The holidays are just around the corner, and we’ve got your gifting covered. Whether you're shopping for your partner, best friend, in-laws, or favorite homebody, the Womads 2025 Holiday Gift Guide is packed with thoughtful, practical ideas for everyone on your list.
I've broken it down by type of person, with options at a range of price points. So whether you're looking for budget-friendly holiday gifts or luxurious Christmas gifts, I've got you covered.
Gifts for the Woman in Your Life
The Womads Crossbody Bag
If you need a gift that’s both practical and versatile, our leather crossbody bags are the perfect luxury gift.
They’re especially great for city living or even as a first purse for your daughter. They keep essentials close and are hard to lose (trust us, that matters). Add an extra strap as a stocking stuffer—or save it for their next birthday.
Peep Toe Shoes
Lightweight, breathable, and now available in new colors and prints, our Peep Toe Flats are a holiday hit. They’re perfect for everything from New Year’s Eve plans to a quick coffee run.
They slip on easily, making them ideal for anyone on the go—and they fold up perfectly into a weekender bag.
Oxfords
Our Oxfords launched late last year and are already a favorite. They are made with the same high-quality leather as the peep toes and they’re great for cooler weather or as an office shoe.
They’re timeless, closed-toe, and super comfortable for long days. To add to the gift you can pick up our Leather Care Kit to make this gift one that lasts for years.
Gifts for Your Man
Portrait of Your First Date (Paint-by-Numbers Kit)
When I discovered this, I fell in love. It’s a customizable paint-by-numbers kit based on a personal photo—so you can recreate a memory together.
It’s especially great for couples who’ve been together awhile and already “have everything.”
Personalized Toolbox
Perfect for the DIY enthusiast or proud new homeowner. Even if it ends up more decor than function, it’s still a thoughtful, personal gift that’ll make him feel seen.
Lululemon ABC Everyday Pants
The ultimate do-everything pants. Comfy enough to lounge in, stylish enough for brunch or errands.
We call these weekend pants—put together, but effortless.
Gifts for the Homebody
Board Games
From cozy nights to competitive family game nights, board games are always a win.
Already know their favorite? Add an expansion pack to level up their game night.
Cozy Robe and Slippers
Think plush, oversized, hotel-style robe paired with memory foam slippers. Ideal for cold mornings, Netflix marathons, and those slow weekend mornings.
For the Hosts
Williams Sonoma Serving Plates
Gift them a unique, themed set of serving plates—something they’ll be excited to pull out at dinner parties or festive feasts. It’s the kind of gift that gets you invited back.
William Sonoma has incredible plates that have unique designs that will immediately melt the heart of any host. It is definitely a gift they will cherish and one they can also keep adding on to.
Serving Utensils
No one thinks to upgrade their serving spoons, which makes this such a good gift. Williams Sonoma has beautiful, high-quality pieces that are also super unique. Ideal for the “they already have everything” person.
Bluetooth Speaker
If they don’t already have one, this is a hosting essential. Background music sets the mood and helps people relax. Especially great for first-time hosts who are building their entertaining toolkit.
Gifts for the In-Laws and parents
Full plug here, I created a Mother’s Day Gift Guide that can also have great ideas for the holidays that you can also check out.
Coffee Table Book
A coffee table book is simple, beautiful, and easy to tailor to their interests or decor style.
My in-laws always say, “Don’t get us anything,” which is exactly why a well-chosen book plus a bottle of their favorite liquor makes for a thoughtful combo.
Decanter Set
Perfect for the in-laws who enjoy a good scotch or sipping tequila. Etsy has unique, handcrafted options that double as decor. Bonus points if you match it to their home or office aesthetic.
A Beautiful Plant in a Decorative Pot
Sometimes simple is best. I love gifting plants—especially ones I’ve propagated myself. There’s something extra meaningful about giving something you’ve grown. Pot it in a beautiful planter, and you’ve got a heartfelt gift that brightens any room.
For the Friend Who’s Always Traveling
A Travel Backpack
I’ve talked about the Weekender before—and I gotta suggest it here too.
For travel regulars, a travel bag is the perfect gift that they will use all the time.
Expedia Gift Card
A gift card to support their next adventure? Honestly, it’s the best. It’s flexible and shows you get their wanderlust.
Travel Essentials Basket
Create a travel-themed gift basket—or fill a travel bag—with must-haves: eye mask, refillable water bottle, a pair of Womads Peep Toe Flats (wink), and your favorite travel book.

Gifts for the Friend Who Has Everything
Towel Warmer
It’s one of those luxuries you didn’t know you needed—until you try it. Perfect for skincare lovers, cold mornings, or anyone who loves feeling cozy.
Handwritten Recipe Cards
One of the most personal and thoughtful gifts I’ve seen. My mother-in-law writes her recipes on cards and gifts them whenever we rave about a dish.
Take it a step further—gather a bunch of handwritten recipes and turn them into a custom cookbook.
Aesop Exfoliating Hand Soap
A little luxury for everyday life. Makes a great stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift. This is also great if you have a budget for your gift. You can stay on budget and still grab something they'll use everyday.
Donation in Their Name
A meaningful gift, especially for coworkers or friends who support causes close to their heart. Most charities provide a certificate or card you can include with a handwritten note.
For the Workout Friend
Class Packs to Their Favorite Studio
Whether it’s Pilates, spin, or cold plunge recovery, a class pack is a gift they’ll actually use—and love.
Workout Journal
Great for the goal-setter or the friend training for something big. Helps track workouts, nutrition, and progress.
Workout Set or Gift Card
As someone who works out regularly, trust me—you can’t go wrong with a matching set. Pick their favorite brand, or give a gift card so they can choose for themselves.
Cold Plunge & Sauna Sessions
This post-workout wellness trend is here to stay. It clears your mind, helps with recovery, and feels amazing once you're through it.
Gift a few sessions at a local wellness studio—it’s self-care and a challenge rolled into one.
For Your Furry Friends
BarkBox (U.S.) / Woof Pack (Canada)
Because pets deserve presents too. These subscription boxes come with themed toys and treats—and you can customize them for your pup’s size, chewing habits, and preferences.
Wrap It Up
The holidays don’t have to be overwhelming. At Womads, we believe the best gifts are thoughtful, useful, and personal—whether that’s a high-quality leather bag or a handwritten recipe card.
So whether you're giving the gift of self-care, comfort, or creativity, we hope this guide helps you with your shopping (and maybe add a little something for yourself too—we won’t tell 😉).
