When it comes to shopping for the leading ladies in your circle, the best gifts for women are more about making a thoughtful gesture than spending a ton. Not to generalize, but we’ve found that what a woman wants, after all, is something she wouldn’t be likely to buy herselfâwhether itâs a luxe upgrade to her tired jammies, or a journal thatâll encourage her to take five minutes for herself (something that even the gals who have everything will appreciate).
If she could use some self-care (say, sheâs a new mom), then a weighted sleep mask makes a great gift for Mother’s Day. If youâre looking to go the meaningful route, choose something thatâll remind her of her loved ones (think a digital frame preloaded with snaps of her cherished memories or a unique sweatshirt embroidered with her pupâs face). And if she’s especially hard to shop for (hey, no judgement), popular foolproof options include high-end candles, or better yet, a candle made to smell like the day she was born (it’s one of our favorite birthday presents to give).
Everything here has been vetted by Glamour editors who have given and received them, and endorsed by our trusted circle of sisters (real and chosen), so you can bet that these ideas will make her feel special. And don’t forget the card. Add one of those and you truly can’t go wrong.
