When you’re buying a gift for the woman in your life—no matter the occasion—we live by a singular rule: Shop from her wishlist, not her to-do list. Start by thinking about who she is as a person—does she like dabbing on lotions and potions in the name of self-care? Is she a self-proclaimed homebody who wants to be surrounded by beautiful things? Do the finest kitchen gadgets fill her cup?
Then, once you’ve nailed your shopping category, dazzle her with the latest-and-greatest from brands like Augustinus Bader, Our Place, D.S. & Durga, and more. Shop for her dreams of being cocooned in linen and cashmere. Add to her bar cart with glitzy pitchers and glossy glassware. Here are the best gifts for women at every price point.
Beauty

This HigherDOSE red light mask is made out of lightweight, medical-grade silicone and has earned high ratings on Sephora from over 8,000 glowing (literally) reviewers.
Soft Services Theraplush Overnight Repair Treatment
Help her indulge in some much needed self-care with this targeted skin treatment that comes in a beautifully minimalist jar. Wellness never looked so good.
D.S. & Durga Deluxe Box Set
There’s not just one, but six bestselling scents featured in this DS & Durga gift set. They’re all pint-sized and TSA-approved, too, so she can drop them in her carry-on.
J. Hannah X The Met Tudors Nail Polish Collection
The manicure that’ll make her feel like Renaissance royalty.
Allure Beauty Box 1-Year Subscription
Think of the Allure Beauty Subscription Box like a beauty gift set on steroids. For $250 she’ll get over $100 worth of makeup and skincare products delivered to her door every month for a year.
Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer
If she’s yet to cave on the Dyson hair dryer she’s been lusting over, now’s the chance to indulge her fantasies. It comes in punchy colors like bright blue and aqua, and of course, with all the attachments to help her fake a salon blowout.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
It’s hard to believe that these iconic blue bottles are a mere six years old, but in that time, this brand has perfected the luxury skincare space in nearly every category. The rich cream—the brand’s thickest, most heavy-duty moisturizer—is one of those slam-dunk gifts that’s perfect for the coldest months of the year.
Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey
Though this balm went viral on TikTok mere months ago, we’ve been swiping it for years. On lips, it looks like a wash of crushed berries and somehow pulls off the impossibly difficult task of working for all skin tones—no matter if you have cool or dark undertones—making it a no-fail snag.
Kitchen
Alessi Pulcina Stove Top Espresso Maker
Will someone please put this moka pot in the Bauhaus ballet?
Mociun Eye Candy Espresso Set
For the woman who isn’t really herself until she’s downed her first espresso of the day, here’s some cheery glassware that will at least help lift her mood when she’s at her absolute groggiest in the morning.
Our Place Starter Set
Just moved into a new apartment? It’s high time she had some fresh kitchenware to replace the ones with random chips and mysterious stains.
Vermicular Musui-kamado Cast Iron Induction Cooker
Remember when we said that the best gift ideas are the ones from her wish list, not her to-do list? If she genuinely loves being in the kitchen, this luxe Japanese cookware—a dutch oven with its own induction burner—will open up a whole new world of recipes.
Nama Well NAMA J2 Juicer
The juicing days of the 2000s are blessedly behind us, but that doesn’t mean that a glass of greens is off the menu completely. We like this easy-to-stash, easy to clean countertop juicer for the moments when a ginger shot is top of mind or a kale lemonade is the only thing that will do.
Aero pressOriginal Coffee and Espresso-style Maker
This travel-ready Aeropress makes a cup that GQ editors stand behind. It’s perfect for a solo shot in the morning or a bunch of cups on the go.
Balmuda The Toaster
More than a toaster, this Japanese-engineered do-it-all machine uses steam technology to ensure that last night’s leftovers don’t taste soggy and sad. It comes in three handsome colorways that suit just about every countertop running through our brains.
Flamingo Estate The Chef’s Kiss
Comprised of salsa macha, raw and unfiltered honey, and olive oil, this set from the Saltburn-esque Flamingo Estate has all the trappings of the perfect gift for the culinary-minded lady in your life.
Home

The least you can do is make the bed of the woman you love with one of Parachute’s cult-fave, European-made linen duvet covers.
Bearaby Cotton Napper Weighted Blanket
This knitted heavyweight blanket will make for a visually striking and cozy throw blanket when it’s not being used for naps.
D.S. & Durga Big Sur After Rain
The candle has become the standard-bearing gift for when you don’t know what to give someone, but that doesn’t have to be the case with D.S. & Durga’s line of culty scents. This one is dripping in notes of eucalyptus, wet wood, rain, and salt.
Tech
Loop Experience Ear Plugs for Concerts
Flimsy neon concert earplugs? Tired. Noise reduction earplugs that look like they were designed by Zaha Hadid? Wired. No wonder they have over 27,100 reviews on Amazon.

Vuori Boyfriend Jogger
Pro Tip: You don’t actually have to jog in these super-comfy joggers.
On The ROGER Pro Clay Sneake
If sporty to her means courtside tennis seats at the US Open, these Federer x On sneakers (made for serving on clay courts, in a Nadal-like twist) are just the right ace to keep up your sleeve.
Manduka PRO Yoga Mat
Perhaps downward dog on a dusty-old yoga mat is getting her down. Upgrade her practice instead with this squishy, yet never slippery mat from Manduka which we’ve tested and heartily recommend.
Lululemon Women’s Strongfeel Training Shoe
Ever since the Metcons launched, we’ve been looking for other shoes that allow us to run fast and lift heavy and the Strongfeel is one of the best we’ve come across. It’s flat enough to not get in the way too much during your strength sessions, but for those doing Crossfit training, you’ll also find some cardio versatility here.
Style
Madewell Beverley Mary Jane Flat
The right pair of Mary Janes can dress a ‘fit up or down, whether your vibe is cottagecore maximalism or Caroline Bessette-Kennedy minimalism. This pair from Madewell, however, packs a little more punch with its silver-toned grommets and buckle strap.
Sabah Baba Leather Slip On Mule
Crafted out of European leather in Sabah’s El Paso, Texas workshop, these versatile slip-ons are the perfect house slipper, corner store run shoe, and spring-to-summer transition slide. Only the finest full-grain hides are used to construct the classic mules, which means that these babies will only become softer with time.
Nisolo “Cleo” Convertible Crossbody
A sleek crossbody bag she can carry on date night without constantly checking if she left it behind somewhere.
Mejuri Chunky Huggie Hoops

Vuori Icelandic Anorak
Don’t underestimate the power of gifting a truly useful performance coat to the lady in your life. Sure, she might wrap herself in a wool one for work, but for errands and Saturday jaunts, this anorak is supremely warm and impossibly easy to wear.
David Yurman Classic Quartz Watch
Your mom either thinks your childhood went too fast or too slow, but you can convince her it was “just right” with this darling little number.
Gucci Women’s Horsebit Loafer
When she already has “everything,” get her the one thing she thought she’d never own: the iconic horsebits from Gucci.
