Here's What to Buy the Woman Who "Has Everything" (According to Myself, an Editor With a Lot of Stuff)
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Hi, hello, this is a safe space for anyone who is struggling to buy gifts for the woman who has everything, because—and I’ll say this shamelessly—I am that person who is so dang hard to shop for. My family, friends, and boyfriend are constantly trying to suss out what I haven’t already tested for an article or purchased for myself. But it’s possible for you to nail the gift-giving on our birthdays/holidays/anniversaries! I promise! So gather around while I spill some inside info on where to buy gifts for women who have everything.
First of all: Justice for the shopaholics who “already own aNyThiNg they could pOsSibLy nEeD,” okay? This chronically-online friend of yours who owns the TikTok GRWM headband and the silk pillowcases of their dreams doesn't actually have everything. If you ask me, she’s just a cool girl who happens to be in the know and bought the trendy stuff weeks before your other friends! Sue us!
That being said, it'll require a teensy bit more love and effort to track down a meaningful, interesting gift for them, but it’ll be worth it. And luckily for you, Cosmo’s Team Shop is full of cool girls who love writing about the ins and outs of what all of your super stylish friends will be buying a few months from now, so you’ve come to the perfect source for help.
Below, I’ve put together a varied mix of elevated, collectible prezzies that’ll catch their eye and cool, viral items they’ve been meaning to buy for ages. Promise that everything carries the general air of “Wow, which niche shop did they buy these from?” for major clout points with your purchase. And honestly? I wouldn’t be shocked if you find some things to snag for yourself, too. So without further ado…

Forever Eye Mask
Dubbed by the brand as "the last eye mask you'll ever need," these reusable patches can be applied right over your eye creams and serums as a sustainable alternative to single-use patches. I (a person who has tested many, many eye masks) use these every day over my eye cream and it’s a total game-changer.
Stick it! Magnetic Suction Mount
This little phone suction is the secret to filming the perfect OOTD video using literally any wall, window, or surface. It’s MagSafe-compatible, but it also comes with a magnet if they don’t own a MagSafe case!

Their fancy organic produce deserves the best, and by the best I mean these cotton mesh totes that are perfection for farmers market Saturdays.

They might already own candle sticks… but these eclectic, striped candles are on a whole new level. They’re practically too pretty to burn.
Ballerina Bows iPhone Case
This case = Eloise at the Plaza vibes. Need I say more?

Turn their little book collection into an official ~home library~ with a custom “From the library of…” stamp. You can choose between a wood stamp with an ink pad or a self-inking stamp!
Charlotte Tilbury Iconic Mini Lip Trio
If she’s truly someone who has tried everything, she’s probably tested the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks and L-O-V-E-D them. Gift her a restock of their three best-selling shades (one for her bag, one for her desk, and one for her car, obviously).
60 LED Clip-On Ring Light
If you’re looking for a funny, gadget-y gift that’s actually useful, you can’t go wrong with an influencer-favorite toy like this clip-on ring light that Alix Earle uses to magically appear completely poreless in all of her pics.
Kenny Tank Top
This simple, hot tank is a must for the permanently overdressed because #irony.

IMO, there’s no better source of inspo than a stack of Cosmo mags. It’s the gift that’ll keep on giving for twelve months straight!
Gold Wick Trimmer and Candle Snuffer
All the candles in the world won’t do them any good if they don’t have the proper tools to maintain them! Plus, there’s something v hot and mysterious about using a candle snuffer. So dramatic!
Crystal Mirrored Jewelry Box
Can you believe that this gorgeous decorative box is an under-$20 ‘zon find?! This is going to look SO good on their dresser.
Jewel Buckle Leather Belt
Sure, they already own belts. But they don’t own THIS belt. And let’s be honest, it would be a great addition to any wardrobe.
Luxe Pima Cotton Sonnet of Swans Sleep Mask
Looking to gift some R&R that doubles as nightstand decor? Look no further than Larroude’s cheeky collection of sleep masks. (Their lobster sleep mask is cute, too!)

Heart-shaped jewelry is usually a no-no but I think we can make an exception for this pretty, colorful charm bracelet!

Borrowing a paddle is soooo last year—deck them out with a shiny new set of their own ahead of 2024’s pickleball szn.
Persephone White Mixed Flowers
Need a gift for a birthday or anniversary that’s, uh, today? Take a deep breath and order one of these bouquets that come with same-day delivery. Problem solved (but maybe put a note on your calendar for next year, lol).
Quad Skate
I bet they don’t own a pair of retro roller skates yet—a new hobby to pick up, perhaps?
Droplet Earrings
Chunky droplet earrings are THE moment. Thankfully, you won’t have to shell out $1350 to a certain designer to achieve that sculptural look—these bad boys are statement-making but not too heavy.
Gorgeous Flora Eyeshadow Palette
They probably already have their go-to neutral palettes, so why not gift them some gorgeous metallics and playful shimmers to get creative with?
Abacus Top Handle Bag (Silver)
Purses that double as decor are twice as nice. This bag is the perfect size to hold keys, lipstick, and a couple of cards.
Little Hottie Pan
Presenting the perfect little baby dish for anyone who lives alone—it’s just the right size for one serving of focaccia or feta pasta. Mmm.
Heritage Ring
This little ring that tracks steps, temperature, sleep, heart rate, and more is the ultimate luxe item, IMO. (Psst: I wrote a full review on why the Oura ring replaced my smartwatches here!)

