I'm a Fashion Editor—Here Are the 55 Best Gifts for Women, According to Me
Gift-giving season is upon us, and now is the time to place your orders. If you’re looking for the best of the best when it comes to shopping ideas, I made an edit of the best gifts for women this season, including everything from designer bags to custom monogrammed pieces, and I’ve mapped out ideas that have my personal stamp of approval.
This year, I have my eye on items spanning fashion, beauty, home, and more. Some of my favorite giftable pieces include extra-virgin olive oil imported from Sicily, luxe cashmere knits, weekend bags that are the next best thing to a trip abroad, beautiful investment jewelry from Cartier that will stay in someone’s wardrobe forever, and the travel magazine to get for anyone who is perpetually planning their next vacation. Ahead, the 55 best gifts for women at every price point, according to me.
For the Best-Dressed Person You Know
The Tory Burch shoes every fashion editor is talking about.
There's a reason these Alaïa shoes are nearly impossible to find.
For Their Coffee Table
The cookbook everyone is talking about.
For the Beauty Enthusiast
Le Prunier's plum beauty oil is one of my favorite products, period—and it makes a wonderful gift. The scent is intoxicating.
Make It Personal
You can really go wild with the personalization—take inspiration from @ironicboatandtote.
Personalized gifts are always a great idea. I like to think that the SC on this piece stands for Sofia Coppola.
Finish this refillable leather lipstick case with the recipient's intitials.
For the Bag Person
Who What Wear's editors won't stop chatting about the Ferragamo Hug bags.
For something that isn't quiet luxury.
For the Perpetual Traveler
If someone enjoys hopping on a plane for a getaway, they will love Yolo Journal—a magazine from Yolanda Edwards that is the best in all things travel.
For the Athlete
One of the best gifts to give this season? A hat to go along with Sunset Tennis Club private tennis lessons—they're the best in L.A, according to this editor.
For the Decor Expert
This gorgeous piece from Louise Roe can be filled with ice cream or fruit.
A water bottle has never been cooler than this version from Georg Jensen.
Cocktail glasses that bring the personality.
For the Foodie
Pia and Davide Baroncini's extra-virgin olive oil that is imported from Sicily is the perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook.
Cookie tins from Sant Ambroeus are something I personally love to gift.
For the Jewelry Connoisseur
The classic watch I'm manifesting into my personal wardrobe—hint, hint.
For the watch person? A travel case to carry their timepieces.
For the Kiddos (and Parents)
The entire Bonpoint x Khaite collection is beyond precious.
The Elder Statesman's patchwork teddy bear is the coolest possible piece for a nursery.
A beautiful story to add to their library.
