16 Best Gifts from Quince This Season (Things I Tried, and Liked!)

Gifting season is here and I know for a fact that gifts from Quince are going to hit home. Whether for him, her, them or kids, Quince has perfect gifts for the holidays that suit all tastes.

In this list, I’m including all the products from Quince I’ve personally tried this year, so you know they’re quality (or, you can see what I think of them specifically). I’m not including so much clothing, because it’s my opinion that gifting clothes and nailing the fit is hard and often doesn’t pan out right.

With that, I present to you my Quince gift idea list, including Quince’s best-sellers (and my photos of them) from Accessories, Travel, Bags, Wallets, Home, Kids and more. (Also, this list is by no means exhaustive; there are SO MANY IDEAS at the Quince gift guide homepage.)

Luggage (Carry-on or Check-in Suitcase)

The best gift of the season is Quince’s highly affordable hard shell suitcases. Take it from me: I tried Away, and then I tried Quince, and these suitcases are virtually the same. How did Quince do it? I don’t know, but I don’t ask questions.

The person on your gift list who loves to travel will appreciate one of these super-moderately-priced pieces of luggage. My new favorite of the bunch is the carry-on with the laptop pocket, so be sure to take a look at that one when making your gift decisions!

Quilted Transit Carry-All Tote (and other bags)

I tried this cool Carry-All Tote and right away knew it would make a fantastic gift. After all, what’s not to like: it’s lightweight, made of recycled nylon and has loads of nice features, from the zipper top to keep everything inside, to the removable strap, cool quilted look and fun detachable pouch!

If you think this is too oversized for the person you’re getting gifts for, I’d check out the loads of nice travel bags from Quince because so many are ridiculously affordable.

Leather Wallets

Two of Quince’s best-sellers are the Pebbled Leather Compact Wallet and the Italian Leather Quilted Continental Wallet. Both will be a great gift for anyone, because they’re under $50 and $60, respectively, and are totally timeless.

I didn’t try it, though: I tried the more petite cutie of the bunch, the Italian Leather Quilted Small Card Case. It’s a small leather card case suited perfectly to being chic and smooth when you pull out cards. I like the “V” design and the soft feel. For a budget of $30 or less, it’s a winning gift, and it’s one of the most affordable finds from Quince.

Cashmere Wrap

Quince’s Cashmere Wrap is the ideal gift for women (or men!) because it’s one-size-fits-all. Yes, ALL! This cashmere wrap can be used as a scarf, shawl, blarf (oversized blanket-scarf), blanket (on a flight!) or any other creative use you have for it.

I chose to get it in Black because I figured it would show less hair, dust and dirt, and I knew I would want to use it all the time as soon as chilly weather set in. If you’re giving a gift to anyone north of the sunny south (or if they need a gift for a cold-weather vacay!), this gift will do the trick.

You can learn more about Quince’s cashmere and how it’s so affordable at my Quince cashmere review.

Cushioned socks

Socks sound boring, right? But hear me out: Quince makes the CUSHIEST (is this a word?) socks I have ever owned, in addition to their very firm everyday socks that have arch support that I appreciate.

We both tried these, and I can strongly recommend both:

• Quince Merino Ankle Socks (12-Pack)
• Everyday Cotton Solid Quarter Socks (12-Pack)

These two styles are unisex, so just remember to get the approximate size right when you do your gifting.

Towel set

I had to face it this year: I desperately needed new towels after having a house guest and realizing I didn’t have a complete towel set to lay out for them. Yikes!

Quince makes it easy to find a brand new towel set, though, and they’re way cheaper than the competition (like Brooklinen).

I tried the Turkish Cotton Bath Towels and gushed all about it at my Quince Cotton Bath Towel review, where you can get the full picture of them. There are so many options to choose as gifts, from a simple set of wash cloths or bath sheets to a luxurious full six-piece set, like I got. Imagine getting this at the holidays!

Maternity Apparel

Know someone expecting? A piece from Quince’s new maternity line might be the perfect gift for a new mom.

I wrote this Quince maternity collection review, and I wasn’t kidding: those cashmere maternity joggers are some of my FAVORITE maternity wear (ever), and the super soft nursing hoodie is spacious, comfy and forgiving in how it fits.

That’s why, despite not recommending much apparel in this article, I think the Quince maternity clothes are an exception, because they do make amazing gifts for anyone who’s pregnant around the holidays.

Sheets (my picks: Cotton percale, or bamboo sateen)

I couldn’t wait to upgrade my sheets to the new sheet sets from Quince. And if you know what the person for whom you are gift-searching is into, wow: they would be thrilled to have a new sheet set from Quince (so affordable, too).

