Luxe faux fur mittens for those winter day dates

Did you know that mittens actually keep your hands nice and toasty a lot better than gloves — because there's less surface area for your body heat to escape, and your fingers can share warmth? Alo Yoga's faux fur pair features a cozy fleece interior and water-resistant exterior, so they're just as practical as they are pretty.

A stylish sleep- and cycle-tracking smart ring

With a new year fast approaching, this sleek wearable is the perfect gift to help her set some health-forward resolutions — it tracks sleep quality, stress levels, physical activity, heart health, ovulation, and more.

A cashmere scarf for looking chic in the cold

When it comes to gifts you truly can't go wrong with, a cashmere scarf might just top the list — it's timeless, super warm, and will last for years and years. This oversized beauty from Quince is made with sustainably and ethically sourced 100% Mongolian cashmere, and it comes in 11 stunning colors so you're bound to find an option that suits your partner's personal style.

The watch coveted by countless it girls

It's not all that hard to see why this watch keeps selling out ever since it launched back in July. Oozing with vintage charm, it features a black leather strap with croco-style texture, stainless steel gold- or sterling silver-plated dial, and handwritten engraving on the back of the face — making it the kind of timepiece she'll never want to take off.

Delicious sweets from a famous NYC bakery

Milk Bar Treats

If your girlfriend has a sweet tooth, send her Milk Bar — the company delivers its iconic and decadent cakes, cookies, and truffles to her doorstep.

A viral candle that smells way better than its namesake

Malin + Goetz Cannabis Candle

Malin + Goetz's internet-famous cannabis candle has a deliciously grassy scent and deep brownish-green wax. Don't worry; it smells nothing like its skunky namesake, but if your partner is less adventurous we also recommend the Strawberry, Tomato, or Bergamot scents in our guide to the best candles.

A weighted throw blanket for better rest

Bearaby Cotton Napper

Weighted blankets can encourage relaxation and improve sleep, and Bearaby's Cotton Napper is stylish enough to be thrown over any couch or bed. With multiple colors and weights for the ideal fit for her and her home, it's one of the best weighted blankets we've tested — and it's machine washable. At $200–300 depending on weight, it's one of the pricier gifts in this guide; for a more budget-friendly option, we recommend the Luna Weighted Blanket, which is typically under $100 and sometimes goes on sale for less than $50.

A mug that always stays warm

Ember Mug 2

If your girlfriend takes forever to sip their tea or coffee, get them this ingenious mug that keeps their beverage for as long as it takes for them to drink it all. It's also app-controlled, so they can use their phone to find the right temperature and presets.

The best bathrobe money can buy

Parachute Classic Turkish Cotton Robe

We think the Parachute Classic Turkish Cotton Robe is the best robe on the market. It's soft, fluffy, and absorbent like a towel. It's also got nice deep pockets and a secure waist tie.

An instant camera she can also use with Bluetooth

Polaroid Now+ White (9062) Bluetooth Connected Instant Film Camera

For the girlfriend who loves snapping pics, give her the option of either using the camera or connecting her phone and directly printing from her camera roll. The Polaroid Now+ also comes with five creative lens filters to unlock even more artistic possibilities.

A versatile styling tool for any hair type

Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System

The Dyson Airwrap is notoriously hard to obtain, whether because of stock issues or its $600 price tag, so our Style & Beauty team recommends the Shark FlexStyle as the closest multi-styling tool on the market. At half the price of the Airwrap, it's still more of a splurge, but well worth it for a girlfriend who's interested in upping her at-home hairstyling game.

The gift of a fun new hobby

The Woobles Beginners Crochet Kit, Fred the Dinosaur

Each crochet kit from The Woobles comes with everything you need to make a crochet stuffed animal (called "amigurumi" in the crochet world).
