the ultimate gift guide for every girly on your list

from some of our favorite businesses that we designed for!

 
 

For the Homebody: Brave Little Ones

Brave Little Ones is known for their cozy as heck bamboo pajamas and sleepers for, you guessed it, little ones. But did you know they make high-quality, ultra comfy pjs for adults too!? We’re swooning over the matching sets for women. Plus, who can pass up a chance to wear matching jammies with their little? Not me!

For the Hair Queen: Hello Headband

Known big time for their cloud-soft headbands, Hello Headband should be your go-to shop if you’re buying for a hair accessories girly this season. While they have SO many headbands to choose from the brand also sells the cutest hair clips and super comfy hair ties + scrunchies. We’re majorly eyeing the holiday hair bow clip and the gingerbread claw clip for ourselves this year!

For the Shoe Obsessed: Joyasol 

Sustainable, ethically made, and women-owned — need we say more!? Joyasol was founded around the idea that the fashion industry should be doing more to give back. Everything from the materials they source to the packaging they ship their products in has a focus on sustainability and limiting waste. We love an environmentally friendly brand and one that sells cute shoes just feels like the cherry on top!

For the Active Girly: GNGR Bees

GNGR Bees creates beautiful activewear from reclaimed materials and reinvests the profits into a wide range of sustainable projects. A brand that does good AND looks good — need we say more? Whether lounging around at home, running errands, or hitting the gym, GNGR Bees literal buttery soft leggings are a sure-fire win this season.

For the Coffee Lover: Foam 

After visiting Foam in Gulf Shores, Alabama over the summer, Lauren can formally attest to the quality of Foam’s house blend coffee, and IT IS IT. The freshly roasted coffee is incredibly smooth and makes for the best drinks — hot or iced.

For the Plant Obsessed: Modernly Ceramics 

It’s a beaut, Clark. Don’t worry, if you don’t get the reference we won’t hold it against you but wowza, this planter from Modernly Ceramics is a beaut. All of Modernly Ceramics planters are inspired by nature but we love how calming this one feels with its waves of blue. Not only are their planters pretty but they’re functional too and come with drainage holes. Something we didn’t realize wasn’t a standard feature on pots until we became plant mamas ourselves because duh it should be.

For the Home Decor Obsessed: Pink Antlers

One of our favorite gifts to give during the holiday season is home decor! You truthfully can’t go wrong gifting anyone on your list a basket paired with a cozy blanket and some other home goodies. We’re also swooning over these cotton-printed tea towels that feel elevated and useful — in case you need a specific idea!


For the Eco-Friendly Girly: Cedar & Vine  

We love a brand that’s environmentally friendly and cares just as deeply about putting out quality products. Enter: Cedar & Vine. A brand that specializes in high-quality, linen garments and homewares. This holiday season, while a splurge, we know the eco-conscious girly in your life would appreciate the lasting, quality Cedar & Vine has to offer. We especially love the linen romper and both Lauren (my project manager) and I stan the everyday shortall.

For the Girly Girl: From Juniper with Love 

A small-batch jewelry and accessories brand where vintage charm meets modern flair, From Juniper with Love crafts unique and permanent jewelry with heartfelt details. The Indiana-based brand inspires women to wear their stories and embrace their inner girly girl. We simply swoon over all of the bubble letter charms + heart detailing!

For the Cozy Girly: Candles + Matches

We LOVE a good candle brand and nothing beats pairing a favorite scent with charming color-tip matches. Here are two of our recent favorites! 

Rockaway Candle Co. is a New York-based home fragrance company that inspires comfort, well-being, and sense of nostalgia through its year-round and seasonal scents. The brand uses all-natural ingredients and phthalate-free perfume oils to create non-toxic goods buyers can feel good about burning in their homes. 

Scent & Sprout produces small-batch, all-natural, 100% soy wax candle collections that will bring a sense of calm and serenity to any space. Also based in New York, the brand is committed to ensuring every batch of candles is of the highest quality + non-toxic by using phthalate-free fragrances and natural cotton wicks.

For the New Mama: Paige & Lily 

This one goes out to the dads and partners of new moms. Get your girly a gift she’s sure to appreciate for YEARS to come. As a mom whose breastfeeding journey is getting ready to come to a close, I can’t even begin to express how much it means to have a piece of jewelry to remind me of all the hard work I’ve put in and all the time spent bonding with Navy through nursing. Seriously, breast milk jewelry is a one-of-a-kind gift that will be cherished long-term. 

Not buying a gift for a breastfeeding mama? Paige & Lily can make special keepsakes out of ashes, flowers, fabric, and pregnancy tests so there’s a special memento out there for everyone.

For the Expecting Mama: Buddha Belly Wellness

Calling all friends and family of expecting mamas! This set of three cocoa butter balms is made with natural ingredients safe for mom-to-be and baby. Plus, each balm is specifically created for the various trimesters with different scents to soothe throughout pregnancy. The balms are packaged in a functional push-up applicator so mamas no longer have to deal with the bleh feeling of lotion on their hands as they nourish their growing bellies AND the packaging (designed by yours truly) is completely plastic-free and biodegradable.

bonus! The gift that keeps on giving. courses for expecting + new moms

For the Quality Time Girly: Lumitory 

If her love language is quality time then look no further. Lumitory sells highly engaging conversation cards for virtually every situation. Does she love hosting the holidays? There’s a set of cards for that. Is she a grandma’s girly? She’d love the legacy cards. Dating? Check. Expecting a little? There’s a set of cards for that. Seriously, if she’s a sucker for some good ol’ quality time, you can’t go wrong here.

For the Crafter: Frankie and Claude 

If there’s someone I can admire it’s the crafter. I’m a naturally creative, crafty person (it comes with the territory) but since having Navy it’s been harder to make time for all things crafts — unless they’re baby-related, IYKYK. I love that Frankie & Claude has ready-made craft kits so the inner craft girly can embrace her creative side without overthinking what she needs to have on hand to make her craft dreams a reality

For the Signature Scent Girly: Beverly & 3rd

There’s nothing we admire more than a girl who loves to rock a signature scent and with Beverly & 3rd she can take that love to a whole new level. With roll-on perfumes, room sprays, and candles, she can find a scent she loves and basically make it her entire personality. We especially love the dessert bloom scent for its coconut, bergamot, and musk notes.

For the Art Enthusiast: August Jude & Dora Cuenca 

As a graphic design girly, I’m a sucker for quality art in and around the house and think the right piece completes a home. We’ve had the privilege of working with several artists over the past few years and are always so mesmerized by their work. If you have an art lover in your life, you can’t go wrong checking out August Jude or Dora Cuenca — just to name a few!

For the Minimalist: Every Day Collective Co.

We love a statement piece but there’s just something about minimal jewelry that can be worn every day, with every outfit, and pretty much all the time, that we’re SO here for and Every Day Collective Co. AND Essbe deliver just that. The brand crafts high-quality jewelry that’s both modern and timeless as it leans into a more minimal, everyday style. 

For the Festive Girly: Hart & Flora

If she loves alllll things seasonal Hart & Flora simply won’t disappoint. From glassware and tea towels to art prints and sweatshirts, Hart & Flora has a little something for everyone. The garden-inspired and seasonal goods add a playful touch and bring all the holiday cheer.
