If you’re looking for an easy win, slip her these wool-lined leather gloves which are buttery on the outside and cocoon-like on the inside.

Miu Miu returns to its (rightful) top spot on Lyst’s hottest brand ranking for Q3 2024.

If she’s constantly misplacing her keys or wallet, a little Airtag goes a long way. It pairs easily with the Find My app, so she can give the tag a ring (yes, she can call her keys) in times of need. Pair it with a personalized keyring case for a gift that’s practical and uniquely hers.

Similarly to her intimates drawer, every woman can feel the difference between bad and good hair tie days.
