59 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 monogrammed jewelry box she can travel with, or a journal that’ll 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 gift–and, like everything else on this list, it’s on sale for Black Friday. If you’re 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 crème de la crème of the gifts we’ve given, received, and recommended to the special women in our lives through the years–and they’re all currently marked down, which means you can spend a few extra coins on the card, arguably, the most important part.

BCTex Coll Velvet House Slippers

These cute, frilly slippers made with an ultracomfortable memory-foam sole will transform her into a 1940s film starlet padding around her movie trailer. Sure, she probably already has a pair of slippers, but these are especially great for the ’gram, and they’re a terrific last-minute gift.

J.Crew Dreamy Cotton-Blend Pajama Pant Set

“I’m very fussy about my pajamas,” says Schwartz. “They 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.”

Intelligent Change The Five-Minute Journal

Shopping for a wellness-minded best friend who needs a moment, or a coworker you don’t know super well? A guided journal like this one is a meaningful present that provides prompts to help her create some space for gratitude and self-care. It’s designed for the person who doesn’t have a ton of time in their day or who finds journaling intimidating. In minutes she can fill out short lists that finish such bite-size prompts as “What would make today great?” and “Highlights of the day.” It’ll also be to their doorstep in no time if you’re an Amazon Prime member.

Ugg Discoquette Slides

Every teen we polled said that Ugg ranks high on their wish lists, but this ultracomfortable slipper, which can be worn outside, makes a fab cozy gift for a woman of any age–and it’s the first time we’ve seen this style on sale. If she (like Rihanna, the Hadids, and virtually every other celeb) can’t get enough of Ugg, go for these best-selling plush slippers—they look equally cute with leggings or sweats.
