84 Best Gifts for Women in 2024

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 wouldn’t be likely to buy herself–whether it’s a practical small gift like a portable phone charger or a journal that’ll encourage her to take five minutes for herself (something any woman would love).

If she could use some self-care (say she’s a new mom), a weighted sleep mask makes a great present. If you’re looking to go the meaningful route, choose something that’ll remind her of her loved ones (think a digital frame preloaded with snaps of her cherished memories or a unique sweatshirt embroidered with her pup’s face). And if you don’t really know what to get her, popular foolproof options include beauty gift sets (think luxury hand lotions) and, of course, a high-end candle that she might be reluctant to splurge on but is not-so-secretly wish-listing. Or better yet, a candle customized with her birthdate and astrological sign.

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.
