The holidays are fast approaching, which means it’s time to start thinking about the best gifts for women in your life—and what they might actually want. Every year, my parents ask for my Christmas wish list, and despite curating gift ideas for a living, I’m still quite difficult to buy for. I live in a small apartment, and the last thing I want is more dust-gathering stuff.
The gifts I truly appreciate need to feel worth making room for, whether that’s a special piece of jewelry or a useful upgrade that makes my everyday life a little easier. So this gift guide draws on presents I’ve received and adored, what I know my friends are secretly hoping to unwrap, and other creative, thoughtful finds my fellow Glamour editors and I are giving this year to the leading ladies in our lives. Below, find gift ideas for your partner, mom, teen sister, or BFF, including self-care indulgences, beauty Advent calendars, and delicious snacks.
Our top gifts for women Top Trending Gift: Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-styler and Dryer, $650 Best Under $25: Anthropologie The Mud Fairy Gold Accent Monogram Mug, $18 Best Under $50: La Chatelaine Hand Cream Gift Set, $30 Best Jewelry Gift: Ana Luisa Mini Custom Name Necklace, $145 Best Designer Gift: Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28, $295 Best for Teen Girl: Robe Curls Curling Headband, $28 Best Stocking Stuffer: Laneige Sparkling Lip Duo, $32 Personalize this delicate necklace with her name—or her kid’s or pet’s—for a gift that feels thoughtful and pretty enough to wear every day. This viral K-beauty brand (and Glamour editor favorite) has packaged two of its cult-favorite lip balms in special, holiday-ready shades of shimmering champagne and plum.
I’ll be carrying both in my purse through New Year’s. A quilted tote like this one is a refreshing update to a backpack or gym bag, but carries just as much stuff. I have written about Advent calendars for six years, and this is one of the very best that crosses my desk.
It’s a gift she can stretch through December, with 12 days of genuinely good beauty and skin care products, including a mini of my favorite Ilia mascara, Grown Alchemist hand cream, Clean Reserve cherry perfume, and Dr. Brandt’s facial exfoliator. Any new mom on your list could use some pampering, so treat her to a deliciously soft, cooling robe from Lunya.
The brand’s washable silk is a breeze to take care of, meaning wine spills or baby mishaps won’t ruin it. These heatless curlers are a Glamour gift guide bestseller. She can wrap damp hair around the TikTok-viral silk rolls, head to sleep, and wake with perfect curls (no heat required).
