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

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."

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.

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. 

Have a jet-setter on your hands? Now's a good time to update her carry-on. This lightweight, water-resistant weekender has all the bells and whistles, including a trolley sleeve, a separate shoe compartment and pockets galore.

It's the ultimate travel companion (ask my mom!), but one Calpak shopper pointed out that it's so much more than that. "I use my Luka duffel as a bag for my breast pump supplies when I go to work. It should seriously be marketed for this! All of the pockets are so great for storing different parts and snacks, and the shoe pocket is great for the pump itself. The material is awesome because it's so easy to clean."

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 beloved for its ability to keep drinks hot or cold, reached an all-time-high waiting list of 150,000 — but luckily, you can now get your hands on the 40-ounce tumbler in a variety of colors.

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. 

The glowing reviews about these faux-leather kicks speak for themselves. "I bought them for Europe and didn't even need to break them in. We walked 10,000-plus steps a day and my feet never hurt," wrote one happy customer, who called them "the most comfortable shoes I own." Even people with plantar fasciitis love them. "I walked all around NYC, and they held up well and my feet never got sore. I have plantar fasciitis, and these helped so much compared to my other cute sneakers," wrote one.

Cashmere sweaters usually come at a price, but not this one. Made with 100% Mongolian cashmere, this classic long-sleeve crewneck is three times as warm as wool and incredibly versatile. Pick from 16 colors — some will match her sophisticated neutral palette, others will give a much-needed pop of color.

Puffy, tired eyes are no match for these celeb-approved eye masks. Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini also swears by them (and she's a celeb in our eyes!) because they nourish and brighten the delicate under-eye area and look super cute while doing so. Each color targets something different — pink moisturizes with hyaluronic acid, gold gives a youthful glow, and blue is packed with niacinamide to illuminate dark circles.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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. 

Because love makes a garden grow. Ask all of their favorite people to press their palms into the wet cement, then stamp their names and decorate it with multi-colored gems. Just make sure you allot at least 36 hours for the stone to set before giving it to her. Prices vary by stone size, with the 10" option starting at $25 (or $31 with the stamp set).

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.

If you have a bookworm on your list, a portable book nook is the gift she never knew she needed. This acacia-wood valet has a designated spot for all her reading essentials: her novel, reading glasses, phone and drink of choice.

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.

Take the pictures from her phone (and yours!) and put 'em on display. Use the accompanying app to create a running slideshow of your best memories together, then show her the ropes so she can add to it as the years go on. There are a bunch of digital picture frames out there, but Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida named this new(ish) Lexar pick the best of the bunch because it has "a bright, sharp screen, plenty of local storage and an affordable price." Sold? Thought so. 

Cold lunches get the job done, but this little gizmo can warm up a single serving of soup, chili or last night's leftovers right at her desk. "I recently used it during a 10-hour class, and my chili was piping hot within an hour," one satisfied shopper gushed. "I've experienced zero leaks with it, and it doesn't require much space."

For the woman who loves a routine, this ultra-smart alarm clock will start her day off right. It gently wakes her up with light that mimics her natural circadian rhythm, and the sound machine covers a ton of background noises to help her sleep better. This Hatch beauty beats out other sunrise alarm clocks in the looks department, but Contributing Health Writer Sharon Brandwein also says it's a must for anyone trying to keep phones out of their bedroom. "You can easily select your preset 'rest' or 'rise' routines — no app or phone required," she wrote. 

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. 

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. 

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.

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 mint, citrus, lavender, jasmine, bergamot spring and chamomile.

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.

Acupuncture — the act of targeting pressure points with thin needles — has been used for centuries to relieve tension and pain and as a form of self-care. Now she can get the same sweet relief at home by laying on this top-selling mat and pillow combo, which has nearly 8,000 acupressure points in total.

This Shark Tank favorite 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 toasty — customer gushed.

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. 

Memories are priceless, and Storyworth is a simple way to ensure that they live on forever. They'll send her a year's worth of emails with prompts to guide her story (like "What is the furthest you've ever traveled?"). When the year's up, they'll compile all of her writing into a hardbound book — the fact that you care enough to ask is the greatest gift you can give her, and the final product is something future generations will cherish.

Picking out a perfume for someone else is risky business, but this fragrance customization kit will let her take the reins. She'll get nine samples of its 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 perfume.
