Holiday Gift Guide: For Her + Oakleigh Rose Giveaway

Holiday shopping is hard! Should you get something your loved one needs or something they want? Is it best to buy them something they won’t buy themselves? There’s really no right answer to these questions but you really want them to love your gift! Today we’re kicking off our Holiday Gift Guide series. Stick with us for the next few weeks leading up to Christmas and we’ll give you some great ideas that you can’t go wrong with!

Let’s start with the most difficult one; for her. Whether you’re shopping for your wife, girlfriend, sister, or mother- shopping for her has never been more difficult. Could she have been dropping hints all year that you missed? Did she say ‘oh, I don’t need a thing’ when you asked what she wanted? Women are tricky because, in general, we aren’t that straight forward. We might know what we want but more than anything, we want it to be your idea. After all, that’s what a gift is!

There are two common routes that you could take when choosing a gift for your female loved ones; luxe and pamper or lounge and cozy. We’ve got all of the answers for both categories today! Read on for some spectacular ideas.

LUXE ‘FOR HER’

Holiday Gift Guide: For Her 'Luxe' Gifts

Created by theclosetbychristie on Polyvore

What is a luxe gift? It can be anything from a fabulous faux fur jacket to a pair of dazzling earrings! A few common elements in ‘luxe’ items are: glitter, faux fur, leather, metallics, suede, and lace. It could be luxury as in a splurge, like a designer handbag, or a budget item that simply looks expensive because of the aforementioned design elements.

A few other examples that aren’t shown in the collage are perfume, a spa gift certificate, tickets to a broadway show, or a vacation.

LOUNGE ‘FOR HER’

Holiday Gift Guide: For Her 'Lounge' Gifts

Created by theclosetbychristie on Polyvore

I’m sure you all know what a lounge gift is! People love to give these types of gifts for the holidays because the weather is starting to get cold and we love to be cozy. A lounge gift can be anything from a faux fur blanket to winter accessories and yoga pants. You can’t go wrong with these items because they’re one-size fits all! This even includes lounge-wear because it’s the type of clothing that is best a size larger, so you’re still in the clear if you don’t know her exact size.

1- Express Gray Scoop-Neck Graphic Tee // 2- Mango Oversize Cardigan // 3- Express Reversible Southwestern Blanket Scarf // 4- White House Black Market Cable Knit Gloves // 5- White House Black Market Cable Knit Pom-Pom Beanie // 6- UGG Soft Throw Blanket // 7- Madewell Knit Leggings
