The 40 best gifts for women that she's sure to love in 2025

Broida's a fan, and I'm sure Dad will be, too. "Although the Pexar Lexar doesn't have every bell and whistle, it does deliver what's important: a bright, sharp screen, plenty of local storage and an affordable price," he wrote in his roundup of the best digital picture frames. Send photos to this frame straight from your phone, iCloud or Google Photos before you give it to Dad — or wait until you can show him the ropes.

It'll be a very cashmere Christmas, indeed. Made with Quince's beloved Mongolian cashmere, this classic crewneck is three times as warm as wool yet lightweight enough for layering. Take it from this recent cashmere convert: "I haven't liked cashmere in the past, but this is super soft and not itchy at all. No need for a T-shirt underneath." 

Pick from 14 colors — some will match her sophisticated neutral palette, others will give a much-needed pop of color.

A little sparkle goes a long way — and this piece is proof. It's been an entire decade since its debut, but this Kendra Scott beauty gets hotter by the year, with Google searches increasing by a whopping 175% in 2024. Popular among teens and adults alike, this bona fide classic comes in a bunch of eye-catching combos — from this understated rose quartz stunner to more daring statements.

The next time she jet-sets — or hits the gym — she can carry all her belongings in this lightweight weekender (which weighs in at just over two pounds). The exterior is made out of water- and scratch-resistant material, plus it has a separate shoe compartment and eight other pockets.

Commerce Writer Sarah Weldon says it's changed the way she's traveled, if you're looking for more in-depth reasoning to spoil your sister with this bag. 

If you're set on giving her a candle, might I offer a (friendly) suggestion? Pair it with this chic lamp, which actually warms the wax so she can enjoy the candle's aroma without any smoke, soot or flame. Candle warmer lamps made Google's Holiday 100 in 2023, but the trend is clearly here to stay given that the top ones keep selling out again and again. Snag Amazon's No. 1 bestseller while you still can. 

Have his littlest loves press their palms into the wet cement, then stamp their names and decorate it with multi-colored gems. This kit comes with everything you need — just make sure you allot at least 36 hours for the stone to harden before gifting. Prices vary by stone size, with the 10" option starting at $25 (or $30 with the stamp). 

Does she bring a bagged lunch to work? Now, she'll be able to warm up a single serving of soup, chili or last night's leftovers right at their desk. "I recently used it during a 10-hour class and my chili was piping hot within an hour," one five-star fan gushed. "I've experienced zero leaks with it and it doesn't require much space."

Ask anyone who's been in a healthy, lasting marriage and they'll tell you that showing up for your partner also means encouraging them to take care of themselves. This set of 12 under-eye patches will do the trick. Sure, they combat dark circles, puffiness and the other usual suspects, but they'll also remind her to prioritize self-care. Talk about a win-win!

Sometimes, the only thing that a parent wants is a listening ear. With an annual Storyworth subscription, they'll be prompted to think back to past moments that shaped them, reflect on the present and make predictions about the future. Their weekly writings and accompanying photos will be bound into a hardcover book when the year's up.

Perfume is personal, and Olfactory knows this all too well. They specialize in custom scents — you can visit one of their brick-and-mortar stores to make your own or order a box for an at-home experience. The latter comes with nine samples of their core scents along with a $20 credit to redeem a Tinkerer Box, which comes with six custom variations of her favorite scent from the original sampling. Once she settles on her overall favorite from the bunch, she can use the credit on the Tinkerer Box sleeve to order a full-size fragrance. 

Give her a place to rest her latest read without losing her places. This acacia wood valet doubles as a bookmark and also has a designated spot for her trusty pair of glasses and go-to coffee mug.

If espresso martinis are her nightcap of choice, then give her everything she needs to make 'em right at home. She doesn't need to be a mixologist to whip up something delicious — just pour liquor into the steeping jar, which is pre-filled with espresso beans, cacao nibs and cinnamon. Wait a week so it can work its magic, then serve and enjoy.

While you likely recognize the bestselling 40-ounce Stanley tumbler that comes with a handle (a personal favorite of mine!), did you know that Stanley also makes an adorable 14-ounce bottle? This petite tumbler is ideal for keeping by your bedside or on your desk, and it is a total steal for just $20. One of Stanley's larger tumblers earned a spot on our list of the best water bottles of 2024, but this pint-size version may prove to be a bit more practical. 

Shower them with love this Valentine's Day — but actually. Tucked inside, they'll find six shower steamers, which emit a subtle rose, lavender or other calming aroma as they evaporate.

She's cool and all, but that doesn't mean she wants to be cold. See what I did there? Whenever she catches a chill, she can throw on this wearable blanket to warm up her body from head to toe — while she's still working, eating, doing household chores or even walking the dog. Choose from 16 colors, ranging from basic neutrals to eye-catching brights.

This bestselling acupressure mat and pillow set is designed to stimulate blood circulation and increase endorphins in as little as 10 minutes. It's lightweight and portable, so it's equally handy whether someone is sick or could just use a boost because of aches and pains.

One of 31,000 five-star fans declared, "I bought this to help with back pain, and it is amazing! You have to be careful when you get on it because the plastic bits are very sharp. Once you're on it though, it is very relaxing, and feels very nice."

Giving skin care as a gift is typically a no-no, but hear me out on this one: Romolini has tried just about everything in the beauty aisle, and she swears by these collagen masks (especially for travel!). "The potent mix of ultra-moisturizing oligo-hyaluronic acid and complexion-brightening niacinamide here goes a long way toward improving skin texture and making you look glowier overall," she raved.

Not all blankets are created equal. With 12 eye-catching colors, 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.

