The best gifts for women—no matter the occasion—abide by the same wisdom: Shop from her wishlist, not her to-do list. What makes her tick? Is it dabbing on lotions and potions to optimize her skincare routine? Is she a self-proclaimed homebody who wants to be surrounded by beautiful things? Does she have a couple of hobbies in mind for 2025 already that you can tee her up for?
With those guard rails in mind, we’re here to help with some thoughtful ideas for all kinds of women: niche niceties and gift sets no matter what your budget is, the latest and greatest from brands like Bose and Glossier, along with old-faithful staples in cashmere and sheepskin to suit the season. Here, an assortment of some of the best gifts for women at every price point.
The Best No-Fail Gifts for Women, at a Glance
Editor Favorites
Nuface
Nuface Mini
The original ultrasound device helps to lift and tone skin and it’s on many women’s gift lists this year.
Beats
Headphones in Pink
These overear headphones have 50 hours of battery power and spatial audio. The soft pink casing adds a nice touch, but these also come in neutrals like black and white.
Away
Train Case
Like a mini hardshell suitcase for your acccessories (think: camera gear, a Dyson hair dryer plus accessories, toiletries, or beyond), this travel case includes adjustable dividers for squeezing it all in and personalization options for adding a monogram.
Tempur-Pedic
Memory Foam Travel Pillow
Whether used as a lumbar pillow or behind the neck for cars and planes, Tempur-Pedic’s cushy memory foam pillow is extra compact for popping in a weekender or nestling under your arm as you pass through the airport.
Aeropress
Original Coffee and Espresso-style Maker
Coffee here. Coffee there. Coffee anywhere—and we mean anywhere. 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.
Twelve South
AirFly SE for Wireless Headphones
For the frequent flier in your life, this gadget will be a game-changer. It seamlessly connects her wireless Bluetooth headphones directly to the plane’s screen, so she can watch all of the in-flight movies and shows with crisp, noise-canceling audio.
Years of Ours
Recycled High Rise Sport Leggings
If matte black isn’t your speed at the yoga studio, try shiny spandex leggings instead. These ones are double layered at the waist for extra compression, and feel especially seasonal for colder weather in steel grey.
Beauty
HigherDOSE
Red Light Face Mask
As dermatologist Dr. Carmen Castilla told GQ Recommends, exposing your skin to blue or red light can help with healing acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and even result in a tighter complexion. 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.
Sangre de Fruta
Botanical Bar Soap (Set of 3)
With a blend of Brazilian purple clay and botanical oils like rosemary and neroli, this trio of hydrating bar soaps will make every bath time feel extra special.
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.
Dior
Limited-Edition Collection Privée Set
For the fine fragrance maven, only this elegant Dior coffret will do. From the smoky elegance of Gris Dior to the cult-followed allure of Bois D’Argent, each of the 10 mini bottles from the brand’s iconic La Collection Privée introduces a sophisticated world of its own.
Oribe
Gold Lust Hair Mask
Take her self-care game up a notch with Oribe’s ultra-luxe hair mask–a few minutes and her locks will be smoother, shinier, and softer than ever. From the elegant packaging to the intoxicating scent of jasmine, baobab, and white tea, it’s pure indulgence from start to finish.
Diptyque
Exfoliating Hand Wash
The small things in life can be the greatest luxuries, and if you nab this bubbly hand soap for her, a quick moment at the sink will be one of them. The ground olive stones in it gently exfoliate hands, while its blend of woody and floral notes leaves them smelling divine.
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.
Kitchen
Sabre
Vintage Finish Faux Tortoise Cake Server
Cakes and pies just taste better with a delectable Sabre tool in hand.
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.
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.
Kinto
Lightweight Water Bottle With Silicone Strap
With this colorful Kinto water bottle in tow, you’ll be coaxed into staying hydrated, while the twist-off top makes cleaning the bottom cavity a breeze.
