With a calendar full of birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions in a single year, it's always the right time to shop for your loved ones. Maybe it's a sweet present for your mother's milestone birthday, or a luxe present for your daughter, who's expecting her first child. Either way, you'll found yourself in need of something that makes a special statement, but without all the time it takes to make it happen. You need something great, but all those hours of online research lead you to presents that don't quite match the love you have for your special person.

We're right there with you. So we scouted out more than four dozen gifts—including items handpicked straight from Oprah's Favorite Things 2022 list—for women that cover the variety of figures in your life. There are options for those extraordinarily close to you—people like your grandmother, aunt, or best friend—to those you don't quite know well enough yet, but want to forge a new relationship with, like your coworker, a new neighbor, or even a fellow member of a recreational club you're a member of.

The gifts we've selected cover the full spectrum, no matter who you're shopping for. In the following list, you'll find everything from budget-friendly options to bigger investment pieces. It might even inspire you to start stocking up early! But no matter what ends up in your cart, one thing's for sure: These are all gifts that will show her exactly what she means to you.
