Editorial Guidelines and Cris Pearlstein Updated on April 19, 2024 12:11PM EDT Photo: Courtesy of Williams Sonoma, Sephora, Marshall Here's the thing about shopping for the women in your life: No single gift truly fits them all. That's why we took a nuanced approach to curating presents for your mom, sister, daughter, significant other, and best friend. One unifying idea? Whether you're looking for a Mother's Day gift, birthday gift, or any other gift, all of our suggestions are polished and inspired, as opposed to the same-old, same-old. While your wife might light up while unwrapping an ultra-plush robe in a sweet stripe print, your mom might prefer a vintage-inspired signet ring with her initial. The point? Your leading ladies have different interests—some may love listening to music, while others take crafting seriously. Whatever she's into, we've thoroughly covered all her hobbies with the following must-have gifts for her. 47 Gifts We're Giving the Men in Our Lives The Bouqs Terracotta Dried Flowers Courtesy of Bouqs A fresh bouquet is always a welcome gift, but if you're eyeing something that lasts a bit longer and still has that floral appeal, consider a dried bouquet.
