A coffee mug that keeps her drinks hot for hours
Hydro Flask Mug, 12 oz, available on Amazon and Hydro Flask, from $29.95
This mug is a common desk companion for the Insider Picks team. The 12-ounce coffee mug has Hydro Flask’s proprietary TempShield insulation that made its water bottles famous. This mug will keep hot drinks hot for up to six hours, and cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours. Read a full review of it here.
A dainty bracelet that celebrates your connection
Connection Bracelet, available at AUrate, $300
If you’re looking for something sweet that will remind her of you, the Connection Bracelet with two interlocking loops on a 14-karat gold chain (white, yellow, or rose) is meant to symbolize connection and harmony. It’s also dainty enough to wear every day.
Ultra-comfy shoes
Wool Runners, available at Allbirds, $95
We've been wearing and loving these comfortable original Allbirds sneakers for more than two years. They're soft, breathable, lightweight, and machine-washable. Plus, they're made out of sustainable materials.
An extra absorbent, hotel-quality bathrobe
Bathrobe, available on Snowe, $98
Snowe's $98 unisex bathrobe has been called the best and most absorbent terry robe on the market, and I'm just one more fervent believer. The cotton fiber traps air for extra absorbency, is soft and plush, and the unisex sizing means it will feel like a blanket-turned-robe. Perfect functionality, and extra points for coziness.
A wine subscription that sends her great wines by the glass
Reds and Rosés Set, available at Vinebox, $84
Vinebox is a subscription service that sends vials of some of the best wines in the world by the glass, so she can discover new blends to love. This gift set comes with nine vials of reds and rosés that go perfectly with her Valentine's Day chocolates. You can also gift her a subscription so she can try some new wines every few months.
A cooling weighted blanket for more restful sleep
New Cooling Blanket, available at Gravity, $199
Weighted blankets help create more restful sleep by "grounding" the body, and Gravity makes the best weighted blanket overall. The startup's New Cooling Blanket has evenly distributed weight, but it's also the most breathable and aesthetically pleasing option I've found so far.
If you're looking to spend half the amount - and still get a good weighted blanket - I recommend checking out YnM on Amazon. It also comes in sizes big enough to cover two people at once. Either way, pick whichever option is about 10% of her body weight for the right effect.
A buzzy coffee scrub
Frank Body Original Coffee Scrub, available at Ulta, $9.95
This Coffee Scrub has made the rounds on social media, so you may have seen it before. It's made of a blend of natural ingredients like roasted and ground coffee beans, cacao extract, and cold-pressed almond oil to exfoliate and moisturize the skin.
A lifetime REI membership
REI Membership, available at REI, $20
An REI membership offers a lifetime of benefits for a one-time purchase, including 10% off (paid back in an annual dividend), special offers, access to in-store REI Garage sales, and special pricing on REI classes and events. Find out more here.
Brooklinen sheets
Brooklinen Luxe Hardcore Sheet Bundle, available at Brooklinen, from $219
Brooklinen has a well-earned reputation as one of the internet's favorite bedding startups. Its bedding is comfortable and luxurious, and any of the 15 colors and patterns can instantly elevate the look of her bedroom. If she's not ready to revamp her whole bedding set, gift her a pair of pillowcases to start.
A bouquet of farm-fresh flowers
Send flowers from The Bouqs Co. from $36
Even with all these unique gift ideas, sometimes you just want to stick with a classic bouquet. Bouqs is our go-to for online flowery delivery service - they partner with eco-friendly farmers around the world to bring only the best flowers to her door. We've sent many bouquets from The Bouqs Co to friends and family, and they never disappoint. You can find a full review here.
A cashmere sweater she can wear on repeat
Everlane Cashmere Crew, available at Everlane, $100
Gift an Everlane E-Gift Card, from $25
Everlane's clothing prices are much more affordable than most brands, thanks to its commitment to radical transparency. We also love how soft and cozy its cashmere sweaters are, and bet that she'll probably wear the cold-weather essential every week. It currently comes in 17 colors, so you can choose one that fits her style best.
