Shopping for women comes with a lot of stress, but you don’t have to admit defeat and buy her yet another Sephora gift card. Here are some of the most unique gift ideas that she’ll fall in love with
Kusmi Tea Set, $119
For the tea lover. Give a little cup of joy by spoiling the tea-lover in your life with a luxurious tea set from Kusmi Tea merchants. The teas are delicious, and with this set, she’ll be able to try a bunch and pick a favourite. If you’re doing a low-budget Christmas, Kusmi has a bunch of other value on their website at all price points.
Nuknuuk Slippers, $28.99
For the homebody. Everyone needs a good pair of slippers. These soft (yet sturdy!) slip-ons are made with real suede and sheepskin and feel like you’re walking on a cloud. Get her two pairs — one for home and one for the office.
Beauty Sleep Silk Pillowcase, $69.50
For the gal who’s trying to grow her hair out. Silk pillowcases aren’t just a dream to sleep on (so soft, so dreamy), they’re also incredibly good for your hair. They reduce the tugging and pulling that happens as you toss and turn, protecting your hair from damage. If you’ve heard her complain about split ends, grab her a set.
Butter Socks, $16
For the one with cold feet. They’re called butter socks — what else is there to say? These ultra-soft socks are so, so comfy and make an excellent stocking stuffer.
Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer, $50
For the hair stylist. She’ll be taking her hairstyle to new heights with this blow dryer and round brush combo. No more trying to balance both a brush and a dryer! Her hair will be looking salon-ready each time, and as Fleabag told us, HAIR IS EVERYTHING
Charlotte Tilbury, The Pillow Talk Set, $40
For the makeup lover. Charlotte Tilbury is a world-renowned makeup artist and her makeup line comes with a hefty price tag, yes, but you get what you pay for. Her universally flattering mauve lip colour, Pillow Talk, usually retails for $40, but with this value set she’ll be getting both the lip liner and lipstick. It’s like a two-for-one. She definitely won’t pout with this gift.
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Laguna Wrap, $93

Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentio, $26
For the book lover. Jia Tolentio is an essayist at the New Yorker and her debut collection, Trick Mirror, has been getting rave reviews from critics. It definitely lives up to the hype – it’s a thoughtful and introspective look at what it means to be an adult in the post-recession world.
Small Hoops from Mejuri, $65
