If you've landed on this page after a frantic Google for the ‘best gift sets for women’, I thank you. Gone are the days when you could get by with a gift box of So…? body sprays and, while the brand holds a special nostalgic place in my heart (read: my year 8 PE changing room), I have outgrown the heady scent of candy sugar. Nine (!!) years on from my Babylips, Dream Matte Mousse days, my taste in gift sets has matured, and in 2023, I've been bookmarking everything from Glossier's best-selling's best-selling skincare to the Le Labo candles that Selena Gomez is into. 

I'll admit, finding a gift set for her doesn't scream ‘I just grabbed the first thing I saw in the beauty hall’ is hard. You don't want to come across impersonal, nor do you want to leave the giftee with a trio of deep conditioners for curly hair when her's is as straight as an arrow. That said, there are gift sets for women on the market that don't come across careless, and I made it my mission to find them. A taxing job, I know, but someone has to do it. Starting with the brands I know the GLAMOUR reader loves (secret intel etc. etc.), together with some research on what the whole wide web is searching for, I set out to find the gift sets that won't end up returned, regifted or, heaven forbid, stuffed at the back of some disused cupboard. 

A lot of shoppers are in pursuit of a perfume gift set, while others are filtering their search by age: best gift sets for 50-year-old women, for example. So, after excluding the sets that don't include any of the cult products we actually want to get our hands on, and swapping them out for ones with Touche Éclat, Olaplex No. 3 and the like, I finally touched down in the buying guide equivalent of Liberty London. Reader, I present to you a carefully curated selection of the very best gift sets for women. Not a bar soap in sight, scouts honour.

One of the most popular picks from Moschino's fragrance collection, this Toy2 perfume gift set presents notes of fresh apple and mandarin, with underlying floral echoes with a hint of musk.
