Year after year, it can feel like a daunting task to find unique, personal presents for the very best women in your life. You don't want to stray into cliché territory or stick to something safe or, dare I say it, boring. You want to find the perfect gift she'll love and which makes her feel special – no mean feat. It's also true that you don't have all the time in the world to explore the shops – whether IRL or online. So, for that reason, I have done all of the hard work for you and created the ultimate gift list of thoughtful presents every woman will treasure.

These editor-approved gifts have been hand-picked by me and my fellow Grazia editors, to bring you the very best gifts for everyone, whether you're on a budget or looking to invest in luxury items. No matter who you're buying for – mother, sister, best friend, aunt, grandmother, cousin or anyone else, for that matter – this is the ultimate curated edit of the very best presents to suit all tastes.

Don't think I've just frantically put this together for you – oh no. I have spent months saving up the best pieces that have crossed my path to ensure you've got your pick of only the best gifts for Christmas. Just consider me to be your own personal shopper (for free, you're welcome), allowing you to pour yourself a mulled wine, sit back and shop from the comfort of your own home.

From classic gifts to something more unexpected, I have found glorious accessories, thoughtful experiences, beautiful jewellery, stylish homeware and irresistible beauty gifts, none of which she'll even think about returning. In even better news, you can still receive all of these precious presents before Christmas, as long as you don't hang around...

Best overall Christmas gift for women

This has been one of my go-to gifts for the people I love for some time now – and it never fails to impress. I've sent it to my best friend for her birthday this year and I plan to send it to my sister for Christmas – it's a particularly lovely present for those you love who live far away from you. You can choose the type of flowers you want to send and how often you'd like them to arrive, plus prices start at just £20, making it an affordable, thoughtful and extra-special gift.

barbara sturm winter kit

en.drsturm.com

You know when your skin starts feeling like it's winter: dry, dull, just a bit on the sad side? Well, some of the best products I've used year after year to combat those feelings are from Dr. Barbara Sturm, so I'm excited that the best are now all included in this year's Winter Kit. Featuring seven steps – cleanser, face mask, night serum, calming serum, eye cream, moisturiser and a lip balm – each product works in tandem with the others to leave your skin feeling nourished, glowing and, most importantly, ready to take on whatever winter has in store. Plus, you can get 15% off your first order when you sign up to the brand's newsletter.

If you haven't seen Damson Madder's recently-launched collection of homewares, it's filled with pieces with just as much flair as its clothes. These placemats are the perfect gift for anyone you know who loves a good tablescape – and they're under £30, too. They're made from a really lovely 100% organic cotton and they're available in leopard print, too, if that's more their style.

I have several pieces of jewellery from Loveness Lee and I really do receive compliments every time I wear them. This necklace allows you to give something with a personal touch – choose the letter you want in gold or silver, each on an adjustable 14”-18" chain. Every piece is handcrafted, making them feel completely individual and like a real treasure that they can keep forever.

Best make-up gift for women

This beauty gift set isn't just filled with some of Dior's best make-up, the gold pouch – embossed with the Dior logo – is so good, lots of women on TikTok have been using it as a handbag. That means you're basically getting a Dior clutch, plus the ultimate beauty essentials, for less than £90. Whomever you give this to is very lucky indeed.

Read our full review of the Dior gift set, written by Rachael Martin, beauty editor, here.

The gift set includes:
- Dior Addict Lip Glow, 3,2 g.
- Dior Le Baume, 50 ml.
- Dior gold pouch

Ruuby is one of the best discoveries I've made, as you can book any beauty treatment in the comfort of your own home. Whether you're looking for a massage, manicure or make-up, Ruuby will send a skilled professional to your door with just the tap of the app. So, what better present to give for Christmas, considering you can pick a voucher for any price, starting at £10? You can even select vouchers for specific treatments if you know your friend is a regular pedi kind of girl.

Rixo has such a lovely selection of jewellery, most of which have vintage vibes and look like the sort of thing your very stylish friend found at a cool market somewhere. These glorious shell earrings would make such a lovely gift – they're lightweight, so comfortable enough to wear all day, plus they look far more expensive than they are. You'll be incredibly popular if you give these to your favourite person.

