Thanksgiving Gift Ideas for Her: Thoughtful Handbag Gifts & Gift Sets
Some people are good at gifts, and the rest of us bring a bottle of wine to Thanksgiving every year because it's easy and nobody has complained yet. The host says thank you, puts it on the counter with the other bottles and almost certainly won't remember who brought which one. If you want Thanksgiving gift ideas for her that she'll actually connect with you, it helps to think past the dinner itself and into the rest of her November and December.
Those weeks are packed with work parties, family dinners, birthday drinks and restaurant reservations, and at every one of them her bag needs somewhere to go. A purse hook from FafaConcepts is small, easy to wrap and used at all of them. What follows is a plain, no-fuss guide to buying gifts for her this Thanksgiving, whether she's your mother, your partner's mother, your sister or the friend who volunteered to host Friendsgiving in a one-bedroom apartment.
Start With Who She Is
If she's hosting the big family dinner, get her the Heart. If she's a friend, a coworker or the host of a smaller Friendsgiving, get her the Embrace. If she's the woman who has hosted every Thanksgiving for as long as anyone can remember, look at the gift sets further down. That covers most of the decision, and the only thing left is picking a finish or a color, which you can do without asking her and spoiling the surprise.
Both items are packaged in a gift box and designed to last a lifetime. Washing with soap and water maintains their shine.
The Heart, If You Want to Get It Right
The Heart Purse Hanger clips onto her bag strap and looks like a polished heart charm. When she needs to put her bag down at a restaurant or a party, she twists it open and it becomes a hook that holds up to 30 pounds. It comes in gold 14k, gold 22k, platinum and black, priced at $110 for black, platinum and gold 14k and $125 for gold 22k.
To choose the finish, pull up a recent photo of her and look at the buckles and zips on the bag she usually carries. Gold hardware means a gold Heart, silver hardware means platinum, and if you genuinely can't tell, black goes with almost everything. That takes about thirty seconds and makes the gift look far more considered than it was. If she already owns a Heart, a second one in a different finish isn't a lazy gift, since most women carry more than one bag.
The Embrace, If You're Buying for a Friend
The Embrace costs $45, which makes it one of the easier gifts for her to bring to Friendsgiving alongside a dish without making the host feel awkward. It weighs exactly 0.9 oz, holds up to 22 pounds and comes in 12 colors, and FafaConcepts designs it for coats and travel bags as well as purses, so it's handy in a house full of guests and nowhere to put anything.
If you don't know her favorite color, pick the one that goes with the coat she wears most, because that's what it will sit next to all winter. Teak suits a camel or brown coat, emerald works well against black, and pearl is a safe choice if her wardrobe is mostly neutral.
Gift Sets, If She Hosts Every Year
The woman who hosts every single year deserves more than whatever was on sale at the grocery store. The Heart Purse Hanger set of three, in gold 22k, platinum and black for $299, gives her a hook for every bag she owns and is one of the more generous gift sets you can bring to a Thanksgiving table.
If that's more than you planned to spend, you can put together smaller gift sets yourself. Two Embraces in different colors come to $90, and a Heart with an Embrace comes to $155 or $170 depending on the finish. A mother who hosts and a sister who helps her cook could each get one, which covers two of the people who made dinner happen.
If You Won't Be There in Person
Plenty of people spend Thanksgiving somewhere other than the house they'd like to thank. If that's you, order a little earlier than you think you need to, because shipping slows down in the week before the holiday. Have it sent straight to her with a short note, and she'll have it in time for the parties that start the following weekend.
What Not to Do
Don't hand it over while she's carving the turkey or trying to get six dishes onto the table at the same time. Give it to her when you arrive, tell her she can open it later and let her get back to the kitchen. Don't skip the card either, because gifts for her land better with a line that says thank you for having us. A few honest words are what turn a nice gift into one of the better Thanksgiving gift ideas she's received.
