This guide is filled with the best of the best: high-quality items I’ve personally tested and approved.

Women’s Ivy Gift Guide
The perfect curation of gifts for the Ivy woman.
Women’s Twill Pajama Set in Antique Red Ticking
Is it really the holidays without holiday pajamas? This pair will keep you warm all winter long.
Every Ivy/preppy wardrobe demands a camel overcoat, and this one is absolutely the best out there. Made 100% in America from 100% American wool, you can’t beat the quality or the style. Liz Williams, the designer, is a trained seamstress based in Chicago and she takes clothing back to the art form it always should be. Take $100 off your purchase with FEWERBETTER100.
Sarah Flint X Gracie Lapis Garden Scarf 140 – 15% off with SF-FEWER&BETTER-15
A cashmere/silk shawl is perfect for the woman on your list who has absolutely everything. This scarf features a unique pattern designed by Gracie for Sarah Flint–it’s an heirloom in the making!
My approach to gift giving is always to give a luxurious version of an everyday item. Upgrading their hairbrush to a Mason Pearson brush will make you their favorite person!
Creme de Corps Refillable Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter
A super-luxurious stocking stuffer: Kiehl’s, more than any other brand, is “true prep” to me–did you know they sponsored an excursion to Everest? Their body lotion is a staple in our household and we love to give and receive their products.
The ultimate winter shoe, in my opinion–mine are worn in rain, in snow, in sleet, and everything in-between. Pair with the Fair Isle socks above for a perfect gift (and don’t forget to size down in these).
Cozy cashmere is the gift that gives all winter long–this one is a great muted green. Festive for the holiday season, but it can easily be worn into spring.
Love it or hate it, Ralph Lauren has defined trad style for generations now. Alan Flusser’s definitive book on the man and the aesthetic will look great on a coffee table or bookshelf and is, even better, an enjoyable read.
Ultimate Gift Wrap Bundle – 25% off with FEWERBETTER25
Don’t forget to wrap! Rifle Paper Co.’s gorgeous wrapping paper evokes Christmases of years past in such a special way. They’re generously offering 25% off your purchase if you use this link and the code FEWERBETTER25 at checkout.
Now the hard part… finding an Ivy style woman to give the gifts to.
Thank you for this, Sarah! I’ve found/ordered three things that my wife will love.
Compliments of the Season,
