As a sales associate at Nordstrom, I spend all day styling customers for special occasions and updating their wardrobe with both timeless staples as well as trendy items for the season. One of the top questions my friends always ask is- “So… what’s like… a good gift to get my significant other? What do people even buy these days??”
Well you’re in luck my friends, below is a compilation of Lieutalica’s Top Holiday Gifts for Her organized by price point (rest assured, a list for Him is on its way!).
ANOTHER HUMAN X UO Natural Crystal Mirror $22
Made by Another Human in exclusive collaboration with UO, this circular mirror sits in a natural crystal base for a functional tabletop art piece reminiscent of nature and truly one of a kind! Choose from rose quartz; known as a symbol of the heart, said to promote love as well as attract romance, or fluorite (pictured above); known as a balancing stone, said to ground and stabilize all energies for living in harmony. Formed by nature, each stone base is magnificently one-of-a-kind and, therefore, may vary slightly from what’s pictured.
Power crystals have quickly become one of the hottest commodities this holiday season in response to the idea of wanting to be in tune with your spirituality through meditation and the use of power stones. For those who enjoy the aesthetic but crave functionality, this item offers the perfect balance. This mirror can be purchased online at Urban Outfitters for $22.
UO 2 Piece Metallic Ombre Stemless Flute Glass $29
Following the trend of Sunday Brunch, spirits such as rosé and champagne have become wildly trendy for young women in metropolitan cities such as Los Angeles who like to think of themselves as “boss babes”. These flute glasses feature a metallic ombré finish that add an added flair to your usual glass of wine and photograph beautifully for special occasions and get togethers.
This gift can be easily paired with your partner’s favorite bottle of wine and flowers for a non-traditional twist to every girl’s favorite gifts. If your partner is like me and doesn’t drink, these glasses can also be filled with pebbles and repurposed as a flower vase. These glasses can be purchased at Urban Outfitters for $29.
GORJANA Power Stone Bracelet $38
Based in Laguna Beach and inspired by the California lifestyle, Gorjana Reidel creates jewelry with a light, delicate feel that encourages lavish layering. Her eponymous line includes pieces that can be styled multiple ways, such as ingenious adjustable necklaces, stackable stone bracelets and mixable, matchable ring sets. Clean-lined design makes each piece a modern classic.
Not only is the rose gold color story totally on trend for the season, the adjustable design makes this bracelet truly “one size fits all”. For petite women with thin wrists, this bracelet will not slip off as many bracelets traditionally do. This bracelet can be purchased at Nordstrom for $38.
UO

These lights will create a dreamy atmosphere in any room, whether hung on its own or layered over posters and tapestries. The tiny LED bulbs are strung along a 98 ft. long delicate copper wire, long enough to span the length of a whole wall. The electrical adapter is water-resistant, so the lights are safe to use indoors or in a covered outdoor area such as a patio.
Perfect as a backdrop for her next insta post or mood lighting for a relaxing night in, these lights will transform her room and inspire your partner to make her space her own. This gift can be paired with a Fujifilm X UO Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera and Fujifilm Instax Mini Film for the ultimate room decorating kit. All three items can be purchased at Urban Outfitters.
GUCCI GG Marmont Quilted Leather Cardholder $250
Gucci’s ‘Marmont’ cardholder is a chic alternative to a bulky wallet. Made in Italy from quilted leather, it has four card slots and a middle compartment to hold receipts or tickets. The burnished ‘GG’ hardware is a signature pulled from the brand’s archives.
For your everyday woman on the go, this cardholder is perfect for carrying the essentials- an ID, credit card, debit card and cash. This is the perfect gift for someone who really wants to spoil their partner but doesn’t want to spend designer prices. This cardholder can be purchased at Net-a-Porter for $250.
CALPAK Ambeur 2 Piece Spinner Luggage Set $285
A lightweight hard shell provides durable, easy-to-maneuver utility in this sleek spinner suitcase set fitted with four multidirectional wheels for effortless airport navigation. The zippered divider creates two separate packing compartments, and an expansion sleeve unzips to increase the packing capacity.
This duo of chromatic suitcases is perfectly insta-worthy for any luxurious vacation you have planned for 2018. Whether you’re planning a suicide trip to Vegas or a monthlong excursion around Europe, these durable suitcases will be the gifts that just keep giving. This item can also be purchased as a single suitcase for $135. Both items are available for purchase at Nordstrom.
LA PERLA Silk Short Robe $384

Founded in the 1950’s by Italian woman Ada Masotti, La Perla has become synonymous with lust, love and feminine beauty. The company’s core values of female empowerment, an obsession over the finest quality materials and the need for intelligent design remain today and is evident in every collection.
This 100% silk robe feels like butter against the skin and will make any woman feel like a queen. Whether she enjoys it at home after a long bath or keeps it at your place for a relaxing night in, this robe is a sexy gift more functional than lingerie. For your modern ladies, this robe can also be styled with jewelry and heels for a comfortable night out. This luxurious robe can be purchased at La Perla for $384.

Anthony Thomas Melillo brings over a decade of industry experience to his namesake line. Launched in 2012 with the goal of creating a perfect-fitting T-shirt, the brand expanded into a full range of staple pieces coveted for their superior fabrics, construction and comfort. If you’re looking to build a wardrobe of enduring, uncomplicated outfits, start here.
This grey velvet slipdress is the effortlessly elegant holiday dress your partner needs but doesn’t know yet. The color of the dress can be easily paired with silver or gold jewelry, and dressed up with heels for company holiday parties or with sneakers and a sweater for date night. Velvet is a top fabrication trend for this holiday season, and this ultra-buttery fabric will be the most comfortable piece in your partner’s closet. This item can be purchased at Nordstrom for $395.
CHLOÉ Nile Bag $1790

“With its on-the-money metal ring handle, it’s the shape of the season,” says The EDIT of Chloé’s ‘Nile Bracelet’ bag. This Italian-crafted piece has a distinctive saddle silhouette and is made from smooth gray leather with soft suede side panels. Wear it on your wrist as the ultimate wristlet or long on the body with the leather strap.
Chloé’s Nile bag was first spotted on bloggers this past New York Fashion Week, and the bag has quickly been gaining popularity since. There have already been many brands that have tried to emulate this silhouette, but the sturdy and well-crafted quality of a Chloé bag is unrivaled. This purse can be purchased on Net-A-Porter for $1790.

Love it! Can’t believe how popular the Chloe bag is but it’s definitely very sleek and stylish
