Holiday Shopping List for the “It Girl” in Your Life

Some women are impossible to shop for. They already own the good perfume, they have opinions about candle scents, and if you try to give them anything basic, they’ll quietly re-gift it to their cousin.

This list is for her—the it girl who likes her life a little decadent, a little mischievous, and always aesthetically pleasing. These are the gifts she’ll actually use, proudly display, or slip into her bag with a smug little smile because yes… she really is that girl.

The pill case you’re not embarassed by

Every it girl carries a little magic with her and sometimes that magic looks like Advil, allergy meds, or something a touch more… scandalous.

This gold-and-black pill case with the little snake detail is the kind of thing that makes you feel like a woman who has secrets. It’s discreet, stylish, and keeps your essentials from rolling around the bottom of your bag like a chaotic gremlin.

Tatcha KissSuit Hydrating & Plumping Lip Mask

Tatcha The Kissu Hydrating & Plumping Lip Mask

If you know, you know: sensitive lips are dramatic. Mine demand the right kind of attention and hydration.

The Tatcha KissSuit lip mask is the first product that actually made a noticeable difference. It hydrates, plumps, softens, and gives you lips that look like they’re ready for trouble. I wear it at night, and sometimes during the day when I’m working, because I deserve the dreamiest of lips.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir Prep, Set, Glow Face Mist

Caudalie Beauty Elixir: Prep, Set, Glow, Flirt

This face mist isn’t just skincare—it’s a moment.

A spritz of this and suddenly you’re awake, refreshed, and mysteriously prettier than you were five seconds ago. The scent is intoxicating in the best way, like a botanical slap across the face, and it’s been a staple in my arsenal for years.

It preps, it sets, it revives, and it gives your skin that lit-from-within thing it girls are famous for. Consider this her new morning ritual.


Vintage Matches for Her Candle-Lighting Rituals

There is nothing sexy about lighting a candle with a flimsy cardboard matchbox.

But a set of beautiful vintage matches? Now that feels like theatre. And let’s be honest, how people use their matches is entirely up to them. We’re not judging.

But if she’s going to have matches lying around, they might as well look like props from a French film.

A Palo Santo Holder for Clearing Energy

End-of-year energy needs cleansing. Palo Santo has long been used for removing bad vibes, inviting protection, grounding the spirit, and making a room feel a little less cursed by the ghosts of exes past.

But balancing a burning stick on a plate is how house fires start. A chic Palo Santo holder keeps the ashes contained, your furniture un-scorched, and your cleansing session looking extremely intentional.


100% Silk Pillowcase

It girls do not sleep on cheap satin. Satin is synthetic. It doesn’t breathe. It traps heat and makes everything worse.

Real silk is cool, smooth, breathable, and feels like slipping into a subtle fantasy every night.

I swear by mine—they’re affordable, come in every colour imaginable, and instantly make your bed feel like the softest, quietest luxury.

Jonathan Adler Valet Tray

This is for the woman whose jewellery somehow migrates across her entire home like tiny nomadic treasures.

A valet tray gives a beautiful place to drop your earrings, rings, hair clips, and whatever else needs to be shed at the end of the day.

Jonathan Adler designs are bold, glamorous, and just a touch cheeky—basically the energy we’re cultivating at all times.

Gift Her the Things She Didn’t Know She Needed

The it girl in your life already knows what she likes—but she’ll love being surprised by something that elevates her rituals, plays with her mischievous streak, or adds a little luxury to her everyday chaos. Every gift on this list is something she’ll actually use and secretly brag about. Because when you give her something beautiful, she becomes even more herself… and that’s the real gift.
