The best gifts for girlfriends that are at the top of her wishlist in 2024

Sol de Janeiro Gift Set

The Sol de Janeiro takeover of Christmas wishlists has been swift and absolute. It's also warranted: the buttery Bum Bum Cream, lingering body sprays and juicy body washes all thrum with irresistible scents and glossy finishes. This Look Fantastic-exclusive set features them all.

LoveHoney Rose Clitoral Suction Toy

Show her you understand that sex is sometimes a solo endeavour with the viral rose-shaped clirotal suction sex toy, the latest in a long line of top tier sex toys for women.

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask

Hello, Clarice. Yes, the LED light therapy mask is a horror to behold, but the face that it's treating will be even more lovely once she emerges from behind it. A new beauty grail for attacking break outs, redness and — most importantly — the appearance of fine lines, Currentbody's does the job at a snip of the price of some other models.

Lounge Pandora Lingerie

Getting it right again and again, Lounge has come up through Birmingham and taken on the world of gifting with its gorgeous lingerie at relatively affordable prices. I'm in the habit of recommending a new set for each season, so consider this your autumn/winter pick: the fabulously opulent eyelash lace “Pandora”.

The White Company Cashmere-Blend Heart Socks

Cutesy but not saccharine, these cashmere-blend socks are going to sell like hot cakes this December. Petition for The White Company to be renamed Santa's Workshop, anyone?

Monica Vinader Earrings

One of several affordable jewellery brands that we find successfully delight every single time, Monica Vinader typically works with bright golds and shined pearls. Here, the two principles combine in a pair of simple but beautiful keepsake earrings that straddle the lines between day and evening, drop and stud.

I’ve been consulting my gift-giving orb and am convinced that if one thing is going to sell out ahead of Christmas 2024, it’ll be this frankly perfect ribbon ‘n’ bow print fleeced dressing gown by Chelsea Peers.

A Sundae whipped body wash is the stocking filler that everyone wants this year; to see it graduate under the tree as a present “proper”, make it a bundle of cherry and pomegranate body washes and watermelon and berry body butters.

Yes, you are seeing this right: Ichendorf Milano really has made the answer to all of your Christmas gifting quandaries. It’s cute, it’s useful, it’s affordable and it’ll look spectacular on her gift haul videos and piccies.

Even though it came out in 2023, Chappell Roan’s The Rise & Fall of a Midwest Princess goes toe to toe with Charli XCX’s Brat as the most influential pop album of the year. Buy her the record to commemorate the year fun pop made a comeback.

Cutter & Squidge, of biscuit/cake mash-up biskie fame, also deals in more obvious sweet treats. I am, of course, talking about chocolate, which in this hamper finds its way into cocoa spoons, shortbread, popcorn and ‘bark’ (basically a thin block of solid choc).

The speed at which Adanola’s knitwear and sweats sell out make it basically impossible for us to pin down one particular piece. All you need to know is that one of these jumper is impossible to get wrong as a gift: a sweatshirt for the gym girlies and a knit for the fashion followers.

Everyone’s hair gets thirsty, but if your gf has highlights or bleach in her tresses, she’s in even more need of follicular moisturisation. Coco & Eve’s lotions and potions promise deep treatment of frizz and dryness through a specially-formulated masque and elixir.

Anyone who could qualify for the Instagram or TikTok Olympics ought to know — and revere — the easygoing prints available at (influencer-founded) Djerf Avenue. The “Go Slow” fruit set is still among its most wanted.

Perhaps it’s looks frivolous, and perhaps, like the “Quencher” that came before it, it is. But if she’s a fiend for her existing Stanleys, that isn’t going to stop her from wanting a new “Cross Bottle” from the Rolls Royce of water bottles.

Comfortable to the point of the emperor’s new clothes, Intimissimi’s lingerie is a top favourite of mine. Truly, wearing underwear this beautiful without any of the associated discomfort does feel a little like witchcraft…

No more scrabbling around in her makeup bag for a tiny mirror or working out how to travel with a ring light: Beautifect solves both problems while providing a comprehensive place for her to store her cosmetics and tools.

