Finding the perfect gifts for women can be tricky, especially when it feels like they already have everything.
Sure, a floral bouquet works in a pinch. I love flower delivery myself. But for those truly special moments, I want to give something thoughtful, maybe even a luxury gift for a milestone occasion.
Whether I’m shopping for my mom or a female friend, I’ve explored the full spectrum of ideas. From top picks at NAADAM to Cozy Earth, I’ve hunted down the best gifts for women — practically ever.
I might be a little biased, but I’m excited about options from lululemon, Our Place, and even stunning jewelry from Kendra Scott and Monica Vinader.
My list is filled with practical, everyday items that they’ll come to love, in addition to some of the most sought-after items I’ve seen. Any of these picks will be adored, cherished, and appreciated whichever way you go.
For even more options, be sure to check out our edit of the best gifts for your wife, mom, girlfriend, or sister to find the perfect thing. Few things are more awkward than giving a romantic gift to your mother-in-law, so get it right the first time with something that truly fits the category.
Best Personalized Gift: Oak and Luna Inez Initial Necklace
Looking for gift ideas for women? This dainty and elegant piece of jewelry is a thoughtful gift that adds a touch of individuality to her look. Choose her initials for a personalized touch, making it a meaningful and stylish accessory for the woman who values unique and sentimental gifts.
Best for a Timeless Birthday Gift: Gorjana Birthstone Coin Necklace
Regardless of whether you’re shopping for someone’s birthday or looking for a fantastic and unique gift, this Birthstone Coin Necklace is worth consideration. It’s delicate enough to be layered with other pieces and plated in 18-karat gold for lots of shine. Select your person’s birthstone to go in the center. Or, if you’re feeling lovey-dovey, choose your own, so they can take a piece of you wherever they go.
Best Gift for Hot Sleepers: Cozy Earth Long Sleeve Bamboo Pajama Set
This is for when she wants to look fabulous around the home or walk the dog in a cozy style. After all, they were named one of Oprah’s favorite things in 2019, so if it’s good enough for Oprah, we think it’s good enough for her. The material is weighted and cooled with bamboo material in inclusive sizing.
Best Travel Gift: Dagne Dover Mara Neoprene Phone Sling
Enter a gift we’re already planning to share with everyone we know IRL. The Dagne Dover Mara Neoprene Phone Sling is a phenomenal gift for less than $100, thanks to its cushion-soft feel and practical charm. In short, it’s the lovechild of your favorite belt bag and crossbody.
We equally love its Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag ($125 – $245) — a quality duffle bag — that makes traveling a snap.
Best for the Lounge Queen: Vuori Restore Oversized Hoodie
Whether she’s always on a run or simply lives in hoodies and sweats, elevate her latest apparel with Vuori. The brand’s Restore Oversized Hoodie comes in an array of dreamy neutrals, all mixed in with an unbeatable, breathable, and cozy fabric.

At the courts or on her afternoon walk, mom is going to want to sport the lululemon High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt. It boasts a lightweight, swift fabric with the most flattering pleated design that mom will love, whether she’s holding a tennis racket in her hand or a reusable water bottle. Match point.

Best for New Mothers: Tiny Tags
Tiny Tags is a gift many of our editors rave about. Made of sterling silver or gold vermeil, it’s the perfect gift for any woman. You have your choice of three tiny tags to place on a chain or go with the singular initial. I chose my husband’s initials and a paw charm to represent my dog.
Best for Women Who Love Trends: New Balance 327
Most women walking the streets these days are either sporting cute ‘sneakerinas‘ or the New Balance 327, so I ordered a pair of the latter to get some street cred. They mimic the 70s running sneaker but have a modern twist that most fashion girls will appreciate.

We reviewed the Lovebox Love Note Messenger, and it’s one of the most unique gifts you can give to the woman you love. Each time you send a message through the paired app, the heart will spin. She’ll then lift the wooden top and feel like you’re right next to her. Plus, it’ll be the sweetest addition to her nightstand.
Best Gift for The Type-A Gal: The Skylight Calendar
Not to be dramatic, but The Skylight Calendar quite literally changed my life. It functions like a wall-mounted picture frame to display your photos but you can also sync the calendars from your phone and have them appear on Skylight’s modern screen. Plus, there’s a meal prep calendar to scope out what recipes you’ll be making throughout the week, as well as the ability to create grocery and to-do lists. Yeah, I’d give it six stars if I could.
