The book “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” was published in 1992, but I believe this classic still highlights a modern truth. When it comes to figuring out the opposite gender, sometimes we might as well be from two different planets.
What do you get the girlfriend who has everything? How do you pick a gift that shows that you care without seeming like you want to get married tomorrow? Or, alternatively, how do you choose a gift that shows her that she is your soulmate?
Being a boyfriend isn’t always easy, we get it! Some of us here at L&L are guilty of dropping the occasional “whatever you want” or “surprise me” when we know full well that we have a specific gift in mind and we’ll be offended if you don’t choose the right one. So, we’ve decided to pull back the curtain and give you a few suggestions.
Here are gifts that we would actually choose for ourselves and be overjoyed to receive from our significant others!
Gifts for Your Girlfriend
Weighted Blanket
Weighted blankets have been all the rage in recent years, and for good reason. Their weight gives the feeling that you’re being hugged all night long and they can help you relax by encouraging the release of serotonin.
It’s useful, yet it’s indulgent – the perfect gift for someone that values coziness and practicality.
They will be reminded of how much you love them every time they snuggles under this blanket. Hey, don’t worry, they will still want your real hugs too!
Cute Letters Sterling Silver Necklace
Carrie Bradshaw had it right back in the early 2000s — the iconic name necklace is timeless. And now, this delicate lettered version brings that same charm with a fresh, modern twist.
It’s beautifully dainty, comes in a variety of chain lengths and finishes, and is versatile enough to wear solo or layered with other favorites for a funkier vibe. Bonus: the price point makes it easy to gift without the guilt — especially after a season of big spending.
Makeup Subscription
Everyone loves a gift that keeps on giving — and a makeup subscription box does exactly that. These curated boxes are tailored to match her skin type, color tone, beauty preferences, and goals, making each delivery feel personal and exciting.
You can choose how long the subscription lasts to suit your budget, whether it’s a one-time treat or a few months of surprises. Inside, she’ll find a mix of high-end, cult-favorite products for face, body, and hair — all beautifully packaged and ready to try.
A fun, luxurious way to explore new favorites without the guesswork.
Bathroom Towel Warmer
This bathroom towel warmer is one of those perfect gifts he’d probably never pick for himself but will instantly want to use every day.
It warms two XL bath towels, jammies, bathrobes, throw blankets, and more in as little as sixty seconds. (Six minutes for the highest setting.) It also features auto shut off after an hour if he forgets to turn it off.
Everyone already knows how tough he is; there’s no reason why the hubs should freeze after he gets out of the shower.
Comes in six colors to fit your bathroom decor.
Leather Tote
A quality leather tote is timeless.
We were instantly drawn to the structured yet soft silhouette of this everyday tote. Made from genuine leather, it’s roomy enough for your daily must-haves—and then some—without ever feeling bulky. A timeless pick for workdays or weekends. We love everything about this bag, and it’s one of those very special occassion gifts they will undoubtedly use for years.
Jewelry Organizer
If they are someone that loves to travel, this jewelry organizer is exactly what they need. It’s the perfect size for a purse or carryon and made to keep their valuables safe and organized. If you’re already booking an anniversary trip, they definitely needs this case.
Luxury Slippers
Can you ever go wrong with an UGG gift? The answer is, unequivocally, ‘no’. UGGs are the epitome of comfort when it comes to footwear, and these stylin’ slippers are bound to keep his feet warm and cozy.
Worried he might never want to leave the house again lest he have to take off his slippers? Scratch that, because these slippers are designed for indoor AND outdoor wear. Just make sure he doesn’t start wearing them to business meetings!
Choose from five gorgeous color options and give him the most comfortable gift ever!
Cheese Board
This brilliant agate platter was made for cheese and charcuterie board glamour shots. And when you’re not impressing dinner guests with your style, it can serve as a showstopping adornment on your wall.
Custom Record
The best gift for music fanatics, we are obsessed with this custom record. Choose the music and the artwork to create a completely unique and personal vinyl record. The process is simple and the results are absolutely amazing. Whether your man is a musicophile or you just want to make him a rockin’ playlist of “your” songs, this sentimental and sweet customized record is the only way to go. Such a unique gift!
Luxury Candle
You really can’t go wrong with a candle gift!
And no, it’s not just for females.
A fancy candle is a perfect idea for your boyfriend’s gift list. That’s because guys deserve nice things too, and there is nothing wrong with him enjoying a delicious scent in his home (it’s better than it smelling like sweaty gym clothes).
A little boring, you say?
Go luxury with a beautifully smelling spa candle from British brand, Jo Malone.
Apparently, Kate Middleton burned Jo Malone Orange Blossom candles in Westminster Abbey during her wedding to Prince William back in April 2011. And then ever since word got out that the royals used these candles, numerous brides the world over have been using them to create a similar luxurious and opulent royal atmosphere.
Beautiful candles that are good enough for royalty, they’ll certainly make a lovely gift for your bride-to-be, your wife, your boyfriend, your sister… Well, anyone, really!
This lovely glass candle is filled with the highly fragrant scentes, which will infuse any room with an evocative scent that will last for hours. It comes packaged in a beautifully wrapped box that will make for a perfect candle gift.
I love this soy candle because it is made from soy wax without any dyes, paraffin, lead, or phthalate and is vegan/cruelty-free. It can also be a nice addition to suggest some quiet time together by candlelight with some music and away from screens.
Silk Blossom Diffuser
This diffuser is made of wood but we like it because it can work for some many anniversary themes! There is, of course, wood. There is 4th anniversary (flowers!) and you can make it work for almost any theme by adding a scent. For example, if you want to follow the “silk” theme you simply get a “silk blossom” scent to make it work the silk theme. Silk blossom scent smells like the blooms of a silk tree. Set a joyful mood on your anniversary (and the rest of the year) with this sweet smelling gift.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Take the classic ‘box of chocolate’ gift and turn it into an unforgettable, delectable experience.
