Shopping for the women in your life is easy enough if you’re sticking to the usual suspects: a cashmere sweater, a luxury fragrance, a pair of designer sunglasses. But what about the friend who thinks Nathan Fielder is the hottest man alive?
Or the one who’d rather spend Friday night watching “Gone With the Wind” than going out? This year’s gift guide goes beyond the predictable, with picks for every type of woman on your list — including the cinephile who’d appreciate A24’s encyclopedia of movie cats, the industry insider eyeing a tee from George Lucas’ new museum and the theater kid who still knows every word to “Hamilton” (and would happily spin all seven records of its new anniversary vinyl box set). There’s even a Nathan Fielder thong, because some gifts are simply too specific to pass up… Shop a few of the best gifts for women in 2026 below: A24’s 420-page hardcover celebrates cinema’s most memorable felines, featuring more than 1,000 cats and 1,900 film stills, from Holly Golightly’s orange tabby in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” to Jonesy in “Alien.” These luxe cashmere pants from Nüülee are an elevated alternative to traditional sweatpants, offering the comfort of loungewear with a more polished look.
Pair them with the brand’s matching cashmere sweater for a complete set. Nathan Fielder is officially the internet’s latest unlikely sex symbol, thanks to his scene-stealing appearance in the Elizabeth Holmes documentary “You Can See Everything.” For anyone newly converted to the comedian’s sex appeal, this thong bearing his face is the ultimate gag gift. A stylish gift for the film buff, this 100% cotton tee features vintage-inspired varsity lettering from George Lucas’ just-opened Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.

More than a decade after “Not That Kind of Girl” and ahead of the forthcoming “Girls” reboot (!!), the “voice of a generation” returned with a candid memoir about fame, chronic illness, addiction and her often-complicated relationships, including her years with musician Jack Antonoff.
