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. The key is to zero in on little ways to help her upgrade her life, and find the thing she wouldnât be likely to buy herselfâwhether itâs a practical small gift like a monogrammed jewelry box she can travel with, or a journal thatâll encourage her to take five minutes for herself (what all women really want).
If she could use some self-care (say, your Secret Santa is a new mom), then a weighted sleep mask makes a fantastic under $50 giftâand, like everything else on this list, it’s on sale for Black Friday. If youâre looking to go the meaningful route, help her take a walk down memory lane with a digital frame preloaded with snaps of her most cherished moments. Or, if you really want to wow her with a unique gift, a sweatshirt with her pup’s face embroidered on it is one of our favorite things to give. Shopping for someone who has everything? A bespoke candle customized with her birthdate (it’s probably listed on Facebook) is our most recommended idea and it’s 20%.
These are the crĂšme de la crĂšme of the gifts we’ve given, received, and recommended to the special women in our lives through the yearsâand they’re all currently marked down, which means you can spend a few extra coins on the card, arguably, the most important part.

J.Crew Dreamy Cotton-Blend Pajama Pant Set
âI’m very fussy about my pajamas,â says Schwartz. âThey have to be soft enough so they don’t irritate my, err, decollatage, and these set from J.Crew are as soft as any way more expensive ones I’ve owned (read: Eberjey). Now that they’re 40% off during J.Crew’s Black Friday sale, it’s a good chance to give her a little taste of buttery soft heaven. You can also embroider them with her name or initials for a more meaningful touch.â
