Cozy Nights In
Little Luxuries She'd Never Buy Herself
Cozy Nights In
Eight gifts for slow evenings at home: the Barefoot Dreams throw and robe, UGG Tasman slippers, a Blissy silk pillowcase, a Diptyque candle set, a Voluspa candle, Aesop hand balm and a Stanley tumbler.
For slow weekend mornings: the same soft knit as the throw, as a robe. Pick her usual size and a color that matches the throw if you give both.
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe
If she lives in slippers but hates wet socks, this pair has a real sole, so the mailbox run is fine. Order her usual shoe size.
UGG Tasman II Slipper (Women)
If Diptyque is over budget, this is the easy crowd-pleaser: a large jar with a warm amber scent. It pairs nicely with the throw as one gift.
Voluspa Baltic Amber Large Jar Candle
For hands that are always washing something: a hand balm with a citrus and herb scent. Keep one by the sink and slip one into her bag.
Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm
Get this if she's always cold on the couch. It's soft and warm, and it's machine washable, so kids, pets and spilled cocoa aren't a problem.
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket
Good for anyone who fusses over her hair or skin at night: smooth mulberry silk instead of cotton. Check the pillow size, standard or queen, first.
BLISSY Mulberry Silk Pillowcase
The splurge candle pick: three small classics, so she can try a few scents instead of one big jar. Tell her to trim the wick before each burn.
Diptyque Set of 3 Small Candles
If she always wants iced water within reach on the couch or in the car, grab this. The narrow base fits cup holders, though it is heavy when full.
Stanley The Quencher H2.0 FlowState 40-Ounce Tumbler
Little Luxuries She'd Never Buy Herself
Seven everyday treats she keeps putting off for herself: a Longchamp Le Pliage tote, a Kendra Scott necklace, Dior Lip Glow, a cashmere scarf, Salt & Stone body cream, a Coach Tabby bag and the Dyson Airwrap.
If her everyday bag is a worn-out tote, this is the upgrade. It folds flat for travel and holds a lot. Pick a neutral like black or navy.
Longchamp Large Le Pliage Tote
A safe jewelry pick if you're unsure of her style: a small pendant on a dainty chain. Check whether she wears gold or silver before you choose.
Kendra Scott Elisa Necklace
The small luxury she'd never buy herself: a tinted balm that adds a sheer, natural flush. Choose the original pink shade if you're unsure.
DIOR Addict Lip Glow Balm
For cold commutes and school pickups: a soft cashmere scarf. Pick gray or camel; those go with every coat she already owns.
Nordstrom Cashmere Scarf
Good if she likes to smell nice without wearing perfume: a body cream in a few clean scents. Pick one you've noticed her like, or ask a friend.
SALT & STONE Body Cream
The bag splurge for someone who has carried the same purse for years. It's small and quilted, so it suits dinners out more than diaper duty.
COACH Tabby 20 Quilted Shoulder Bag
The big splurge on this list, for the one who blow-dries every morning. This version is made for straight to wavy hair, so check hers first.