SIN
Prong Bowl
The kind of terracotta fruit bowl that lets your weekly produce haul be the main centerpiece of the room.
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.
Ghia
Deluxe Sweet Set
Sober gifting has never tasted so sweet. This foolproof set is a reflection of good taste all around. It comes with Ghia’s cult-favorite, booze-free berry apéritif, two sleek servings of delectable crunchy hazelnut spread, and a set of handmade cocktail glasses in collaboration with beloved homeware designer Sophie Lou Jacobsen.
Home
Taschen
Cyanotypes
When John Waters said, “If you go home with somebody, and they don’t have books, don’t fuck ’em!” he specifically meant Taschen books (at least according to our headcanon). Cyanotypes is the luxury art book publisher’s love letter to the 19th-century botanist Anna Atkins, who was the first ever woman to use photography for scientific purposes.
Parachute
Linen Duvet Cover
Listen, Nara Smith just made gum from scratch. 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.
Haws
The Warley Fall Two Gallon Watering Can
If status gardenwear is a category she’s invested in, there’s no bigger flex than a Haws watering can. In cherry red, it feels like a little luxury for reviving your house plants.
D.S. & Durga
Big Sur After Rain
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.
Oura
Horizon Ring
Health is a journey, and the Oura is a compass. Using biometric data from your sleeping and waking hours, the Oura ring prompts you with suggestions on how to structure your day so that you reap the maximum benefits and consistently feel your best.
Apple
AirPods Pro 2
Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 deliver best-in-class audio quality and active noise cancellation, all wrapped in a minimalist design. And if you’re shopping during the sales bonanza that is Black Friday, Apple’s most advanced earbuds will surely be marked down.
Ninja
CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
[extremely Dua Lipa voice] “One touch is all it takes…making sorbet with me.” If Ninja’s new ice cream maker has anything to do with it, she’ll be customizing her own flavors of frozen treats and milkshakes by simply tapping a preset mode on the device’s display module.
Style
La Ligne
Piped Pajama Set
There’s something truly indulgent about a matching pajama set. With its relaxed fit and piping detail, this crisp cotton set from La Ligne is a modern classic that’s stylish enough for catching some zzz’s or lounging around the house. Because even her most casual moments deserve to look this good.
Fleur du Mal
Washable Silk Boxers
If pajama sets aren’t her thing, opt for a silky boxer from it-girl lingerie brand Fleur du Mal. It’s sleep attire that feels cozy, but still channels boudoir-inspired style.
Seiko
Gold Essentials Stainless Steel Watch
A little gold Seiko never hurt anyone.
Jenni Kayne
Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan
Imagine the most comfortable, cozy blanket in the world. Now, make that wearable and you have the next-best thing to the cashmere cocoon cardigan, which we’d happily wear in every color it comes in.
Travel
Uniqlo
Round Mini Sling Bag
En lieu of a fanny pack, this TikTok-beloved crossbody holds a surprising amount of stuff (a water bottle, a wallet, sunglasses, and beyond) , plus keeps all those goods right where you can see ’em so you’ll never have to hear the words “Attenzione pickpocket!” when you travel.
Glossier
Chrome Beauty Bag
Glossier’s new chromed-out Dopp kit gleams like a shiny Christmas ornament. It’s tall enough to slot in all her must-have beauty essentials, and even includes an outer sleeve for all the stuff she couldn’t cram in there the first time.
Belkin
Power Bank
Chargers are a boring gift, sure, until you’re in a different country and need a charge to call a car last-minute or map your route. Belkin’s integrates a lightning cable and a USB-C cord, so no matter what kind of phone you have, you’ll be covered.
Aesop
Arrival Body Set
For when the Airbnb toiletry selection is severely lacking, she needs to be prepped with minis that will make her stay feel extra luxurious. Aesop’s travel gift set is suited exactly for that purpose, equipped with travel-friendly versions of a shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and balm.
