    Gift-giving season is upon us, and now is the time to place your orders. If you’re looking for the best of the best when it comes to shopping ideas, I made an edit of the best gifts for women this season, including everything from designer bags to custom monogrammed pieces, and I’ve mapped out ideas that have my personal stamp of approval.

    This year, I have my eye on items spanning fashion, beauty, home, and more. Some of my favorite giftable pieces include extra-virgin olive oil imported from Sicily, luxe cashmere knits, weekend bags that are the next best thing to a trip abroad, beautiful investment jewelry from Cartier that will stay in someone’s wardrobe forever, and the travel magazine to get for anyone who is perpetually planning their next vacation. Ahead, the 55 best gifts for women at every price point, according to me.

    Kristen Nichols
    Associate Director, Who What Wear

    Hi, everyone. Kristen here! I've worked in fashion for over a decade and joined Who What Wear in 2017. I work on stories that tap into my interest in what people are talking about in fashion, with a passion for on-the-rise brands. After graduating from USC studying art history and business, I started at Rodarte, working on everything from photo shoots to runway shows, and then moved into editorial at Allure. My personal sense of style is a mix of sharp tailoring and everyday items. In my off-hours, you'll find me watching movies, heading to local museums, or figuring out where I can travel next.
