Six Practical Gift Ideas for Women

Today I’m sharing six practical gift ideas for women as a kick off to the holiday shopping season. I know practicality may seem a little boring, but as a woman that receives and gives my share of gifts each year, I can attest to the excitement of receiving something I need and will use. 

Six Practical Gift Ideas for Women:

My thanks to all the brands showcased in today’s gift ideas post. I received complimentary products to try and share with you. No other compensation was given, however, I’m using affiliate links when possible, and  I may receive a small commision should you shop with them. Thank you. All opinions are my own.

Gift One: Blend Quick Portable Blender:

Have you ever wished you had time to make a smoothie before heading out the door in the morning? Many times, I’ve grabbed a banana instead of making a smoothie, but now with the Blend Quick Portable Blender, I can grab it, the ingredients and make a smoothie in my car, or at my destination! 

I was pleasantly surprised at how powerful the ten blade setup really is. It made short work of my banana and pineapple chunks in the 40 second working interval it uses. It will stop after that, so you can check the status of your mix. Need more time? Turn it over and start the blender again. Easy-Peasy!

Key Features of the Personal, Portable Mason Jar Style Blender I think you’ll love too:

• Spill Proof Design comes in five cool colors
• Easy to Use, just blend and Sip
• Easy to Carry
• Easy Direct Drinking with BPA-Free Snap-Split Straw
• Easy to charge with Port C Type USB Charging Cable
• Easy to Clean

The personal blender is an affordable, stylish and practical gift idea you’ll enjoy gifting. You can shop options on Amazon. 

Gift Two: Balvive Skincare and Travel Kit:

If the idea of a luxurious at home spa day calls to mind someone you need to shop for, this box of goodies from Balvive, a holistic skincare and wellness brand may be just the thing. It’s a practical gift every woman who wants to look and feel her best in a swimsuit, shorts or dress will love.

I received the Body Oil  & Wooden Lymphatic Drainage Bundle and practically jumped for joy! The oil is lightly scented, absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling soft and subtle. The kit comes with a wooden lymphatic drainage tool  to use with the body oil ,which can provide relief of inflammation, dryness, soreness, and will reduce the look and feel of cellulite.

The dry brush, which helps exfoliation and preps the skin to help reduce the appearance of cellulite while aiding with circulation. I can’t wait to immerse myself fully in this special at home treatment! You can purchase this set on Amazon here. 

I also received their starter Travel Pack. It comes in the cutest case that is compact enough to fit in a carry on or weekender bag and is filled with four good size samplers of:

• Multi-Acid Cleanser
• Peptide Serum- Hyaluronic Acid
• Niacinamide Moisturizer
• Shade-Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30

I tried the tinted moisturizer with spf 30 first and loved that it has no scent and absorbs quickly. While the tint seemed a little light for my skintone at first, it blended in nicely leaving no white cast. Plus, it got along nicely with my makeup. If this sounds like a great gift idea, use thelinks above to shop.

Gift Three: Keracell Pore Refining Moisturizer and Eye MakeUp Remover:

Keracell wants to help us unlock the power of regenerative beauty and I’ll admit, I was a little intimidated by the use of human stem cells, but I agreed to try the products with an open mind and thankfully, they sent me plenty of information along with the products. 

The Pore Refining Moisturizer isn’t scented and feels very soothing on my skin. It’s an oil free product which uses Miniporyl, a standardized Red Clover extract which helps reduce sebum production and help minimize pores. 

The Anti-Aging Eye Makeup remover feels gentle as you remove makeup. It removed my eye makeup efficiently,without any extra product needed. It's a tear-free, oil-free product which I appreciate, because I am a night eye cream user and don’t want oils from my remover to stop the absorption of key ingredients in my eye cream.

You can read more about this giftable for skincare enthusiasts on your list on Amazon. I also received their oil free, tear free eye anti-aging eye makeup remover with peptides, growth factors and algae to help with under eye puffiness and fine lines. Please visit the Keracell website to learn more about this practical gift. 

Gift Four: Karyng Restructuring Night Cream and Illuminate Enzyme Mask:

I was first introduced to the Karyng brand from Dr. Karen Grossman, a board certified dermatologist on Instagram. I loved the aesthetics of her product line, but more importantly, I loved that her brand is made with 90% nature and 10% science. I was elated to receive these two products and I think any skincare loving women on your list will be too. 

I had to try the restructuring night cream since they are one of my favorite skincare products. This lightweight cream absorbs quickly, and while its fragrance free, I found it had a light, natural scent. That’s probably due to the active ingredients such as:

• Sunflower Seed Oil
• Olive Oil
• Watermelon Fruit Extract
• Willow Bark Extract 

I also received the Illuminate Enzyme mask which contains the Pro-Verte Complex and Papain, which is an enzyme isolated from papaya, lightens and smooths skin, accelerating blood circulation, and improving skin function. This mask is perfect to use before a holiday event where you want healthy, glowing skin, and every woman wants that! I’ve linked the mask above for easy shopping, but be sure to check out all their holiday specials at Karyng.com. 

Gift Five: Schermer Caramel Pecan Clusters:

I’ve added this delightfully tasty, individually wrapped confection to this particular gift guide because having one of these on hand has stopped me from hitting the drive thru on my home! How’s that for being a sweet, practical gift? Let me tell you more about them.

Schermer Pecans, is a 5th generation pecan farm in Georgia. Founded in 1946 many of their pecans are harvested from orchards that have been in their family for over 115 years,so to say they know pecans, and harvest only the best is evident in their longevity. 

The Caramel Pecan Clusters are made with fancy Mammoth pecan pieces and hand-pulled caramel. The clusters are roasted with just a hint of salt, coated in caramel and then dipped in milk chocolate.

The two-bite clusters are a perfect in between meal snack that are an easy on the go option. Schermer Pecans offers them in either 2, 3, or 6 bag gifting options. Eachbag holds 10 ounces of pre-wrapped pecan goodness. Shop them all their gifting options at Schermer Pecans. 

Gift Six: Viluma Advanced Collagen Formula:

I was an “when I remember it” type of collagen user, until this summer when I wrenched my knee. I was expecting my body to heal and bounce back with proper rest and care in weeks, but that didn’t happen this time, so my doctor suggested I add collagen to my daily supplement routine. This bag of Viluma unflavored multi-collagen formula arrived right on time! I’ve been adding it to my morning coffee ever since.

Viluma states its an all in one beauty and vitality powder and that their collagen blend is the most advanced on the market. With so many collagen options, you really have to become a label reader! I’ve done that part for you today. Viluma advanced collagen contains:

• Bovine, Marine & Eggshell Collagen
• Vitamin C
• Hyaluronic Acid
• Biotin
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• Vitamin D3 + K2 & Silicon

As you can see, with all of these ingredients, plus no added sugar, this is an advanced collagen that I feel has helped heal my knee and helps me feel good from the inside out. Another benefit of using Viluma, is it doesn’t add any discernible taste to my coffee, so you could add it to smoothies, yogurt bowls, tea and more. If you’d like to shop Viluma this gifting season, please use my referral link where we both can save up to $25 on our purchases.
