Ah, the classic gift problem. The holiday season is here again, and you’re searching high and low for the perfect gift for your special lady. Before you know it, you’re drowning in a sea of scarves and jewelry and makeup but none of it seems right.
To get that genuine “wow!” this year, you might need to think outside the box. We’re here to offer a hand. Here are some of the best girlfriend gifts this year.
The Best Girlfriend Gifts in 2018
Whether you have more of a casual vibe or you’re committed, every guy wants to find the perfect gift for his gal. She’ll love any of these ideas.
A Cozy Blanket
We’re not big on stereotypes, but the idea that women are always cold isn’t 100% false. If your girlfriend is one of those who’s always wearing layers, she’ll love a soft and cozy blanket.
If you want to score some extra points, find a blanket that fits with her home’s decor. That way, she’ll be able to use it as a design accent and have it accessible any time she wants it.
There’s another great way to step up your gift even more. Use the blanket as part of a movie night kit. Complement the blanket with a movie or TV show she loves, a pack of her favorite viewing snack, and a bottle of her favorite wine.
Cold Weather Fashions
If your girl loves fashion, why not give her a great addition to her wardrobe this year?
We know your concern: it can be hard to know what pieces she’ll like. There are some tricks. First, look for brands she seems to enjoy. For example, if she already has a few Fairweather items, you can bet that she likes their style. It’s easy to find gifts she’ll love on their site, which you can view here.
It’s also important to see what sizes she wears in that brand because each designer’s sizes fit differently.
A Monogrammed Necklace
They say you can’t go wrong with jewelry, and they’re right to an extent. There’s some jewelry she’ll enjoy more than others, and it can be tricky to figure out what that is.
Allow us to solve the mystery this year: go for a monogrammed necklace. These necklaces are a huge fashion trend today, so she’ll be able to enjoy the necklace for the style alone.
Of course, it also has the added bonus of personalization. A custom gift tells her you didn’t buy the first thing you found in the mall. You gave it some thought and planned ahead, and she’ll love that sentimental twist.
Gifting to Impress
When it comes to finding the best girlfriend gifts, you want it to have two features. First, it should have a personal element and show that you know and care for her. Second, it should be something she can actually use and enjoy. The tips above meet both of those criteria.
