Eva-White Taylor selects 10 gifts for the women in your life

- Eva-White Taylor

PRESENT SENSE

When it comes to finding the best gift for women, the options really are endless, which can make the search for the perfect present decidedly difficult. It needn't be, though. She's sure to be over the moon with anything you give her (particularly if you're taking my advice).

To help make the present-buying quest a little easier, this gift guide is filled with a range of ideas, big and small. All bases and budgets are covered. Whether you’re shopping for a gift that comes in at less than £20 or a grand gesture, it’s here where you'll find all the inspiration you need.

On the lookout for something for a new homeowner? A set of champagne saucers is sure to go down a treat. As for those with a sweet tooth, Crème cookies will go down a treat. Jewellery is also an easy win, with Astrid & Miyu and Daisy Jewellery being the affordable brands to turn to. But I’ve also found affordable luxury in the form of a Chanel accessory. Even the notoriously difficult woman to buy for will be catered for. You’re welcome.

How I tested

Compiling a roundup of the best gifts for women is no mean feat, so I’ve spent years compiling this guide. I’ve considered price, quality and how I'd feel if I unwrapped each one. I’ve included presents that I have received and gifted in the hope that the woman in your life will love them as much as me. Keep scrolling for my treasure trove of gifts, each one is as special as the last.

If the woman in your life has asked for jewellery, the options really are endless, which I appreciate, makes it more difficult, especially if you’ve had little guidance. I’d recommend opting for a simple piece that they will wear every day.
