2021 Gift Guide For Women

‘Tis the damn season! Every year, I drive myself to the brink curating gift guides for you guys in an effort to help your holiday shopping feel painless, effortless, and fun. The secret, though, is that I get 90% of my own shopping done while creating these guides, so it’s truly a joyous win-win for all!

Although this year’s 2021 gift guides are labeled, it’s merely for organization. No matter who you’re buying for, browse all six lists to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list and keep your mind open! Happy shopping!

everlane sweaters

I want every sweater Everlane has available right now, but to pare it down, I’m sharing my top three that I think any fashionable female would love. The first is the cashmere collared sweater. I am partial to the red. The second is their felted merino half-zip sweater. Just so classic and cool. I love the chunky, ribbed vibe and big collar! Last, the oversized Alpaca Crew. It’s $100 and available in a ton of colors. All three are high-quality clothes that is the type of piece you want so bad, but would love if someone else bought it for you.

chelsea boots

Speaking of Everlane, their Italian leather Chelsea boot is what Christmas dreams are made of. I ordered some for myself because I have no patience, and can attest that they’re marvelous!

calpak duffel

If she’s a jetsetter or a mom or a living, breathing woman, the Calpak Duffel is a wildly thoughtful and very nice present to give. It fits so much, is a joy to travel with, and comes in a variety of really cute colors! She’ll have this bag forever.

ring conceirge

Maybe the lady is overdue for some new fine jewelry? If that’s the case, I can’t recommend Ring Concierge enough. They have a never-ending supply of all kinds of gemstones, metals, earrings, bracelets, necklaces—so much. My own XS gold hoops, emerald cut studs, and Herringbone bracelet are some of my top recommendations, but I also love the lightning bolt stud, tiny diamond studs, and so much more.

farm rio

It goes without saying that just about anything from Farm Rio will be a crowd pleaser. If someone simply handed me a gift card toward this incredibly stunning brand, it would be the best holiday season ever!

CHARLOTTE STONE SANDALS

Speaking of insanely colorful stuff, this is the perfect opportunity to put the happiest summer sandals on your Christmas list before you hand it over. I wore my Confetti sandals constantly this past summer—worth every penny!

pact underwear

I don’t care who it is, underwear is a great gift. Not just any underwear, though—the high quality stuff. I am so in love with these high rise hipster underwear from Pact. They’re granny-chic in the best way and beyond comfortable. Plus, they’re made from 100% organic cotton, which is really all you want touching your lady bits.

sheertex tights

I didn’t know about Sheertex until they reached out to me this year in hopes of working together. Now, I couldn’t go back to “normal” tights. Sheertex goods are insanely durable, shaping to flatter your figure, and are available in so many different colorways and patterns. I have a plain black pair, just got an adorable polka dot pair, and the shorties for spring/summer! Use code EMMASTHING20 for 20% off your purchase

diamond necklace

Zac gave me this Dana Rebecca diamond pendant necklace last Christmas, and I literally never take it off. It’s the perfect amount of shimmer and bling to wear daily, and also a dainty, gorgeous reminder of who gave it to me. It also pairs well with any other necklaces you might want to wear for layering!

NÉCESSAIRE

I get that some people find Nécessaire’s pricing to be, well, UNnecessary. But once you try their goods, you understand. Plus, you can use my code EMMAG10 for 10% off your entire order, always. I’ve been using the body wash and body lotion exclusively for a year now, and just added their deodorant into my routine. I love it all, have had zero skin issues with any of it, and consider Bergamot and Sandalwood to be the superior scents! Give the gift of luxurious skincare this year.

girlfriend gift card

Of course, there was no way I could choose just a few items from Girlfriend to suggest as presents. Everything they offer is amazing, and I think the best gift you could give someone who’s in the market for new, flattering, fun athleisure is a gift card so they can order what’s right for them. Girlfriend is truly the gift that keeps on giving, IMO.

white fashion sneakers

The sneaker trend isn’t going anywhere, THANK GOD. If you or someone you know has yet to find the perfect pair of everyday, white fashion sneakers, these are some of my all-time favorites to consider gifting this year: Reebok Club C 85 Sneakers, Madewell’s Court Sneakers in White Leather, Classic Veja V-10 sneakers, and Reebok’s Classic Harman Run Sneaker.

artis brush

If she’s serious about her makeup, may I suggest splurging on the perfect foundation brush? Artis brushes cost a pretty penny, but I’d be playing it down if I didn’t say it’s the best my makeup has looked. I only have the Oval 7 for foundation, and it’s truly luxurious. Cleans easy, too!

wine advent calendar

So I’ve actually been doing some part-time freelance writing for this company, In Good Taste. They make their own wine and bottle it into mini bottles that are exactly a glass (and a half) of wine, so you don’t have to waste any precious vino by opening a bottle you don’t plan on finishing! Every holiday season, they offer their wine advent calendar, and it’s exactly what it sounds like — a different one of their wines to enjoy Dec 1-24! Order them for friends, family, or yourself. It’s the best freaking idea and I can’t wait for mine.

gucci ophidia small bag

Any time I wear the literal only designer bag I own, I get comments. I love the vintage, retro vibe of Gucci’s Ophidia line and love this bag even more. I’ll have it forever and plan to pass it down to my kids! If you’re in the market for a luxe gift, consider this for sure.