I wrote this Quince bed sheets review mostly about the Bamboo Sheet Set, but then added my experience with the Cotton Percale set, which I tend to prefer for all year round. That’s just me, though!

If you get some hints as to what the people on your holiday gift list are into, then there is a sheet type for everyone.

Table Linens

Table linens: can’t live with them, can’t live without them? I noticed that the linen table runner, placemats and napkins might be a good addition to our new dining room, and I managed to snag them all in the same color: Terracotta.

If you know someone on your hoilday gift list who’d love some new styles and colors for table linens, look no further than Quince’s sets of placemats, tablecloths and cloth napkins.

Cotton “Fisherman” Throw Blanket

I would have LOVED to receive this heavy and high-quality throw blanket as a gift! Instead, I got it for myself so that I could try it out in my new house and tell you all about it as a holiday gift.

Dan and I think the Fisherman throw blanket is awesome: it’s an organic chunky knit and feels like a sweater. It’s heavy, too, and feels almost like a weighted blanket. I think it’s one of the most timeless choices from all the throw blanket options from Quince in the Home Collection.

Eye mask

I sleep with this silk eye mask every night: I am completely serious. And it’s the perfect gift for anyone who loves to sleep, relax, recharge or rest up. Isn’t that all of us?

It’s also one of the few things in the entire Quince website that falls under $20, so it’s a good gift for a Secret Santa, a gift exchange or a “I didn’t forget about you this year!” type of gift.

I even recommended it in my guide to how I got sleep as a new mom with a newborn.

Neoprene Backpack

This cutie backpack is lightweight and great for people of any size, even teens. I got it in this bold blue color, and the things I like about it are its compressibility into a suitcase when I take a trip, as well as the included accessory pouch that matches!

It’s a gift just under $100, and if you know someone who’d get a kick out of a simple and versatile backpack like this one, choose from the current options of 3 bold colors on the website.

Neoprene Belt Bag

This is such an easy gift to give: when I got mine, I had quite a few people ask where I got it and how they could get one. A belt bag like the All-Day Neoprene Belt Bag is lightweight, fits bodies of all types and comes in six hassle-free colors that match so many outfits.

See why I featured it in my list of the best fanny packs for traveling! (And yes, I actually gave one as a gift to my cousin already.)

Quince for babies and toddlers

We use our daughter’s Quince backpack and lunchbox literally every day when she goes to school. Even for a kids’ backpack, it has so many pockets, compartments, zippers and great features!

There are water bottle pockets on both sides, a front zipper pocket, a separate computer or tablet compartment (seriously!) and an organizer panel inside with places to put pens and papers (we put stickers there).

The lunchbox is adorable, too, and completes the matching set. We like the small mesh zipper pocket inside for an eating utensil or two. I highlighted it in my list of how to feed a baby during travel!

Check out more ideas at my Quince baby and toddler product review, where you’ll see full descriptions of what we tried.

Quince menswear

Quince apparel for men may not come to mind immediately when it comes to gift-giving this season, but if you talk to Dan, he’ll say wow: he was impressed with what he tried from Quince.

And he tried Quince’s men’s dress shirts (as well as the really popular athleisure joggers), which he talked about in his Quince Men’s Button-Down Shirt review. Everything in the men’s department from Quince is on-trend styles that also won’t go out of style anytime soon, which is unique.

It’s good to know that Quince has 365-day returns, so if you choose something in the wrong size for a man in your life, he can do an exchange.

Quince bed pillows

Guess what: I gifted Quince’s alternative down pillows to myself and Dan this season and I’m so happy about it. We tried the Extra Firm Pillows, which I discuss in my Premium Down Alternative Pillow review.

I think the thing about giving pillows is a gift is that everyone’s kind of wishing they had new pillows, and never get around to buying them or taking the plunge. Buying bed pillows as a gift could be really useful for someone furnishing a new home, or someone who has just moved into their first place on their own.

Quince stainless steel cookware

If I’m being totally honest, we gifted ourselves each a piece from Quince’s new stainless steel cookware collection. We didn’t have space for the full 10-piece set (although it makes an amazing gift, especially for newlyweds or anyone who just took up cooking!), so we got the 8” Stainless Steel Frying Pan and the 3QT stainless steel saucepan.

I think our favorite part about them is the price, if you compare both of these products to the competition, where they’re priced anywhere $50-70 higher. Quince is doing a good job of keeping the prices affordable, and these pots and pans look really nice, too. As suggested, we’ll be handwashing them rather than putting them in the dishwasher, to keep them as pristine as we can.
