime.net

Another gift you might not think of right away but it would definitely be easy to wrap up a decorative kitchen towel or a new set of colorful measuring cups!

24. Christmas Ornaments

Buying her an ornament is a thoughtful gift and something she can remember you by every time she walks by her Christmas tree! She will remember it every year when she puts up the tree! Maybe cut out a picture of you two and tie a string through it!

25. Calendar

Now that the new year has almost begun, she might like a new calendar to start it with! It'll make it even more special if you personalize the calendar with pictures and special dates!

26. Winter Hats


pinterest.com

Cute winter beanies are a must! You can mix and match with a new scarf as well!

27. Blankets

Buy a fuzzy blanket to go along with her favorite movie! You can find some cheap ones at Walmart and Target!

28. Date Night

Take her out to dinner! She will appreciate the time you put into planning it and the time spent together. Plus, who doesn't love food?

29. Write Her A Letter!


familyshare.com

Maybe you won't be home for the holidays or maybe it's just easier to express all of your emotions out on paper, but she will appreciate the kind words that she can hold on to for as long as she wants!

30. College Apparel

Your mom/grandmother/aunt is proud of you and is proud of the school they support and sent you off to! She is proud to show off all of your accomplishments!

31. A Watch

Moms, friends or grandmas can be late sometimes; get her a sleek new watch and she will have to look at the time!

32. Coasters


westelm.com

Not many would think to buy coasters as a gift but you might be surprised! If you have old coasters that have been worn down or don't match the room, look out for some new trendy coasters!

33. A Robe

For those nights after a long day, all she wants to do is a shower, and then she can just slip into her comfy robe and relax!

34. Makeup

If she takes an interest in makeup, pick her up a few items from some of her favorite brands! Maybe a new lipstick or an eyeshadow collection.

35. A Journal


tumblr.com

It's always nice to have some paper around to scribble on or write your thoughts out on. Write her a sweet note on the first page to tell her what she means to you!

36. Earrings

Simple and easy. Find her favorite colors or shapes or just buy a multi-pack of a mix of each! Or find a special pair for special occasions.

37. Adult Coloring Book

thejakartapost.com

If she likes coloring and de-stressing activities, she will definitely love one of those adult coloring books. Buy some markers or cool pens to go with it!

38. Cookbook


eater.com

Whether she's a world-renowned chef or the only recipe in her book is macaroni and cheese, she might appreciate trying out some new recipes! And she will enjoy it especially if you want to help her.

39. Bath Bombs

Bath bombs: the best way to enjoy bath time, to make it fragrant, relaxing and slow - a reward for making it through the day.

40. Kindle

This one may be a little more expensive than the others, but maybe your siblings or friends can pitch in on this one. It's easy to travel with and she will appreciate having so many books at her fingers.

41. Aromatherapy Essential Oils


head2toeproducts.com

Each essential oil comes with its own therapeutic benefits. Lavender is a stress reliever; peppermint is a natural energy booster. Apply some to a towel or your hands, rub together and inhale the wonderful smells.

42. Plants

They are simple decorations for the home and easy to take care of! Just a little sunshine and water! You can even make a cute decoration around the pot for a little extra special treat.

43. Make Her A Mixtape

Maybe you share the same taste in music and you can put together a list of your favorite songs on a CD or a USB! Or just take some songs from her playlist and put them together for her so she can listen the next time she gets in the car.

44. Tell Her You Love Her!


tumblr.com

Simple! It is always wonderful to hear from the people you love that they love you back. We spend the holidays with the friends and family that we love so make sure you remind them that they are special to you!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