A sort of naughty alternative to the mature stationery of Smythson, Sloane presents vegan snakeskin notebooks with gilded edging, grosgrain ribbons and — its USP — fun verbiage. In this case, halo and horn-inclusive “Good Girls Go To Heaven, Bad Girls Go Everywhere”.

Get the cocktails in without the need to buy an ice tray, shakers, muddlers and so on. How? With Nio Cocktails’ fresh approach to mixed drinks. In this box, find the brand’s best party concoctions — Tommy’s Margarita, Daiquiri, Cosmo, Old Fashioned, Gin Sour and Mai Tai — in slimline recyclable boxes. All you need do is add ice.

Our Place — it of colourful cookware — has created its next viral venture: a miniature oven that does more than just roast and bake. In fact, this tiny little “Wonder” oven also air fries, grills, reheats and even toasts… all while looking like a perfect dolls house prop.

Not content in only creating one of the most popular lip glosses (or “tints” as Rhode calls them), Hailey Bieber’s brand also went ahead and invented one of the most covetable accessories in recent memory. Add her favourite gloss shade for an extra £18.

Loop is partly responsible for the uptick in those wearing ear plugs at gigs and clubs, and now it’s set its sights on its next target: bedrooms. The “Dream” is its first sleeping ear plug, so if you’re a snorer, consider this a “sorry” and a “thank you for putting up with me”.

Skims sells its impossibly comfortable sweat suits in pale pink, heather grey, and — for the very brave — beige. But for the GF who spills cereal down herself at every opportunity she gets? It’s got to be the black set.

Need another candle suggestion? I’ve got you! This ceramic tub (which is eminently reusable when empty, FYI) contains the gourmand scent of vanilla and luxurious notes of cedarwood.

Charlotte Tilbury’s Christmas shop is now open, and it’s just made your shopping errands as simple as “Add to Bag” and “Checkout”. In this duo: the MUA’s Magic Cream for the face and equivalent for the body, both of which are highly sought-after year-round.

There's no beating the classics; not unless you can get your hands on a vintage Porsche tied up in a bow. Twenty perfect red roses presented with sincerity have worked for a hundred years and will likely work for a hundred more.

Samba and Gazelle adjacent, the Adidas Spezial was one of this summer’s shoe obsessions. Bright and pastel colours are still in the mix for winter, and this powder blue version is at the top of my list (and probably hers too).

No one needs a Hello Kitty-themed Fender fuzz pedal. Equally, no one wants the inconvenience of a whole year in which your girlfriend reminds you how you didn’t buy her one.

If you know who Tamlin and Rhysand are by osmosis of your gf's romantasy obsession, or your partner is making it their mission to plough through every one of Penguin's clothbound classics, a personalised embosser is one of the best gifts I can think of. Kindle readers: we guess you're out of luck.

Our Condé Nast sister magazine Glamour knows a thing or two about skincare and makeup. Its newly-launched beauty box, then, is a shoo-in for a beauty loving girlfriend, since the subscription will buy her a quarterly compilation of at least six full-sized products ranging from make-up to skincare, haircare and even fragrances.

TikTok’s underconsumption trend has shown us that we don’t need a cupboard full of matching bone china crockery to be happy. Instead, a smattering of unique pieces that range from the hand-me-down to the affordably standout — such as this Arket flower plate — should be the goal.

Do you talk late into the night about all of the adventures you want to have together? Then you, my friend, need to take a look at putting some of that daydreaming to paper. Studies show that you’re far more likely to Do The Thing if it’s in ink, and while I don't have evidence, I'd wager that’s even more true of a bucket list that’s personalised for the pair of you.

New this year from the luxury fragrance house rumoured to have been a favourite of Queen Elizabeth II and Frank Sinatra: Creed’s sumptuous Queen of Silk. An alluring musky vanilla addition to the Creed portfolio, this eau de parfum dances with vanilla, cedarwood and incense in one of my favourite scents for women of the year.

