![62 Gifts For Women in 2023 That She Won't Return](https://media.gq.com/photos/653adfb9477bbe00a25925b9/16:9/w_320%2Cc_limit/gfs-gifts-art.jpg)
No need to panic, but the clock's running on the holiday season and you're still trying to figure out the best gifts for women in your life: your wife or girlfriend, your mother, Nana, your sister, your niece, a friend, an in-law. Maybe some (all?!) of the above. We have three cardinal rules for always getting a good gift right, whether it's for Christmas, Hanukkah, a birthday, a promotion, or anything else.
First: Give gifts from her wish list, not her to-do list. Second: Buy from brands and makers whose taste you can trust. This is no time to take a flier. Finally: If you want to make it special, start with what's in your head—then go even bigger.

We've also spent a lot of time looking for the best gifts for women. We've polled friends and GQ staffers, and kept tabs on what we wanted ourselves. And then we sorted through to find the stuff that stands out. Sure, you could hand her a gift card and know she'll end up with something she wants. But what she'd love is a sign that you know her.
From shiny jewels and even shinier tech to top-shelf beauty and cozy knitwear crafted from the softest cashmere and wool, we've rounded up the perfect gifts, the most stylish gifts, the best gifts for women, whatever your budget.
