Women’s Ivy Gift Guide
The perfect curation of gifts for the Ivy woman.
Barbour x Tuckernuck Miley Quilt
Every woman needs a Barbour, and while I’m partial to the classics, this quilted version needs to be in my closet. SHOP NOW
Navy “Talismanic Paisley” 215 – 1st Edition
A shawl that speaks to you is such an important foundation in any woman’s wardrobe–this shawl is absolutely special and glorious. I am obsessed with everything that Janie Kruse Garnett makes because the references she pulls are so delightful and obscure you feel like a genius when you know the reference–plus everything is gorgeous. You’ll be sure to be the only one with this! SHOP NOW
Sherpa-Lined Gloves in Caramel Suede
Did you know that Florence is famous for their glove-making industry? Celebrate that history and attention to craft with these elegant, warm gloves from Ann Mashburn. SHOP NOW
The Classic: Fine Brushed Shirt
Every woman needs a perfect shirt and With Nothing Underneath makes the absolute best ones on the market. Everything from the fabric (in this case a warm and luxurious cotton/merino wool blend) to the construction (French seams and Trocas shell buttons) is thoughtfully considered in order to make this the absolute best shirt you’ll wear all winter long. SHOP NOW
Women’s Twill Pajama Set in Antique Red Ticking
There’s hardly anything nicer than a new pair of pajamas under the tree. Petite Plume makes my absolute favorite Christmas pajamas. I love an old-fashioned Christmas and these set the mood for a perfect holiday season. SHOP NOW
Heirloom Pearl Drop Earrings
A classic future heirloom to pass down to your descendants. I love wearing this at special events. How lovely would this be under the Christmas tree or in your stocking?

Olive Oil + Fuyu Persimmon Vinegar
My gifting philosophy is to share really good versions of everyday things (much like my clothing philosophy!) The olive oil and persimmon vinegar from Flamingo Estate is regrettably worth the hype. It’s also the perfect gift to give when you don’t know what to give. SHOP NOW
Wreath Trellis Needlepoint Canvas
Whether she’s an avid needlepointer or new to stitching, a holiday-themed canvas is a lovely gift to find under the tree. Greystone Needlepoint is one of my favorite LNS’s, and they will kit the canvas for you–easy gifting! SHOP NOW
The Foundation Duo
Give the gift of perfect hair every day–even if she air-dries her hair! Even if she goes to sleep with it wet!–with my very, very favorite shampoo and conditioner. I use this every day and wake up with perfect hair every morning. Just brush and go! SHOP NOW
Perfecting Body Scrub
Perfect for an at-home spa day, gift this alone or pair with a fluffy robe for a winner of a present. SHOP NOW
Active Botanical Serum
For the classic woman who wants a two-step skincare routine yet perfect glowing skin without makeup–this is the miracle product! SHOP NOW
Ada Fairisle Crewneck Cardigan in Dark Natural Multi
Like With Nothing Underneath, &Daughter approaches the creation of their knitwear first with an attention to details. I have and love their Ada cardigan in a neutral beige, but I am so drawn to their Fair Isle version. It’s just festive and joyful enough for the holidays, without being too overtly Christmassy. SHOP NOW
Scented Oval in Baies
Perfect to hang in your closet to keep everything smelling perfectly lovely. SHOP NOW
Lettuce Leaf Vase
I’ve had this vase on my wishlist for years because it is truly the vase of miracles–plop a bouquet in this vase and watch it effortlessly fall into a beautiful arrangement. A winning gift for everyone, as long as it comes with flowers! SHOP NOW
Harriet Watch
There’s nothing more timeless (ha!) and elegant than a classic tank watch. This one from March Hare ticks every single box.

Tortoise Shell Backgammon
Backgammon is a tradition in our house and this is such a stylish way to get your companions off their phones and into a game after Christmas dinner! SHOP NOW
Oyster With Pearl Ornament
An ornament for the woman who loves the sea–this is one to pass down for future generations. SHOP NOW
Handwritten Boat Tote
A delightfully personalized boat & tote for the sentimental yet practical gift. SHOP NOW
Recycled Table Planner
For the party planner–now she can organize her table to her heart’s content! SHOP NOW
Boxed Journal Set
Inspire her writing (whether fiction, nonfiction, or her future memoirs) with this thoughtful bound set of journals. SHOP NOW
Cadence Capsules and Parcel
I’d heard so much about Cadence and decided to give them a try after my travel-sized shampoo leaked everywhere… these are BRILLIANT. The easiest way to stock your toiletries and go, particularly if you’re a frequent traveler.

Hammonds Ribbon Candy Gift Box
Just the way to cap off an old-fashioned Christmas! SHOP NOW
Good to see you back here, Sarah! My wife loved your suggestions for last Christmas, and I see a couple of additional good ideas for this year too. Happy Holidays!
This was a great addition, Matthew. Thanks to Sarah for being such a splendid guest contributor. All her suggestions are excellent ideas for the ladies in our lives.
I am so pleased that the March Hare was mentioned. There are too many “tech” watches out there. I prefer a timepiece that just … tells time. As well as looking classy yet understated.
Cordings (Eric Clapton is part-owner) of Piccilly, London, is traditionally a men’s country (hunting, shooting) clothing shop. However there is a large ladies section. I hope your readers will consider it. I certainly shall, as I will be in the UK and Europe for December (starting today!) and will be in London for a week over Christmas.
I wish you Matthew, your staff, and especially your readers all the very best. So glad we can keep prep and classic traditional style going.
As always – Living it up authentically. With grace, style, and aplomb.
Beautiful assemblage of gift ideas for sure.
Thank you, M K–happy holidays!

H-U
Thanks Heinz-Ulrich–happy holidays to you and yours as well!
A quilt makes a comfy liner. I’m not “down” with the coat, though.
I’m definitely intrigued with the persimmon vinegar. As good as or better than red-wine vinegar? Buy it to try it! No risk.
Pearls with emerald. Sure. Other stones available?
The vase can’t miss. Various sizes?
Get the tote, and place oil & vinegar and other stocking stuffers in it.
There’s red wine vinegar, and there’s red wine vinegar. I am thinking Santa might bring some more La Guinelle Banyuls. C’est incroyable.
Great post, really helpful.
