Whether you're looking for a gift for your mom, best friend, or grandma, finding the perfect gift is no easy feat. If she's hard to shop for, a unique, thoughtful, and personal present that she'll actually use is the way to go.

We've got options for the aspiring baker, the new mom who desperately needs a spa day, and even the sister who's always losing track of her keys. We also tapped two gifting experts—Laura Jennings, founder and CEO of Knack, and Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy's trend expert—for tips on how to choose a thoughtful gift for women.

“Gifts that come with a story or a ‘why’ behind them will always be the most memorable,” Jennings says. “Whenever possible, make your gift reflect what you know about her. What does she like? Is she a coffee or a tea drinker? Does she spend quiet reflective time alone or lots of time with her family and friends? What have you noticed about her that can be reflected in her gift?”

With these insights in mind, we found the very best gifts for all types of women. Keep reading to discover all of our recommendations and shop our favorite ideas below.

These fluffy, open-toed slippers are cozy yet chic, and they come in seven different colors. We love that the insoles are fleece-lined and made of thick memory foam, so it’ll feel like she’s walking on clouds.

Instead of spending what feels like hours drying her hair, she can get a voluminous blowout in a fraction of the time with this popular blow-dryer brush. She’ll see salon-quality results without booking a pricey hair appointment—or even leaving the house.

She might not be willing to buy high-end hand creams for herself, but that’s exactly what makes this set from La Chatelaine the ideal gift. All three scents have a nourishing formula containing hydrating shea butter, vitamin E, and argan oil, making these French hand creams a little luxury that she’s sure to appreciate. 

Your friend who travels often will appreciate this spacious weekender bag that resembles a puffer coat. Complete with tons of pockets (dedicated spots for shoes and a water bottle!), long straps, and a trolley sleeve to secure it to your luggage, this duffel bag is one she won’t want to travel without. 

By now, she probably knows the importance of staying properly hydrated—but the next step is making sure she’s actually drinking enough water. Luckily, this popular 40-ounce tumbler from Stanley has a cupholder-friendly base, an easy-to-hold handle, and a straw that will encourage her to sip more throughout the day. And ICYMI, this tumbler went viral on TikTok and previously racked up a massive waitlist.

This mini massage gun is a super thoughtful gift for anyone who’s into fitness. It’s compact enough to fit in her gym bag, but its three settings are powerful enough to relieve sore muscles and improve recovery time after even the toughest workouts.

The Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is so popular that it’s often sold out in most colors. But now, the versatile fanny pack is back in stock in over a dozen colors—we suggest ordering ASAP before it inevitably sells out again. The 1-liter capacity holds more than you'd think, making it ideal for holding all the essentials while on the go.

The woman in your life deserves her beauty sleep, and the Blissy Dream Set features all the essentials needed for a relaxing rest. Equipped with a silk pillowcase, sleep mask, and two scrunchies, she’ll wake up feeling like a million bucks.   

Practical yet personal, name plate necklaces make for the perfect accessory that they'll actually wear. This one from Oak and Luna is available in six plating options and three chain lengths, with the choice to add up to 12 personal characters. We particularly love the font, which offers a playful alternative to standard cursive or box letter options.

A cozy blanket is the perfect addition to anyone’s living space, and this UnHide Marshmallow throw is one of our favorites. Whether she’s snuggling up on the couch for a movie night or looking for something to bring her bedroom aesthetic together, this functional yet stylish blanket will do just the trick. 

This buzzy, multifunctional skincare tool has the benefits of an LED face mask in one compact package. It uses a combination of low-voltage energy, gentle vibrations, red light therapy, and warmth to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce signs of aging. 

For the tea or pour-over coffee lover, a good kettle is a must. We love this Stagg model’s beautiful green color and maple accents—perfect for adding a pop of color to her kitchen. This kettle features an LCD screen, so she’ll always know the temperature of her water, and a precision spout that offers a neat and satisfying pour every time.

Give the photographer (or teenager) in your life a fun way to capture memories on the go. This easy-to-use Polaroid camera includes a built-in selfie mirror and automatic flash, so no need to worry about adjusting the settings. The photo will print instantly and take a minute and a half to develop, leaving her with a sweet memento to hang on her wall or carry around throughout the day. 

Personalized art, like “a custom illustration or pet portrait that they can hang in their home,” is a go-to gift of Johnson. We love the minimalist look of these custom line art portraits, which are hand-illustrated in the U.K. based on the photo of your choosing. You have the option to get it delivered as a digital file so you can print it yourself, or get it printed on high-quality paper and shipped directly to you (or the recipient). 

If the woman in your life doesn’t have an Always Pan yet, now is the perfect time to get her one. This best-selling pan comes with a steam basket, spatula, and matching lid, and it’s so pretty she can leave it displayed on the stove. Choose from eight colors and three sizes.

