Best Bath Soak

Up the pamper quotient with a box of handmade Fizzy Truffles. These ultra-moisturizing bath bombs contain eight essential oils—including coconut, grapeseed, sweet almond, olive, avocado, and jojoba—and are frosted in shea butter “icing” for an extra dose of hydration. The best part? These oils won’t stain tubs, linens, or the skin, so you can simply relax post-bath.

Luxe Leisurewear

Being a homebody doesn’t have to mean sitting around in grungy sweats. Give her something comfy, but luxurious like Lunya’s washable cashmere and merino wool loungewear. The classic crewneck and jogger pant are perfect for staying cozy indoors and stylish enough to wear while running errands or heading to the airport.

Crewneck, $178, and matching jogger, $198; available at lunya.co

Sumptuous Scarf

A scarf is a perfect gift for any woman. The only thing you need to consider is what color will look amazing next to her face (and this shouldn’t be too hard; just think about the colors she usually wears). If you want to be sure she has options, go for one by Blue Pacific. Their cashmere and silk ombre scarves feature gorgeous color combos and a wonderfully long length (about 80″), allowing her to either wind it artfully around her neck or use it as a wrap.

High-End Handbag

If your lady has been extra nice, gift her a luxury handbag from the house of Delage (read up on how to buy a high-end bag here). Originally launched in 1905 as an automobile maker, Delage was celebrated for its top-performing, ultra-luxurious cars. Fast-forward to today, and Delage has created a line of handbags that references its vehicles’ Art Deco-era beauty, from incorporating the shape of its famous radiator grill to the channel-stitch detail of the padded interior. Finally, the inside is lined in Delage red leather, in honor of the company’s signature hue.

Perfect Poncho

This cashmere ruana by Minnie Rose is uncomplicated for her to wear and for you to buy. The classic poncho with an asymmetrical hem can be thrown over everything from a tank top to a turtleneck. We like that it comes in statement-making hues like orange and teal. Plus, it’s a one-size-fits-all piece, so no need to stress out over picking the perfect fit.
