Gifts for Sister
Mercifully, I am an only child.
C, on the other hand, has 2 baby sisters (who he adores), so I know all about the annual struggles of getting gifts for sisters.
Do you go with something too girly?
Do you risk getting clothes and sending a message (intended or otherwise) about the girl’s shape or fashion sense?
Do you end up playing it safe but getting the lamest gift ever?
These are all questions we have to carefully consider when getting gifts for the sisters in our lives!
Whatever kind of sister is in your life, we’ve got you covered with great gift ideas below!

The Best Gifts for Sisters
For the Fashionista Sister: Sparkle Clutch
2020 may not have brought us many occasions to go out, but hey, that’s all the more reason the sisters in your life will love you for getting them an adorable sparkle clutch!
Luckily Zappos has many options, but my favorite is this rainbow one from Jessica McClintock, which features enough colors to match any outfit and enough spunk to appropriately communicate your sister’s newfound excitement at finally being able to go out again!

For the Stressed Out Sister: Wine Club Subscription
Let’s face it – most of us want to enjoy the holidays with some relaxation and booze.
So, crush gift-giving this year with a Winc gift card. Merlot, chardonnay, or rosé?

The Wine Club delivers personalized wines depending on the recipient’s palate and preferences.

For the Sister Who Loves Plants: Indoor Garden
Fresh herbs make all the difference.
If your sister has a green thumb (or hopes to have one!), get them this indoor herb kit. This option is a more charming mason jar system, while this option is a fancier, sleeker and more robust model.
Both are essentially passive hydroponic systems that grow plants in water, so there’s no mess, no soil necessary and best of all, no bugs!
Grow herbs, salad greens, even cherry tomatoes and hot peppers!