Turns out that dog parent decor that doesn’t involve “ruff day” puns exists—like, how kitschy-cute is this dachshund doormat?

Book-Shaped Decorative Vase
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a book lover will be in want of this vase…
Talia Ruched Funnel Neck Midi Dress

Under Desk Treadmill Walking Pad
This treadmill can function as a flat walking pad that fits right underneath any standing desk. Alternatively, they can use the foldable workstation to prop up their laptop and create the ultimate productivity setup.
Airstrait™ Straightener
Dyson’s latest innovation would be an excellent gift for the person who just cannot stop styling their hair with hot tools. Oops. The Airstrait™ straightens and dries wet hair using air rather than hot plates, meaning minimal heat damage!
Signature Bundle
Fans of Pvolve (a low-impact strength workout that Jennifer Aniston loves) will be delighted to know that you can achieve the same sweat at home with their signature equipment even if you don’t live near a fancy fitness studio. They’ll get the signature P.ball, P.band, Precision Mat, and a free month of streaming classes that includes on-demand workouts and a trainer consultation.
Long Distance Friendship Lamp
Gift one lamp to your long-distance bestie or partner and keep one for yourself. The asymmetrical wood design is totally under-the-radar and it’ll light up whenever the person with the matching lamp touches theirs. Too cute!
Laptop Stand
I once saw someone use this collapsable, foldable laptop stand in a coffee shop and immediately knew I needed to buy one. Tech neck will be a thing of the past!
Mini Facial Toning Device
If their FYP is anything like mine, they’ve been seeing tons of content about at-home microcurrent devices that take your skincare routine to new heights. This one gives the face a more sculpted appearance using painless electrical currents!
Lash Enhancing Serum
This serum is Cosmo editor Beth Gilette’s #1 choice for the best eyelash serum out there. “Every facialist compliments how thick my lashes are and it’s all thanks to swiping this serum on my lashes every night for two months straight,” she says.
Le Pliage
I own a lot of bags, and I think I’d actually scream if I unwrapped a custom Le Pliage monogrammed with my initials. That’s saying a lot, so yeah, maybe buy one of these for your fashion friends!
Elephant Bottle Opener
This silver elephant looks like it’s just a piece of minimalist bar cart decor but it’s actually the cutest lil bottle opener that’ll totally come in handy every time they play hostess.
Mini Fragrance Discovery Set
Even if this person has everything you could possibly want, I’m sure they wouldn’t say no to (another?) orange box.
L'Été Tote
This summer tote bag is roomy, woven, and perfectly breathable for groceries, flowers, and beach necessities.
Colored Glass Cake Stand
I’m such a sucker for colored glass because of how versatile it is for hosting and decorating. They can use it to display a homemade birthday cake, if they’re feeling particularly Martha Stewart-y, or turn it into a perfume and jewelry organizer.
Custom Vinyl Record 12"
You’ll know for a fact that they don’t already own this, because everything from the song list to the cover of this vinyl is completely customized. Whether you go for love songs that describe your relationship or coming-of-age tunes that you two used to blast in high school, this’ll truly be the most unique gift ever.
Bye Acne: 3-Minute Pimple Spot Treatment
Your skincare junkie friend who’s trying to break their zit-picking habit will obsess over this mini light therapy device that reduces acne and post-breakout inflammation. Psst: The full mask version of this light therapy device won a Cosmo Acne Award in 2023!
PowerShot G7 X Mark II
The internet can’t get enough of the splurge-y G7 X camera, and I hate to say it, but they’re truly onto something. The giftee’s Instagram photos and Hinge pics will forever be elevated thanks to the dreamy, blown-out flash and crisp quality of the Canon G7 X.
Quattro Knit Balaclava
All the cool kids are wearing balaclavas, so your trendiest friend is either all-in on collecting them or has probably had their eye on one for a long time. My personal favorite is this colorful, AAPI-designed option from Verloop.
Kissing Mugs Set
The Earth was made for lover girl mugs… or something like that, right? *Makes the mugs kiss each other*
Dedtergent Milk
Because fancy laundry is totally a thing. They’ll be able to wash their clothes in the same scent as their signature perfume for “you smell so good!” compliments for days.
AirPods Max
Sure, these may be super trendy, but they’re actually really, really good headphones, too. The music automatically pauses when the headphones are removed and the sound quality is *chefs kiss*.
Milan Optic White Sneakers
White sneakers, but make them better. These leather shoes are made with fancy, hands-free technology that allow the wearer to slip their foot right in for the perfect fit every single time.
Luka Duffel
I honestly don’t know what I’d do without my Luka duffel—it slides right over my carry-on handle and is incredibly cushy and light, which is ideal for those days when you’re sprinting through the airport with all your stuff.
Viva La Juicy Sucre Eau De Parfum Spray
For the girly girl and the gourmand lover, Viva La Juicy Sucre is the perfect fragrance gift. It’s a sweet perfume with fruity notes and nostalgic vibes all around.
