So we asked ourselves, if we could have anything (private jets and trips to the Riviera excluded), what would be on our own wish lists? We’ve put together some of the coolest gifts for women, from not too spendy to…yeah, we’ll never get that. If you’re looking for a cool gift for a woman on your list with great taste (ha), we hope some of these ideas will help!

We love the scarf, but even more, we love that it creates sustainable economic opportunities for artists in India. ($199 at To The Market)