If she wears jewelry often and you don’t want to risk getting her a piece that’s similar to something she already has, you can give her this travel case from Mark & Graham. There are compartments for rings, earrings, and necklaces, so all her jewelry is secure whether she’s at home or on the go. It’s made of vegan leather, comes in 20 colors, and can be personalized with up to three characters for an extra fee.

If she’s a jewelry enthusiast, she will love displaying this personalized ring dish on her dresser. Simply select her favorite color (white, gray, or plush pink), choose between a circular or square dish shape, and add her monogram for an extra special statement piece. 

Available in almost 30 colors, this versatile piece serves as both a supportive sports bra and an athletic tank. The stretchy material is breathable and comfy for everyday wear, while the removable padding makes it suitable for high-intensity workouts and casual errands.

Give the music snob in your life full reign of the aux cord wherever and whenever. This speaker is durable, portable, and waterproof, perfect for everything from housewarming parties to beach days. You can even connect up to two devices at once via Bluetooth, allowing you to seamlessly switch between DJs without needing to recalibrate.

Unlike other hair masks that require repeated usage, Virtue’s Restorative Treatment Mask will leave her with luscious, shiny locks in just three minutes. The hydrating formula is color-safe, vegan, paraben-free, and gluten-free, making it suitable for all hair types. 

Mulled wine is the ultimate winter cocktail—and this 10-piece set contains everything your favorite wine lover needs (besides the alcohol) to make eight batches of the popular cozy drink at home. It even comes with easy-to-follow recipes for different types of mulled wine, such as Swedish Glogg, Spiced Cider, and Lush White.

Home is where the heart is, and this stunning map will serve as a constant reminder of her favorite place. Customize it with a meaningful state, city, or address to create a nostalgic piece of wall art that will evoke positive memories of that special location.  

This casserole dish is a gorgeous piece of bakeware that they’ll want to bring to holiday parties for years to come. Available in four bright colors, it features a vintage-inspired design and is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. 

This luxurious perfume subscription will help her nail down her signature scent. She’ll select her preferred fragrances with a survey, and then receive a new, aromatic perfume each month to try out. If a subscription isn’t your style, consider a Scentbird gift card or gift set.  

These huggie hoops are versatile (and comfortable) enough to be her new favorite everyday earrings. The hoops have a beaded design that’s subtle yet stylish, and they come in both 14k white gold and yellow gold options.

Every woman needs a good robe, and this one from Skims takes the cake. Made from a modal, elastane blend, it’s ultra soft for keeping her cozy while getting ready or drying off after a shower. Choose from three classic shades or fun limited-edition colors.

Give her a spa day at home with this foot massager, which functions as a hot tub for her feet. The device offers soothing water jets, massage rollers, and adjustable heating options, plus a free brush and acupressure pedicure attachments to emulate the classic salon experience. 

For the woman who loves to travel, consider upgrading her packing experience with these ultra-chic and stylish packing cubes. She’ll be able to keep all her clothes and accessories organized on the go, making for a more streamlined suitcase. We love the beautiful pink color and how the set includes small, medium, and large cubes, two shoe bags, and one zip pouch.

She won’t want to leave the house without this classic Cuyana tote bag, which is versatile enough for both upscale and casual outings. It comes in eight colors and three sizes (classic, tall, and small) and even offers the option to add a zipper. 

Whether she's working out at the gym, running errands, or simply lounging at home, she'll never want to take off these buttery-soft leggings. Available in 15 colors, 11 sizes, and four lengths, these pants will be a versatile addition to her classic wardrobe.

Sol de Janeiro is best known for its famous Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, which is popular for its delectable scent that has notes of pistachio and salted caramel. This gift set comes with three travel-friendly products that have the same beloved fragrance: a body mist, a shower cream-gel, and the aforementioned cream (which leaves your skin firmer and softer with every use).

With this personalized gift option, you can create a thoughtful, custom puzzle from any photo—whether it’s a picture of her furry friend or a cherished moment you share. Regardless of whether you opt for the 100-piece or the 500-piece option, the result is sure to be extra satisfying. The puzzle pieces even come in a decorative canister that you can customize to craft an extra special keepsake. 

Made with organic Turkish cotton and lightweight linen, this luxe bathrobe is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to feel like they’re at a hotel when they get out of the shower. It’s soft, absorbent, and has pockets—what more can you ask for?

If she's a dog lover, then she’ll love receiving a custom-framed portrait of her furry friend. Each one is hand-illustrated by an artist and can feature anywhere from one to three pets, whether they’re dogs, cats, fish—you name it. It’s sleek and modern enough to keep on display for years to come.

This versatile bag provides a hands-free way to carry everything she needs while on the go, whether she’s running errands or going out to dinner. The bag can be worn four different ways (as a crossbody bag, shoulder bag, belt bag, or wristlet), and it’ll fit her phone, wallet, keys, and more. Choose from two sizes, a variety of colors, and three types of leather—including a plant-based option made from cactus.

