She knows exactly what she wants — but that doesn't mean you do. If you're here, then I'll take it that you're in need of some unique gift ideas for the women in your life: your girlfriend or wife, mom, grandmother, sister and so on. And lucky for you, I'm an expert in this area — in more ways than one.
As Yahoo's gifting editor, it's literally my job to help people find cool, one-of-a-kind gifts for the people they love most. That means you won't find any generic ideas on this list (think: candles and coffee mugs). Instead, I've rounded up a bunch of gift-worthy items that I personally either love or have given to friends and family. I've also thrown a few buzzy bestsellers into the mix — the shower steamers and Lululemon belt bag, to name a couple.
You're sure to find the ideal gift for her, no matter your budget. Go with the Baggu Crescent Bag or the Stanley Quencher if she likes to keep up with the trends (if she's on TikTok, she'll know). Or if you want to splash out on something special for Christmas, her birthday or your anniversary, the Kendra Scott crystal choker necklace is a winner. My two cents: You really can't go wrong with any of these picks.
Keep scrolling for a range of gifts that are just as thoughtful and fun as she is. (And, hey, if you're also shopping for your favorite men, check out these standout gifts for guys.)
Body Restore
Upgrade her everyday shower with these scented tabs, which release essential oils as they dissolve to ease congestion and enhance relaxation. "They take a mundane daily experience and elevate it. As a stay-at-home mom, I feel like — even for the briefest moment — I’m at the spa," one happy customer wrote. Opt for the variety mix, so she can breathe in all six scents: eucalyptus, citrus, tea tree, lavender, rose, and milk and honey.
BAGGU
Crescent bags took the early 2000s by storm — and they're back and bigger than ever (quite literally). This nylon one from Baggu — yep, the brand known for its lightweight, foldable shopping bags — "can hold so much without looking like a huge bulky purse," according to one five-star fan who dubbed it the "best everyday bag." Choose from two neutral hues: navy and olive green.
Zappos
One of our editors walked over 30K steps in these sneakers and raved that "they were so comfortable, I honestly forgot I was wearing shoes at all." Although the cushioned foam insole and breathable fabric lining are made with runners in mind, teachers, nurses and other reviewers who are on their feet for hours on end swear by ’em. “I’ll never wear anything else. I’m on my feet on concrete floors for about 14 hours a day, and these have made a world of difference with my knee and back pain caused by that,” one wrote.
Apsvo
These bestselling chunky teardrop earrings, which come in gold, silver, rose gold and an array of bold shades, are the perfect everyday statement. “Lightweight enough for everyday wear and don’t irritate my super-sensitive ears,” one satisfied reviewer wrote, adding that they are a “great dupe” for designer styles.
Tymo
A cross between a comb and a flat iron, this straightening brush has five temperature settings to effectively straighten different hair textures. “I have thick, curly to frizzy hair that can look a bit ‘witchy’ when it's humid or if I brush out the curls. All I do is run this heated brush through my air-dried hair and I have straight, smooth hair in about a third of the time it takes to blow-dry,” a five-star fan wrote.
Bed Buddy
Pop this lavender-scented wrap in the microwave for 30 seconds to soothe tired, aching joints and muscles. Wrap it around your neck or place it on any of various trouble areas for much-needed relief.
Walmart
Talk about a one-pan wonder. This kitchen workhorse will be the answer to all her cooking needs, whether she wants to steam veggies, braise meats or throw together a quick stir fry. It even comes with a steamer basket and has built-in spouts on two sides for easy pouring. “Nothing sticks; clean-up is a breeze,” one Walmart shopper raved, noting that it comes in “pretty” colors” like cornflower blue and sage green.
Bedsure
This Shark Tank favorite (available in 14 bold and understated colors) offers the warmth and comfort of a blanket with the versatility of a plush bathrobe. “I want to live in it. I took it on a trip to Colorado during the winter and was able to sit on the balcony in just this and still be warm in temperatures well below freezing,” one very happy — and warm — customer gushed.
Puransen
Flowers tell a story — especially when placed inside this acrylic vase, which is designed to look like an actual book. Stick real or faux blooms inside to prove that very point.
Lululemon
You’ve seen the classic belt bag everywhere (hence the name), but what about this winterized version? It comes in three neutral hues — brown, black and cream — so whatever you pick is sure to match her day-to-day look.