A barely there chemise in stretch silk, this Coco de Mer design wouldn’t look out of place on Margaret Qualley’s character in The Substance. Coquettish and classic yet daring, its breezy, majority silk construction lends it its airy name: Sylph.

Did you know that every month has a gemstone associated with it? When I found out it made my gifting endeavours a whole lot easier too. Less divisive than a star sign, a birthstone necklace such as this offers a shot of personalisation and a lovely new piece of jewellery while you're at it.

Infused with honey and formulated from an old family recipe, Gisou’s hair oils have gotten highly popular among people with long hair they work hard to keep in good condition. While there are hair masks and perfumes to play with as well, the original oil in its Parisian bottle is just the ticket all on its own.

The heart ring: a styling stalwart in all sorts of genre and sub-genre. From the girlie (we recommend Missoma) to the Gothic (The Great Frog), there's a type for everyone. For the vintage, book-loving woman of elegance: this “Electric Love” piece by Rachel Jackson.

Everybody give a big welcome back to the MP3 player, which is not only giving people a heady dose of nostalgia, but offers the opportunity to listen to music without all the messages and emails that come through on the phone she usually stores her tunes.

While the slinky kind of nightwear is ordinarily best suited to special occasions, Boux Avenue’s satin camisole set is comfortable enough that she’ll actually want to wear it outside of your anniversary.

Should you be in the business of forever, the two of you are likely to experience the full gamut of emotion, often in tandem. With a rage room, anger gets a healthy outlet, with pandemonium-creators Destroyd letting you obliterate a roomful of detritus for a good, healthy half-hour of total abandon. An experience gift with knobs on.

Even if, to you, it seems as though they’re drowning in makeup tools, beauty obsessives could always, always do with more quality brushes. This limited edition travel collection by Laura Mercier features four brushes for face, cheeks and lips, plus a champagne-hued clutch to keep them in.

Take note, guys, because this is one of the ‘It’ shoes of the winter. The Mary Jane and the ballet flat (of which this is the latter) are having a moment, and so, in particular, are red flats decorated with bows and rivets. Oh, would you look at that! This Ganni pair have all of those things.

Cookie extraordinaire Biscuiteers lets you decorate your own butterfly biscuits, either with a DIY tin or at an in-bakery icing masterclass, but if you’d rather leave it to the professionals, I wouldn’t blame you one bit. Impeccably presented in a collectible tin, iced to perfection and tasty to a fault, bakes from Biscuiteers are always a good idea.

An optional but wholly thrilling skincare experience to add to a routine, a facial steamer not only makes it feel like your bathroom is in fact a very ritzy spa, but also opens pores ready for a superior cleansing. This one by Dr Dennis Gross is one of the very best.

Another easy win for the girlfriend who loves her makeup, this Pillow Talk lip set puts Charlotte Tilbury’s two most popular lip products together in one dosh-saving duo. Coming in a lipstick and liner for the ultimate faux lip filler hack.

Stone & Mason gave us a beach bag filled with summer essentials already, and for party season, it’s outdoing itself with this pearl-shaped purse in pink, gold or blue. Inside, find rose quartz gua sha and facial roller for emergency bone structure shaping mid-event.

Not only the purveyor of some of the most sought-after candles in the gifting market, Diptyque also stuns with its eau de parfums. Eau Rose, which uses (you guessed it) roses as its classic olfactory muse, is a devastatingly perfect example of a floral scent. Add the matching candle for a truly special gift.

Hollywood glamour meets contemporary design in Gilda & Pearl, the women-owned lingerie brand creating smalls for a utopian wardrobe. Find marabou feather trimmed silk robes and full-length silk dressing gowns there, plus such decadence as this: a tulle and silk lace body complete with 24 carat gold plates adjusters.