If she’s gotten into the pickleball fad, elevate her equipment with this starter bundle from On Holiday. Choose two of five paddle designs, her favorite color balls, and a tour court bag for an extra personalized set. With all the essentials, this starter bundle is ideal for athletic amateurs and experts alike. 

You can’t go wrong with fresh flowers, and this UrbanStems subscription will leave her with a bright, fragrant assortment each month. You can choose between the Classic, Seasonal, and Luxe options, customize frequencies (weekly, biweekly, and monthly), and even select durations (three, six, nine, or 12 deliveries). While each floral arrangement is up to chance, she will look forward to whatever surprise bouquet awaits her. 

This popular kit from Olive & June comes with everything she needs for an at-home manicure. In addition to the basics (like nail files, clippers, and polish), it also includes extras like a cuticle serum and The Poppy—an ergonomic handle that attaches to your nail polish bottle for better control. You can pick a polish color you know she’ll love, or mix and match a set of six shades.

If she loves to read and doesn’t already have a Kindle, then this is one of the best gifts you can buy. Compact and lightweight, the Kindle Paperwhite is perfect for on-the-go reading, whether she’s traveling or commuting. This newer version features a glare-free display, adjustable brightness, and long-lasting battery life so she can read whatever she wants to her heart’s content.

These handblown wine glasses come in a wide range of eye-catching jewel tones that will seriously upgrade her dinner parties and at-home wine nights. We also love the backstory of the brand: The founder was inspired by her grandmother Estelle’s collection of antique-colored glassware, so she decided to start making her own pieces. If you're looking for a gift for your own grandma, imagine giving her these and telling her how she has inspired you.

If you’re stuck on what to get, here’s an easy way to send her a gift she’ll love—even if you don’t know her interests. When you send her a Knack Swift Gift, all you have to do is pick a price point, and she’ll receive an email prompting her to choose her favorite gift set from the collection. (Examples of themes include movie night and whiskey-tasting sets.) The box arrives beautifully packaged with a personalized note, and you don’t even need to enter a shipping address—just the recipient’s email. 

If the woman in your life loves to read, consider gifting her a Book of the Month Subscription. You can choose from three, six, or 12 months, and then they can choose which book they’d like to read (or listen to) for the month.

If she’s passionate about trying new coffee roasts, she’ll love this gift subscription from Atlas Coffee Club. Each month, she’ll receive a bag of single-origin coffee from a new country, along with a postcard and tips on how to brew it to accentuate the flavors of each roast. It can be customized to her preferences (light or dark roast, whole bean or ground) and shipped to her directly or sent via email—ideal for a last-minute gift.

Scalp massagers not only feel good but can also help stimulate hair growth, stretching the hair follicles and resulting in longer, shinier locks. That's why we love this scalp massager from Heeta, which promotes hair growth while providing an invigorating scalp massage in the process. Available in over 20 vibrant colors, this exfoliating device is just as much an accessory as it is a hair tool. It even removes dandruff, too.

If she has a hard time falling asleep when she hits the pillow, this weighted blanket could help. Weighted blankets are designed to reduce the production of stress hormones, keeping her relaxed and better able to sleep through the night. This Bearaby throw offers all the benefits of a typical weighted blanket with a breathable and stylish knit design. For best results, choose a size that’s about 10% of the recipient’s body weight.

Give your artistic friend a chance to strut her stuff and create a homemade piece of decor in return. The kit includes enough clay for her to craft up to six of her own pottery creations, along with a 10-page illustrated guide for inspiration. Simply choose between nine paint and pen color assortments and select either a matte or glossy varnish for a DIY gift she will adore. 

This tech gift is a splurge, but if the recipient is working in an open-plan office (or at home with the rest of the family), these headphones will be a lifesaver. She can crank the noise cancellation to 11 to completely drown out the chaos around her—or put it at zero if she still needs to pay attention to her surroundings. Either way, she’ll be able to listen to her favorite music, podcast, or audiobook without any distractions. And, with up to 20 hours of battery life per charge, these headphones can easily last throughout her workday, workout, and beyond.

Make mascara- and foundation-stained towels a thing of the past with dedicated makeup towels. Made of organic long-staple cotton, Weezie’s makeup towels are soft, fluffy, and dark enough to hide discoloration. They come with a cute eyelid design or can be personalized with her initials for an additional fee. 

Your best friend who’s always wearing athleisure will probably be in love with this sporty dress from Outdoor Voices. The Exercise Dress has built-in biker shorts (with pockets!) and adjustable straps, so she can wear it from her workout to brunch without missing a beat. And since it comes in 20 colors and patterns, there’s bound to be something that matches her style.

