Holiday Shopping Guide: Gifts To Surprise and Delight HER

I endorse products I genuinely love and would gift or buy myself. If you end up making a purchase through one of the affiliate links, The Considerary may earn a commission.

What could you give this year that will truly elicit delight from the recipient? Gifts are about listening, so what would make the loved one feel heard and seen?

I have compiled a list of types of gifts that are sure to surprise and delight, and examples within each category. Cheers to being amazing gift givers this year!

1. The Thing She Won’t Buy For Herself

Everyone has an item or two, or five, that they would love to splurge on but think twice about because, you know, responsibility and stuff. If you have the ability to lavish someone this season, snag them something they wouldn’t buy, but would LOVE to own.

Ideas:

Quality or Designer Handbag, see below

Leather Jacket, see below

Luggage, see below

A classic piece from a local designer, see below

Vintage Dress

A piece made at a custom clothier

2. Gift Style and Convenience

Has a friend or loved one in your life mentioned any of the following?

Not having time to shop for herself

Wanting a new wardrobe

Not feeling like herself since she had babies

If so, they could benefit from personal styling and shopping services. At The Considerary we thrive at developing style and a wardrobe busy women can love and feel good about.

Check out the services we offer, here. If you aren’t ready to gift a full styling experience, check out our guides and shopping experience.

3. Meet The Practical Needs She Keeps Putting off

Friends to busy ladies, listen up: Your gal pal has a lot on her plate, so maybe this year she doesn’t need a new bauble but actually needs more time in her day. You can gift her that by gifting her a practical service or gift.

Ideas:

Hire A Cleaning Service

Car Detailing Service

Robot Vacuum (see below)

Plant Based Milk Maker (see below)

Portable Neck Massager (see below)

4. Inspire delight and wonder

When someone gifts me something that will be truly fun for me, I am thrilled. These ideas are sure to inspire child like wonder, excitement, and fun.

5.Get Sentimental

If you have a pal in your life who values thoughtfulness and intentionality far more than a cool gadget, then time to get deep and gift personal. Think of an inside joke you have, something they mentioned was important to them, a book they read when they were young…get creative and get thoughtful

7. Give Artfully

Your art appreciation friend will also appreciate an art inspired gift. You can support a local artist, a friend’s favorite artist, or gift tickets to the local museum.