A signet ring with her personal astrology symbol on it
Zodiac Ring, available at Catbird, $124
Catbird is one of the direct-to-consumer startups making affordable and sustainable fine jewelry, and its Zodiac Ring - like Mejuri's under-$100 Zodiac collection - is pretty, understated, and personalized to her zodiac sign.
A lightweight Fitbit
Fitbit Inspire HR, available at Amazon, $79
Fitbit's Inspire HR tracker is lightweight and affordable, but it has no shortage of useful features. It'll automatically track daily activities like steps and the quality of her sleep, and the heart rate monitor lets its wearers be more strategic about workouts by tracking calorie burn, resting heart rate, and heart rate zones. She can also wear it while swimming, and she'll only need to charge it about once every five days.
Gift a ClassPass Gift Card, from $1
ClassPass makes boutique fitness classes more affordable and convenient. It's a monthly subscription that gives users access to a large variety of gyms and classes in their city for about half of the traditional cost. If she likes to stay active, is looking for a newfound favorite class, or likes yoga as much as barre, this is a great gift she'll actually use. You can read more about the service here.
A Kindle Paperwhite for easy reading on the go
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, available at Amazon, $94.99
We're not denying the enjoyment of a physical book, but an ebook reader is a particularly good option for travelers and commuters. She can access her entire library of ebooks on one slim, lightweight device. We're partial to Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite with its glare-free display and waterproofing, which allows you to read literally anywhere. You can find our full review of the Kindle Paperwhite here.
Fluffy face towels that can hide mascara stains
Makeup Towels, available at Weezie, $40
Weezie makes dedicated makeup towels that are soft enough to rub on your face, fun enough to make a nightly routine something to look forward to, and dark enough to hide the annoyance of makeup stains. We were pleasantly surprised by how much we loved them.
A year-long subscription to Disney Plus
Disney Plus gift subscription, 1-year subscription for $69.99
Give her unlimited access to movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and 20th Century Fox - pretty much everything you two need for any future nights spent at home. You can find everything there is to know about Disney+ over here.
A beautiful candle from a cool startup
Otherland Single Flame Gift Set, available at Otherland, $36
Otherland Threesome Candle Gift Set, available at Otherland, $89
Candles are a failsafe gift, and we tend to recommend Otherland the most for special occasions. The glass tumbler containers are beautiful in person (and easily reused), and scents range from Canopy (fresh fig, herby ivy greens, mint) to Chandelier (champagne, saffron, musky leather).
An intimate cooking class led by a professional chef
Gift Card, available at Cozymeal, from $10
Experiental gifts are on the rise, and Cozymeal cooking classes are one of our favorites. Together, you'll learn how to make anything from fresh pasta to Argentinian staple dishes. In addition to cooking classes, Cozymeal offers food tours in various cities. You can find a full review of the service here.
Coffee from all over the world
3 Month Gift Subscription, available at Atlas Coffee Club, $55
It's a worldwide coffee tour without the expense of airplane tickets. Atlas Coffee Club delivers single-origin coffee and always includes a postcard from the country, brewing tips, and flavor notes with each month's shipment.
An Echo Show with a big display screen
Echo Show 5, available at Amazon, $64.99
Whether she has a host of Alexa-enabled devices or is new to smart home technology, the Echo Show is a fun and useful addition. The latest version is sleeker and more compact than ever before, and it has a bright display for watching her favorite shows, video calling her friends, keeping an eye on her security cameras, and more.
The best socks she's ever worn
Women's Ankle Sock 4-Pair Gift Box, available at Bombas, $56
They may just seem like a basic, everyday accessory, but socks are among the most underrated gifts you can give. Bombas spent two years perfecting its first pair of socks, and we think they got it right. With thoughtful innovations, like a blister tab and cushioned footbeds, she'll quickly notice the difference.
A silky sleep shirt
Bamboo Lyocell Sleep Shirt, available at Ettitude, $70
Ettitude's pajamas are made from 100% organic bamboo lyocell, which makes them exceptionally soft, silky, and breathable. The fabric also uses 372 fewer gallons of water compared to cotton.
A 6-foot-long charging cable
Anker Powerline+ 6-Foot Lightning Cable, available on Amazon, $18.99
If one of the frequent annoyances of her life is a too-short charging cable, gifting her an extremely long one not only solves a daily frustration but also shows that you're listening about the big and the small stuff.
