This holiday season, treat the special woman in your life to a pampering care package that’s personalized just for her. Take a moment to think about what she enjoys most during her “me” time. Is she a spa gal or would she prefer to curl up in a chair with a good book and a glass of wine? Either way, below you’ll find some unique and custom items to include in her holiday gift basket that she’s sure to love.
Shopping for the one you love, let alone assembling a gift basket full of gifts for them, can be hard. While you might be tempted to fill the basket with a random assortment of items, may we suggest an alternative? Pack your gift basket to your loved one with tasteful and thoughtful products referencing something — an activity, a hobby, a type of food or drink — that she’s crazy about.
To help you figure out the best holiday gift baskets for a special woman in your life, we put together 10 themed baskets that would appeal to women of all types. Feel free to copy them exactly as listed and play them off as your own idea (we won’t tell!) or use them as inspiration for your own curated collection this Christmas. Either way, she will sincerely appreciate the time and effort it took you to construct these baskets for her.
The Spa Lover
The best gifts you can give a spa lover are ones that help her recreate the spa experience in her home bathroom. Start with a personalized fleece robe to wrap her in comfort, a spa headband for the luxe facial treatment, and embroidered luxury cotton hand towels, just like the ones she’d find at a real spa. Pop in some tiny humidity-loving houseplants, an essential oil diffuser, and a jade face roller, and she’ll have everything she needs to begin a regular self-care ritual right at home.
The Bookworm
You’ll want to bookmark these ideas for a book-themed gift basket. Complement your gal’s reading time with useful gifts like a personalized swirl name bookmark or custom teapot (because everyone knows reading and drinking tea go hand in hand). Other accessories, such as a throw pillow featuring her face and a book design or these cool flowers made from pages of books, will let her show off how much she enjoys reading. Next, pop in titles from her favorite authors or a book diary, and you have a wonderful gift basket for the bibliophile in your life.
Outdoorswoman of the Year
These gift ideas are sure to please the nature lover, camper, RV fan, or backpacker in your life. Start with an Embroidered Outdoor Cooler Backpack — it’s a gift that will keep on giving as she navigates those long stretches of winding trails. Then, add a gorgeous National Parks Personalized Leather Book to help her on her adventures, and finally, drop in a S’mores Personalized Camping Mug as the final sweet treat in her bevy of camp side goodies. If there’s still room left over, toss in a kit including everything she’ll need to make s’mores while she’s camping out under the moonlight.
The Constant Gardener
Got someone in your life who loves getting her hands in the dirt and helping plants flourish? Then fill her gift basket with must-have garden accessories like a personalized garden stone and garden tote and tools. Next, pepper in some of her favorite vegetable or native flower seeds and thoughtful garden gadgets, such as shears. You could even add a small herb garden if she likes to get her green thumb on plants beyond the garden gate door.
The Chocolate Connoisseur
If the cacao bean, and all the many products that come from it, is your person’s weak spot, then you’ve got a bounty of gifts from which to choose for your chocolate-themed gift basket. Include a standout item like a personalized candy jar (filled with individually wrapped chocolate truffles). Then, plug in some hot cocoa bombs complete with a personalized mug or printouts of her favorite chocolate cookie recipes for a personalized touch. We also strongly recommend the Max Brenner First Aid Chocolate Box: It’s an amusing reminder of how much she adores chocolate, and it will satisfy all her chocolate fantasies.
The Home Chef
For the giftee who loves whipping up gourmet meals in her home kitchen, start with an item she’ll use every day, such as a personalized hardwood cutting board. If her personality matches the zesty food she cooks, add a personalized apron with a sassy saying on the front. Lastly, you can’t go wrong with a personalized recipe book or bamboo cooking utensils.
The Wellness Guru
Finding time for self-care can be hard, so make it easier for her to prioritize herself with a basket filled with items that promote physical and mental health. Opt for a Trendy Script Personalized Yoga Mat or beautiful Hawaiian umbrella tree bonsai as well as some pink quartz crystals to add serenity to her space. Finally, include an engraved hurricane candle holder in which she can place all her favorite candles. Warning: These wellness essentials are so sweet and cozy that you might want to grab a few for yourself.
The Wine Aficionado
With the amount of wine-themed gifts available on the market, oenophiles are, frankly, not that difficult to shop for. A slate plaque proclaiming her love for her favorite alcoholic beverage will look great in her kitchen, home bar, or anywhere she likes to enjoy a glass. A wine gift basket wouldn’t be complete without her favorite vintner’s selection; just be sure to wrap it in a personalized wine bottle label for a personal touch. Include some cheese and meat selections, such as this charcuterie and cheese assortment, to pair with her favorite bottle.
America’s Next Best Baker
The woman who’s continually pulling breads, muffins, and cakes out of the oven needs top-quality accessories to match her superb baking skills. These could include a personalized apron, along with rolling pins, measuring cups, spatulas, and whisks. Add some baking essentials to help her create her latest delectable dessert, and you will make her baking dreams come true. If that isn’t enough, may we suggest a personalized cake pan and classic ceramic pie dish? They are the proverbial cherries on top of her already sweet baking-themed basket.
The Caffeine Fan
Whatever kind of caffeinated drink is being served — oolong tea, espresso, pour-over coffee — this gal is at the front of the line. Of course, someone this passionate about her daily (or twice daily) mug or cuppa joe probably is already well stocked with artisan coffee or small batch loose leaf tea, so consider filling her gift basket with accessories to complement her obsession. A pair of coffee lover personalized adult socks will do the trick, as will a personalized glass mug, perfect for iced tea or coffee drinks. Top it all off with a Coffee Break Gift Basket, complete with cranberry orange biscotti, raspberry galettes, and two bags of whole bean coffee.
