Hither & Thither Gift Guide: For Her

GIFT guide for her

  1. Updated classics: these lined duck boots are less clunky than most weather-proof shoes. (I also like these. And these—most are made annually.)
  2. A entire collection of (brilliant) funny-lady memoirs. Or just one. (Consider: Dunham’s Not That Kind of Girl
    , Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
    , Poehler’s Yes Please
    , Fey’s Bossypants
    , Ephron’s I Feel Bad About My Neck
    , or Diane Keaton’s Then Again
    .)
  3. Sing it with me: Five golden rings.
  4. Because her hands are full. And you want to let her know that you know it. [Update: sold out]
  5. A friend who is a florist gave me this. It makes everything prettier.
  6. Succulents are trending for a reason. #awesome.
  7. Royal Flush cards. Because she follows Duchess Kate Midleton closer than the paparazzi.
  8. The prettiest water bottle
     she never knew she needed.
  9. Indulge her love for hats.
  10. Bracelets for layering. Or cuffing on each wrist.
  11. Because your iPhone is not a timepiece: A classic watch (that looks more expensive than it is).
  12. Can’t lose with a little Friday Night Lights.

More gift guides for her. Last year’s is still a favorite—I could pretty much post it again verbatim today. (Coming up: Gifts for him, the kiddo, and everyone else.)

We start the advent calendar this morning, but before we deck the halls and trim that tree, a few favorite photos from the holiday weekend and Skyler’s first Thanksgiving.

Later today: the first of this week’s holiday gift guides. (They’ll be posted each day this week, in the afternoon.)

Hope your holiday is filled with things that make you happy—perhaps some good friends, good food, and some good downtime. We have so much to be thankful for, and I’m grateful for a holiday to celebrate it. And it’s a pleasure sharing so many of those things with such kind readers.

Happy Thanksgiving!
