Go beyond the clichés with these surprising gifts.
Let’s be honest. Sometimes, us guys, we don’t know where to start when it comes to buying the perfect gift for that special woman in your life. Fortunately, here at He Spoke Style, we’ve done some homework for you and come up with these 13 gift ideas that are sure to impress.
Melograno Diffuser
Considered the oldest pharmacy in the world, Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella was founded in 1221 as a Dominican friars convent when the friars were granted the use of Santa Maria Inter Vineas (“Holy Mary Among the Vines”) — a small church just outside the city walls where they cultivated a botanical garden of herbs and plants to craft medicines, ointments and balms. Melograno is one of the most iconic and well-known fragrances of Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella and adds an elegant touch to any home (or dressing room).
Ben-Amun Earrings
NYC-based Isaac Manevitz, a longtime CFDA member, is setting a new bar in cool, everyday jewelry. This season, find the signatures that have earned him legions of fans (Rihanna included) and gift this exquisite pair to the lovely lady in your life.
DeMellier Tote
DeMellier’s ‘Tokyo’ tote will serve her well on days where she needs to carry more than just her essentials. It’s been crafted in the South of Spain from croc-effect leather and is detailed with a gold-tone arrow-shaped tab. An exceptionally luxe tote that won’t completely break the bank.
About Time: Fashion and Duration
“About Time: Fashion and Duration” traces the evolution of fashion, from 1870 to the present, through a linear timeline of iconic garments, each paired with an alternate design that jumps forward or backward in time. This book comes highly recommended from HSS Founder, Brian Sacawa’s wife, Robin, and is sure to enchant the fashion lover in your life.
Intimacy Deck Cards For Couples
Let’s face it, men are not always the best at opening up. These cards include questions such as “How did I make you smile this week?” or conversation starters like “I feel most loved when you…” can make the sharing of feelings bit easier. Odds are your partner would love to have some of these conversations and this is an easy way to start a conversation.
Soak No. 3 Herbal Bath Salts
A good bath can reduce stress from busy days, tenderly care for a weary body and provide a rejuvenating sense of cleanliness. The Soak No. 3 Herbal Bath Salts from Maude will help achieve all three. Hand-harvested salt contains minerals like zinc, magnesium and potassium while the addition of vetiver, sandalwood and eucalyptus add to the full sensory experience.
Satin Pillowcase
She’ll think you spent much more than you really did with these satin pillowcases as Bedsure offers a luxurious feel at an affordable price. Your biggest question is which color to choose. We recommend getting creative and considering a color that might complement her eyes, her favorite night gown or a piece of art in the bedroom. That will make for a nice line when given.
Pure Silk Sleep Mask
We can’t put a price on a good night of sleep. Unfortunately, it so often alludes so many. The silk sleep mask from SLIP can encourage better rest, either at home or when traveling. This soft, thick sleep mask is a wellness gift for that special someone in your life.
Plush Velvet Jewelry Box
From what we understand, jewelry decisions while traveling are complicated. Comfort may be a priority. Thought must be given to versatility for different outfits. And, yes, storage may be a challenge. This plush velvet jewelry box might not make the jewelry inside it more comfortable or have any say in outfit combinations, but it can make transportation and storage significantly easier.
Folding Lighted Makeup Mirror
Hotel lighting is hit or miss, but traveling with this folding, lighted makeup mirror from deweisn will mitigate those challenges for someone in your life. With multiple shades of light and easy dimmability, this mirror will match the desires of just about anyone. It might even earn space on the vanity at home.
Chai Tea Gift Set
Tea makes for a wonderful gift as there is an endless variety to explore. A hot cup as part of the morning wake up habit or evening winding down routine is such a treat. This collection of 12 loose leave chai teas from India is beautifully packaged and includes a wide variety of chais.
Bergamot & Hinoki Hand Cream
Many of the fairer sex treasure hand creams as gold. Hinoki is a cherished Japanese cypress that adds layers of woodiness and light citrus. Complement this with bergamot and we have a hand cream from Salt & Stone you might just want for yourself.
Donegal Cashmere Mittens
Mittens make great gifts. They are fun and whimsical, even if somewhat impractical at times. A bit of forced time outside without a phone in the palm of the hand is a gift in and of itself. These beautiful mittens are simple in design, but the cashmere make them a luxurious and comfortable choice.
The Bottom Line
From croc-embossed leather totes to cashmere mittens, we covered a lot of ground with this guide. We know you care about finding something special for that special woman in your life, or you wouldn’t have made it this far. Give the gift some thought, but spend more time on a thoughtful card and deciding how to deliver your gift in a way that shows how much the receiver means to you.
