Fellas, Gifting Stationary Is Very in Right Now
A simple gift that says a lotWhether you need something for year-round gifting or special occasions, we got you. If she needs a new piece of jewelry or a sexy lingerie set, give us a ring. And if she has all that stuff and you’re in desperate need of a one-of-a-kind gift to knock her socks off, we also have ideas.
Below, you’ll find a dozen of the best unique gifts for women, including handbags with built-in lighters, a hand-drawn portrait of her favorite restaurant and a photo book of her travels.
Unique Gifts for Women
New York Times Birthday Book
You can read all about why the New York Times Birthday Book is the best gift ever here. But to sum it up: This truly unique, deeply personal coffee table book includes every front cover from The New York Times on the recipient’s birthday, starting with the year they were born.
Restaurants Portrait by John Donohue
Capture the essence of their favorite eateries with a unique, custom portrait from artist John Donohue. Choose from dozens of beloved restaurants in a multitude of cities, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, London, Paris and more.
Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL
Before gifting her a laser hair removal device, be sure it’s something she wants. But according to the women I’ve polled at InsideHook, it’s an excellent gift idea should she have mentioned it (or already spends hundreds on treatments). This at-home hair removal device targets the melanin in the hair follicle, breaking the cycle of hair regrowth, which leads to long-lasting hair reduction for up to one year with continued use.
Kitchen Timer by Dusen Dusen
Kitchen timers, a useful tool but boring gift. A kitchen timer painted with bold colors and a funky little face on it? Now that’s a cool gift.
Papier Wanderlust Softback Photo Book
One of the nicest gifts I’ve ever received was a photo book from one of my vacations a year ago. My memories were neatly arranged in a physical booklet for me to flip through anytime I wanted to relive them.
Magnolia Fingerling Fish Knife
This tiny pocketknife is made by a 200-year-old cutlery company. It cuts clean, but is also extremely cute.
Edie Parker Burn Shoulder Bag
Edie Parker’s shoulder bag isn’t like other shoulder bags — it features a built-in retractable lighter holder for sparking on the go. The hottest accessory of the year, if you will.
Soft Services Theraplush Overnight Repair Treatment
I keep Soft Services’ viral overnight repair hand cream right next to me at my desk. The deeply nourishing retinol cream revitalizes my dry, cracked hands, and looks quite beautiful in its refillable container.
Camp Snap
This is the perfect little camera to throw in your bag ahead of a road trip or long weekend away. Thanks to its no-fuss, compact, screen-free design, it feels a bit like using a disposable camera, except that it has the ability to hold up to 2,000 photos — and take 500 photos on one charge alone. Plus, you don’t have to go through the hassle of getting them developed to enjoy them.
Custom Funko Pop
InsideHook’s travel editor was once gifted a very personal, customized Funko Pop by her partner. She cried.
Jellycat
Believe it or not, the Jellycat stuffed toy phenomenon isn’t just for kids — there are fully grown twenty-somethings raving about and collecting these cozy plushies online.
Recipes By Mail Subscription
Every month, she’ll receive an envelope in the mail that contains a replica of a historical recipe.
