Christmas comes but once a year so shower your lucky lady love with gifts that appeal to all her senses — taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing. Products in this gift guide will cater to the first four senses; read on to discover what romantic items may make her (and you) sing. Items range from jewelry to pajamas to healthy food, and if you’re feeling generous, give her all nine gifts. After all, the more the merrier, and that applies to presents, too.
Clutch it. She can brighten up any day or evening outfit with a colorful multi-mini-striped bead clutch from Ink + Alloy. Despite its mini name, this clutch is nine-by-six inches so keys, a mobile phone, makeup and more can fit with ease. $75. inkalloy.com.
Something sultry. She can slip into sultry lingerie from Savage x Fenty, the partially eponymous line from singer, songwriter and actress, Rihanna (Fenty is her surname). Collections ranges from pretty panties and bras to racy, but stylish teddies, bodysuits and corsets in a variety of colors and sizes, including curvy. A gift like this may encourage romance by way of "Love on the Brain" or "Wild Thoughts." Prices vary. savagex.com.
Gold leaf. Add modern elegance to her ensemble with fashionable gold-colored leaf earrings by DVOTD. The golf leaf as well as others in the collection have just the right amount of flair, making each versatile enough for work, casual weekends and Sunday brunch with her favorite friends. Each pair is handcrafted and ships within three days of purchase. $35-$48. etsy.com.
Caped crusader. For the woman who does everything, gift her with a blue heron Sam cape for all her stylish crusades like dinner parties and parent-teacher association meetings. This one from Abbey Glass has a wool exterior and a big, colorful floral pattern lined interior. The soft asymmetrical shape makes it flattering for all bodies. $430. The Shops at Buckhead, 3006 Bolling Way NE, Atlanta. 404-464-7854, abbey-glass.com.
From the back. Her message is clear, "Live your life." This statement along with an infinity-inspired seam is written in red cursive along the back-left leg of sheer tights by Carra Hoisery. The right leg is designed with a red seam. Heads will turn, and everyone can read all about her stance as she saunters away. $17.99. carrahosiery.com.
Get cozy. With a collection of mostly button- and tie-less pajamas, morning dresses and nightgowns, Lake is ideal for the evenings she just wants to slip into something cozy or lounge throughout the day. Styles are simple and soft — like a comfy t-shirt — and are designed in solid colors, stripes and polka dots. For an extra dose of cute, opt for matching sets for the entire family, including kids. Prices vary. lakepajamas.com.
Bejeweled. For more than just trinkets, consider purchasing pieces like avant-garde necklaces; bold bracelets; chunky, statement rings; and more from UNOde50, a Madrid-based company with a store in Lenox Mall. Items like Treasure, a silver-plated tricolor Swarovski crystal ring and Wish Me Luck, a simple gold-plated necklace with "luck" engraved on it, are bestsellers and under $150. Prices vary. Lexox Mall, 3393 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta. 470-705-8150, unode50.com/us.
Meals, delivered. A busy woman can appreciate a healthy meal service delivered to her door. Sun Basket offers pre-measured breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks with up to four meals delivered weekly as easy-to-cook recipes. Each is designed to save time; most require less than 30 minutes to prepare for two or four people. Recipes can be personalized with her favorite flavors or to match dietary requests. The company is committed to healthier food, so the produce is organic and meats are antibiotic- and hormone-free. Pricing starts at $10.99 per serving. sunbasket.com.
Memory making. Hold on to happy, joyous, funny and loving thoughts by jotting them down then storing each in a gathered thoughts jar from Sugar Boo and Co. The jar has directions affixed to the exterior to jumpstart the project; smart and sage advice-like statements include "Pay attention to your life," "Look for the good all around you," and "…celebrate all the ordinary and extraordinary parts of life that made you stop…." The jar is just over a foot tall so there's room for lots of little notes throughout the year. Available online and in store throughout metro Atlanta. $36. sugarbooandco.com.