Percussive massage therapy at home is becoming routine for those who suffer from DOMs — or people who sit curled up like a cooked shrimp while working at their desk. No need to drop a bunch of cash on one: these by Lola are more than effective enough, plus they come in four different pastel shades.

Anyone who keeps track of shops in which they can grab a little free sample will already know that Whittard’s hot chocolate is to die for. But sipping a thimble-sized cup of its milk and white chocolate cocoas is nothing compared to a big, steaming mug (or six) all to yourself.

Ugly? Maybe. But covetable? Absolutely. British households are awash with this poncho-cum-hoodie with fleeced lining. Why? Because it’s akin to wearing your duvet around the house, something that all of us (and, if you’ll forgive me, your girlfriend in particular) wish we could do on the regular. A shoo-in for a cosy birthday gift.

A decade old this year, FaceGym’s hands-only and tool-inclusive facials are a cultural phenomenon that are purported to give a temporary non-invasive face lift. Get her booked in for a treat and throw in a Gua Sha as an added extra.

Anna + Nina never fails to produce stone and glassware your girlfriend most likely wants in her kitchen cabinets, and this season has proven no different with this hand-painted collection of serpent earthenware. Bag one for yourself as well with this set of two.

They may have doubled in price from the last time you bought a pair for yourself in 2005, but Converse Chuck Taylors have also doubled in comfort. Now, the classic hi-top silhouette is better than ever, but with the timeless look that will seemingly never date.

Want to graduate to our gift guide for wives? You're going to need two things: a proposal plan and a rock. If she's the traditional and/or classic type, nothing is better than a round brilliant Tiffany & Co. diamond.

It’s new coat season and if your gf has been clamouring for one then consider a goes-with-everything shearling. This one by Superdry is a fabulous vegan option best suited to the kind of person who wears jeans as often as they do pyjamas.

Calling the newly in love, the still in love and the downright soppy. This personalised gift has been (literally) tailor made for you. A clutch of miniature letters that are stamped as if they've been sent by air mail, you can enclose within each the reasons why you love your beaux so much. Awww.

It’s hard out there for haircare brands what with the impossible-to-pronounce but unceasingly popular Ouai topping everyone's wish lists. Unless you know she’s fond of a specific brand, don’t bother looking any further.

Perhaps it’s because they offer a refuge, or maybe it’s a throwback to present-opening on Christmas morning, but pyjamas are a mainstay in the world of gifting. If she’s due a new pair, head to Abercrombie for this heavenly lace and satin set.

Sleeping beauties and snoring beasts both deserve a good night’s sleep, and Simba is one of our most trusted sleep brands for helping you do just that. A mattress may be a little extravagant a gesture, but the matching Hybrid pillows are almost as life changing when it comes to sleep hygiene.

Ever been to a forest and thought it could do with more mirror balls? You and Urban Outfitters both: the high street store has added some disco stickers to one of its potted candles, this one in the shape of a mushroom. It's like if Alice in Wonderland micro-dosed.

Harley Street export 111Skin knows its stuff, having become a holy grail brand for those who worship at the alter of skincare. Its face masks are particularly coveted for their deeply effective properties, with the Cryo De-Puffing option ideal for the perennially tired or the frequent traveller.

Cutesy glassware is in, and Ichendorf Milan is giving us ample reason to get involved thanks to its delicate animal and glass letter designs. Feeling lavish? Buy her a set of eight tumblers so they can spell out ‘I love you’ on the kitchen counter.

There are a bunch of champagne brands that deserve the spike in sales they receive come anniversary season, and Laurent-Perrier is one of them. Fresh and sparkling, the famous vineyard also yields grapes for pressing into rosé bubbles, and it’s this iteration I recommend you buy this year. Just add a punnet of strawberries.

On my endless hunt for the perfect lingerie brand, I’ve found Gossard to score highly in every category: value for money, comfort and design. The classics are always the best, and so is that true in the Gossard universe: I like the Glossies collections — such as this lace set — the best.

