It’s gifting season, friend! If you’re shopping for a lady in your life you love, or if you’re looking for inspiration for your own wish list, I’ve got you covered today. I’m sharing my real-life suggestions on items in my life that I wear, use and recommend to others (or things I want to wear, use and recommend).

Here’s my gift guide for ladies for 2025 …
The Skinny Confidential Mint Roller
I’ve been telling you to get The Skinny Confidential Hot Mess Ice Roller for years now (and I still use mine daily), and now, I’m suggesting a newer tool. This is the more compact dual-purpose roller from the TSC brand, and this one is supposed to travel well and give you two massage-head options to de-puff and soothe your face. And because it’s so cute, it’s perfectly gift-able. Find The Skinny Confidential Mint Roller here.
Higher Dose Red Light Therapy Mask
This is an investment, but I’ve been loving mine. I bought one in the middle of the year, and I use it most nights for 10 minutes. In addition to how the red light supports better skin quality and reduction of fine lines, it also feels good and helps me to relax. My skin has a nice little glow after every use. This is such a great gift. And there are often sales (try BFCM2025 at check out during Black Friday this year). Find the Higher Dose Red Light Therapy Mask here.
POPFLEX Cloud Hoodie
I keep talking about the POPFLEX brand, because the gear fits and performs so well. And this is a female-owned brand, and I love that. I have the POPFLEX Cloud Hoodie in two colors, and I almost always get compliments on this puffy and cute zip-up. It’s an oversized fit, and there are a ton of great colors. I’d actually recommend pretty much anything on the POPFLEX site as a cute gift. I also love (and wear) this fun skirt, which is also super gift-able. Find the POPFLEX Cloud Hoodie here.
Tieks Ballet Flats
I had seen these well-made ballet flats on people for years, and I finally got my own a few months ago. (Thanks to Tieks for sending them to me as a gift, I got the camel color!) I read nearly all of the reviews on the ones that I wanted, and most customers were praising the durability and versatility of this casual shoe that can also look fancy. Tieks recommends sizing up, but I went with my normal size (which were pretty tight), then I used golf balls in the toes of the shoes to stretch them out over a few weeks (such a cool tip I learned from the reviews). They are still tight, but I know they will get more comfortable with time. These are an investment shoe, but the brand has a cult following, and I’m so glad to finally have a pair of my own. Would highly recommend these as a gift, but know that they have a break-in period. Find the Tieks ballet flats here.
Stanley Holiday 40-ounce Tumbler
I’ve tried a million water cups over the last few years, and still, nothing compares to my Stanley cup. My current water cup from another brand has bunch of nicks and scratches from being banged up and used all day, and I’m in need of a new one. I love the look of the special-edition holiday ones that Stanley comes out with, both with a straw and a flip straw. The shiny prosecco and shiny red are just gorgeous. And yes, 40 ounces is preferable. Find the Stanley Holiday 40-ounce Tumbler here.
Alo Hooded Bomber Jacket
You probably know that I don’t recommend a ton of super-expensive things, especially clothing. But when it comes to outerwear that you plan to put on most days when it’s cold, I do like to invest. I got this Alo Hooded Bomber Jacket last year, and it’s amazing. It keeps me warm, it looks cool, and it’s so well made. It has an oversized fit, which is great, because I often put it over a sweatshirt. Alo makes great jackets, and I also have a sherpa style one that’s several years old and still looks perfect. Find the Alo Hooded Bomber Jacket here.
adidas Animal Print OG Sneakers
I got these sneakers a few weeks ago and have quickly incorporated them into many outfits, and people are consistently telling me how cool these shoes are. These particular animal print sneakers have a fur-like material, and they are so comfy. What a great gift these would make. Find the adidas Animal Print OG Sneakers here.
MZ Wallace Pearl Metallic Crosby Sling
I suggested this particular sling bag on multiple gift guides before finally getting it for myself, and now that I have it, I love it even more. I use this bag most weekends (it’s perfect for slinging over my shoulder for soccer days, when I need my hands free to carry folding chairs and food), and the pearl metallic version has a little shimmer and gold hardware. You know I love the MZ Wallace brand for casual bags, because they function well and look fashionable. This shiny black tote is also a solid choice. Find the MZ Wallace Pearl Metallic Crosby Sling here.
Les Mills Equipment Smartbar
If I sound like a broken record on how often I suggest some brands, that’s because I really do mean it. I have two Les Mills Smartbars and all the accompaning accessories, and if I work out at home, that’s all I will use. Dave probably uses them more than me, because I’m often at the gym. If you’ve ever thought of surprising a fit lady in your life with more weights to up her home workouts, this is they best choice, hands down. I suggest the Smartbar with weights and the extra heavier plates too. The plates double as free weights, by the way. Right now, Les Mills equipment is on sale for Black Friday (through November 30). Find the Les Mills Equipment Smartbar here and use my code ASHLEY20 for 20 percent off!
Counter Beauty Countertime Travel Edit
I treated myself to this travel-size (TSA-approved) set of Countertime skincare a couple of weeks ago, and I’m pumped about it. Oftentimes, I feel like you don’t have all your usual skincare with you on a trip, and with this set, you totally will. When I use Countertime nightly, my skin is tighter, fresher and smoother in the morning, and I love that. Also, right now, all Counter products are 25 percent off for Black Friday (sale ends November 30). Find the Counter Beauty Countertime Travel Edit here.
DIFF Eyewear Becky II Cat Eye Sunglasses
I was influenced by an Instagram ad to buy this brand of sunglasses, and I bought two in the beginning of the year. Whenever I wear these polarized cat-eye sunglasses, people always remark on them (in a good way). I do not like to spend a ton on sunglasses, because I have a history of scratching or losing them, and these ones from DIFF are super affordable, but look lux. Big fan of the deals they always run too (50 percent off for Black Friday). Find the DIFF Eyewear Becky II Cat Eye Sunglasses here.
SoftGym Vibration Plate
I was at an event last night and was just talking about my home vibration plate. I use it every single day for 10 minutes (sometimes paired with the red-light therapy mask from above), and it helps me recover from tough workouts, jumpstarts my lymphatic drainage and just feels good. While this may not be a glamorous gift, it’s a thoughtful one — something the whole family can use. It’s small, can be tucked into a corner, and is less than $100 too. Find the SoftGym Vibration Plate here.
And for some stocking stuffers …
And those are my gift ideas! Thanks for stopping by to see my gift guide for ladies for 2025. From me to you, I hope you have an amazing holiday season!
