How we chose the best gifts for women
Personal experience: The writer of this article is female and has two sisters and lots of female friends to buy for. She is also quite the shopaholic herself and many people - HELLO! colleagues included - come to her for help with gift giving (especially the men in the office!). We also consulted a personal shopper for her helpful insights.
Price: This gift edit needs to suit all budgets, especially with the cost of living.
Variety: We want this edit to have something that suits everyone with lots of different interests.
Reviews: While we've tried to include things we have personally tried where possible, we've also used highly reviewed products from personal shoppers.
Apple is the talk of the town with the all-new MacBook Neo - it features a durable aluminium design, a stunning 13-inch liquid retina display, the power of Apple silicon, and all-day battery life. Oh, and it comes in an array of gorgeous colours - blush, indigo, silver, and a fresh new citrus.
In case you hadn't heard, Hotel Chocolat has revamped the iconic Velvetiser and this is the ultimate gift. Not only is it a little more chic, it creates hot and cold barista-grade drinking chocolate at the touch of a button. Experience velvet-smooth results, unrivalled chocolate crema and satisfying cacao depth in every sip I use this all year round and I'm stunned every time I use it because yes, the hot chocolate really is that delicious. I can recommend the Salted Caramel flavour! It's a great gift for someone like your mother-in-law - someone you want to keep sweet.
Pommery is the perfect tipple to gift to the special woman in your life. The rosé is based on Chardonnay and uses Pinot Noir from the exceptional Bouzy Grand Cru.
The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x will be a big hit in 2026, and why wouldn't it be?! And have you seen the new colour-way? The Jasper Plum shade is just stunning.
I think it makes a great gift because it's fun to play with, and the box is full of so many treats for you to experiment with.
If you're after a gift for the woman in your life, you can't go wrong with a gorgeous fragrant gift set. Miss Dior is a popular choice and this gift set is ever so pretty.
Dior pairs a 50 ml bottle of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet with Dior Addict Lip Glow in a limited-edition couture set. Adorned with the message 'Je vous adore' (I adore you), the case becomes a true declaration of love.
I predict this will be on a lot of wish lists! Shark Beauty entered the LED Face Mask chat back in 2024 and it's the UK’s first LED light therapy mask to offer under-eye cooling technology. Genius or what?!
Developed with dermatologists, the under-eye cooling helps soothe, depuff and tighten under-eyes and the LED routines help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
If the woman in your life is a real skincare lover, she'll love this ELEMIS gift from QVC. Begin with the energising gel cleanser, follow with the revitalising toning mist, then layer the advanced serum and moisturising Pro-Collagen Marine Cream for a daily ritual that sends you to the spa.
My favourite Elemis product is inside - the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. It's a beauty icon, and designed to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and increase hydration, leaving your skin feeling smoother and firmer.

The Oura Ring 4 unlocks insights into your sleep, activity, stress, heart health, and so much more. This will be a super popular gift for women this year, as the popularity of the Oura ring is sky-rocketing. I'm excited by the new petal pink shade but you can choose from midnight blue, tide grey, cloud white and the more traditional silver, gold and black.
Know someone who loves padel? She'll be so excited with this gift - her very own stylish racket. Beautifully engineered for performance and style, this lightweight women’s padel racket combines a 100% carbon frame, 3K carbon surface, and teardrop shape to deliver the perfect blend of control and comfort.

Ninja's Luxe Café Premier is the ultimate bean-to-cup coffee machine that helps you make barista-quality drinks in minutes. This is the kind of coffee machine that takes the guesswork out of coffee and includes a built-in grinder for extra convenience. What's more, this versatile machine includes built-in storage solutions.
The perfect gift for the makeup lover in your life who is on the go. Thanks to a nifty removable clear pouch, this vanity case is ideal for at home and on the move. The rigid exterior keeps everything in place and secure and inside, there are internal dividers to help you organise and a wipeable lining.
A watch is a popular gift for a woman, and you can't go wrong with this divine watch from Sif Jakobs. The Luciana style features sapphire glass and silver sunray dial, decorated with white zirconia.
I'm a big fan of sleepwear for gifting, and this satin pyjama set looks extremely luxe. This long-sleeve shirt and wide-leg trouser set is scattered with playful hand drawn lobsters and tiny hearts in blush pink and red.
If you haven't heard of OnePlus before, it's an android phone brand that has a cult following among the tech-savvy among us for its over-achievements in so many of the key areas that phones require - from powerful operating systems, to top-notch cameras, exceptional battery life and super fast screen refresh (good movie watching experience for you and I).
Up until now it's had more of a male following but I have a feeling this new ultraviolet colourway is likely to change all that. A stunning pastel lilac finish with a matt-satin texture, this is a phone that not only performs well and takes the best photographs, it also looks beautiful too.
Make Mother's Day extra special by sending The Ultimate Mother's Day Afternoon Tea. This scrumptious gift includes plain scones to enjoy with a sweet collection strawberry and champagne jam, cornish clotted cream and collection darjeeling tea. Deck out the table with the afternoon tea cake selection with the iced fondant fancies, topped off with a glass of our iconic Delacourt Champagne to toast with.
Trinny Woodall loves her Ziip Halo, Margot Robbie's a fan, too! This is the skincare device making waves on social media - and the results speak for themselves. The Ziip Halo is all about reducing wrinkles and fine lines, boosting plumpness and firmness, improving acne and skin tone. One HELLO! staffer puts it to the test, and the verdict is in.
If you're looking for a gift, you can't go wrong with a spring bouquet. Carnations, tulips, rosemary and solidago are all popular around this time of year.
If you're on the lookout for the perfect necklace for the woman in your life in 2026, you really can't go wrong with an initial necklace. On a dainty chain, this has a crystal charm with the initial of your choice on it.

Editor Verdict: What are the best gifts for women?
This was a fun edit to create and I asked lots of colleagues, friends and family members for their input. I wanted this to be a really easy list to go through to inspire. I love everything on this list, but I think the NEW Velvetiser will be super popular in 2026. You can't go wrong with PJs, a dressing gown or slippers - I predict the UGG Tas slippers will still reign supreme. I also predict the Shark LED Face Mask will be a runaway hit for women this year as well.

Top tips for buying a woman a gift - according to a personal shopper
Personalisation: "Something personalised is a great way to show you’ve actually put some thought into the gift. Etsy is brilliant for this as and you’ll be supporting smaller businesses with items not as accessible on the high street. However if easier, Marks & Spencer, Emma Bridgewater, Sezane to name but a few also do a range of personalised gifts."
Experiences: "Think of experiences that they would enjoy but never make time to do; a spa day, afternoon tea, zoo keeper experience if they like animals and being outdoors. There are plenty of options on Virgin and Buy a Gift. Or even a subscription to receive something monthly; flowers, a beauty box, magazine."
Interests: "Consider any hobbies that you could use to generate a gift; gardening, sports, cooking. Is there a book, tool or piece of clothing that they are missing or has worn out and they haven’t got round to replacing yet?"
If all else fails: "No matter what anyone says, you can’t go wrong with flowers. Even if you take a supermarket bouquet and re-wrap in some brown paper with rustic ribbons to make it look a touch more special. Don’t forget David Austin do an amazing array of roses – there could be one with their name on it!"
Don’t forget to consider your budget! "Sales Assistants are a great tool for gift ideas but don’t be led by them once you’re in store. If you get carried away you could walk out with her birthday, Christmas and Valentine's gift all wrapped up in one. And just for the record, no one likes a joint occasion gift."
