A reliable indicator that a present will be a complete keeper? It’s a piece that you don’t actually want to part with.

When searching for fool-proof presents, this curated list of must-haves — from a skin-transforming microcurrent device and designer-collab mule to a chic hand cream she’ll dive into right away — is a good place to start. Read on for our favourite unique gifts for women you’ll also wish for yourself.

Crown Affair The Comb No. 002

It’s just a comb, you say. But to us, this hand-carved tortoiseshell tool (that actually does its detangling job beautifully) is perfect. Get it for the girl whose beauty routine means everything to her.

Sabrina Carpenter Short n’ Sweet LP Vinyl

One of the year’s most iconic albums deserves the prominence (and physical permanence) of the vinyl treatment. It’s a must for the person who still can’t stop talking about the Short n’ Sweet Tour, because trust us, “Taste” sounds even better on a turntable.

Bvlgari Tubogas 18k Yellow Gold Bracelet

Spotted: something gilded for the discerning jewelry collector. Sure, the price tag is a touch steep, but a gold bracelet as good as Bvlgari’s Tubogas will last a lifetime and feel contemporary all those years, too.

Sorel x Proenza Schouler Caribou Mule

Two of our fashion favourites — footwear brand Sorel and original cool-girl label Proenza Schouler — have come together to make what’s quickly becoming the mule of the season. Snag your most stylish friend a pair before they sell out!

NARS Mini Powermatte Lip Duo

Beauty insiders (and your most makeup-obsessed loved ones) know that NARS’ matte formulas actually deliver on that hyper-pigmented, transfer-proof promise. In this gilded gift set, two coordinating shades — the chestnut rose-hued American Woman to line your lips and dusty rose Dolce Vita to fill them in — offer major matte impact.

NuFACE MINI+ Starter Kit

Make a major contribution to her self-care regimen with this mini (but equally powerful) version of the NuFACE device. The microcurrent treatment works to lift, sculpt and contour the skin and the results are straight up irresistible. Don’t be surprised if her new favourite hobby becomes NuFACE-ing while catching up on Housewives.

L’Occitane Combawa Shea Butter Hand Cream

A gift she’s guaranteed to put to immediate use? One of L’Occitane’s ultra-nourishing hand and cuticle creams. This vegan formula goes heavy on skin-softening shea butter and comes with a uniquely intoxicating scent of combawa lime, musk and hazelnut.

Tiffany & Co. Bone Ring

Few designs are as iconic as Elsa Peretti’s Bone Cuff for Tiffany’s, a long-standing motif that remains just as covetable today as it first did in 1970. This 18k yellow gold ring iteration has that same sensuous shape just in a more everyday application. Consider it one of our top picks for unique gifts for women.

Chanel Enchanted Night Eyeshadow and Blush Palette

Four punchy, limited-edition hues, endless applications to experiment with. That’s the promise of Chanel’s aurora borealis-inspired palette designed to be used across both the eyes and the cheeks. A bold gifting choice for the audacious among us.

Fendi Light Blue Leather Peekaboo Soft Medium Bag

A highly sought-after handbag will always yield an appreciative post-unwrapping reaction. Our pick this holiday season? Fendi’s new Peekaboo Soft, the house’s latest silhouette that accentuates the original’s “smile” exterior.

Loro Piana Pastore Hat

She’s got an accessory drawer full of toques, but nothing like Loro Piana’s Pastore, a structured sailor hat weaved from super-soft cashmere. Worn with a light-coloured wool coat, it finds a beautiful balance of whimsical and wearable.