Say hello to the Shark Cryoglow Under-Eye Cooling LED Mask, the ultimate player in the fight against tired eyes and lacklustre skin. This chic gadget, available in a sleek Blue Frost finish, isn’t just about looks; it’s packed with game-changing tech. Think cryogenic cooling to de-puff and LED light therapy to tackle fine lines and pesky blemishes, all in one. Whether it’s late nights, long flights, or life in general, this innovative mask delivers a spa-like transformation at home. Pop it on, let the cooling magic work, and emerge looking bright-eyed, refreshed, and ready to conquer.

Best personalised Christmas gift for women

I was given this locket by my friend a couple of years ago and it remains one of my favourite pieces of jewellery. As far as personalised items go, it doesn't get better than a locket – not only can you add the photograph you'd like inside, you can also opt to have it engraved with a meaningful message of your choice. It's a very special present that will be treasured forever.

I don't know about you but I'm always on the lookout for things for my mum which I know she'll love but hasn't necessarily seen before (I like the art of surprise). I try to look for more under-the-radar brands, therefore, which offer high quality pieces that won't break the bank. Leem is one such brand – it makes some really stand-out clothes which look far more expensive than they are, and they're stylish without feeling too 'fashion'. This shirt is so lovely – the colour is beautiful, the fit is flattering and the oversized sleeves give it an edge. The perfect present.

Best Christmas pyjama set for women

sleeper pyjamas
Price: $187 (was £374)

www.net-a-porter.com

While cosy pyjamas are all well and good, why not give the gift of PJs which can be worn to a party just as easily as they can be worn at home on the sofa? Sleeper is well known for its nightwear-as-daywear (I've interviewed the founders about the secret to their success) and these glamorous pyjamas are exactly the sort of thing you want to wear at Christmas, without sacrificing style. It's the easy way to dress up while still clinging to the comfort of an elasticated waist – what better gift could you give?

I was given a pair of UGG boots for Christmas last year and, while I hadn't thought of myself as a fan since about 2005, I could not be happier with my cosy feet. For this reason, I do think it's worth considering them for any great woman in your life – she, too, deserves warm toes. The mini pair is the most wearable, in my opinion – not too short, not too long – and they double up as snow boots when we get more extreme weather.

In case you missed it, this Acne Studios scarf is the accessory every well-dressed person has been wearing since the weather turned. You can read why here, where Julia Harvey, our shopping editor, explains just why it's so timeless. Buy this for the fashionable woman you know and love – she'll absolutely love it.

Best foodie gift for women

This is the ultimate Christmas hamper, packed with delicious treats that anyone would find it difficult to resist. From a bottle of Fortnum's Claret to luxury coffee, Christmas biscuits and a really yummy fig preserve (I can't get enough), everything is housed in one of F&M's iconic wicker hampers, making for an indulgent gift for anyone you love.

Included:
1 x Fortnum’s Claret, Château le Bedat, 75cl
1 x Fortnum's Christmas Tea Biscuits, 120g
1 x Christmas Peppermint Bark, 150g
1 x Christmas Black Tea, 200g
1 x Christmas Blend Ground Coffee Tin, 250g
1 x Christmas Figgy Preserve, 200g
1 x Small Wicker Basket

If you're looking for a smaller gift to give someone you love, I don't think you can go wrong with stylish candles. They're not the sort of thing people spend their own money on and, as with this pair from H&M, they're more stylish than ever before. The green is Christmassy enough without feeling too novelty, or they're also available in white and red.

Best lingerie gift for women

The gift of great pants is, in my experience, always a winner. I've often given my friends underwear from brands I've tried and loved because, as we all know, finding really comfortable styles which are also genuinely nice can be tricky. These super-soft polka dot briefs have extra stretch in them for maximum comfort, making for a very clever gift indeed.

astrid and miyu cracker
Price: $41 (was £55)

www.astridandmiyu.com

For the woman in your life with the excellent ear stack, give her this elegant gift set from Astrid & Miyu, containing a pretty pair of Cosmic studs made from 18k gold plated recycled sterling silver with cubic zirconia stones. Encased in a lovely cracker, there's also an affirmation card included for a sweet personal touch.

A true show-stopper of a gift, Cartier's Love ring is made from 100% 18ct yellow gold and presented in the iconic red Cartier box. With the Cartier logo engraved all the way round, this is a wear-forever present that won't ever be forgotten.