Why make her choose between comfy and cute when she can have both? These short-sleeved pajamas are the perfect attire for lazy PJ days when she wants to be cozy while feeling somewhat put together. Plus, you can personalize it with her monogram for an extra fee.

She probably already has some type of olive oil in her pantry, but a high-quality version can make all the difference in how her food turns out. Brightland’s set includes two different bottles of extra-virgin olive oil: one that’s bold, robust, and perfect for roasting and sautéing, and another that’s smooth, grassy, and a game-changer for salads and hummus. It's an ideal gift for a foodie who wants to upgrade her pantry.

Design her dream shea butter soap set with all of her favorite scents. You can select a combination of three out of seven fragrances, ranging from coconut cream to sweet tea, all designed to nourish dry, sensitive skin.

Ice cream enthusiasts will love this sweet subscription, which delivers four different flavored pints to their doorstep every month. Choose a three-, six-, or 12-month membership for a high-quality dessert that will satisfy their sweet tooth any time of year. If you're looking for a food gift, you can't do much better than this.

Whether she has a knack for crafting charcuterie boards or is constantly chopping ingredients in the kitchen, this personalized cutting board makes the perfect gift for the chef in your life.

With smooth checkered wood, this piece will be a standout staple on her kitchen countertop. 

This personalized box is an excellent gift for adventurous tea enthusiasts looking to explore new brands and flavors. The box includes four teas chosen based on her personal tastes, as well as steeping guidelines, tasting notes, and biodegradable filters. 

There’s something extra satisfying about seeing your own creation from start to finish, and this cocktail garden kit will make her part of the whole process.

Once the plants are cocktail-ready, she can invite friends over and tell them she grew the herbs herself.

If her luscious locks seemingly take forever to dry, this towel-headband duo will be a lifesaver. The absorbent hair towel’s microfiber material cuts dry time and helps reduce frizz, while the plush headband keeps her hair out of her face as she begins her daily skincare routine.

Satisfy her sweet tooth with a sampler pack of Milk Bar's best-selling desserts. It comes with a slice of Milk Bar Pie, chocolate and vanilla birthday cake truffles, and six different cookies with unique flavors (think: Blueberry & Cream and Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow)—all packaged in a reusable tin.

Crafted with essential oils and CBD isolate, these 3-in-1 shower steamers will transform her boring shower routine into a relaxing, luxurious one. The versatile cubes can function as shower steamers, bath bombs, or body scrubs, making them the ideal self-care essential. 

These versatile slippers are the perfect shoes to slip on anywhere and everywhere. The UGG signature suede is stylish, while the sheepskin lining will leave her feet feeling warm and cozy. Plus, the rubber soles and closed backs make these slippers suitable for outdoor use as well.

Questions You Might Ask

How much should you spend on a gift? 

Figuring out how much money to spend on a gift is hard when there aren’t any set budgets or rules (like in white elephant gift exchanges). There’s no easy formula for figuring out an exact dollar amount, but there are a few things you can consider to come up with an appropriate number.

“In general, we find that the average gift for women is just under $100,” says Jennings. “However, this number will vary depending on the relationship you have with her, the occasion, and your own personal circumstances. Even for people very close to you, an inexpensive ‘just thinking about you’ gift can be just as memorable as a big, expensive birthday gift because it arrives when she’s not expecting it.”

What should you put in a gift basket for women?

If you’d prefer to give your recipient multiple presents (or you can’t decide on just one item), you might want to create a DIY gift basket. “When opting to curate a gift box as a gift, it’s important to consider their individual taste and interests,” says Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy’s trend expert. “If you happen to know what their hobbies are, look for something that speaks to that—like a personalized mug, artisanal coffee, and a pour-over for the at-home barista or personalized garden tools, handmade ceramic pot, and garden markers for the person who loves to be outdoors in their garden.”

To make the most memorable gift basket or box, Jennings suggests including an odd number of items since it’ll be more pleasing to the eye. She also recommends sticking to a theme (like movie night or spa day, for example) and incorporating something with “immediate gratification” like cookies, chocolate, or another sweet treat. “It gives the recipient something to do with the gift right away,” she says.

What are some gift ideas for women that you don't know very well?

Shopping for someone you don’t know very well can be challenging, which is why you should look for versatile gifts that anyone can enjoy. “Cozy blankets, candles, and notebooks are always appreciated, and you don’t have to worry about food allergies,” says Jennings.

“If you don’t know her very well, another meaningful approach is to give her things that are special to you,” Jennings adds. “Do you have a favorite cause you like to support? A delicious food made in your hometown that you can share with her? Or just a little something that you find useful and you think she might, too?”

And when all else fails, you can always go the gift card route. “When buying a gift card, consider supporting a local restaurant or small business,” says Isom Johnson. “These types of gifts can make a real impact and might not be something your loved one would typically treat themselves to.”
