The 75 best gifts for her (that won't feel like an afterthought)
Gift ideas for women are never an afterthought. Rather, the very best gifts for her are a carefully-considered purchase. One that takes time and care. She’ll undoubtedly appreciate whatever you lovingly wrap up for her, of course, but whether you’re shopping for your wife, girlfriend, mum, best friend, sister, auntie, mother-in-law, or grandma, it’s worth going all-out with something that won’t be followed by a request for the receipt. Especially with Valentine's Day just a few days away.
That's where our gift to you comes in: GLAMOUR's ultimate guide to the best gifts for women. We've spoken to our favourite brands and scoured every bestseller category to curate the ultimate gift guide for her. Even if you think she already has everything.

2. Thoughtful Gifts For Women
Clifton Luggage Set in Mineral
Suitcases are one of those things we don't necessarily treat ourselves to unless we absolutely need one, and even then we tend to go for whatever is most affordable at the time. Enter: Antler, the affordable but extremely well-made and hard-wearing luggage brand. The 'Clifton' set is a particular crowd pleaser, but if three cases is two too many then they also come individually…
3. Bluetooth Headphones For Her
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
A bit of a ‘can’t go wrong' choice, but they're safe for a reason and, as earbuds go, AirPods Pro are the ones that will be most likely to impress. Why not go the extra mile and treat her to a customisable case to go with them?
