The best gifts for her have birthdays and anniversaries all tied up with ribbon

More playful than the ubiquitous Skims PJs, and in breathable organic cotton, which is a far better summer fabric than modal.

Just an absolute shedload of chocolate. A total skip full. More than anyone might need in one sitting, but there to challenge her if she wants to take up the gauntlet.

By the time you've clicked on this particular hoodie, it's very possible that you find it to be sold out. Don't fear! Adanola's knitwear section is always absolutely bumping with great options.

This might very well be the best fragrance I've ever smelled in my life — and 90 per cent of the female friends who have tested it agree. You can't argue with science.

Made from mulberry silk and designed with a wrap-around fit, a Drowsy is a truly sleep-changing buy.

You can get a lot of things personalised at Not Another Bill, but if you're unsure about a motel keyring or a scalloped cushion cover then champagne will always be there.

Like flowers, chocolate and wine, you might have deployed cheese a great many times as a gift. And while it never gets old, you could always switch things up with a baked twist on the classic.

As you can see from these photos we took at GQ HQ, this bouquet of hydrangeas, white roses and the rest looks just as abundant irl as it does in Arena's representations.

I've tried a lot of skincare in my role as a shopping writer, and Mantle's The Dream Mask is by far the best overnight moisturiser in my book.

Chocolate that turns you on: we have truly reached the zenith of human invention.

The heart-shaped necklace that nobody has been able to get enough of since 2023. Why? Because this Missoma piece is the gold-plated piece worn by Margot Robbie in Barbie. An enduring classic; a girly pop essential.

When it comes to buying lingerie that she loves as much as you do, comfort is queen… and as I've tried this exact set, I know that Understatement excels on that front.

The papaya has escaped the McLaren garage and made it onto the Lego bricks in this MCL39 build. Dell laptop, Mastercard and Velo nicotine pouch totally optional.

Impeccably presented and chunky in its construction, House of Sunny's knitwear isn't only reserved for intarsia landscapes. It's just as effective on simpler, more timeless knits.

Glassware is another very reliable category to rifle through in your search for a gift that appeals pretty much universally. A little more interesting than a mug, but something they'll see and remember you by every day.

Candles are everywhere, but not all of them are worth your time. Daylesford's pleasingly punchy Rhubarb absolutely is, plus you can buy a mini version for as little as £22.

A cotton-blend pointelle thong from Lounge is pretty much as comfortable as high-street underwear gets, and its designs are always delightful, too.

Damson Madder is the cool girl's destination for gingham dresses and colourful accessories. So high is its cultural cachet that even a pair of socks is going to hit the requisite thrill factor.

Everyone likes brownies, and Cutter & Squidge's are some of the very best. Its box of different flavours also fits through the letterbox, making it perfect if you're spending the occasion apart.

Easily my favourite blush on Earth… and by the look of the TikToks, everyone else's favourite too.

Flowers are great. Everyone knows that. But here's the downside: they die within a fortnight. Lego's roses, though? They are immortal.

The Odyssey is a must-read for anyone interested in literature: with Christopher Nolan's blockbusting interpretation in cinemas and this beautiful edition by The Folio Society newly available, now has never been a better time.

Loop's earplugs have been tried and tested in the real world to great effect — and we really put them through their paces, too. GQ staff have worn them at some of the loudest events in the country: a My Bloody Valentine concert and the British Grand Prix.

This French hairbrush isn't only a stupidly pretty reimagining of a vintage beauty tool, but a proven boon for hair types of all kinds. You can add my five-star review to the 600+ already on La Bonne Brosse.

Not all luggage is created equal: some, like Antler's sleek and simple suitcases, even feel somewhat exciting.

Mejuri's luxury pendant is made from real diamonds, making this jewellery must-have more akin to a necklace grail. Add a chain if she doesn't already have one suitable.

Giant handbags and diminutive purses jostle for attention with every passing trend, but a simple and practical tote bag will always be a classic. Tusting's is truly beautiful in British-made suede.

I'm yet to find another lingerie brand that combines fun with sex and vintage sensibilities quite like Fleur Du Mal.

Vagabond makes excellent shoes, but its bags are also marvellous. Don't overlook this brand for either: it is one of the best leathermakers working at this price point.

It might seem expensive, but the wonders I've seen Eve Lom's Rescue Mask work on my dull, pre-menstrual skin makes this extraordinary face mask more than worth every penny.

Yeah, the larger-than-life water bottle is still doing numbers. And the Stanley Quencher is still its poster child.

For fans of coquettes like Addison Rae, Lana Del Rey, or, I suppose, Little Bo Peep.

I love a hotel afternoon tea and a luxury elevenses hamper as much as the next person, but some well-made M&S cakes and biscuits hit the spot, too.

I'd never owned a pair of loafers before I bagged these leather tuxedo monochrome pennys by Duke + Dexter. Safe to say I'm a convert: these are gorgeously-made, comfortable, and destined for eternal wear.

The TheraFace Pro is impressively varied (LED, microcurrent, cleansing) but it's the percussive face massage settings that kept our tester coming back. Tension headaches, puffy skin: be gone.

Sometimes, judging a book by its cover works out for the best, such as when you gaze upon this butterfly bottle of rosé by Lady A and find that the wine inside is just as lovely.

Buy it one-off or sign up for a subscription gift: either way, you'll save buckets on beauty grails via Look Fantastic's monthly edit.

A cutesy addition to the DIY gifting universe.

Not everyone is a fan of the Lush bath bomb, but novelty spheres aren't this shop's only banger. Instead, you could try her on the best-selling Sticky Dates collection, which comes in body lotion, shower gel and body spray iterations in this set.

We're not alone in loving Rains' fabulously simple raincoats: anyone who has been paying attention to Scandinavia and the UK's coolest wet weather dresser will know that already.
