What do you gift that special woman in your life? It’s the age-old question that resurfaces every time we need to celebrate the leading women in our lives. But finding a gift that shows your mum, grandma, girlfriend, sister, wife, best friend or any important woman in your life, just how special they are is no easy feat.
Why not give the gift of salon quality nails with the ingenious Salon Perfect Ultimate Kit by GLAMRDiP? Easy to use, highly effective and great value for money, this present is the equivalent to a regular ongoing booking at a professional nail salon – but so much cheaper. “This product is next level out of this world AMAZING” said one happy shopper. We also put this product to the test, so read below to see how it went.
For the one who loves to cook, you could indulge her with a new seven-in-one multicooker that reviewers say is “magic” and “so easy to use”.
She can also whip up any dish in or a stunning Le Creuset casserole dish she’s had her eye on for years.
Or, if she’s someone who rarely shows herself the TLC she deserves, you can splurge her with a luxurious self-care gift like Go-To Skincare’s best-selling set of products for glowy skin, a back and neck massager she can use anywhere and everywhere or the iconic Dyson Airwrap so she can have salon-looking hair 365 days of the year.
And if you’re a little short on time (it’s OK, we’re all guilty of being last-minute people), a physical or e-gift card to her favourite shop is still extremely thoughtful plus, it gives her the flexibility to pick something out she actually wants and needs. We especially love those from Adore Beauty, THE ICONIC, and Myer.
Now, when you need a gift for that someone special, choose a present from the list we’ve thoughtfully curated for you below. Regardless of her age or interests, there’s something here for everyone. And our last word of advice: don’t forget the card!
BEST GIFTS FOR HER: EDITOR’S PICKS
The Petite Letter Necklace, $350 at Sarah & Sebastian
“My friends all chipped in for this beautiful necklace from Sarah and Sebastian for my 21st birthday. It’s been almost five years now and I still wear it every single day. The dainty design was very on trend at the time but I still think it holds up today despite the quickly changing trend cycle of the past few years. I receive compliments on it all the time and I love getting to say it was a gift from my best friends. Plus, it’s made from 10-karat yellow gold so unlike other jewellery around at the moment that is only gold-plated, this one is built to last. If you’re looking to gift something special, this is the way to go.”
-Philippa Tonkin, Shopping Writer
Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum, from $145 at Myer
“YSL’s Libre perfume is pretty iconic at this point, and it’s also my current favourite scent. With hints of lavender, orange blossom and vanilla, it’s elegant and refined, making it perfect for every occasion. The bottle is also so pretty and looks incredibly luxe sitting on your vanity, making it such a nice gift to unwrap.”
– Lauren Chaplin, Consumer Technology Writer
Salon Perfect Ultimate Kit, $154 at GLAMRDiP
“As a first-timer and beginner at dip-powder, I absolutely loved my experience using the GLAMRDiP Salon perfect Ultimate Kit. It was a lot easier than I had anticipated and the step-by-step instructions really helped. It’s very similar to SNS, which I have had done at professional nail salons and while it was a trust-the-process moment – doing it all on my own was incredibly satisfying … I highly recommend GLAMRDiP for anyone – from those that love a good mani but are trying to save money to those that want a neat solution to a messy habit like nail biting and skin picking. It’s SO worth it and really a no-brainer as you not only get to save money and time but you also get to learn to be your own nail tech. You genuinely don’t need to have previous experience to use GLAMRDiP’s kits and all the instructions are crystal clear which makes it so easy to follow. I can definitely see myself using this kit more often for quick manis and I’m so excited to keep trying out different nail looks!”
– Harriet Amurao, Shopping Writer
Jasmine Short Robe, $69.95 at Homebodii
“I love nothing more than lounging around the house so find myself in constant need of elegant and stylish loungewear. Homebodii create stunning options with exquisite pyjamas, robes and nighties, so I was thrilled when my lovely husband bought me the Jasmine Short Robe as a gift. It’s so silky soft and comfy, yet feels incredibly chic, perfect in summer when I jump out of the shower. A true luxury item – but an essential one that I need every single day!”
– Susannah Hardy, Partnerships Writer
Endota Gift Card, from $25 at Endota
“I love gifting experiences and as I’m all about self-care, my go-to gift is an Endota gift card for a massage or facial (or sometimes both!). Whether it’s my girlfriends, my mum, sister-in-law, or even my partner (although I get a couple’s massage so win-win for me), I find that an Endota gift card is always so well received. In today’s crazy busy world, they love that they have an excuse to indulge in some much-needed me-time and there’s usually an Endota spa right near them, wherever they are. I recently treated myself to the Surrender Spa Package, which includes an Organic Relax Massage and Organic Infusion Facial, and let me tell you it was 75 minutes of pure bliss. My skin had never felt softer and my body so relaxed. Otherwise, if you don’t have a treatment in mind, they also do gift cards with amounts from $25 all the way up to $2000.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
WHAT SHOULD I THINK ABOUT WHEN BUYING A GIFT FOR HER?
Showing the special woman in your life just how much she means to you is a big decision. Of course, this places a lot of pressure on you during the decision process but here are three key tips to help you find the most incredible gift that’s memorable, personal and pleasing.
Plan: Thinking ahead means you can decide on a gift that’s truly meaningful, thoughtful and sentimental. Of course, life always gets in the way and we can unintentionally let present buying slip our minds a few days (or even a day) beforehand, In that case, a gift voucher from one of her favourite shops still shows an equal amount of love.
Consider smaller details that may often get overlooked: What’s her favourite colour? Does she like flowers, food or books? What are her hobbies? Does she have health goals she wants to achieve? Is she planning a trip shortly that she needs travel essentials and gear for? Does she prefer experiences over physical gifts? Does she enjoy entertaining guests? Ultimately, you want to focus on what brings her joy.