Best beauty tech gift for women

This Christmas, why not give the gift of perfect hair? This five-piece set includes two Fusion attachments and three air styling attachments. There's the Wet-or-Dry Fusion Straightener which simultaneously dries and straightens wet hair with no heat damage. Then there's the Wet-or-Dry Fusion Brush which brings bounce and shine to both wet and dry hair for the ultimate blow-out. There's also Auto-Wrap Curlers (for curls) the Styling Concentrator (sleek, straight styles) and the Curl-Defining Diffuser to lift & define natural curls.

m&s dressing gown
Price: $30.40 (was £38)

www.marksandspencer.com

From Marks and Spencer's long-running collab with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, this satin dressing gown feels like a really luxurious present, which is somehow under £40. Beautiful nightwear is a great present for any woman you know, and this wrap even comes with matching pyjamas, giving you an idea for their birthday next year, too.

Best experience gift for women

What do you give the girl who has everything? Well, a relaxing spa break comes to mind. These vouchers are such a great gift – you can choose the amount (from £50) that you'd like to give, which can then be easily redeemed online at any of the listed spas, located all over the UK. From a budget-friendly spa day to a luxurious weekend away, you can choose based on your specific location and go from there. Prices also start at just £47, so you don't have to spend a fortune, either.

I have a collection of Ichendorf's glasses and always receive compliments from guests. This set of six wine glasses is such a fab present – they're beautiful and practical, which is not an easy combination to find. Whimsical without straying into tacky territory, I can't think of any woman I know who wouldn't want these for Christmas.

Best skincare gift for women

If you haven't tried 111SKIN's Cryo De-Puffing masks before, you're in for a treat. In this gift set, you can expect said masks (which really do relieve puffiness and make skin feel incredible), as well as the eye masks (brilliant to put on while you're getting ready for a night out) and a pair of cryo sculpting globes. In short, this is all you need to get the best skin of your life, which will be firmer, super-glowy and radiant after using this kit. While I am including this gift set because I highly recommend it, I'm also vaguely hoping that someone who loves me will see this and buy it for me for Christmas. It really is that good.

Included:
1 x  Cryo De-Puffing Eye Mask
1 x Cryo De-Puffing Facial Mask
1 x Pair of Cryo Sculpting Globes

If you haven't yet tried &Daughter's knitwear, trust me when I say it's some of the best on the market. Anyone receiving this jumper will undoubtedly agree, thanks to the Scottish-spun extra-soft lambswool, in a perfectly slouchy fit. A cable knit is something that will stay in a wardrobe forever, so this makes for a unique and special present.

anthropologie cocktail shaker
Price: $28 (was £36)
https://redirect.viglink.com?key=3e7df617f02211af20ba9781fe3e0a60&prodOvrd=PCR&opt=false&u=WxFDFBUMHhgRR0UcUF8VDkBfEg5VWF9YA0tQCl1ORVsKR0sEX0JDFF8fRlhdBEtRXwEKTVZRXUsWWwRbBEQMBlgICUQMB1cIFEFYSwRbc3wuR01OSFRbNmckfiV3YSE%3D&x=v1&prdId=9552560756&barcode=A1UDVFYOBAZVCQYBBQg%3D

Bring cocktail hour to them with this stylish cocktail shaker, which is amazing quality for just £36. Plus, it comes with different matching items, from champagne flutes to an ice bucket, so you can keep adding to their collection for many occasions to come, making your gift-giving life much easier.

The gift of '90s Chanel is nothing short of a Christmas miracle – this bag is a modern heirloom waiting to happen. If you're looking for a luxury gift that really says 'I love you', then this is it. It's pre-loved but in great condition and is one of the rarer styles you'll find. This is at the top of my Christmas list, for anyone who's wondering...

Best jewellery gift for women

The reason I'm including this necklace in the mix is that I saw it on a very stylish woman I know recently and couldn't believe how chic it looked just with a white T-shirt and jeans. The quality is amazing, too – you'd expect it to be twice the price. I'd be delighted if I found this waiting for me under the tree.

For any of the homeware-loving women you know, you can't go wrong with Le Creuset. While some of the cookware is expensive (and also heavy, so not easy to ship), this salt and pepper mill set is an affordable way to give the gift of this famous brand. There are lots of different colours available, so you can make sure you match their decor, and they're really easy to refill, too.

