The 40+ best gift ideas for the woman in your life

Our advice is to curate a gift according to her interests and personality. A gift for the lady in your life should be just that: A gift for her. Specifically.

If you don’t know enough about the lady you’re buying for to purchase an ultra-curated gift, go for something useful from a popular brand. Think: a nice set of towels from Brooklinen, or a tasty-smelling candle from Homesick. Skip the kitschy gift this year and opt for something high-quality that she’ll actually use.

We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to get you started on your important mission: Finding the gift of all gifts for the lady in your life, filled with classics that will be useful for years to come, and viral products that will keep her on-trend. From tech products to beauty must-haves, there’s a gift for every lady on this list.

Does she love a good Mario Kart session? Is she planning on getting into Animal Crossing? Consider getting her a Nintendo Switch Lite, the strictly handheld version of the Switch console that comes in five cool colors.

A perennial fan favorite, the Gravity Blanket is composed of cotton and fine-grade glass beads that are held in place by gridded stitching for even pressure distribution. The cloudlike micro-fleece cover is perfect for chilly nights and safe to toss in the laundry.

As a society, we’ve accepted that necklaces tie themselves in knots when we’re not looking. It’s even worse when traveling — unless they’re organized with Mejuri’s travel case. IG’s favorite jewelry brand racked up a mammoth waitlist when it released this genius organizer. Inside are hooks for necklaces, holes for earrings, and a pocket for rings. The leather exterior can be monogrammed for free.

An Instant Pot

Best for the impatient foodie



If you happen to know someone who doesn’t have an Instant Pot or air fryer yet, the Instant Pot Duo Crisp combines both trendy gadgets into one eight-quart cooker. The special lid crisps and broils, while the pot itself pressure cooks, slow cooks, dehydrates, sautés, steams, warms, makes yogurts, and cooks rice.


A DNA test kit

Best for the lady who loves learning



Gift her the possibility of discovering a long-lost cousin with a 23andMe kit. All she has to do is mail in a saliva sample, and after three to four weeks, she’ll get her ancestry results with a detailed breakdown of all the genetic characteristics that make her so special.

Keep her makeup and skincare collections stocked with a Birchbox membership. She’ll get a package filled with five makeup, skin, or hair care products every month, allowing her to discover new favorites she wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Subscriptions start at just $13 per month.

She’ll be able to ditch grocery store plastic while making her urban farm dreams come true with the Click & Grow indoor smart garden.

Give the gift of an organized nightstand with this minimalist wireless charger catchall from Courant. It’ll keep her smartphone juiced up (sans the tangled cord) and her keys, jewelry, and to-go makeup in one place.

Gifting a sex toy is hella intimate. But don’t buy just any vibrator — one of Lelo’s famous futuristic masturbation tools is the move. The Sila is a new sonic clitoral massager that satisfies both with and without direct contact. It’s designed for solo pleasure, but couples can also use it.

Sony’s flagship headphones, the WH-1000XM4, have some of the most pristine noise cancellation on the market. Their dynamic-yet-warm signature sound is ideal for those who like to get lost in their favorite albums, but they’re great for concentrating in busy environments, too.

Regular manicures are a luxurious-but-expensive habit. Help her do the fancy stuff at home with this motion-activated UV Lamp for gel nails. With a few steps, she can give herself manicures that several reviewers say last three weeks before chipping. We recommend adding a few polishes to your gift for a truly comprehensive at-home salon experience.

If she considers old-school records the only way to properly indulge in her tunes, VNYL has her covered for the foreseeable future. Just make her a profile, enter her sonic tastes, and leave it up to the VNYL team to send her a curated selection of records each month. She’ll receive some of her favorite deep cuts as well as new discoveries.

If she considers her dog her child, the Petcube Bites 2 Lite is a thoughtful surprise to celebrate her natural puppy-parent instincts. This gadget keeps an eye on her dog, sends sound and movement alerts to keep her in the loop, and includes the option to dispense yummy treats for when she just can’t help but show some love.

This mixology kit gives her all the tools to bring complex TikTok cocktail recipes to life. The durable and rust-proof set comes with a shaker, a jigger, a muddler, a mixing spoon, a strainer, two liquor pourers, ice tongs, a corkscrew, and a gorgeous bamboo stand to display it all.

Is she in love with all things classic? If so, a retro cassette player is just the thing to transport her back to simpler times. This trendy tape player comes with headphones, a belt clip, and AM/FM radio capability. All she’ll need are the tapes, which you can also find at Urban.

Homesick candle

Best for the gal who’s far from home



If she isn’t able to return to her hometown often, you can still emulate the magic of her favorite place with a Homesick candle. It’s the perfect interim gift while you save up for plane tickets to the actual place — and there are tons of different scents.

If she’s the sentimental type, an instant camera is a wonderful pick.

A wake-up light might not be the most exciting gift at first glance, but it could make a huge difference in her morning routine. The Philips SmartSleep’s ability to simulate a sunrise can potentially make getting up in the morning a much more pleasant experience, especially compared to an obnoxious alarm clock.

Breakfast lovers know the importance of a good crepe — and this high-end crepe pan from Le Creuset will allow her to take her brunch game to the next level. Extra points if you surprise her with all the fixing needed for the two of you to make a delicious breakfast at home.

Let the good times roll…er skate. These classic indoor/outdoor quad skates are Amazon bestsellers that reviewers say are great for beginners who want to give the hobby a shot before committing to a snazzier, more expensive pair. (If nothing else, she’ll be able to make some sick TikToks.) Don’t forget to grab a matching helmet.

Dog lovers will get a kick out of these hilarious custom portraits available on Etsy. All you have to do is send a photo of their pet and select an outfit to put their head on top of. You can get a digital copy that you can print yourself, or you can opt for a high-gloss metal panel.

Whether she wants to catch a sunrise in the chilly weather or hang out by the campfire all night long, this Rumpl blanket is the ideal accessory.

A Lola massage gun

Best for those who take relaxation seriously



This massage device is for women who are as serious about relaxing as they are about training. Unlike some massage tools that are bulky and heavy, the Lola is lightweight and pocket-sized—but still just as powerful and effective as the market-leading technology. The fast-charging battery provides up to 7 hours use on a single charge, with automatic power-off after 15 minutes of inactivity.
