When it comes to choosing her perfect gift, we’re all wanting to go beyond the usual. Sure, you could never go wrong with flowers and a box of chocolates — it’s the thought that counts, after all.
But while there are countless gifts to choose from, we wanted to narrow down some unique ideas for every woman in your life, like a weather-proof jacket for outdoor enthusiasts and a makeup upgrade for part-time beauty gurus. Consider this your master guide for finding a gift she’ll adore (and use again and again).
The 57 best gifts for her in 2022
Sally Kaplan/Insider
EQUICK Cloud Slides, available at Amazon, $16.99
The TikTok hype may have died down since the popular “pillow slides” trend was at its peak, but these ultra-cushy sandals are still a great gift idea (especially if you’re shopping last minute). They’re available on Amazon in 10 colors and they cost less than $20. You can read our full review of the sandals here.
Printfresh
Bagheera Robe, available at Printfresh, $158
I know, I know, the joke is that women always get a robe, but Printfresh’s robes actually feel unique, special, and luxurious. The prints range from whimsical to ornate and all of the robes are available in sizes small to 6X, making it easy to find a good fit for any body. The fabric is light and soft; perfect for lounging around.
Awe
Goddess Necklaces, available at Awe, from $87.99
A jewelry brand beloved by celebrities, Awe is most well known for its goddess-inspired necklaces. You’ll find necklaces honoring Greek, Norse, Celtic, and real-life “goddesses” like Joan of Arc, Hariett Tubman, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Each makes a stunning and thoughtful gift. Not sure of her inner goddess? Awe has a quiz to help you find out.
Andrea Bossi/Insider
Skin Forever Eye Mask, available at Dieux, $25
Dieux is the cool new beauty editor-founded skincare brand she’s probably been coveting ever since it launched. These reusable eye mask patches are a brilliant gift idea because they’ll help her get more out of her skincare products without you having to figure out what kinds of formulas she needs. She can add her own serum or under-eye cream to the patches and adhere them to her skin to improve absorption, then rinse and reuse day after day. Just make sure she doesn’t have a silicon allergy before you purchase these.
Ulta
Essie Expressie Nail Polish, available at Ulta, Amazon, and Target, from $8.17
Anyone who paints their nails knows the frustration of waiting for the polish to dry and inevitably smudging it anyway. She’ll never have that problem again with a gift of a few Essie Expressive colors. The polish dries in under five minutes — I’ve painted my nails moments before leaving the house and had a flawless finish.
Seedlip
Seedlip Non-Alcoholic Spirits Set, available at Amazon and Seedlip, $89
Seedlip makes non-alcoholic spirits that can be mixed into mocktails or even added to real cocktails. This set comes with three bottles that each have a different flavor profile (herbal, citrus, and spiced), allowing her to explore her tastes and preferences. We even spoke with bartenders about their favorite non-alcoholic spirits and Seedlip was one of the most popular recommendations.
American Girl
American Girl x Stoney Clover collection, available at American Girl, from $59
If they grew up with American Girl dolls, bring back some of the magic with these pouches from Stoney Clover that rep their favorite OG American Girl. Whether they’re a Samantha or a Molly, you’ll find a pouch that honors each doll’s signature print. They make great makeup or accessory storage, and are sure to surprise and delight your giftee. If American Girl wasn’t really their thing, Stoney Clover also has collabs with Star Wars and Disney.
Mejuri
Organic Pearl Hoops, available at Mejuri, $78
If jewelry is her thing, you can’t go wrong with a cute pair of pearl drop earrings. They’re easy to dress up or down, always on-trend, and the gold vermeil won’t turn her ears green.
Patagonia
Patagonia Los Gatos Fleece 1/4-Zip, available at Patagonia, Backcountry, and Dick’s Sporting Goods, from $35.96
Sometimes the most thoughtful gift is one that aligns with her values. If she cares about sustainability, look no further than Patagonia. The Los Gatos fleece is a classic, cozy sweater that’s great for days on the trail or just lounging around and running errands.
Brightland
Mini Essentials Olive Oil and Vinegar Set, available at Brightland, $70
Brightland’s beautifully packaged olive oil was practically made for gift-giving, which is why the brand launched these thoughtful sets that give recipients the chance to try their most popular products. If she loves to cook or entertain, we can’t recommend this gift enough. We’ve tested Brightland’s olive oils before and found them to be best when drizzled as a finishing oil or served straight up with bread.
East Olivia
Forever Florals, available at East Olivia, from $60
Flowers are a classic gift, but these colorful bouquets of dried blooms from East Olivia last year after year — a gift that keeps giving. We named East Olivia the best flower delivery service for dried bouquets in our buying guide, and our testing bouquet is still going strong two years in. Each arrangement comes with its own matching vase.
Amazon
KiKiHeim Plant Watering Globes (2-pack), available at Amazon, $17.99
Does she have a green thumb, or at least wish she did? These self-watering glass globes are a fun addition to her indoor or outdoor garden that will make watering her plants less of a chore. All she needs to do is fill the globes when the water is running low, and they’ll take care of dispensing water into the soil as hydration is needed.
Cuyana
Tall Easy Tote, available at Cuyana, $248
A good tote bag that will last you a lifetime is a gift in and of itself. Cuyana designs all of its bags to remain timeless and usable for decades to come, and this tote bag is a perfect example. It has just one small internal pocket and the rest is just a big open abyss, which means it’s usable as a work bag but also as a gym or travel bag where she may need to shove an endless amount of things in there Mary Poppins style. You can also opt for Cuyana’s The System line of totes, which is slightly more customizable by allowing you to add inserts and straps for personalized internal organization.
Amazon
Logitech POP Keys Mechanical Wireless Keyboard, available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Logitech, from $89.67
It’s hard to find a great keyboard that is also attractive, but Logitech’s POP series manages both. Currently available in three colors, this keyboard will add some personality to her workspace, and since it’s mechanical, each keystroke will give a satisfying “clack.” She can also customize the keys to automatically type her favorite emoji, and there’s a matching mouse available.
Lisa Eadicicco/Insider

If your giftee is an avid traveler, they also come in handy for tracking luggage.
Cider
Count Sheep Stripe Sweater, available at Cider, $36

If you’re curious about how they work, one of our editors breaks it down in a review of the bracelets here.
Anthropologie
Waterfall Stemless Wine Glasses (4-pack), available at Anthropologie, $56
Wine aficionados may snub stemless glasses, but we still love this set from Anthropologie. The design is subtle enough to fit every table setting, with sheer color at the bottom and a gold rim on top. And if she’s looking to upgrade her entire glassware collection, we found 18 other sets that are as striking as they are functional.
Summerland
Chongo Bong, available at Summerland, $250
If their goal is to get high, you can get them any old bong. But if their goal is to get high with a bong that doubles as an artistic statement, you get them Summerland’s Chongo bong.

A set of these cubes makes packing for any trip more manageable.

An Unlimited Membership gives them access to all the site’s classes for the year.
The site hosts classes taught by well-known celebrities and industry leaders — from Neil deGrasse Tyson teaching Scientific Thinking and Communication to Malcolm Gladwell on Writing, Shonda Rhimes on Writing for Television, and Bob Iger on Business Strategy and Leadership.