Another great gift for fashion fans, this belt can be worn both ways, giving two accessories for the price of one. Made of smooth calfskin with Loewe's distinctive logo in gold, this present will ensure you're their favourite person for years to come.

When I see products promising to give plumper lips in any sense, I'm immediately skeptical. Having tried La Mer's Lip Volumizer, however, I do believe in miracles. Well, perhaps not miracles but certainly a really great lip product which I believe everyone deserves for Christmas this year. Just like the brand's famous cream, this is enriched with the label's legendary patented Miracle Broth™ elixir made from a blend of minerals, vitamins and Sea Kelp. While I'm not suggesting lips suddenly look bigger, it does make them feel more nourished than ever and softens lines at the same time.

The gift of diamonds is not exactly something which seems accessible to most of us but, thanks to Pandora's lab-grown range of sparkling stones, now it is. These earrings are made of solid sterling silver, each set with a 0.10 carat lab-grown diamond. Sustainable, beautiful and something that will really put a smile of her face.

anissa kermiche vase
Price: $175 (was £350)

www.net-a-porter.com

I bought this as a vase for my mum and it went down a storm. Anissa Kermiche's designs are artistic and playful all at once and this jug can be used for flowers or just a a lovely objet on a coffee table. It's also available in pink or white. Even better? There's currently 50% off the blue and pink styles.

Best clothing gift for women

There's a reason this blazer has been selling so quickly – it is the perfect jacket, particularly for party season. It's stylish, flattering and made in an inclusive range of sizes (UK 4-22) and it will look great over an LBD or a pair of jeans. It's also the kind of thing someone wouldn't necessarily buy for themselves – they might feel they have to prioritise more practical outerwear instead. So, this is the perfect opportunity for you to provide something chic, thoughtful and, crucially, something you can ask to borrow at any given time.

This striking printed blanket from Mango has designer vibes but is less than £60. It can be thrown over a sofa, draped over the end of a bed or simply folded away for those moments when it's needed. Either way, your house-proud friend will absolutely love it.

If you've seen these shoes all over social media, it's because they really are as comfortable as they look. I've been wearing mine with everything, leading to most of my friends asking where to get them. This got me thinking – clearly they'd be the perfect present for Christmas. There are lots of different colours and styles to choose from, but I've found that this combination goes with everything I own.

For your elegant friend or family member who eschews classic PJs in favour of something altogether more fabulous, this nightdress will be their favourite present of all. If only If's nightwear is even lovlier in person – the cotton is of the highest quality and the slightly oversized fit means that it's so comfortable to wear to bed.

For a truly spectacular present, Missoma's jewellery advent calendar is it. Not just for Christmas, this beautiful gift is designed to be used all-year-round as a sustainable alternative. The keepsake jewellery box is set across two levels with a large mirror, along with 12 gift boxes numbered in gold foil – handcrafted from FSC-certified materials. It contains 12 of the brand's best selling gold pieces, worth a total of £827. There are two sizes to choose from, each based on bracelet length, so make sure you have an idea of their size before you buy.

What's included:
1. Mini Helical Hoop Earrings - £55
2. Classic Pave Huggies -£79
3. Prism Stud Earrings - £59
4. Mini Pave Spike Charm Hoop Earrings - £79
5. Bar Stud Earrings - £45
6. Lucy Williams Mini Orb Ear Cuff - £35
7. Orb Chain Bracelet - £59
8. Classic Mini Paperclip Chain Bracelet - £79
9. Double Rope Bracelet - £85
10. Beaded Stone Pendant Necklace - £98
11. Mini Star Ridge Pendant Necklace - £89
12. Twisted Chain Choker - £65

Julia Harvey, Grazia's shopping editor, first introduced me to this jumper. Not only does she own it (and love it, as you can read here), she also recommends it as an ideal Christmas gift. 'This gets away with acting as a Christmas jumper, without being naff, but you can wear it way beyond the festive season. I'm buying this for several of my friends, and I'll just have to hope we don't all wear it at the same time!'

