It’s fair to say that locating the best gifts for her — whether that be your wife, girlfriend, mum, best friend or sister — is no easy task. Even as a full-time Commerce Writer, I still get totally stumped when it comes to birthdays, Christmas and promotions. Because the perfect gift requires you to walk a thin line between something they want, need and like.
Thankfully, the entire girl band, otherwise known as GLAMOUR’s shopping editors, have weighed in to create an aesthetic edit of the best gifts for women in 2025. Think precious keepsakes to chic dressing gowns and scented candles, as well as luxury offerings that’ll earn you a barrage of brownie points (LED face masks, designer handbags and the like).
Yep, we’re calling time on gift cards, prosecco and supermarket flower bouquets. Yep, lazy and low-effort gifts are out. So, read on and let us prove that she absolutely does not already have everything.
How we choose the best gifts for women:
Our team of shopping editors – Sophie Cockett, Shani Cohen, Georgia Trodd, Mayola Fernandes and Sophie Donovan – oversee this gift guide alongside every other gift guide on the GLAMOUR website to ensure that gift-giving is stress-free. We regularly attend press days and product launches to test, try and use the latest in fashion, beauty and lifestyle to ensure you only buy gifts that are worth your money. When gifts haven’t been directly reviewed by a member of the GLAMOUR Shopping team, we rely on customer reviews and tend to stick to brands we already know we adore.
