If shopping for wellness gifts that actually matter feels like trying to read someone’s mind—but with twinkle lights and peppermint mochas—you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the official Pretty Well Holiday Gift Guide. This one is curated for the women who do it all, keep it together, and juggle careers, families, grocery lists, hormone fluctuations, and the emotional workload of remembering all the things.
In other words, you.
Or, those in your life who need a little delight, nourishment, and glow this season.
Every year, I curate a gift guide designed for women who want things that feel good, smell good, work well, and quietly improve their whole life without adding clutter or chaos.
You know: gifts that matter.
This year’s Pretty Well Holiday Gift Guide is packed with beauty favorites, wellness upgrades, cozy comforts, and nervous system–soothers. These are items I’ve used, loved, gifted, and recommended—because they’re thoughtfully designed, elegant in their simplicity, and genuinely helpful for women navigating busy lives, shifting hormones, and the desire to feel good in their own skin.
You’ll find a mix of beauty, home, body, and lifestyle gifts—from tiny stocking stuffers to mindfully chosen splurges—so you can treat the people you love to something truly nourishing.
Think: radiant skin, calmer nervous systems, better sleep, sweeter rituals, and bite-sized luxury you can feel.
Let’s get gifting.

✨ BEAUTY + BODYCARE (wellness gifts that actually deliver)
These gifts are perfect for the friend whose bathroom shelf looks like a Sephora fever dream… or the sister who’s still using the same lotion from 2014 and needs a gentle upgrade.
Jolie Filtered Showerhead
If you want one product that immediately upgrades someone’s daily routine, this is it. The Jolie removes chlorine and hard-water minerals so your skin feels smoother, your hair gets softer, and your shower stops spewing harsh chemicals all over you. Everyone I know who tries this says, “Oh. That’s better.”
OSEA Bodycare Set
Clean, luxurious, ocean-inspired goodness. The OSEA set hydrates, nourishes, and leaves skin feeling supple—not tacky or coated. Plus, it smells divine. It’s the perfect “I want my moisturizer to last all day, not just the first hour after showering” gift.
OSEA Body Butter
If you want to give someone the silkiest skin of their life, this is the product. It’s rich without being greasy, sinks in beautifully, and makes winter dryness surrender immediately.
Goop Dry Brush
Dry brushing is one of those tiny habits that gives big returns: smoother skin, improved lymph flow, and a surprising sense of calm. The Goop brush has the perfect angle and bristle density—no scratchiness, just gentle exfoliation and a side of “I’m doing something good for myself.”
Goop Tinted Lip Balm
This is the easiest way to look alive on days when your face says, “I’m tired,” but your schedule says, “Too bad.” It gives a soft wash of color, hydrates lips, and adds just enough glow to feel polished.
✨ EYES, MAKEUP & SKINCARE (wellness stocking stuffer wins)
Small, delightful upgrades that women love to receive (and rarely buy for themselves).
Terez & Honor Under Eye Patches
Cooling, de-puffing, brightening—these patches help you look rested even when your schedule didn’t cooperate. Keep them in the fridge for maximum effect.
Makeup Eraser 7-Day Set
These microfiber cloths remove makeup with just water—no chemicals, no leftover grime, no wrecked skin barrier. They’re biodegradable, reusable, and perfect for travel, teens, or anyone trying to simplify their routine.

✨ HAIRCARE HEROES (wellness gifts that nourish)
For your curly-haired friends, your blowout devotees, and anyone who appreciates an emotional-support good “hair day”.
Waffle Weave Microfiber Hair Wraps
Lightweight, fast-drying, and frizz-reducing. These wraps prevent breakage, speed dry time, and give you that fresh-out-of-a-spa feeling.
Kitsch Flat Claw Clips
Strong enough to hold thick hair, stylish enough to wear out of the house, and comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing them. Perfect stocking stuffers.
✨ FRAGRANCE + SELF-CARE WELLNESS GIFTS
These are the wellness gifts for women who love small moments of luxury.
DIME Perfume Sampler
A beautiful way to try multiple clean, elegant fragrances without committing to one bottle. Great for anyone who is looking for a signature scent but hasn’t found it yet.
DIME Lovely Sweet Dreams Perfume
Soft, delicious, dreamy. This vanilla, jasmine-inspired scent instantly winds down the nervous system and leaves you smelling unforgettable.
✨ SLEEP, STRESS & NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT
These wellness gifts help women feel grounded—emotionally, physically, and hormonally. Always appreciated. Always needed.
Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock
This is the “I want to wake up without a heart-racing jolt” gift. The Hatch supports circadian rhythms, gently wakes you with gradual light, and helps you unwind with guided wind-downs and calming sounds.
Life-Flo Magnesium Lotion
Magnesium helps muscles relax, eases tension, supports sleep, and calms the nervous system. This lotion is simple, delicious-smelling, and effective way to get all of the benefits of magnesium—without taking pills.
TheraFlow Wooden Foot Massager
An unexpectedly heavenly addition to any home. Roll your feet over it and instantly feel tension melt up through your calves, hips, and low back. Great for anyone who stands a lot, works at a desk, or lives in constant go-mode.
Weighted Eye Pillow
Perfect for meditation, sleep, or stress relief. The weight calms the vagus nerve, relaxes facial tension, and helps drop you into a deeper exhale. A tiny-but-mighty nervous system gift.