As far as celebrity alcohol brands go, Kendall Jenner has one of the best with 818, which uses a sustainable distillery and local jimadores (agave farmers) in the Jallisco region of Mexico. An ideal gift for the celebrity and/or margarita worshipper.

Get it or not, the enthusiasm for the Stanley Quencher is still in full flow. If she already has one of those but could use something that she can actually put in her rucksack without it spilling, then this new "IceFlow” innovation should make up part of her next birthday present.

Visit our guide on the lingerie to buy her and you’ll quickly learn that the best choice is the one that she’ll feel comfortable — and therefore most beautiful — in. Cou Cou Intimates is a wise choice on that front, since its pieces are made from soft organic cotton pointelle. Long-lasting, soft-to-touch and as a bonus, part of the coquette trend that still rages on.

Not much can beat the high of leaving the cinema after having seen an exhilarating new film, and if date night for her means popcorn and no phone time, it might be time to pull the trigger on an Odeon Limitless subscription.

Flowers. The simplest choice of sentimental gift you can make, but one that will never go underappreciated. Bloom & Wild make sending bouquets this spring simple, but I do recommend starting a subscription so that your girlfriend feels special far past the wilting of that first bunch.

Kind on the hair and skin, silk pillowcases are beauty heroes as well as decadent sleep kit. Happily, for you, they also make for excellent gifts.

Another one for the book lovers, A Box of Stories sends out a selection of four surprise reads in each package, and operates on an algorithm so that your giftee will receive within the genre that they prefer.

Papier already does some of the best-looking diaries on the market, and it's now turned its hand to other paper-based products. The new hype in stationery-based must-haves? The reading journal.

Over 160 years old and still one of the most appealing and original love stories ever put to paper, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë may well be one of your girlfriend’s favourite books. Even if that isn’t the case, if she’s a reader, she’ll love this new edition of the classic by Folio Society, which sees it illustrated and clothbound in appropriately gothic fashion.

I don't like to discriminate between chocolate formats, but if my hand was forced and I had to choose a favourite, it might have to be the molten kind. In this Hotel Chocolat stroke of genius, four pots of the stuff — white, dark, milk and caramel — alongside several treats for dipping. Is your mouth watering too?

In the personalised gifting stakes, full names are out and more subtle acts of bespokery are in: monogramming, for example. Star signs, while also exceedingly popular, are perhaps a little overdone. The solution? Working with their birth month flower, as Uncommon Goods has done with this glassware collection.

A silk pillowcase is a must-purchase for a giftee wanting to battle hair frizz, spots and wrinkles, but for a doubly luxurious princess and the pea moment, a silk sleeping mask is just as essential. Available in dusty pink or midnight blue, Drowsy’s pillowy mask is comfortable to sleep in, decadent to the touch and offers a near-blackout sleeping experience.

The Mejuri bandwagon is starting to buckle under the weight of enthusiastic customers, and I'm sitting up front with the driver. When it comes to best women's jewellery brands, few are better. In this edition of “But Which Piece Do I Buy!?”, I suggest this diminutive diamond-studded band.

Unfortunately for men buying gifts for their girlfriends (and no doubt, Godiva's profit margins), a chocolate covered fresh strawberry just doesn't keep all that long. Something comparable that does, though? A freeze dried raspberry encased in chocolate. Thanks, Harrods!

Keeping on theme for the season of love, LSA International’s set of wine glasses uses pink and purple as its colour palette. Hand-painted and ribbed, they’re easy on the eye and guaranteed to last: LSA’s tableware is all handmade from glass.

A throw pillow straight out of a kitsch daydream, this needlepoint soft furnishing has been imbued with the most enduring lyric from Taylor Swift's latest album Midnights. A Swiftie essential.

It's been 161 years since Ladurée started making macarons. In other words, the pâttisier has been in business since 1862. This tells me two things: one, that it is historically impossible for Marie Antoinette to have enjoyed one (baffling), and two, quality is guaranteed.
