Gift giving is such a special tradition that has been passed down through generations. Though it is a fun part of the holidays, it can also be challenging to know what to get that special woman on your list. This is a curated gift guide for women that will help you find the perfect gift for her.
Picking out a gift is easier if you focus on her personality, lifestyle, and interest. Here are some questions to ask yourself – What does she needs? What are her current interest? Is there something she’s been talking about purchasing? The holidays are a perfect time to gift things that she wants but hasn’t gotten herself yet.
Gift Guide for Women – Cottage Inspired
This gift guide is tailored to the cottage women – the ones who appreciate the little things in life, wanders barefoot amongst the trees, frolics in the garden, like cups of tea (or coffee) on the porch, or likes to wind down with a hot bath.
These recommendations are able to be curated for any interest your cottage woman currently has.
Handmade Goods
The act of creating something with your hands will far surpass any gift you could buy. Handmade gifts are so special. If you have a particular craft use your skills to make her something unique. This way of gifting is highly encouraged!!
- baked goods
- jewelry
- something sewn
- leather products
- candles
- painted garden decor
- things that can be crafted particular for them.
An Electuary
Handcrafted with organic herbs & raw honey to help support, soothe, & nourish. Electuaries are ancestral remedies that can be easily incorporated into a daily routine because they are delightful in every way. They are the perfect stocking stuffer or could be paired with a ceramic mug. My favorite right now is the Herbal Honey Cocoa which is infused with warming and uplifting herbs.

A Book on Her TBR
Any book loving woman will happily tell you what she plans to read next but if you don’t want to ruin the surprise go take a peak at her Goodreads app. You’ll find all the books she’d love to find under the tree in the ‘To Be Read’ section. Also bookish women love book merch so if she can’t stop talking about a ‘certain’ book (probably a court of thorns and roses if I had to guess) there are lots of small shops that you can support this holiday season.
Tea (or coffee)
There is nothing more cozy than a hot cup of tea during the winter months. Find a fun new tea blend to try! To make it even more special have afternoon tea with this cottage woman. Pair this with a tea towel, a set of gold stirring spoons, or a tea strainer.
Flower Seeds
A gift that will bring smiles and joy in the present and future. Sunflower seeds are a favorite of mine to gift because they are for any level of gardener and just absolutely gorgeous. Pair with a beautiful planter, gardening tools, or gardening overalls if you are wanting to scale it up a bit.
A Sweet Treat
Who doesn’t love a chocolate bar or some candy…
- a batch of cookies with a new apron and a set of wooden cooking utensils.
- brownie mix in a jar (another one that you can DIY) with a new mixing bowl.
- a couple handcrafted chocolate bars, herbal bath soak, and a luffa
DIY Kit
A project to work on after the adventures of the day. Things like a book nook, DIY lip balm, hand embroidery, printmaking, and miniature kits are great for keeping the hands busy. Busy hands = calm mind.

Beeswax Candles
An easy way for your cottage woman to romanticize life. She can bring them to the bath, shower, reading nook, or the dinner table to create a romantic ambiance. These are also fun to make yourself. You can buy beeswax from a local beekeeper and some wicks from amazon. You can repurpose tea cups, ceramic planters, or make fun shapes with molds.
Herbal Bath Soak
After a long day she deserves a nice long hot soak and the best way to enjoy a bath is with some herbs.

Putting it All Together
All of the things mentioned in this gift guide for women go together well. Thrift a cute basket (cottage women love baskets) and put it all together with some rustic bows.
Whatever you gift her this year will be special, Merry Christmas!
