Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top must-haves or current wish-list items.

We all have our special skills. Aside from having a killer backhand and making the most delicious scrambled eggs you'll ever taste, I also happen to be really good at finding chic and unique gift ideas. I guess it comes with the territory of my job—regularly searching and unearthing the chicest fashion and lifestyle pieces. Suffice to say gift-giving is where I really shine which can prove particularly useful during the holiday season!

It can be so easy to get overwhelmed at this time of year—keeping everyone on your list's interests in mind when shopping. If you need some ideas and inspiration this holiday season, then take a look below, as I share some of my favorite pieces to gift the women in your life. Whether you're looking for the perfect piece for your friend who loves to host, or want a luxury beauty item for your sister, there are a whole host of delightful gift ideas that your nearest and dearest will love.
