61 Best Gifts for Women That’ll Arrive Before Christmas
All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.
As Glamour’s shopping team, we’ve tracked the best gifts for women for years (like Santa, we know what she’s asking for) and now that Christmas is literally around the corner, we’ve narrowed our suggestions down to the presents that should arrive by December 25 if you act fast (though we’ve included some very last-minute ideas that can be sent to her inbox immediately). And while time might be ticking, these options are still plenty thoughtful. The key to a special present, we’ve found, is to zero in on little ways to help her upgrade her life and find things she’s not likely to treat herself to—think: a small gift like a meditation journal that’ll encourage her to take five for herself (what all women really want). Shopping for your wife? Go the meaningful route by helping her take a walk down memory lane with a digital frame preloaded with photos of the the two of you. Or, if you really want to wow her with a unique gift, a heated bidet or deck of date-night ideas are some of our favorite ideas (and ship fast). Shopping for someone who has everything? If she’s a beauty girlie, an LED red light therapy device or a Dyson curling iron are two of the most wished-for items this year, but we’ve included lots of gems under $25 as well that’ll delight her just the same.
Everything here has been vetted by Glamour editors who have given and received them, and endorsed by our trusted circle of sisters (real and chosen), so you can bet that these ideas will make her feel special. Now get to shopping, as you’re about out of time!

It’s designed for the person who doesn’t have a ton of time in their day or who finds journaling intimidating.

HigherDose Red Light Therapy Face Mask
We’ve been testing the best LED masks for over a year now since they’re just about the biggest craze in skin care. We were dubious of how expensive they are too, but our reviewers (and the dermatologists we spoke to) confirm that the benefits are legit, and the HigherDose LED red light therapy mask has gotten the highest marks from Glamour senior commerce editor Jenifer Calle. “While it is pricey, I found that the HigherDose LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask is actually worth it,” she says in her review. “I saw results after only two weeks of use—a visibly brighter complexion.”

Pavoi Huggie Earrings
Pavoi is one of the most affordable jewelry brands on the market because of its chic but cheap styles (and now you can shop them on Amazon). These versatile huggie hoops are perpetually popular with our readers. They look like Mejuri dupes and are, wonderfully, under $15.

Owala FreeSip Water Bottle (32 Oz.)
The Owala has risen to the top for the most popular water bottle you can gift this holiday season—it comes in plenty of pretty colors, keeps her drinks cold for hours, and can be sipped either via straw or mouth. Plus, it locks in place (no leaks in her bag!) with a feature that doubles as an easy-carry handle.
- 7/61
La Chatelaine Hand Cream Gift Set
La Chatelaine is a favorite among Glamour editors (and Oprah, who put it on her Favorite Things list one Christmas), because of its ease and high impact. The packaging and fragrances feel high-end, but this is a gift you can buy on Amazon for under $30. (So yes, it makes a great gift for daughters, especially if you waited until the last minute, since it ships quick.)

Best of all, you can buy and email it to her within minutes of purchase—no shipping necessary.

BCTex Coll Velvet House Slippers
These cute, frilly slippers made with an ultra-comfortable memory-foam sole will transform her into a 1940s film starlet padding around her movie trailer.

MonétBeauty Ice Globes
Add a jolt of energy to her morning with a set of TikTok-trending ice globes. The glass globes are weighted with blue liquid and get stored in the fridge or freezer. When rolled along the face, they can decrease puffiness, bring down redness in the skin, and assist with lymphatic drainage. They also just feel good for any worn-out person—like a mini massage that only takes minutes—making it a grab gift for truly any woman.
- 12/61
Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set
One of our favorite last-minute gift ideas, TikTok’s viral Kitsch heatless curling set is adored by Glamour editors and readers alike. Your giftee can wrap her damp hair around the satin headband, secure the ends with scrunchies, and let her strands dry into soft waves. “I like my heatless curlers because the fabric feels luxe, the set is easy to use and comfortable to wear, and it actually does curl my hair and reduce frizz—plus, it’s packable,” says Glamour reader Katherine Howell-Kiser, a graphic designer. And the cute candy-cane spin makes this beauty gift even more special.

“An Aura digital frame was one of the best gifts I’ve given my mom,” Glamour commerce editor Malia Griggs says. “It sits on her piano, and I’m able to upload photos to it via its app, so even though I live far away, I can still surprise my parents with moments from my life without them having to do a thing.” It’s also a fab gift for long-distance couples.

- 26/61

An especially good gift for new moms who really need their beauty sleep, a high-quality silk pillowcase can improve skin and hair, plus it just feels great—and for around $20 a pop on Amazon, you don’t have to send your credit card running for the hills.

The person who permanently runs out of charge—well, on their phone or iPad anyway—actually needs this charger. This Anker charger can cleverly turn into a stand so she can FaceTime or read comfortably while it wirelessly and magnetically charges. It’s small enough to fit in her pocket or purse and can provide up to 17 hours of extended use. “It might not be the sexiest gift, but trust me, it’s the most useful.

Our Place’s viral Always Pan is a modern-day kitchen staple, combining a pan, a pot, and a steamer into one compact body. If she’s the one responsible for washing up after, it also cleans like an absolute dream so she won’t have to worry about spending hours soaking it after she cooks.

Yeti Rambler Wine Tumbler (10 oz.)
If she already owns a stainless steel Yeti tumbler for her car cup holder, she knows the brand’s powers in retaining heat or cold for hours—and will get much use out of this smaller size, which is ideal for holding steaming hot cider or acting as a wine glass.

“Our beauty editor first turned me onto Rare Beauty, from Selena Gomez, after she and the Glamour team put the highlighter to the test on different skin tones, and I’m as enamored as she is now,” says Schwartz. “I’m really bad at doing my own makeup, despite growing up in a hair salon, so what I love about this is how foolproof it is to look a little bit more radiant. Whether you’re shopping for a teen or a woman in her 40s like me, she’ll appreciate a little piece of this buzzy brand.”

It’ll clip to the outside of her purse, gym duffel, you name it, or she could, as the same suggests, wear it around her wrist.
- 44/61
Coach Willow Bucket Bag
If she exudes quiet luxury (or would just like to), this classic bag from one of our favorite designer brands will go with absolutely any outfit, and while it’s still a splurge, we’ve never seen it for this much off before.

The Puma Speedcat.)
