No one ever said finding the best gifts for women would be easy, but it gets especially tricky when you’re shopping for a particular kind of woman. The mom-figure in your life who taught you the beauty of a good skin care splurge; the bestie whose favorite gossip account isn’t Deuxmoi but Estée Laundry; the sister who turned you onto the Allure Beauty Box. If it wasn’t obvious, anything beauty-centric or beauty-adjacent will get you a flurry of doe-eyed emojis in return.
The category is life’s little luxuries: Emi Jay has pretty (and customizable!) boar-bristle brushes that are the personification of joy. A Dior lipstick case to house her favorite shade of Lip Glow Balm would be a home run. And she’ll lose it if a makeup bag from Gucci shows up on her doorstep. Of course, any self-care present is always welcome and appreciated. Would you say no to Lunya‘s washable silk pajama set, or perhaps an adorable heart-shaped Coach bag? We didn’t think so. All that and more below make up the best gifts for women in 2024.
