Best Gifts for Women

December 4, 2017 By: Nada Manleycomment

I don’t know about you, but I consider myself pretty easy to shop for. After all, I like allllll the things. I like clothes and shoes and jewelry and books and home stuff and yummy stuff and shoes and jewelry and bags and gift baskets and chocolate and shoes. Also, jewelry. Easy, right? It’s only when the giftgiver is forced to choose which bag/book/bracelet that things get tricky.

Fortunately, I’ve found some of the best gifts for some of the trickiest people on your list – other women just like you. Here, some of my favorite finds of the season.

Note-Worthy Gifts

You know you have a paper girl on your list. She’s the kind of woman who gets giddy at the sight of a pretty planner or lovely stationery. Paper is pretty, practical and very giftable, especially when it comes wrapped up for you in gorgeous boxes. I adore this planner from Horacio printing that it might tempt me to go back to the luxury of a paper planner, and nothing is more lovely and luxurious than a box of cards and other assorted goodies just waiting to be sent to loved ones.

2018 Classic Planner, $40, Horacio Printing, are beautiful and inspirational, and 10% of the proceeds benefit victims of human trafficking.

Noted Paperie Monthly Subscription Box

My friend Darlynn Tacinelli, a true paper connoisseur, curates these gorgeous stationery subscription boxes for her company, Noted Paperie. $26 a month.

Seeing Stars

Jewelry with a twist, these star-struck accessories are unique and gorgeous.

The Wrap of Luxury
