Mom, MIL, sister, partner, best friend, work wife—a few of the female-identifying people you may be shopping for this holiday season. Which, as it turns out, is no easy feat. Because when it comes to the best gifts for women, phew, there’s a lot out there to choose from.
After doing some extensive gift sleuthing at our favorite online haunts, we found success when we zeroed in on those special things they wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves, whether that be a state-of-the-art hair styler, French-made apron, or cozy cashmere sweater. We sourced a wide range of gift recs to suit even those who might tell you they don’t want a thing. See the full lineup of our best gifts for women, below. (Note: This list can and should be shopped regardless of relationships or gender identities.)
