That's why we took a nuanced approach to curating presents for your mom, sister, daughter, significant other, and best friend. One unifying idea? Whether you're looking for a Valentine's Day or birthday gift, all of our suggestions feels polished and inspired, as opposed to same-old, same-old. While your wife might light up while unwrapping an ultra-plush robe in a sweet stripe print, your childhood best friend might prefer a vintage-inspired signet ring with her initial or a fresh pair of sneakers that not everyone has (yet). The point? Your leading ladies have different interests—some majorly prioritize skin care (if so, bookmark the Nécessaire The Body Ritual Self-Care Kit ahead!), while others take their list-making seriously (she'll love the gingham planner!). Whatever her interests, we've thoroughly covered them all with the following must-have gifts, curated by our editors. 30 Great Gifts for All the Guys in Your Life Vanessa Ungvarsky Custom Nail Polish DIY Kit Courtesy of Uncommon Goods $40, uncommongoods.com She'll skip the weekly manicure if you gift her this DIY nail polish kit, so she can make her own formulas and colors.
