Shopping at Anthro is a delight, but the sheer volume of beautiful things can get overwhelming—especially when you’re tracking down the best Anthropologie gifts for your entire list. Trust me, I know: I was a sales associate at one of the brand’s stores for a few years, where I helped countless frazzled shoppers find the best gifts for everyone in their lives. Eventually I got it down to a science, and you can do the same.
If you don’t know your giftee very well or want to standardize your bridesmaid gifts, for example, there’s a three-part Anthro gift recipe that never fails: a nice candle, some cute matches, and a little something extra (like a card, a necklace, or a face mask). But if you’re going for something grander, the options are nearly endless—all you need to do is pick out something that speaks to the recipient’s interests.
Listing out all of the presents for women or gifts for people who have everything at Anthropologie is nearly impossible—we’d be here all day (and buy way too many trinkets for ourselves in the process). Instead I’m here to share the absolute best Anthropologie gifts, both from my time as an employee and my tenure as a shopping writer, just in time for their big Labor Day event (a handful of my favorite things are 50% off). Now, throw on a cozy fall sweater, and play some French pop music—let’s go to Anthro, shall we?
