9 Fabulous Gifts for Her

Looking for awesome gifts for a special woman in your life? Your girlfriend, sister, friend, wife? We have you covered. We promise she will love any or all of these gifts on her birthday, your anniversary, Mother's Day, or just cause. Enjoy!
Berets: We love the berets from this Etsy shop, Katarina's Hats. Great color selection and different size options (especially helpful for those of us with big noggins). 
Lipstick: Our favorite is Beauty Counter’s Color Intense 9 to 5. SUCH a good color with great coverage and a bit of shine.
Photo Album: We use the Motif app on our MacBook Pro to make these gorgeous personal gifts. 
Cute Clutch: We got this adorable clutch from our favorite online Mexican treasures shop Hechoem. Founder Erica Callahan has the most incredible eye and always finds pieces that are fun and sophisticated at the same time. We hope one of these days she will offer a Mexico City shopping and food tour. Sign us up for that trip! 
Headscratcher: This cheap bit of tickly heaven is an Amazon find. Warning: It feels very very weird at first (your teeth might tingle) but boy, is it good stuff at the end of a long day.
Book: The Paris Library is a lovely, easy read based on the true story of heroic librarians in Paris in WWII. Find it in your local bookstore! And check out the American Library in Paris, where the story takes place. 
Necklace: I love these necklaces from Boneur, a French jewelry company. I gave the "constellation" necklaces to my two childhood friends after we turned 50 and the "sol" necklaces to women in my family after making it through a particularly challenging year. They are dainty, yes, but also pack a visual punch.
Beastly Kaftan, Sarong, and Table Linens: We are biased but we thinking Beastlies make the best gifts because they are beautiful, eco, handmade, gift-wrapped, and support wildlife conservation. Good stuff, right?
Happy Giving!!

We know you're seeing a lot of gift guides these days. Personally, I have read at least 15 this week in my quest to find a few items for my hard-to-shop-for 18-year-old college freshman son. If you are also looking for a present for a teenage boy, this guide will not be very helpful. BUT if you are looking for something to give to those special women in your life that is unique and meaningful, please read on. Happy gifting!

Introducing Our New Peace Silk Square Scarves — The Perfect Gift for Her
Introducing Our New Peace Silk Square Scarves — The Perfect Gift for Her

December 03, 2025

Our New Peace Silk Square Scarves are truly special.

Yes, they are beautiful but they are more than just a pretty piece of fabric. Much more.

Let's start at the beginning with how the raw silk is collected. With regular silk, the silkworm cocoon is boiled with the live worm inside. With the peace silk (also called Ahimsa Silk) that we use, the silkworm is allowed to naturally leave the cocoon as a moth and only then is the silk of the cocoon harvested. The fibres of the discarded cocoon are spun into thread and then woven into cloth.

My excitement about the launch of our new peace silk square scarves is a bit overwhelming. The scarf is where Beastly began as it was the first product we produced and sold back in 2015. Since then, we have added many new pieces from skirts and dresses to aprons and weekender totes. To get back to scarves, such a timeless and essential accessory, feels appropriate and just right as we round 10 years in business.

This product might be new but the beautiful, slow creation process certainly is not...
