I’ve been in charge of curating The Everymom’s guide to holiday gifts for women for three years now. And it is, without a doubt, my favorite one to work on. This guide is entirely filled with gifts that our team would want for ourselves. That’s how you know it’s good! I pulled some of these items directly from the note I keep on my phone with gift ideas I think of throughout the year. You know, for when my mom or my partner inevitably asks for some ideas come Christmastime.

As The Everymom’s commerce editor, I am monitoring what our readers are buying all year long. The shopping choices our readers make every day inspired many of these gift picks. You might be here looking ideas for your own list. We’re hoping you find that perfect thing you didn’t even know you needed. And if you landed here because your wife sent you a link, we can guarantee that there’s something here she’ll love.

We rounded up 40 holiday gifts for the women in your life (including yourself!). This list includes beautiful and sentimental keepsakes, treat-yourself skincare sets, and fashion favorites. There are gifts for those who love to cook and bake. You’ll find a couple of beauty gadgets for those who prioritize self-care. There are special splurge gifts that she’ll have forever. No matter what her personality and interests are, you’ll find a gift here that is sure to be a hit.

If your goal is to be the “Queen of Gift Giving” this year, we‘re here to help you. Explore more gifts in our full holiday gift guide. You’ll find ideas for everyone on your list! 

quince gray cardigan
Quince
Australian Merino Wool Collared Cardigan

Over the last couple of years, Quince has solidified itself as a major editor-favorite brand. And we especially can’t get enough of their knitwear (I personally own four or five sweaters and love them all). At just $80, this 100% Australian Merino Wool sweater is the steal of the year. It comes in four colors, and the cable-knit detailing adds an extra-stylish touch.
