1. Cozy Blanket
You can’t go wrong gifting coziness during the winter months. Look for a super soft blanket in her favorite color or pattern. Extra points if it’s large enough to curl up and read a book under. A luxurious cashmere or faux fur throw says you care about her comfort.

What woman doesn’t appreciate a little pampering? Scented candles set a relaxing mood and provide a small daily luxury. Look for festive seasonal scents like balsam fir or frosted cranberry. For an extra special touch, find candles in elegant glass containers or other decorative holders.
EDITOR’S PICK: I can’t get enough of Capri Blue’s Aloha Orchid candles. The stunning purple Mercury glass jars look like they belong in a tropical spa. But it’s the lush jasmine, gardenia, and floral musk scent that really whisks me away to paradise. Lighting one instantly uplifts my mood. The soy wax has a clean burn too. Once the burn time of island vibes are finished, these beautiful vessels get a second life holding flowers or decor. Treat yourself to these little luxuries – your home will thank you!