Best haircare gift for women

Silke's products are some of the best hair products I've tried, from its silk scrunchies to its pillowcases. Now, it has launched this heatless curler and, let me tell you, it's a dream. It's easy to use, comfortable to wear at night (you can keep it in for 4-8 hours but I found the best results came after wearing overnight) and gives really great results. If you want tighter curls, you simply wrap smaller sections of hair more closely together or, for loose waves, wrap hair more loosely around the curler. It provides big, bouncy curls without any worry of damage. Happy Christmas, indeed.

Your favourite fashion-obsessed woman will never stop thanking you if she receives a slice of The Row for Christmas and it doesn't get much better than the Bindle bag. Crafter from buttery-soft leather, the shape is practical and stylish and it will easily fit all of her essentials. She'll keep this forever, too, making it a real investment.

I know, I know – socks hardly sound like an exciting idea for a Christmas present. But when they're made by O Pioneers, they suddenly become a very good option indeed. Everything this independent label creates has such a sense of spirit, largely because the founders really care about how – and where – everything is made. These socks are produced in partnership with an independent sock company based in Leicester and you can choose between different British colloquialisms. They'll add a sense of irreverence to any outfit.

I know skincare can be a gamble when you're buying for others but, I have to say, anything from QMS will be one of the best presents you could give this Christmas. I have extremely sensitive skin, so I have to be very selective when it comes to the products I use but when I found this brand, my skin went from OK to the best it had ever been. This collagen set is genuinely incredible – it's developed to minimise the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin textures, and it really does work. The person who receives this for Christmas is luckier than they can even imagine...

Best handbag Christmas gift for women

I've written about the appeal of Coach's Tabby bag in the past, and the fact it's owned by Emily Ratajkowski, Jennifer Lopez and Elle Fanning, to name but a few celebrity fans. A modern take on an archival design from the '70s, this quilted bag is timeless, plus it can be worn in multiple ways including cross-body. It's clearly a very generous gift, but it's one which will never go out of style.

What is Christmas, really, without champagne? I was lucky enough to try this a couple of years ago and can safely say it's now one of my all-time favourites. Not only is it delicious, though, the champagne is cased in this beautiful bottle, making for a really special gift.

celeste starre ear cuff
Price: $42 (was £60)

celestestarre.com

This 18k recycled gold plated ear cuff with rainbow stones is an unexpected but stunning piece of jewellery – and it won't cost the earth, either. Give it to the woman you know who thinks more is more when it comes to jewels.

My friends bought me this bag for my birthday, actually, as they knew how much I loved it. But I can't think of a better time than Christmas to give this glorious clutch, which will become your ultimate party bag for years to come (trust me). I've taken mine to the Fashion Awards, weddings, birthday parties (other than my own) and Christmas 'dos and I always collect compliments every time.

When is a hair clip not just a hair clip? When it's made by Prada, of course. I don't know if I really need to explain why this is a dreamy choice for a Christmas present – it's in a irresistible shade of purple velvet on a French barrette fastening with Prada's iconic logo on an enamel triangle in the middle. This is essentially akin to giving the gift of a life free of bad hair days.

One of the best items I've ever been given at Christmas was this Smythson jewellery box. It's certainly not something I'd ever buy for myself (the art of a great gift) and it turned out to be the essential item I never knew I needed. Made from beautiful leather, it's super-chic and looks great on any shelf or dressing table and, while it's compact enough to fit into smaller spaces, it actually has a lot of room for all of your jewellery inside. Before this box, I ended up losing so many earrings, necklaces and bracelets without anywhere proper to put them. Now, they're organised inside this elegant case.

We've all got that person in our lives who loves games and, thanks to Ettinger, now they can enjoy them anywhere – and in style, too. Crafted from beautiful Capra leather, this case holds two decks of cards, featuring exquisite stitching and glorious design details. Each case comes with the two decks of cards, as well as a booklet of the best card games, so your lucky recipient will never be bored again.

Best candle gift for women

If you think a candle is a cop-out of a present, you haven't been in the presence of a Diptyque candle. These would always be on my Christmas list – not only are they beautiful to look at, they also smell so delicious, you'll wish you had one for every room of the house. This one smells like 'a unique Mediterranean landscape under a midday sun' or, in other words, like you're on holiday. This slightly bigger size makes for a present everyone you know would love to receive – trust me.

