Holiday Gifts She’ll Love in 2025: Stylish + Meaningful Ideas for Brides-to-Be

We all have that one person on our holiday list who deserves a little extra thought – and if you’re reading this, it’s probably the friend who’s getting married. Wedding planning is exciting, but even if she appears to have everything under control, you’ve known her long enough to sense the pressure she’s under. What she needs right now is a present that is thoughtful, and speaks to her style and personality.

Every woman is unique, and the key to finding the perfect gift for your wedding-planning friend is to start by asking what truly brings her joy. Is she obsessed with her dog or passionate about health and fitness? Does she find solace in the kitchen, or does she love to entertain? With these questions in mind, we searched the internet to curate the best holiday gift ideas for brides-to-be this season.

She’s already planning how the cocktail napkins at the reception will pay homage to her beloved fur child. Cute and cozy, this custom embroidered pet sweatshirt, complete with her fuzzy best friend’s portrait and name from Uncommon Goods ($99 – $109), is sure to be a hit.

Putting a modern spin on a classic, these Freshwater Cultured Pearl Sculptural Drop Earrings from Quince ($59) transition effortlessly from day to night. Whether she’s elevating a simple white tee and jeans or accessorizing one of her many pre-wedding looks, your friend will love them for both their beauty and versatility.

Tinned fish is having a major moment in the culinary world. A perfect gift for your foodie friend, the Starter Pack from Fishwife ($70.40) offers a delicious introduction to the salty delicacy, featuring a curated lineup of best-sellers that include sardines with preserved lemon and the new smoked trout with red chimichurri.

This is the friend who sees every occasion as an excuse to host – she’s already planning gatherings for 2026. Decorated with whimsical botanicals and earthy creatures, the Eden Platter from Anthropologie ($68) will make a beautiful addition to her spring tablescape.

Who doesn’t love a statement tee? A standout from Alexa Chung’s latest collaboration with Madewell, the We’re Witches Tee ($78) is a must-have for your fashion-forward friend. Classic yet bold, it looks just as good on its own as it does layered under an oversized blazer.

While she’s thrilled for the big day, it’s clear the inevitable stress of wedding planning is beginning to set in. The Full Body Set from Salt & Stone ($85) is the self-care gift she needs to relax and recharge this winter. This at-home spa package features the quiet-luxury brand’s deodorant, body wash, hydrating lotion, and body mist in Santal & Vetiver, a calming, grounding scent inspired by natural elements.

We all know Brooklinen for its comfy, high-quality sheets, but did you know the brand also makes some of the most luxurious bathrobes on the market? Just ask Oprah, who highlighted the Super-Plush Robe (from $89) on her Favorite Things list. Wrapped in its spa-like, 100% Turkish cotton fabric, staying in your pajamas all day has never felt better.

The Great British Baking Show finale is this friend’s Super Bowl. On weekends, you’ll find her in the kitchen, thumbing through cookbooks and whipping up desserts or savory breads. The Nordic Ware Nonstick Cast Aluminum Heritage Bundt® Pan from Williams Sonoma ($54.95) will be a welcome addition to her bakeware arsenal. Added bonus: she’ll probably invite you over to sample the first cake she bakes in it.

Is there anything she can’t do? After conquering music and fashion, multihyphenate Victoria Beckham has seamlessly expanded into beauty with her clean, cruelty-free namesake brand. Described as the “ultimate eyeshadow palette,” the Eye Wardrobe ($75) will help your friend perfect her glam looks for all the wedding events on her calendar.

The ultimate coffee table book for the art lover on your list, PANTONE® The 20th Century Color ($40) explores iconic works of art, design, fashion, and décor, pairing each with 80 official Pantone color palettes. Curated by color experts Leatrice Eiseman and Keith Recker, this captivating survey offers readers a deeper understanding of how color has shaped the visual landscape of the past century.

Dashing out the door to meet the girls for brunch has never been easier – or more stylish – now that she has the Pebble Grain Crossbody Pouchette from Dooney & Bourke ($89). Available in a range of colors from classic black to rich bordeaux (shown here) to buttery caramel, this on-the-go purse fits all the essentials: cellphone, keys, and lip gloss.

She’s the one texting the group every Saturday morning about hot yoga class, even after questionable decisions at the bar the night before. As wedding planning stress ramps up, she leans even harder into her workout routine and needs new gear to stay active and balanced. Perfect for every fitness level, the Bala Power Ring from Amazon ($71.20) is a versatile home-gym essential, ideal for strength training, HIIT, aerobics, Pilates, and more.

We hope this holiday gift guide helps you find the perfect present for every type of bride-to-be on your list. Each item has been chosen with care to add a little something special to her life, whether that’s accessorizing with shimmery gold and pearl earrings, indulging in an at-home spa day, or perfecting a bundt cake recipe with new bakeware. And she doesn’t have to be getting married, of course – any of these gifts would be wonderful for a mom, sister, mentor, or, let’s be honest, for yourself too!
