Shopping for the perfect gift is particularly challenging; it’s one of the only shopping experiences where what you like doesn’t matter at all. Choosing the gift you would like to receive is a tempting strategy, but this doesn’t always work when shopping for others. Of course, it’s impossible to get inside the brain of the person you’re shopping for, but there are ways to ensure you find the best option.

When shopping for the best gifts for women, consider your giftee’s hobbies. Are they into gardening or reading? Are they dog-obsessed or a wine lover? Do they love to travel? Starting with a particular interest and going from there is an excellent way to ensure that, no matter what, the person receiving the gift knows that you know them and care about the things they care about. That’s sometimes the greatest gift at all. 

We gathered 76 of the best gifts for the women in your life that suit every hobby, interest, and budget.
