Throughout the month of December most of the women in your life are go, go, go. With all that’s on everyone plates, finding a gift that shows how much you appreciate them now and throughout the entire year can be a bit tricky. To help get your inspiration churning we’ve picked out a few of our favorite gifts for women this holiday season.
Wax Warmer Set from Happy Wax
Who doesn’t love walking into a house full of beautiful smells. I love candles but I’m always terrified that I’ll forget and leave the house with one burning. Wax warmers from Happy Wax are the perfect alternative for those who love the smell of candles but are worried about forgetting to leave them burning (like me).
Made in Durham, North Carolina with all natural soy wax and infused with essential oils, Happy Wax melts are perfect for gift for anyone who loves a beautiful smelling home. Each melt is molded into an adorable shape and available in mixed sets of scents. I chose the spa day scene package with scents of bamboo, lavender chamomile and eucalyptus spearmint. Completely paraffin and phthalate-free there is no worry about releasing chemicals into your home as you enjoy the scent.
Each signature Happy Wax warmer features a 3, 6, or 9 hour timer, allowing you to ‘set it and forget it’ with complete peace of mind. I love knowing that my warmer will automatically click off when its done! Each warmer includes the ‘No Scrape’ silicone melt dish that allows you to easily pop out used wax and start over with a fresh scent. No need to soak for hours and hope that the leftover wax comes off!
Right now for the holiday season Happy Wax has a whole slew of amazing discounts including 50% off all holiday sets. First time customers can also receive 10% off their first purchase with code: “IHEARTWAX”.

Craft Light from BrightTech
When you are burning the midnight oil working on holiday gifts there is no reason to also strain your eyes in the process. My sewing station is set up in our basement so I can leave things out in between projects but the overall poor lighting was making it hard to get things finished. With the LightView Rolling Light from BrightTech I can now work all hours of the day without having any trouble seeing what I’m working on.
The adjustable arm and rolling base allows you to bring the LightView wherever you need it to complete a project. A 9 watt LED light has an over 20 year lifespan and provides 800 lumens of brightness, perfect for seeing fine details as you work. The light is fully dimmable, so if there’s too much glare or shine you can even adjust the brightness as you work.
For projects that need a bit more up close view it’s easy to flip open the magnifier door and add 175% magnification. From sewing to knitting and bead work there are so many things ou can do with the LightView!

Leggings from Tani
Most weekends I live in leggings and workout pants. A good pair of leggings is something no one can have too many of and the Go Leggings from Tani are my new ‘Go-To’ for being comfortable throughout the weekend. Tani is known for their mens underwear (and were also featured in my gifts for men guide) but their ladies options are equally amazing.
Made from a lightweight french terry knit, the Go legging has a comfortable 4 way stretch that stays in place throughout the day. Solid fabric means that these leggings can in fact pass as pants and are machine washable so you could easily wear every day of the week!

Cat DNA Test from Basepaws
If you have a cat owner in your life you know how much they love their cat. Purebred cats are way less common then purebred dogs and you’ve probably wondered exactly what makes your cat look or behave the way they do. When shopping for the cat lady in your life, a DNA test for their favorite feline is just the treat to really make their holiday special.
For cats with fur its easy to collect a sample of hair and quickly send it off to the Basepaws lab for testing. Hairless cats require a mouth swab instead.
In just a few months you’ll receive a personalized report explaining how closely your cat is related to various breeds and wildcats as well as any potential health risks you may want to be aware of. If ordering as a Christmas gift you need to place your order by 12/15 to ensure holiday delivery.