A truly beautiful pair of gloves will last forever, particularly when they're made as well as this. There are many different sizes available, so they really feel like a bespoke creation. Available in grey (the forest green has already sold out) they'd be a special gift for any stylish woman you know. They're super-soft and will keep your hands toasty warm.

These quirky earrings make for a present that looks as though you've spent hours in an incredible antiques shop, only to find a real treasure. Made from 21ct gold plated recycled brass, they come in a sustainable jewellery box that's ready to give to your favourite woman.

While the younger generation may keep their entire life on their phones, I have found that a beautiful purse still makes for a perfect gift for those who still prefer to keep some things analogue. You can't go wrong with Mulberry's wallet, which is made of the softest leather and features the brand's famous gold lock. It has enough room for cards, cash and maybe even a picture of you – she'll be that grateful.

Available in eight different colours, Ganni's beanie is one of the best I've tried. That's because it's soft, with the perfect shape (not too oversized so that there's lots of excess material at the top). Plus, the shade range is great and it's under £90.

There's bottles of gin and then there's Malfy's gin in collaboration with Missoni. Not only is this presented in the most stylish bottle (and gift box), I can attest to the fact that it's also delicious. For anyone you know who loves a G&T, this will transport them straight to the Amalfi coast.

For any fashion fans you know, this Vivienne Westwood necklace is guaranteed to impress. The glass-based Swarovski pearls are secured with an adjustable clasp fastening, while the famous Orb motif is set with sparkling cubic zirconia crystals. Daintier than the pearl choker that everyone was wearing at one point this is a very pretty present that will make her day.

I saw someone wearing this combo by day and thought it was one of the chicest outfits I'd seen in some time. That's the beauty of this set – you could wear it together as a stylish everyday option or try the shirt with jeans and the trousers with an oversized knit. Either way, at the end of the day, you'll save time by being ready for bed. Imagine giving that gift for Christmas – it's basically priceless.

havana club rum
Price: $21
https://redirect.viglink.com?u=WxFDFBUMHhgRR0UcRlAIEkBfEQQXVFdcSQBQCl1ORkEKUxEFQkIYDlFEU19QTAVeRQBMDhpBVAcXHgpcBRtXBEUPS0REWkkHAgcIAlVLAwBSUw0CFQBWVQFRBg%3D%3D&key=3e7df617f02211af20ba9781fe3e0a60&prodOvrd=PCR&opt=false&x=v1&prdId=10989095746&barcode=A10CVFcHAAdWCAIGAgg%3D

Celebrity jewellery designer Jonathan Raksha, who has created pieces for Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and Kylie Jenner, has designed a limited edition bottle of Havana Club rum, just in time for Christmas. Not only will you be giving the gift of delicious drinks this festive season, you'll also be giving an object created by a world-famous designer. Bonus.

Really cosy slippers which look chic, too, are hard to come by. Thankfully, The White Company has made life easier with these super-cute ballet slippers, which transcend age to be the perfect present for just about anyone you know. While they look expensive, they're actually under £40, and they have an adjustable strap across the front.

For the tea lover you know and love, treat them to Anya Hindmarch's playful teapot, featuring the designer's famous eyes motif. Made of white bone china, this is presented in a lovely gift box and will upgrade any kitchen decor immediately.

I once bought a Coco Fennell dress for my sister and she lost her mind with excitement. This is largely because the fit is fantastic – Fennell makes clothes that really look good and, more importantly, make you feel great. Her playful, feminine designs will be a wonderful surprise for your favourite person to open this Christmas – this celestial dress is one of the best styles, plus you can't go wrong with black.

whistles bag
Price: $95 (was £135)

www.whistles.com

Sometimes, the present you want to give just needs to be joyful, spirited and not necessarily prioritising practicality. This Whistles bag is just that – it's sparkly, fun and will make its recipient instantly more cheerful. With a popper closure, chunky padded strap and all-over crystal embellishment, it's the perfect party bag that anyone would be excited to unwrap this Christmas.

If you really want to show someone you care, give them the comfiest slippers in the world. These fuzzy mules will even make January seem cosy, which is no mean feat. I bought these for my mum last Christmas and she loves them so much, she's worn them every day. She says they're really comfortable, warm and easy to walk in, unlike some mule-style slippers.
