The 20 best Christmas gifts for her that any woman would love to unwrap

Oprah-approved slippers, bestselling under-eye masks, a trendy candle warmer lamp — you can't go wrong with any of these Christmas gift ideas.

Woman being handed gift
She's one of your greatest gifts — and these expert-loved finds, ranging in price, practicality and personalization, will show her just that.

She deserves nothing but the best. I know, I know, it may feel like an impossible feat, but these thoughtful Christmas gifts for her will do the trick. All of the gift ideas below are products I've given, received or am currently eyeing for different women in my life, so they have my under-the-tree satisfaction guarantee.

My two cents: Do away with all the cheesy cliches and go for something more unique. Seriously, I can't bear the thought of you giving the woman you love your wife, mom, sister, grandma, you name it — another cheap candle, coffee mug or throw blanket. More thoughtful gestures will steal the show, whether it's a heated massager to combat eye strain or a custom cocktail recipe book tailored to your "zest" friend.

Is she a practical queen? Then combine function and fashion with a pair of Oprah-approved Dearfoarms slippers or opt for an electric multicooker from Drew Barrymore's popular Walmart line. Or is she more keen on keeping up with the trends? This list of gift ideas includes brands she knows and loves, with buzzy finds from Lululemon and Sol de Janeiro.

Keep scrolling for the best Christmas gift ideas for her at every budget, starting under $10. And while you're in the shopping mood, check out these standout Christmas gifts for men and stocking stuffers (including ideas just for women!), too. Keep in mind that delivery dates are ever-changing, so these picks might not all arrive in time for Christmas (although I've tried my best to make sure of it!).

The best self-care isn't always costly or time-consuming; it's the one she actually does. All she needs is 15 or 20 minutes tops to reap the benefits of these editor-approved eye masks. Go with the gold glittery ones to energize tired under-eyes, or spring for a pack of pink pairs for extra moisture.

A little sparkle goes a long way, especially around the holidays. The next time she's hitting the town (or, ya know, leaving the house), she can trade out her basic hoops for these colorful crystal huggies, which one five-star fashionista raved "look and feel far more expensive than they are."

The weather outside is frightful, but this cozy cabin scene is so delightful. This 60-piece puzzle will show up fully assembled, but don't get your tinsel in a tangle: Write a message on the back, then take it apart and place the pieces back in the envelope. She'll have to piece it together to read what you wrote.

Sure, you can always just whip up a batch of cookies, throw them in some Tupperware and call it a day, but I'm all for making classic gifts a little less predictable. My suggestion: Make her favorite treats as usual, then pair them with this floral stoneware set, so she can eat 'em in style.

She's cool and all, but that doesn't mean she wants to be cold. See what I did there?

Choose from 16 colors, ranging from basic neutrals to eye-catching brights.

Google named candle warmers one of last year's most-searched Christmas gifts — and they're still holding strong.

Oprah loves 'em, and she will too. These slip-ons, complete with a faux-fur cuff and memory foam insole, earned a coveted spot on Oprah's Favorite Things List this year, with Lady O writing that they're a great way to give "relaxation-in-a-box to your nearest and dearest." Pick from 12 colors and prints (I'm partial to this winter white).

Does she bring a bagged lunch to work? Now, she'll be able to warm up a single serving of soup, chili or last night's leftovers right at their desk. "I recently used it during a 10-hour class and my chili was piping hot within an hour," one five-star fan gushed. "I've experienced zero leaks with it and it doesn't require much space."

Skip the flowers and give her these zero-maintenance plants instead. The only catch: She'll have to build 'em first. Luckily, it's pretty easy because the 758 pieces are divided into nine bags — one for each plant and its corresponding terracotta pot. "The attention to detail in each plant is remarkable, bringing a charming and realistic touch to my home decor without the worry of watering," one happy builder wrote.

A tub of Sol de Jeneiro's award-winning Bum Bum Cream will normally set you back $48, but you can snag this three-piece set for a fraction of the price.

Finally, flowers that won't ever wilt! First things first: She'll have to tap into her puzzle-loving mind to snap each sunflower, lilac, red camellia, pink rose and eucalyptus together — no glue necessary. "Each flower is packaged separately, so it is easy to find a stopping point and still get a sense of accomplishment," one proud puzzler wrote. Another chimed in: "It looks like something you'd want to keep out in your home."

This season's "it bag" is the definition of effortless chic — as is she. The slouchy style is loved by celebs (including model Bella Hadid) and while you could always splash out on a designer version, this affordable Amazon pick achieves the same look. "Looks and feels like real leather," an impressed customer wrote. "It's also the perfect size for me. I need enough room for all my stuff, but I don't want an enormous handbag." Double up on the season's trends by opting for the chocolate brown shade or pick from seven other colors, including black and dark red.

It'll be a very cashmere Christmas, indeed. Made with Quince's beloved Mongolian cashmere, this classic crewneck is three times as warm as wool yet lightweight enough for layering. Take it from this recent cashmere convert: "I haven't liked cashmere in the past, but this is super soft and not itchy at all. No need for a T-shirt underneath." 

Pick from 14 colors — some will match her sophisticated neutral palette, others will give a much-needed pop of color.

It's always 'tini time in her world.

They'll even include a toast tailored to her four best qualities (hand-selected by you, of course) and a personalized dedication, along with 29 recipes to help her keep the drinks flowing.

Try as you might, it's nearly impossible to avoid screens — especially given that we use them to communicate, work, pay bills and, ahem, shop. This, of course, can result in some serious eye strain, which is where this futuristic-looking gadget comes in handy. Use a remote to toggle between different compression, vibration and heat levels to soothe dry, tired eyes. Want a truly spa-worthy experience? Connect your phone via Bluetooth to play music of your choice.

Digital picture frames are the gifts that keep on giving. Instead of settling on one photo to display, you can load this WiFi-powered frame with thousands of your favorite snaps before gifting, then add more as new memories are made. Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida says his Aura frame "makes me happier than just about anything else in my home" — and for that reason (and more), it topped his list of the best digital picture frames.

A quality pair of pajamas is the ultimate treat, especially as she's gearing up for hibernation season. Lake's silky-soft modal fabric is the epitome of luxury — and so is this chic wrap-style top. "This pajama set is the most comfortable I've ever worn. The quality is exceptional, and they wash up beautifully," one luxurious lounger wrote, adding that they didn't even wrinkle when she "packed them into a suitcase for international travel."
