With sweater season officially upon us, it’s time to cozy up with some good cooking, a glass of wine, and some stylish beauty and fashion items. Whether you are shopping for that special woman in your life, or just need a little self-indulgent extravagance (because, why not?), we have rounded up our picks for the top 10 must-have fall gifts for women.
There is no better way to “fall” asleep than with a cozy set of ultra-soft bamboo sheets, and it’s even better when they come in a collection of beautiful fall colors. Cozy Earth has introduced two new limited-edition colors just for fall – navy and olive. We recommend the uber soft Bamboo Sheet Set made with 100 percent premium viscose from bamboo fabric. Each luxe set comes with one flat top sheet, one fitted sheet and two pillowcases. The breathable fabric will keep you at the perfect temperature all winter long.
When it comes to fall cooking, let’s admit that we all eat a little heartier now that bathing suit weather is a thing of the past. While you don’t have to go all out with overindulgent fried foods, thankfully, the folks at Calphalon have come up with a solution. If you haven’t met the Performance Cool Touch Air Fry Oven, consider this your formal introduction. What makes this beauty so unique is that it uses quartz heat technology while the oven’s exterior remains cool to the touch. Ideal for families with little ones, the oven is large enough to bake a 12” pizza or roast a full chicken for the upcoming holidays. There are 12 different precision cooking functions so you can easily choose the right method of cooking to ensure your finished product comes out perfectly. Even better, the nonstick interior is super easy to clean.
Speaking of cooking, Calphalon also recently reimagined their nonstick offerings with the new MineralShield and AquaShield nonstick technologies. Whether you are making an omelet for breakfast or perfecting a crepe recipe, the Premier Hard-Anodized Nonstick Frying Pan Set might be the easiest way to go about cooking, flipping and serving the most delicate foods with confidence. MineralShield nonstick technology, which is now available across the Calphalon Premier collection, is five times more durable than before and is also metal-utensil-safe, compatible with most stovetops including gas, electric and glass. Both the 10-inch and 12-inch pans are dishwasher-safe, making cleanup a breeze.
Who says fall shoes need to only be about boots? Right now, we are loving FREEBIRD’s gorgeous Cheyenne shoes. The leather shoes are designed for any woman who loves the Wild West. Simply lace up the front of these beauties while leaving the strappy, crisscross sides to remain exposed. Ideal for this time of year, the shoes are also designed with a back brass zip closure and adjustable buckles. Earlier this spring, the Colorado-based FREEBIRD opened a location on Newbury Street in Boston, and has plans to continue its retail expansion. Their stylish collection here includes everything from boots to sandals for men, women and children.
When it comes to true casualwear, if you can find a company that also shares your style but gives back, it’s a real win-win. That’s just what BOBS from Skechers has done with its fun BOBS B Cute-Troop Cutie shoe. The super casual sneaker features a camo print canvas upper and cushioned Memory Foam comfort insole. What makes this shoe even better, for every BOBS purchase, a donation is made to animals in need. BOBS from Skechers’ charitable collection of shoes, apparel and accessories have improved animals’ lives over the past seven years with Skechers contributing more than $8.5 million to help over 1.6 million shelter pets, including saving 1.1 million rescued pets in the United States and Canada.
Another favorite when it comes to casual shoes is the Allbirds Women's Tree Dasher Relay in Blizzard. If she is looking for comfort and style combined, this laceless running shoe offers a lightly padded heel collar to lock ankles in place. Made of renewable, earth-friendly materials from leftover stock yarns, the light stability shoe that is machine washable will conform to her movements so she can eliminate the breaking-in process.
To take her beauty routine to a new level, we recommend adding Masu Soap from Edobio to her collection. The Japan-based global beauty brand uses rice bran and fermentation, which works to strengthen the skin barrier, leaving your skin hydrated and brightened. It also works to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and tightens pores while exfoliating your skin. Just add water, lather up and the soap will do all the work for you. It’s gentle enough to use on both the face and body.
If her hair needs a little boost, clean-beauty haircare brand Remilia Hair is to the rescue. We recommend trying the Green Coco Hair Mask. This might be the easiest way to get hair silky smooth with the shiniest condition possible. Within minutes you can turn damaged hair into beautiful tresses. The vegan, cruelty-free product uses all-natural ingredients like avocado, coconut oil and green tea extract to repair and smooth hair. Designed for all hair types, just apply the mask from the midsection to the ends of clean hair and leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing. The mask transformed frizzy, damaged hair into gorgeous, hydrated, curly locks.
There is no easier beauty routine than one that works overnight to naturally repair your skin. Just ask Ildi Pekar, celebrity facialist to Miranda Kerr, Irina Shayk and “Emily in Paris” star Lily Collins. Now, you can try out the Sleeping Mask at home. Made with natural and organic ingredients including CBD Cannabis Oil that helps address all skin issues from dryness to brightening, after just one use, her skin will be looking and feeling more hydrated and refreshed.
Whether it’s a special occasion or simply the end of a long work week, there is always reason to celebrate. To do just that, we recommend trying the all-natural wine brand, BONDLE wines. They are the first company to sell only magnum format bottles and recently launched their second collection that includes everything from champagne, red and white to rose and orange wine. The White by Domaine de la Mongestine is a deliciously light wine that pairs up well with seafood and shellfish with its citrus and floral aromas and has an energetic finish.
