Pressed Glass Photo Ornament

Give small presents big meaning by adding a personalized touch. With this Artifact Uprising ornament, you can frame your favorite photo and relive a memory again and again.

This one comes in three shapes (oval, circle, and landscape) and two grosgrain ribbons in maroon and blue.

I love the vintage feel of this brass design that looks like a locket. It’s perfect for hanging on a Christmas tree or anywhere at home throughout the year!

For the holidays, I’m gifting this as a stocking stuffer for my mom.

Bandolier

Ever since I got my Bandolier phone case and wristlet strap, I’ve been using it every single day. It’s such a savior when I’m on the go, holding a matcha in one hand and my purse in the other.

In addition to how useful and durable these are, Bandolier has a wide range of stylish phone cases and accessories to suit every taste.

They just dropped their Luxe Gift Set, which lets you bundle and save. It comes with a Remi Magnet Crossbody, Expanded Pouch, Wristlet Strap, plus a cute gift box — so it’s ready to give as-is.

No need to scramble to find those keys, lipstick, and phone charger with these on-the-go pouches. You can easily throw them inside your purse for easy access to your things while keeping them protected.

These little lifesavers are a practical gift that comes in two sizes and five colors. My personal favorite is the blush pink!

A gold calendar that makes a personal gift

Artifact Uprising 
Brass Easel & Calendar

In my opinion, the best gifts are more elevated versions of everyday items. This Artifact Uprising calendar is just that. 

Since you can customize this with your own photos, it instantly becomes a meaningful gift. You can also select the finish color as well as the font style and color.

When this calendar arrived in the mail, I was honestly so impressed by the quality of the thick, matte photo paper that has a nice textured feel. I gave this to my sister and love seeing her use it as home decor every time I’m over for a visit.


keychain small gifts for women
keote

keote 
Keychain Tote

It sounds dramatic to say, but this keychain + tote (hence the name “keote”) makes a world of difference.

Even though I have a TON of tote bags, maybe even more than 100, I still struggle to choose which one to carry when I’m rushing out the door. 

Why? Most of them are either 1) not the right size, 2) don’t match my outfit, or 3) I’m not sure whether or not I’ll even need to use it. 

This keote solves all three issues since it’s portable, folds easily, and is a chic keychain that still serves a purpose (and a conversation starter) when it’s not being used as a bag. Win-win-win.

See all the neutral colors it comes in here.

Sasha Earrings

These sculptural earrings caught my eye recently, and I love them even more after learning about the inspiration. 

Made by Vancouver, Canada-based jewelry designer Kara Yoo, this pair from her Vessels collection is an ode to the gourd in Korean culture. It’s meant to symbolize abundance, protection, and renewal. 

As for the materials, it’s sustainably made with 14K gold-plated brass set with bezel-set stones. Overall, these look and feel luxurious for everyday wear and special occasions.

Consider this the little black dress of sunglasses. Lately, this pair is the one I keep reaching for again and again since it’s so easy to match with casual to dressy outfits.

The slim oval shape looks modern and feels lightweight, making accessorizing easy.

If you’re looking for versatile small gift ideas for women, these sunglasses are sure to make a big impression.

I wore this cashmere pair throughout my London trip, and it kept me warm and cozy. Pair it with the matching fashion accessories — a pom-pom beanie and scarf for a complete set!

Who says you can’t buy time? This must-have accessory is a fun take on a classic watch. 

Covered in crystals and gold-tone stainless steel, this glamorous pick is one of the easiest ways to dress up a look.

Every time I wear this, it serves as a reminder to look at my watch ring to tell the time instead of my phone and to stay present. 


BEAUTY — SMALL GIFTS FOR WOMEN

La Perla

La Perla
Luminous Eau de Parfum Gift Set Trio

Scent is often associated with memories, which is why fragrances are such a meaningful gift with a personal touch.

This unique scent is a fresh take on the signature scent, and it strikes the perfect balance between floral and woody. 

