A Gift Guide for the Gal Who Deserves Better (ahem… You Know Who You Are)

I love my husband.

I love my kids.

Now, I’m saying this for a reason—just hear me out.

They don’t shop for me. You know exactly why. We’ve all been the victim of that “must-have” gift the sales associate swore was perfect. And yet… it’s still sitting in the back of my closet, in the box it came in.

So, let’s make this easy.

Here’s a gift guide that guarantees smiles, sparkles, and zero returns—handpicked from Three Wild Women right here in Ottawa.

1. Jacqueline Kent Crystal Tumbler

If she loves sparkles, this is it.

It’s bold, it’s fun, and it’s not something she’d buy for herself.

 

Why she’ll love it:

Jacqueline Kent is a Canadian designer known for her crystal-covered creations that make everyday moments feel fabulous.

Gift this if she:

  • Wears rhinestones or anything that shines
  • Loves her diamond jewelry
  • Has a flair for the dramatic (in the best way)

Bonus pick: For the extra-extra types, check out the Mary Frances Champagne on Ice Purse—because she’s never too old for a little glitz.

 

 2. Pomegranate Moon Artistic Scarf

 


Not your average pashmina. These are hand-felted merino wool on chiffon, made by artists in Nepal. Each one is as unique as she is.


Gift this if she:

  • Loves art, texture, or colour
  • Dresses in lots of black but accessorizes bright
  • Has an effortlessly creative wardrobe
  • These scarves are wearable art—and trust us, she’ll find any excuse to show it off.

 

3. Orange Fashion Village Sweater Vest

 

If she loves cozy layers and loose, modern fits—this is a home run.

Orange Fashion Village is a Canadian, family-owned brand that nails that effortless “put together” vibe.


Gift this if she:

  • Wears relaxed or layered styles
  • Appreciates Made in Canada
  • Is known as “the fashionista” in the group


Not sure about sizing? No problem. These are one-size-fits-most, so no awkward guessing required.

Bonus pick: The Echo Verde Dogwalker Sweater—another Canadian fave with cozy, oversized charm.

And if she is the fashionista? Let her pick her own favourites with a Three Wild Women Gift Card—you’ll never miss.

 

4. If she loves a little drama in her wardrobe—this cape is the gift for her! It’s a one-size-fits-most topper with a faux-fur collar, fringe hem, and brings that level of DRAH-MA to any outfit.

Gift this if she:

  • Enjoys layering pieces that stand out without trying too hard
  • Prefers wardrobe items that transition from day to night
  • Loves it when people ask, “where did you get that!?” 



5. Now, you could get her anything from our resort collection, but you know that means it has to come with a ticket to a cruise.

Of course, you can come by the shop and let us help you pick. There’s always more in the store than there is online anyway! But those are my suggestions and I hope they help! 

Bonus: The White Elephant Wins (Under $50)

Need something fun for Secret Santa or a White Elephant gift exchange? These are guaranteed crowd-pleasers:

 

Because “under $50” doesn’t have to mean “boring.”
