39 Holiday Gifts She Won't See Coming

Here's the thing about shopping for the women in your life: No single gift truly fits them all. That's why we took a nuanced approach to curating a textured, dynamic present list for your mom, sister, daughter, significant other, and best friend. Ahead, you'll find several options for each, whatever her style—options that feel polished and inspired, as opposed to same-old, same-old.

While your mom might light up while unwrapping a luxurious silk scarf, emblazoned with 18th- and 19th-century botanical prints, your childhood best friend might appreciate an at-home manicure kit, a fancy nail polish, or a high-tech blowdryer, instead. The point? Your leading ladies have different interests—in fact, they might even have a few more, if they spent the last tumultuous few months trying on new hobbies. If she took up painting, put the ahead watercolor set on her radar; and if she expanded her skill set in the kitchen, a bottle of olive oil is sure to please. Whatever her interests, we've thoroughly nodded to them all with the following must-have holiday gifts for her. From nourishing body oils and selfie touch-up mirrors to sleek wallets and the coolest cuffs, there's a present here for absolutely every woman on your list.

Of course, there are gifts out there that feel more universal, if that's what you're looking for—bookmark the pajama set (the flannel top and bottom get softer with every wear) or waterproof tote, which she'll use to transport just about everything, including groceries. Ahead, more holiday gifts she'll rave about until the following year.
