It’s officially the giving season, and if you‘re like us and refuse to start shopping until December, we’ve got some well-timed gift ideas for the lady in your life. Whether it’s your wife, bestie, or mother, women are often the most thoughtful gift givers, so do her a favour and skip the basic cashmere scarf, gloves, or candle this year and dazzle her instead with one of our luxe hand-selected gifts below.
Le Rouge Celine Satin Lipstick in 01 Rouge Triomphe, $94 CAD
Fashion girlies this is not a drill. Celine Beauté is finally available just in time for the holidays. Packaged in a beautiful tiny Celine box, the golden Rouge Triomphe make a gorgeous gift or luxurious stocking stuffer. While the collection itself doesn’t drop till early next year, the first lipstick is available in one of the most perfect and timeless shades of red.
The Row Ingle Hat in Wool, $1750
For the girl that has it all, skip the basic bitch beanie this holiday and pick up this Ingle Hat from The Row. As you’d expect, the quality of this piece is just exquisite. Made in Italy from wool and domed metal accents, the tassel chain trimmings and the tufted tops make for an extremely chic, unexpected and playful gift. A perfect gift for a Row collector or newbie sure to make her jingle all the way home.

Phoebe Philo Drive Bag in Lipstick Red, $7500 CAD
Gifting a handbag is an art, it can’t be too wild or basic either, so you must choose wisely. If there’s a fashion girlie on your list this year, this Phoebe Philo Drive Bag is sure to surprise and delight. Available in very limited quantities at a true luxury price point, the Drive Bag comes in a festive and on-trend lipstick red, with vertically quilted calfskin and a black lamb skin lining. It’s equal parts timeless and daring and promises not to disappoint.
Hermès Osmose Ring, $900 CAD
Nothing screams festive like a little orange box. Hermès jewelry is always a classic choice, and we love gifting the Chaine d’ancre pieces year after year. Timeless for every day and incredibly chic on its own, the Osmose ring reimagines Robert Dumas’ iconic Chaine d’ancre motif, which has been one of the house’s most celebrated symbols since its creation in 1938. These incredibly special pieces make perfect gifts because they’re simple, elegant, and above all wearable.
Henry Rose Eau de Parfum, $165 CAD
A scent for the clean beauty queen on your list this season, Michelle Pfeiffer’s Henry Rose is the first fine fragrance collection that’s both EWG Verified and Cradle to Cradle Certified, meaning it doesn’t disrupt your endocrine system as all other fragrances do. While it’s hard to choose just one from the collection, we like Jake’s House best for its freshness, light hint of neroli and clean finish that is perfect for everyday wear. Top notes of fresh marine mix with peony, jasmine, and neroli, balanced out but bottom notes of ambroxan and musk.
Officine Universelle Buly 1803 Baume Des Muses, $48 CAD
The only lip balm you’ll ever need in the cutest packaging possible. You’ve probably seen the viral videos online of the personalization service in-store experience in Paris, but Officine Universelle Buly has boutiques worldwide and can be customized and ordered online as well. Made of only organic ingredients, the Baume des Muses is moisturizing, repairing, and protective – exactly what you need during the colder months of the year. This is the perfect gift for literally anyone on your list this holiday.
ZANKOV Masha Cardigan, $1195 USD
Is there anything more delightful to receive at the holidays than a ruby red cardigan? This perfectly tailored midweight ribbed wool cardigan with classic black button closures is from New York’s hottest knitwear designer ZANKOV. Recently nominated for the CFDA Emerging Designer Of The Year award, Henry Zankov has been churning out limited drops of covetable must-have knit pieces in intoxicating colours.
Charvet Slippers, $450 USD
Slippers are surely one of the most elegant and timeless gifts to give and receive and these ones are for the fashion girlies who know. Charvet’s sleek understated silhouette works as a daytime alternative to a loafer as well as at home when you want to feel just a tad bougie and the Ugg’s just aren’t hitting. Made in France from fine leather and suede, these slippers also come with a matching storage pouch that’s perfect for travelling.
TEKLA Marseille Striped Bathrobe, $290 CAD
Often imitated, never duplicated Tekla robes make amazing gifts for anyone on your list. The Copenhagen-based brand makes towels, sheets and loungewear, but their robes put them on the map. Available in wonderful stripes and solid colours, they’re made from cozy heavyweight 385 gsm OEKO-TEX certified organic cotton terry cloth you’ll never want to take off.
