Women’s Gift Ideas for the Christmas Season

Along with the the cold weather, the holidays are upon us. Meaning, there’s no better time than now to curl up with a good book. The following four titles are perfect options, either for yourself on a snow day, or, of course, making perfect women’s gift ideas.

Historical novel about two sisters in World War 1.

Give yourself a little self-love this season. Pick up Sisters of the Great War, your favorite snacks and a mug of hot chocolate or glass of wine.

Have a history-lover in your life? This is the book for them! Inspired by real women, this novel tells the story of two unconventional American sisters who volunteer for the World War 1 effort, one as a nurse, the other as a driver. As I’m sure you remember from American History classes, women played a critical role during the Great War, and you (or the gift recipient) will absolutely feel inspired after reading this story of resilience and sacrifice.

New suspense novel, The Mother Next Door.

We’ve all been there - trying to fit in with a new group of tightknit, long-time friends. Such is the place Teresa Wallace found herself when moving to Ivy Woods Drive. The suburban mothers gather for the annual Halloween block party and secrets from the past come back to haunt them in this suspense novel filled with secrets and consequences. FYI, this is what I’m currently reading, and it’s a page-turner for sure!

The Christmas Escape, a novel about finding and keeping relationships.

USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan delivers another captivating novel, when an unbreakable friendship is put to the test. A Christmas getaway is planned to Leland with Christy Sullivan, her family and best friend Alix. Needing time alone with her husband while facing a crisis in their marriage, Christy asks Alix to take their daughter, and all can reunite on Christmas day. Get this on the list for December book clubs! You’ll love the unraveling secrets and unexpected romance, while fighting for the wanted relationships life brings each of them.

Sleigh Bells Ring: a love story with a Christmas atmosphere.

Holiday romance with a side of Christmas magic? Yes, please! Annie McCade and Tate Sheridan only needed a little bit of holiday enchantment, which just might be found, while Tate is trying to sell his family’s property, which once belonged to Annie’s family. Employed there as the live-in caretaker, she thinks it won’t be a problem to bring her niece and nephew, who recently lost their mother, to celebrate Christmas. The sparkle of the season makes this a feel-good option for a snowy weekend spent at home.

Bonus Inspo: Basket Gift Ideas

One of my very favorite gift-giving items to put together are baskets filled with items my friends and loved ones will enjoy. If you’re wondering what to give your friends this Christmas, put together something they’ll cherish: a Winter Self-Care Basket. Include the following: a book (or 4, wink wink), bottle of wine and cute glasses, or hot chocolate bombs and mugs, bath salts, slippers and lotion. Viola! Items that will be treasured and used all winter long!
