Last Minute Christmas Gifts For Her

The gifts she'll love

By Abhya Adlakha | LAST UPDATED: DEC 26, 2025

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not saying buying a Christmas gift at the eleventh hour for your girlfriend or your wife (or I don’t know, any woman in your life) is a crime. It’s definitely looked down upon (by me). But okay, it’s not a crime.

But you know what is? Buying a gift late and buying a bad one.

Your girlfriend probably doesn’t care when you bought the gift. She cares whether it feels like you understand her. Whether it lands with intention. Whether it looks like you paused—briefly, at least—to think about who she is, what she likes, and what makes her feel seen.

So, buy one of these, wrap it well, and write a note that sounds like you. If you do that, the fact that you bought it at the eleventh hour won’t matter. What will matter is that it feels like her. And that’s good enough!

Miu Miu Metal Sunglasses

Miu Miu

If she believes accessories do most of the talking, start here. These rectangular metal sunglasses—gold frame, brown lenses—hit that sweet spot between old-money restraint and modern sharpness. Miu Miu does this better than most: classic shapes with a mischievous edge. I basically saw almost every woman wear these this year. You cannot go wrong with this.

Chloé Atelier de Fleurs Cedrus Intense

Chloé

A fragrance for someone who doesn’t want to smell like everyone else at the party. . Cèdre Intense is woody, warm, and grown-up, with cedar, vetiver, and sandalwood doing the heavy lifting, softened by rose and spice. It’s warm, luminous, and quietly powerful.

Jakobi Chocolatier Advent Calendar

Yes, it’s December. No, it’s not too late. Jakobi’s Advent Calendar isn’t just about dates, but the really really good chocolates inside: twenty -four windows, each revealing a chocolate that feels almost cinematic. Milk fudge with caramel warmth, kunafa with pistachio crunch, white mango truffle with unexpected brightness, honey caramel sharpened by sea salt. It’s insanely good.

indē wild Champi Slick Stick

indē wild

The kind of beauty product that earns permanent residence in her bag. It smooths flyaways, tames frizz, styles, and quietly strengthens hair at the same time. No drama, no learning curve, no wasted effort. It’s practical, yes—and in a deeply satisfying, why didn’t I have this sooner way.

Le Labo Santal 26 Candle

Warm, smoky, and unlike any candle she already owns. It’s atmospheric without being overpowering.

Mirragio Avery Vanity Kit

Double-compartment interiors, brush holders with flaps, PU window to spy your favourite lipstick without digging—all designed to turn her routine into an experience, not a scramble. It’s understated, elegant, and just charming enough that she’ll use it every single day.

Secret Alchemist Royal Tuberose

An Indian tuberose done right—luminous, creamy, and modern without losing its soul. This fragrance balances floral romance with sandalwood depth, and it feels intentional in a way mass perfumes often don’t. It’s also refreshingly unfussy: easy to wear, easy to love, and priced so well it feels almost unfair.

Shivan & Narresh Primordi Sack Bag

Shivan & Narresh

This S&N bag is slouchy, artsy, and super cool. This is not a “special occasion” bag — it’s the one she’ll take everywhere, from beach days to city errands. The canvas build keeps it relaxed, the print gives it personality, and the knotted detailing adds just enough softness.

KIKO Milano Golden Oasis 2-in-1 Lips & Cheeks Tint

One product, two uses, thank you? It gives colour without commitment and glow without effort. Ideal for someone who likes looking put-together but doesn’t want to think too hard about it. Also excellent stocking-stuffer energy if you’re pairing gifts.

WINSTON 3-in-1 LED Light Therapy Face Mask

This mask covers acne, brightness, and fine lines in one go, and it’s surprisingly easy to use.

Uniqlo Satin Pajamas Long Sleeve Set

Uniqlo

I think pajamas are still top-tier gifts. The satin fabric, relaxed tailoring, and subtle print make these feel indulgent without being over-the-top. She’ll wear them immediately — which is the highest compliment any gift can get.

West Elm Cotton Knit Throw

Soft, breathable, and quietly luxurious. It’s the kind of thing she’ll use constantly but never think to buy herself. Movie nights, afternoon naps, Sunday scrolling — this throw is for everyday use.

Swarovski Imber Necklace

Swarovski

An easy, everyday piece with just enough sparkle to feel special. It layers well and works across outfits. If her style is clean, modern, and unfussy, this fits right in.

Dyson Airstrait (Ceramic Pink & Rose Gold)

You don’t need to understand how it works. You just need to know that it dries and straightens hair at the same time, without extreme heat, and saves serious time. This is one of those gifts that instantly upgrades her daily routine—and she will think of you every single morning. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Also yes.

Isharya Seafoam Waterfall Earrings

Bold without being heavy, playful without tipping into costume. These earrings pull inspiration from aquatic colours and summer light, but they work year-round. They elevate simple outfits and hold their own with statement dressing. If she likes jewellery, this is an easy win.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 TGRS (Holiday Edition)

The Mexico 66 TGRS blends the silhouette of a pump with the comfort of a trainer, finished with glitter and delicate floral-cut stripes. It’s feminine without being fussy and fashion-forward without being try-hard.

ellementry Velvet Night Reed Diffuser & Candle Set

In my opinion, you can never have too many diffusers. This one is wild rose and yuzu, warm but not cloying, elegant without leaning spa-basic. It works as décor and atmosphere in equal measure.

COACH Suede Brooklyn Large 39 Shoulder Bag

COACH

Who knew Coach made a comeback? Crafted of durable, luxuriously soft double-faced suede, this generously sized hobo style features a spacious interior with room for her daily errands. Literally every woman in New York has one of these today.

Apple AirTag

Before you call my gift idea deeply unsexy, please wait to consider that this one feels boring unless its completely indispensable —especially if you have a girlfriend who is really forgetful and then stresses out. Slip it into her tote, her suitcase, her keys—anywhere things have a habit of disappearing—and it quietly removes a layer of daily anxiety. She’ll thank you for six weeks later when she’s running late and doesn’t lose her mind.

HP Sprocket Instant Photo Printer

The HP Sprocket lets her print photos straight from her phone—no wires, no effort, no commitment to a whole scrapbooking phase. Stick them on mirrors, pinboards, inside books, or keep them tucked into wallets like tiny memory talismans. It’s nostalgic without being corny. Bonus points if you print a few photos before gifting it—it immediately feels personal.
