Some women are just impossible to shop for. Either they already own everything, or their interests are all over the place, and you don’t know where to even start. It’s a good thing Christmas is still a month away, so you’ve got plenty of time to find something she’ll genuinely love. And since you need all the help you can get, we’ve rounded up thoughtful, stylish picks for every kind of woman. These are the gifts she’ll not only appreciate, but actually use long after the holidays are over.
If she’s the type who lives inside her own head (in the best way), a journal is more than a gift. It’s basically therapy. “Thought daughters” love to write things down to make sense of the chaos, so treat her to a beautiful Louise Carmen-style leather notebook. Local brands like Cada Dia, Sting & Snout Bindery, and Grotto and Archive make stunning handcrafted options. And if she’s extra special, you can even make her a DIY leather journal yourself.
Never underestimate the power of good underwear and shapewear. Trust us, the women in your life will want to get their hands on SOLA’s limited-edition Cherry shapewear collection dropping soon. Think Sculpting Strapless and Plunging Maxi Dress, plus their Sculpting Classic and Strapless Bodysuit—pieces that make anyone feel snatched without trying.
For everyday essentials, women who appreciate style and comfort inside out will love Maidenform’s Seamless Foam Wireless Bra. It offers soft foam cups and a lightly lined, ribbed bottom for natural shaping. You can also consider Maidenform’s Everyday Luxe Wireless T-Shirt Bra, which combines smooth, stretch foam cups with convertible straps for a racerback look.
Even girls who “don’t really wear makeup” have at least one holy grail item. If you’re going big, you can’t go wrong with cult favorites: Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder, Clinique Black Honey, Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Blush, and Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Primer. Those are a few items any woman would love in her arsenal.
Local picks also hit the sweet spot. Check out Strokes for tools and brushes, SPOT Contact Lens for chic lenses, and Vice for long-lasting but affordable blushes. And if she likes cute anik-aniks, Sunnies Face’s Holiday Mini Duo, a combo of the Sunnies Lip Tracer and Lip Glaze in collectible minis, and the adorable Issy Fat Gloss Key Charm will have her loving you forever.
Skincare girlies are easy to please—just contribute to their stash and they’ll adore you forever. Everyone’s raving about The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% Toner, so surprise her with a bottle and you’re instantly the favorite. Level up her skincare game with Frankly’s Retinol Wrinkle Repair Cream 0.1 or the forever-viral Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun sunscreen. Bonus points if you treat her to a night of relaxation and you do all the skincare steps together.
You can’t go wrong with a fresh pair. Renegade Folk is always a safe (and stylish) choice—whether it’s their iconic Chunky Mules, the cushy Lil Bud Soft Insoles, or the low-effort Together Slides. For office girlies, Oak the Label’s Meja Caviar in genuine leather is chef’s kiss. And if she’s into color, Andante x Anthill’s Step-In Mules make any outfit instantly happier.
The Paper Bunny’s Holiday Glimmers collection is dripping with festive shine—especially the Puffer Swing, which comes in chic, party-ready colors. Their Midi Arc is also back in Sandstone, a PH-exclusive. Doughnut Bags’ Gossamer series (and its Tiny dumpling sibling) is a lightweight, trendy pick, while TikTok-favorite Zala Bags make the cutest everyday companions. Really, there are too many options for stylish bags out there. You can even explore TikTok shop for affordable options.
If she loves a good itinerary, get her packing cubes that make her look like she has her life together. BASH’s cubes come in cute colors and sizes that fit everything from maletas to backpacks. Their luggage covers are also a must for airport warriors. And to survive all the pasalubong shopping, a Shupatto foldable shopping bag is the travel hack she never knew she needed.
Fur moms deserve love too—and so do their pets. The Nina Ottosson Multi Lickin’ Layers Puzzle Feeder keeps dogs busy with over 100 treat compartments (perfect for fast eaters and smart pups). A cozy ortho dog bed from Pet Express adds comfort to their space. And for stylish walks, The Paper Bunny has ultra-cute pet collars and poo bag charms. Beyond the Vines’ Contrast Pet Leash also comes in bright, happy colors that make any dog walk instantly cuter.