Key notes include ambrette seed, jasmine, and cedarwood. Not only are La Perla Beauty’s products aesthetically pleasing, but they’re also clean and sustainable, too. The bottle is refillable so it can be reused and loved for years to come. 

This set also comes with a travel version of the fragrance as well as a luxurious hand cream.


Gucci red lipstick present
GUCCI Beauty

Gucci Beauty
Rosso Ancora Lipstick Gift Set

Can there be a more iconic lip color than red? This highly pigmented lipstick set will definitely brighten your giftee’s day. 

These three shades of red make for the best beauty gifts that flatter every skin tone. The formula glides on as smoothly as silk, feels super lightweight, and nourishes lips with hydrating oils.

These all aim to brighten and firm the under eye area. This set makes it easy to turn any day to a special day to relax at home. It also comes packaged in a wintery blue box that’s ready for gifting.


A set of press-on nails, a practical gift idea for her
imPRESS Nails

KISS Products imPRESS Nails
Press-On Manicure Set

These chip-proof and smudge-proof press-on nails are a better way to give you a manicure in less than ten minutes. 

All you need to do is press them on and go; no glue is needed since each nail is backed with an adhesive. 

This French manicure set is a super versatile style that I personally use more than any other design. The glossy finish and jewels add a modern flair that elevates any look.

Tip: Make sure to use the alcohol wipe on your nails before applying the press-on nails. This removes natural oils, which helps them stay on longer!

Kitsch
Metal Gemstone and Bow Bobby Pins 4 Piece Set

These decorative pins are a reminder that small things can make all the difference. 

The gemstone designs are like an upgraded, fancier version of classic bobby pins. And the bow clips are perfect for the coquette trend

Add one of these hair accessories to elevate your look or stack them together for an impactful style. You can’t go wrong with these $10 small gifts for women.


Hourglass makeup palette makeup gift
Hourglass

Hourglass
Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Collection

Every day is an excuse to add shimmer and shine, and this Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit palette couldn’t be more on point. 

Whoever you choose to gift this to can bask in good lighting (and good selfies) no matter where they are. 

The secret to this palette — filled with powders, blushes, and a bronzer — is its Photoluminescent Technology, which makes a huge impact on diffusing the surrounding light to give off that dreamy soft-focus effect.


WELLNESS — SMALL GIFTS FOR WOMEN

Pink sleep mask wellness gift idea
Drowsy Sleep Co.

16/17

Drowsy Sleep Co.
Silk Sleep Mask In Damask Rose

There’s nothing like the gift of beauty sleep, and this luxe, fluffy sleep mask will help with just that. 

Drowsy Sleep Co. was founded by two brothers who worked in the hospitality business and suffered from chronic insomnia and burnout. They created their brand to help people get better rest, and are now the cult sleep mask. 

I’ve been using it for over a year now and can say it’s a game-changer. Like the box notes, it’s the “no straps, total blackout, sound muffling, pure heaven, cushioned head-cocoon.” 

Plus, the mulberry silk material helps protects your hair and skin so you can focus on one thing: catching those zzz’s. For an item that’s used every single night, trust me, it’s worth it.


8Greens gummies and tablets on a white background

8Greens
Super Greens Gummies And Tablets

After taking 8GREENS for a while, it still surprises me (in the best way) how just two of these Super Greens Gummies are equivalent to eight cups of spinach, ten stalks of asparagus, seven stalks of celery, and two cups of broccoli. 

Taking two to four gummies a day helps boost your metabolism, immunity, and focus. Not only does this product make it super convenient to get more greens, but it’s also delicious. 

My favorite flavor are the peach gummies, which actually taste like the fruit and satisfy my candy cravings without the guilt.

8GREENS also come in tablets that are packed with the benefits of eating vegetables and fruits. This variety pack aims to increase metabolism, immunity, and focus. Great for traveling, just drop one into a glass of water to get your dose of goodness.
