Shopping for the woman in your life can be a challenge, particularly if she seemingly already has everything she needs. But fret not—this time we’ve done the searching for you. Whether you’re looking for the perfect present for your stylish best friend, your beauty-aficionado sister or your all-deserving mother, our expert shopping editors have curated the ultimate list of gifts for women of all interests.
Don’t buckle under the pressure of finding the perfect present. First, start by thinking about what she loves and her personal style. If she’s a homebody, get her something warm and cozy for curling up and watching Netflix, like a supersoft blanket or a pair of cozy pajamas. If she’s more of a globe-trotter, she’d be the perfect recipient of a chic toiletry bag set or a luxurious piece of luggage. Personalized gifts like a colorful journal with her name on it will make her feel extra special, while elevated practical finds like a pretty jewelry tray will make her everyday life a little better. And when in doubt, remember: No woman would be upset to unwrap a gourmet box of chocolates. Below, shop 35 of the best gifts for women, no matter the occasion.
Best Gifts For Women Overall
A Comfy And Chic Pajama Set
I’d take any gift from Cozy Earth, but this stretch-knit pajama set is so incredibly soft and comfy, it’s at the top of my list this season. Made from bamboo-based viscose, the pajamas come in 12 different colors and patterns, in addition to tall and petite options.
Personalized Makeup Cases For The Jet-Setter
With two sizes to accommodate makeup, skincare and more, Cuyana’s leather Travel Case Set ensures that all her necessities are safe and organized when she’s on the go. These delicately curved pebbled leather pouches come in a multitude of gorgeous colors to match her style. Added bonus: They fit perfectly inside a variety of Cuyana’s larger totes for those who are already fans of the brand.
The Softest Blanket You’ll Find
There’s a reason why this incredibly popular Barefoot Dreams blanket is still a top coveted gift years after its debut: The CozyChic is made from a supersoft, cozy material that will keep her warm all winter long. I keep one next to my desk at all times so I can wrap up whenever a chill hits the air.
A Lovely Parisian Treat
The toughest job she’ll have when unwrapping this box of Parisienne macarons is not eating all 20 of them at once. Famed pâtisserie Ladurée created this chef’s selection of flavors that makes such a beautiful and thoughtful gift, all wrapped in the brand’s signature mint green box.

A Beloved Multi-Styler For The Perfect Waves
The Dyson Airwrap has earned quite a reputation in the beauty scene as a must-have hair tool. This famed multi-styler does it all, from smoothing strands to adding volume to creating salon-worthy curls. This year, the Airwrap got a serious upgrade: Enter the Co-Anda2x, which produces twice the air pressure of the Airwrap’s previous iteration to dry hair as fast as a full-performance hair dryer. It also features new intelligent attachments that allow hair to dry, curl, wave, straighten, smooth and volumize with air. This model also automatically adjusts heat and airflow to wrap, style, set and release the perfect curl every time, plus an app that allows you to create a unique hair profile to personalize your settings. I’ve found this version of the device dries my hair incredibly fast, with even smoother, longer lasting curls than before.
A Red Light Mat For Full-Body Rejuvenation
Red light therapy is all the rage these days, and HigherDose is taking note with the launch of their latest at-home wellness product. The beauty of this full body red light mat is its power and its versatility; boost energy, elevate mood and supercharge recovery in one fell swoop by laying it under it on your couch or bed while you watch Netflix, wrapping up in it like a blanket, or even hanging it on your wall to immerse yourself in a circadian-friendly environment that will relax and restore you from head to toe.
An Editor-Approved Carry-On For The Frequent Traveler
Our pick for the best carry-on luggage overall, The Away Bigger Carry-On is the perfect gift for the woman on your list who is always planning her next getaway. I travel a ton, and I can attest that The Bigger Carry-On is the most-used suitcase in my carry-on collection. The compression system is strong enough to squeeze multiple overstuffed packing cubes into the bag (essential, in my book); it also has sturdy wheels, an integrated TSA lock and great accessories, like a laundry bag and luggage tag. While the style is also available with a standard hardshell, this luxe aluminum finish is a striking holiday gift in either rose gold, silver or black.
Delicate Earrings That Pair With Everything
Style these 14K gold lab-grown diamond huggies with your favorite studs for a statement look, or sport them solo for a pretty addition to your everyday wardrobe. Either way, they’re the perfect amount of sparkle for any occasion.

This is one of my favorite gift sets to give; she’ll get a mini body wash, body cream and fragrance spray for just $34. It’s a lovely present that’s pretty and practical.
One Step Away From The Most Luxurious Night's Rest

A Dainty Teardrop Necklace That Makes A Great Layering Piece
I love the dainty yet stunning look of this delicate teardrop necklace from Dana Rebecca. I’ve been a huge fan of the brand’s huggie hoop earrings for a while now, but the necklaces are equally as beautiful and make just as much of a statement on their own as they do layered with other minimalist pieces.
A Gold Statement Bracelet
Gift an instant dose of effortless style with this gold bracelet from Gorjana. I love the versatility of this piece; she can elevate any outfit when she slips this on her wrist, whether it be a t-shirt and jeans or dressier cocktail attire.