If they have a sweet tooth, they will literally swoon when she opens this Ultimate Assortment Chocolate Covered Strawberries.
What makes these extra special is the Belgian chocolate coating and the variety of delicious toppings. Each juicy strawberry is first dipped in premium Belgian chocolate, then rolled in gourmet toppings like nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips, and coconut – a delightful mix of textures and flavors in every bite.

Analog Memory Backup Notebook
Elevate an average journal to something much more official with the analog memory backup notebook! Do we sound like a commercial? We certainly hope so! Really clever though, no? Also, everyone needs a journal, period.

Date Night Box
When date night keeps ending in “whatever you want” and another night on the couch, this little wooden box steps in and saves the evening.
Inside are 52 smooth beechwood coins, each engraved with a ready-to-go date idea—no planning, no scrolling, no awkward decision fatigue. Just pull a coin and let the night unfold. It turns thinking about quality time into actually having it.
The box itself feels intentional: warm, solid wood meant to be opened again and again, not tossed in a drawer. It’s the kind of gift that doesn’t feel flashy on Christmas morning—but quietly becomes one of the most used.
Perfect for couples who “already have everything,” new relationships finding their rhythm, or long-term partners who could use a gentle nudge toward more shared moments. Thoughtful, playful, and surprisingly meaningful—this is one of those gifts she won’t have to fake excitement over.
Handmade Crochet Duck
This little crochet duck is the kind of gift that makes people smile instantly — small, soft, and packed with personality. Whether you’re looking for a cute anniversary surprise, a silly stocking stuffer, or just a sweet “thinking of you” present, this duck totally delivers. Each one is handcrafted with care and comes with an uplifting message card, making it not just adorable but meaningful too.
Custom Spotify Keychain/Nightlight/Plaque
Does your giftee have a favorite song? Is it the song you and your significant other heard on your first date? Or maybe your grandparent’s wedding song? Or maybe it’s a song you associate with a special moment between the two of you? This nifty keychain includes the Spotify code engraved onto its clear acrylic body. They can effortlessly scan the code and hear their memorable tune anytime. Add song details and album art, making it a super cute keyring accessory.
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer
This is the fanciest hairdryer she’ll ever have, and she’ll probably throw her old one away immediately upon testing out this Dyson.
It doesn’t damage your hair, it dries at lightning speed, and it’s practically soundless. It also comes with attachments specifically for her hair type. Whether it’s stick-straight, she’s a curly girl, or she needs a gentle touch, she’ll look FABULOUS.
Luxury Silk Scarf
We’ve included the iconic Hermes scarf in our gift lists in the past (see Christmas Gifts For Mom), and we’re still dreamily browsing the site for our new favorites. Go ahead. The woman in your life deserves to call this one of her favorite things.
Scratch the Belly Nail Files
Skip the boring emery boards—these playful pups and kittens are here for belly rubs and perfect nails. Each file is a little moment of joy for the animal lover who finds comfort in creature comforts. We designed them for those who want a bit of humor with their self-care. Comes in a set of three—because one scritch is never enough
Open When Envelopes – DIY Letters Kit
We love gifts that keep on giving—and this “Open When” envelope kit is all about heartfelt connection. It includes 20 beautifully designed envelopes, each labeled with prompts like “Open when you’re sad” or “Open when you need to smile”, giving you the perfect canvas to share love, comfort, and encouragement from afar. Whether you’re surprising your partner, sending off a college-bound teen, or planning something special for a deployment or long-distance relationship, this kit makes it easy to turn ordinary notes into cherished keepsakes.
Fun Socks
Because boring socks don’t start conversations—but these do. Whether it’s “Eff Off, I’m Reading” or “Ringmaster of the Shit Show,” Blue Q’s crew socks deliver attitude, humor, and just the right amount of chaos. Made for the bold, the sarcastic, and anyone who needs their ankles to do the talking. Gift them to the friend who always says what everyone’s thinking—or keep them for yourself and let your feet drop the mic.
Not Your Ordinary Strawberry Lip Balms
Bacon? Pizza? Pickles? Do you want to put those on your lips and walk around all day? Probably not. That’s exactly why you should give them to someone you love! Plus, you never know, they may end up tasting amazing and you’ll be jealous as heck. If you’re a good girl, maybe you’ll get some in your stocking next year.
Tinkle Belle
Listen, ladies how many times have you been somewhere and WISHED you could pee while standing up. If you’re a dude, try your best to put yourself in her hiking boots. Can you picture it? See?
That’s why this is a gag gift with a very useful purpose. She can take it camping, hiking, or anywhere her only other option would be a portapotty full of toxic waste (usually, let’s be honest, depostied by a bunch of dudes.) Sorry. Not sorry.
Ultimate Candy Mug Bouquet
Because flowers wilt – and chocolate doesn’t. Packed with iconic treats like Reese’s, Kit Kats, and Snickers, this candy bouquet swaps petals for pure sugar joy. We built it inside a reusable mug and tied it with a bow, making it a go-to for birthdays, get-wells, or any celebration that needs a serious mood lift. We ship it fresh, fast, and ready to wow right out of the box.
A Page From Your Girlfriends Wishlist
We’re so happy that you’re researching gifts for your girlfriend, she deserves it! We love a partner who doesn’t just grab a pre-wrapped gift basket from Bath and Body Works (though those smell amazing and we applaud you for at least remembering the occasion) and actually puts some time and thought into what their girlfriend wants.
Many of the items in this gift guide are gifts we desperately desire but would never buy for ourselves. Be our knight in shining armor and show us it’s okay to indulge once in a while!