Vlando
Thanks to you, her jewelry will travel in style. Small but mighty, this monogrammed jewelry case has seven ring slots, three necklace hooks, eight earring holes and a removable divider to keep her other treasures organized.
Stanley
If she’s somehow managed to escape the Stanley craze, then now’s the right time to give in. At one point, the Quencher, which is loved for its ability to keep drinks hot or cold, reached an all-time-high waiting list of 150,000 — but luckily now you can get your hands on the 40-ounce tumbler in a variety of colors.
TheraGun
Roll out tension or soreness with this portable massager. It’s small enough to fit under the arches of your feet, inside the crook of your neck and around other common trouble areas. For guided relief, follow routines and expert how-tos on the Therabody app.
Lillusory
This set is just as comfy as her favorite sweatsuit, but it looks chic enough to be worn at the grocery store, school drop-off or wherever the day takes her. Described by one reviewer as “luxurious comfort,” this slouchy set is available in 26 colors, ranging from muted neutrals to vibrant hues.
Rare Beauty
She already glows from the inside out, but these liquid blushes and highlighters will take things up a notch. The blushes, in particular, are a cult favorite since they’re pigmented with solid staying power — and now she’ll be able to test out the mini versions in peach and pink.
Dr. Scholl's Shoes
Nixplay
Choosing one picture to frame is no easy feat, so why not let her pick which ones go on display? Once she logs into the Nixplay app, she can send photos or videos straight from her phone — Facebook, Instagram or her camera roll — to the 10-inch digital frame.
HOPO
There’s a time and a place for sport mode. When she wants to dress up her Apple Watch, she can switch out her silicone watch band for this resin tortoiseshell one, which can easily be adjusted to fit securely on her wrist. See all 45 patterns.
Laifen
Like the Dyson, but with a realistic price tag. No frizzy, damaged hair here: The brushless motor and negative ion technology dries hair quickly without causing it to lose its natural shine.
Marycele
She has more candles than you can count, but now she’ll be able to take in the aroma without worrying about open flames, smoke or soot. Place any jar candle under this warming lamp and let it melt for up to eight hours.
Nesting Project
Take one of her favorite recipes — either one of her own or someone else’s — and get the handwritten version printed onto a tea towel. Leave it plain, or jazz it up with navy or red stripes.
The Bouqs
Fresh flowers only last so long, but this subscription (starting at $137) will guarantee that she’ll have a new bouquet of pretty blooms each month. Just line up the delivery dates with special occasions — her birthday, an anniversary or a day when she could use a mood boost — then let the Bouqs send an arrangement of lovely stems.
Uncommon Goods
Give her a portable book nook. This acacia wood valet has a designated spot for all her reading essentials: her novel, reading glasses, phone and drink of choice.
ProsourceFit
Acupuncture — the act of targeting pressure points with thin needles — has been used for centuries to relieve tension and pain. Now she can feel this sweet relief at home by lying on this bestselling mat and pillow, which have nearly 8,000 acupressure points in total.
Kendra Scott
A little sparkle goes a long way — and this choker is proof. Dainty crystal accents line the gold or silver chain for added flair.
West Elm
Whether she likes her martinis dirty or with some espresso mixed in, she'll feel like royalty when she sips ’em out of these beaded glasses. Inspired by the styles found at Parisian flea markets, sets come in light pink, cornflower blue or crystal clear.
Vivaia
She’ll feel good each and every time she slips on these faux-fur-lined slippers — for two reasons: Not only do shoppers rave about their comfort and support levels, but the knit uppers are made out of recycled plastic bottles, making them just as sustainable as they are stylish.
Calpak
The next time she hits the skies — or even the gym — she can tote this ultra-lightweight weekender. The exterior is made out of water- and scratch-resistant material, plus it has nine pockets, including a separate shoe compartment.
Anthropologie
Not all blankets are created equal. With 12 eye-catching colors and prints, this faux-fur throw makes a statement — especially to anyone who snuggles up in it. “My partner loves them, my pets love them, and I love them! We have three and are planning to get more,” one Anthropologie shopper gushed.
Quince
Cashmere sweaters usually come at a price, but not this one. Made with 100% Mongolian cashmere, this classic crewneck is three times as warm as wool and incredibly versatile. Pick from 18 colors — some will match her sophisticated neutral palette, others will give a much-needed pop of color.
