The Best Gifts For Women That She’s Sure To Love In 2024
Whether on birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas, you might find yourself asking: what is the best gift for the woman in my life? In 2024, that question carries even more weight than in past years – gifting for the sake of gifting is not the answer. Excess is out and thoughtful gift ideas for her that spark joy are in.
The aim is not to over-consume but to “find the perfect gift that will be cherished for years to come”, explains shopping editor Joy Montgomery, who is a pro at picking presents wisely. “A few years ago my family and my husband’s family decided to instate a secret Santa policy for Christmas gifting to avoid excessive consumption – and we have’t looked back since. We send each other wish lists so you know you’re going to get something you actually want. On my list? A Charlotte Tilbury lipstick, a Matilda Goad candle holder and Cow Shed spa vouchers.”
The good news? There are great options for everyone, if you just put your mind to it. Luckily, the shopping experts here at British Vogue have found the best presents for mothers, daughters, wives, friends, – anyone you’d love to gift – not just to help the clueless, but to give early birds a head start. And, yes, there are even unique gifts for women that have everything.

Fashion finds
When it comes to gifting fashion, it can be tricky to know where to start. With an overwhelming pool of clothing and accessories to choose from, you can be left feeling fatigued before the hunt has even started. But fear not, as we’ve made sure to put together an edit that covers all bases. From a pre-loved Fendi Baguette Bag to the perfect pair of boots from Prada, there’s something for every style and budget.
Jewellery gifts
Jewellery symbolises something a little more special, so if you’re searching for a gift with sentimental value, then look no further than our edit of jaw-dropping jewellery. Choose from a bold pendant necklace from Agmes, or opt for a personal touch with Annoushka’s diamond initial pendant. Any of our carefully selected pieces are guaranteed to please.
Exercise enthusiasts
Whether they prefer pilates, Peleton or playing tennis, there is something for every fitness fanatic in our sporty edit. From top-of-the-range earbuds by Bowers & Wilkins to a nifty running vest from Salomon, we’ve done all the leg-work (sorry) for you, and put together a considered edit for all your active acquaintances. Yes, there’s even a Prada jump rope.
Beauty & wellness
Never doubt the power of a well-chosen beauty product. A new scent, a set, or a smudge of something colourful can see someone through the day with an extra pep in their step. Urban Decay’s new Naked palette is perfect those who love to glam, while a Rhode pocket blush would be a welcome gift for anyone always on-the-go. Remember, you don’t have to be a beauty fanatic to enjoy a little self care.
Gifts for the gourmand
Christmas is the time for eating, drinking and being merry – and each of our selects for would-be chefs will help your giftee do just that. Decorate their counter-top with Smeg’s aesthetically pleasing self-standing mixer, toast to the festive season with a Harvey Nichols champagne hamper, or become a pro matcha maker with Abask’s matcha whisk.

Homeware for homebodies
Homeware is a failsafe gift choice. After all, what’s not to love about a beautiful rug or ornamental lamp? You’d be hard pressed to find a room that wouldn’t be improved by Jermaine Gallacher’s zig-zag candlesticks or Sophie Lou Jacobsen’s swirled coasters. Or, for cosy nights in, Arket’s patterned wool blanket is a no-brainer.
