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.