A large print on fine art paper of a favorite memory
Large Format Prints, available on Artifact Uprising, from $20
Artifact Uprising makes luxury prints at accessible prices - and they make especially thoughtful gifts that look like they should cost much more. Get one of their favorite photos printed on archival fine art paper for $20 and up, or thoughtful cards for as little as $1 per custom card. You can also make a color series photo book for $20, a set of prints for $9, and a personalized calendar on a handcrafted wood clipboard for $25.
A leather passport case that's tall enough for boarding passes
Classic Passport Case, available at Cuyana, $95
Cuyana's leather passport holder is the best one I've found - it's sleek, timeless, and has a place for everything. Best of all, it's sized a bit longer than traditional cases so it can fit airplane tickets. It's also easier to find in a bag.
A cult-favorite skincare serum
Glow Maker Serum, available at Maelove, $27.95
There are a lot of serums out there making lofty claims about how much they'll improve skin, but Maelove's Glow Maker really lives up to the hype. If the fact that it was developed by MIT scientists is not enough, it also costs less than $30, and it really will get her skin glowing in no time.
Sweet treats from NYC's Milk Bar
The Sweet Nothings, available at Milk Bar, $65
Instead of the usual box of chocolates, gift some of the best-known and most delicious treats from NYC-favorite Milk Bar. The set includes six cookies in a cookie tin (including the famous Compost Cookie) and 24 truffles.
An assortment of easy succulents
Succulent Assortment, available at The Sill, $30
If she'd like a few plants that are easy to take care of - maybe even more so than flowers - The Sill's succulent assortment is affordable, convenient, and really cute.
An easel to showcase her favorite photos and memories
Brass Easel & Prints, available at Artifact Uprising, $55
This set comes with a beautiful brass easel and 12 memorable photo prints to be displayed on top of it - perfect for at home or on her desk.
A fun, spontaneous trip together
Journy Gift Card, available on Journy, from $50
Airbnb Gift Card, available on Airbnb, from $25
If you want to gift an experience for the two of you to enjoy together, grab a card, a gift card to Journy or Airbnb, and come with a few location ideas in mind.
If you haven't heard of Journy, it's a startup that matches you with an expert travel planner to design the ideal trip for $25 per day - complete with booking hotels, making restaurant reservations, and keeping landmarks and local haunts in mind. If you want to surprise her with a trip already planned, go through Journy yourself and present her with the full, detailed itinerary.
You can also book a hotel in your city on Booking.com or Expedia for a sweet staycation.
Soft, matching holiday underwear
Matching Underwear, available on MeUndies, $36
Get yourself and your girlfriend festive matching underwear - which also happen to be some of the most comfortable pairs we've ever found. MeUndies gives you the option to create your own personalized set - choose from two styles for women, two styles for men, or a mix of both, and then whichever length or cut you and your partner prefer.
A 4-in-1 lens set she can clip onto her phone
Olloclip Lens Kit, available at Olloclip, from $79.99
If she loves taking photos and wishes her phone's camera was a better on-the-go option, pick up an Olloclip lens kit with a fish-eye, wide-angle, and macro lens inside. They work well, and they're easy to use and travel with.
Silk scrunchies that keep hair soft and healthy
Slipsilk Hair Tie Holiday Bauble, available at Beautylish, $25
These silk hair elastics create less friction than cotton ones, which means less breakage and frizz for her strands. If she's not likely to splurge on these for herself, she'll appreciate receiving them as a gift.
A unique, intimate dinner hosted in beautiful homes
Gift Card, available at Eatwith, from $30
Eatwith offers cool dining experiences that bring together delicious menus, professional chefs, and interesting guests. Available in major cities like New York, Paris, and London, they're usually hosted in beautiful homes and rooftops so you can enjoy a cozy and intimate environment with your fellow diners.
A leather weekender she'll own forever
Triple Zipper Weekender, available at Cuyana, $395
If you're willing to splurge a little bit, Cuyana's leather weekender is a beautiful, thoughtfully designed bag she can use as a carry-on or for long weekend staycations. It looks more expensive than it is, and I once packed for a 5-day trip with just this.
