We found the 40 best Christmas gifts for girlfriends (without peeking at her wishlist)

Shopping for your girlfriend can be tough. Just like shopping for your wife, finding the picture-perfect present can seem like it’s far out of reach — like you’re searching on Google for the best gifts, but they all seem not to suit her to your liking.

That’s where the New York Post Shopping team comes in. This isn’t our first gift-giving rodeo, either. We have countless guides — including the best gifts for women and the best luxury gifts for her — that you’ll want to check out, too, but you’ll find over 30 solid Christmas gift ideas for your girlfriend below.

Typically, shopping for your girlfriend takes a bit of time. To help you out we’ve compiled a grand list for you to reference for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, her birthday, and even your anniversary.

But with our carefully curated list, you can not only get something you’ll both be happy with but do it in half the time.

Whether she’s been hinting at beauty gifts or a high-quality, cozy blanket, this guide has all the stops. Read on for gifts that are so good, that you’ll be sharing this list with all of your friends who are in relationships themselves.

Our readers have become obsessed with the Azue Fuzzy Warm Slipper Socks (5- or 6-Pack) — as they should. Who doesn’t love a good pair of socks? Not to mention, fuzzy socks? For less than $15, this bundle makes a wonderful stocking stuffer as well, and its knit design is well-loved (and well-worn) by nearly 14,000 satisfied Amazon shoppers.

Keep her cozy all winter long. The slightly oversized Super Puff ClimMATTE is filled with 100% responsibly sourced goose down, delivering serious warmth without feeling bulky or restrictive. Commerce Reporter Miska Salemann is a big fan — especially of the durable ripstop exterior, which is both water- and wind-resistant, with a matte finish and ultra-soft feel.

The Aurate New York Pearl Huggie Earrings make a fabulous gift for less than $110 and are ideal if your girlfriend loves jewelry and all things gold. They’re simple, can be worn to work or to date night alike and will be treasured for years of well-styled use.

If you can tell that your girlfriend’s work bag is in need of a refresh, look no further than Quince for her new favorite accessory. It’s great for the office, happy hour, and beyond.

Meet the brand that got me hooked on cashmere. As one of the best cashmere sweaters we rounded up, NAADAM’s Essential $98 Cashmere Sweater is the epic pick this holiday season. Its color options are just as good as its plush, peak softness, too.

Plant-powered beauty has your scalp’s back. Vegamour’s best-selling serum is worth the splurge — just ask the hundreds of reviewers (and our Post Wanted editors) who swear by it for longer locks. Formulated to help prevent early thinning and boost density, it’s clinically proven to deliver visibly fuller, healthier hair in as little as three months and reduce signs of shedding by up to 90%.

The New York Post Shopping team raves about THE COMFY Original Oversized Microfiber & Sherpa Wearable Blanket (it’s so comfy — literally — that we want to bring it into the office with us). We just might. This is the ideal $50 cozy gift for your girlfriend who always wants to cuddle. When you’re not there, she can cuddle this gift, and it’s kind of like the next best thing.

Best for girlfriends who love cooking: Always Pan 2.0

This pan is like the Swiss Army knife of cookware — it does everything but the dishes (sorry, you’re still on the hook for those). It’s perfect for whipping up gourmet meals or, let’s be real, making yet another batch of pasta. Just be prepared for her to suddenly want to cook every meal at home – your takeout budget might need a readjustment.

Best for girlfriends who work out: Theragun Mini

This little powerhouse is like having a personal masseuse in her gym bag. It’s perfect for working out those post-workout kinks or for impromptu shoulder massages during Netflix binges. Warning: She may start finding “sore muscles” that desperately need attention all over the house.

Lingerie and pajamas just had a lovechild, and it’s the Adore Me Lauretta Unlined Cami & Flutter Short Set. Subtly sexy and ultra-comfortable, this lacy two-piece set is everything your girlfriend wants this season. Even better, you’ll be spending less than $30.

It’s no secret: the Post Wanted team basically lives in their Cozy Earth pajamas. If you have a girlfriend who loves their loungewear, then Cozy Earth should be her next best friend.

Plus, the hands-free design means she can easily juggle her phone, coffee, and still have a hands-free for impromptu dance moves.

Say goodbye to raccoon eyes and hello to a refreshed, “I totally got 8 hours of sleep” look!

Wrap her in the cozy embrace of autumn with this oversized hoodie that’s basically a wearable pumpkin spice latte. It’s perfect for those “I’m just running to the store” moments that turn into full-day errand marathons in leggings. And let’s be honest, it’s roomy enough to hide a secret snack stash for those impromptu picnics in the park.

Turn her into a veggie ninja with this kitchen gadget that chops faster than you can say “julienne fries.” It’s perfect for meal prep on Sundays or for pretending you’re on a cooking show while making dinner. Just be prepared for an onslaught of perfectly diced vegetables in every meal — even breakfast might not be safe.

If you’ve got that one friend who’s always fussing over her hair — the length, the shine, the volume, you name it — she needs to get her hands on Amika. This cult-favorite brand has won over thousands of reviewers (and for good reason). Even our own Commerce Writer, Miska Salemann, swears by it — calling it one of the few brands that actually helped her through the challenges of postpartum hair loss.

There’s almost nothing as relaxing as curling up with a cup of tea and a good book, especially as the weather gets cooler and we start to head inside.

Showcase your love (and your best angles) with this adorable heart-framed picture frame. It’s the perfect way to display that one photo where you both look amazing and not at all like you took 50 tries to get it right. Just be prepared for the “awws” from everyone who sees it — and maybe keep a backup photo ready for when she inevitably decides you need a picture update.

If she loves trying out creative, new makeup looks, she probably could use a tool to take them off at night. The Original MakeUp Eraser PRO is a best-selling solution for taking off foundation and eye makeup. It’s alcohol- and fragrance-free, too, making it a dreamboat for more reactive skin types. Best of all, it’s on sale for 40% off!

Just don’t be surprised if she starts analyzing your relationship in terms of “personal growth opportunities” — it’s all part of the journey, right?

This clever gadget is like a personal assistant for her reading habit, holding her book open and keeping her snacks within arm’s reach. It’s perfect for those marathon reading sessions where she swears she’ll “just finish this chapter” (spoiler: she won’t). Just be warned: You might need to stage an intervention to get her to leave her new cozy reading nook and rejoin the land of the living.

To make all of those recipes your girlfriend has been sending you from TikTok (we know the drill), the Ninja Foodi 8.5 Qt.