Because counting sheep gets old pretty fast. Take a look at the glowing reviews of this smart sleep clock and you'll realize that the price of a solid night's rest is right around $170. It has something for every stage of her sleep journey — light and sound cues will tell her it's time for bed; soothing nature sounds and guided meditations will put her to sleep; and a gradual sunrise alarm will wake her. "It doesn’t treat sleep like a productivity hack. It makes unwinding feel like an actual choice instead of an obligation," one well-rested reviewer raved.

Now, she'll be able to make a fast and easy brew when she needs it most. "I filled it halfway and the water was boiling in 40 seconds. I didn't even have the tea bag out of the envelope yet," one tea lover gushed. It's brewtiful to look at, but the angled, no-spill spout is the real star of the show here, especially if she drinks matcha or pour-over coffee from time to time. Pick from eight hues, including pastels like cornflower blue and rosy pink. 

Ask her and she'll tell you that a good night's sleep is worth its weight in gold. A weighted sleep mask may be just the thing she needs to start snoozing — it blocks out light while also applying gentle pressure across the head, similar to a weighted blanket. Thousands of well-rested reviewers say it's changed their sleep game, including a night-shift nurse who called it a "marvelous little invention" and claims it "stays put even if you're a side sleeper."

How about you trade fresh flowers for this bunch that'll last forever? That's right, she can build the 15 stunning stems and bask in their beauty for years on end — no watering or sunlight required, just the occasional dusting. Make sure she has a vase handy (or gift her one!), so she can put them on display as soon as she places the final brick. 

Her whozits and whatzits deserve a pretty place to rest. Instead of going with a basic, er, boring trinket dish, opt for this shell stunner (yep, it's real!) that's just as beautiful as the baubles placed inside. Nab it in one of 10 delicate designs, ranging from hydrangeas and lemons to statement scallops (shown here).

Fresh flowers only last so long, but this luxe subscription (available in three sizes starting at $149) 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 Bouqs send an arrangement of lovely stems.

These chunky teardrop earrings make a subtle (yet stylish) statement. "Lightweight enough for everyday wear and don't irritate my super-sensitive ears," one satisfied reviewer wrote, adding that these are a "great dupe" for designer styles. Pick from a range of colors and sizes.

The slouchier the bag, the better. Last season's "it bag" is still making waves and while you could always splash out on a designer version (like the Coach Brooklyn purse that costs 10x more), this Target fave gets the job done. "This bag is THAT girl," one stylish shopper wrote. "I’ve gotten so many compliments from so many people. These bags will be easy to change throughout the seasons too!"

Go for the burgundy or brown suede version to double up on the trends.

Her bulky, worn-out wallet has got to go. Convince her to opt for something small and sleek, like this Kate Spade cardholder with enough slots for her on-the-go essentials. It comes in tons of classic hues, but I'm all for this floral version since it'll be even easier to spot in her handbag. 

A tub of Sol de Janeiro's award-winning Bum Bum Cream will normally set you back $48, but you can snag this travel-size duo for less than half the price. Not only is it a serious steal, but it's the perfect gift if she wants to test out two of the brand's beloved body creams — one has a nutty, sweet scent; the other leans into fruits and florals. 

A big, bouncy blowout can do wonders. More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers picked up this blow dryer brush in the last month to get the salon look for less. The glowing reviews say it all: "I have thick, curly hair. Straightening it is such a pain and takes forever. It dries my hair and straightens all in one and in half the time," one satisfied shopper wrote, adding that it also results in smoother, frizz-free locks. 

Flowers tell a story — especially when placed inside this acrylic vase, which is designed to look like an actual book. "This is a classy and cute little bookend. Sturdy, good quality and serves its purpose well," says a reviewer who bought this gem as a gift. Stick real or faux blooms inside to prove that very point.

Speaking of candles, proper care results in a cleaner, more even burn. This set covers all the bases: She'll be able to trim her wicks, prevent wick smoldering and snuff the flame. 

Track down a handwritten version of her favorite recipe and get it printed on this tea towel, available in red stripe, navy stripe and plain. It'll be an instant keepsake.

Those Anthropologie juice glasses that have taken the internet by storm? Meet their vase counterpart. Each one is decked out with different hand-pressed glass beads, ranging from classic hearts to sweeter-than-honey bumblebees. Fill your pick with fresh-from-the-garden blooms for a well-rounded gift. 

There's a time and a place for sport mode, but when she wants to dress up her Apple Watch, she can switch out her silicone watchband for this resin tortoiseshell one, which can easily be adjusted to fit securely on her wrist. If tortoiseshell isn't her thing, the bands come in 42 other patterns like jade or pearl blue.

Dubai chocolate isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. These melt-in-your-mouth truffles are an upgraded version of the viral chocolates — each bite is filled with the brand's signature pistachio knafeh ganache, but you can eat a single truffle versus breaking out a whole bar. 

This one's for the casual wine drinkers. The next time she cracks open a bottle, she can seal it with this airtight stopper to keep it nice and fresh for an additional 10 days. That's she right, she can pop open some Pinot one weekend and sip on her second glass the next. 

Watch tea flowers bloom as they steep, then sip on the delightful result. Get 12 green tea varieties in this set, all of which can be enjoyed up to three times for up to 20 cups of tea. Pair it with a clear glass teapot, so she can see the magic unfold. 

Pop this lavender-scented wrap in the microwave for 30 seconds to soothe aches and pains, or chill it in the freezer to ease swelling and inflammation. Wrap it around your neck or place it on any trouble areas for relief.

Oprah loves these paint-by-numbers kits, and I'm sure the woman in your life will too. It comes with everything she needs to bring these blooming beauties to life, including a pre-printed 16" x 20" canvas, water-based acrylic paints and four paintbrushes of varying sizes. It's a tad more intricate than other designs, but the brand says even budding artists will finish their masterpiece in 12 to 18 hours tops.
