What do women actually want for Christmas? In this episode, Erin and Megan get real about why so many holiday gifts miss the mark—and why the most meaningful ones are rarely the most expensive.

This conversation is for two people: women who struggle to articulate what they want (or feel guilty wanting anything at all), and partners who genuinely want to give a thoughtful gift but aren’t sure where to start.

If you’re a woman who defaults to saying “I don’t need anything,” we unpack ideas that go beyond stuff—gifts that create space, ease, comfort, and a feeling of being truly seen. And if you’re a partner listening, consider this a practical, no-panic guide: there is still plenty of time, and you don’t need a massive budget to give a gift that actually lands.

We also draw a hard line on one non-negotiable: no mom’s stocking should ever be empty on Christmas morning. Period. That is the single worst offense a partner can allow to happen—and it has nothing to do with money. A filled stocking says, you matter, I planned ahead, and I thought about you. Lucky for you Savannahstockingco.com exists. And if you order by 12/16, you can make sure she has a stocking by Christmas Eve.

These are gifts that require a little intention, not a lot of money. Things that say, I pay attention to your life, I see what you carry, and I thought about you when I chose this. From small upgrades to everyday life to gestures that remove mental load or protect her time, Erin and Megan walk through ideas that feel personal, meaningful, and completely doable—if you start now.

Because at the end of the day, the gifts women remember most aren’t about price tags. They’re about thought, effort, and feeling understood.
