30 Gifts for Girlfriends Who Have Excellent Taste (Obviously)


A good gift is one thing. A gift that makes your girlfriend feel like you really get her? That’s the good stuff. To assemble this guide to the best gifts for girlfriends, I canvassed a few good partners around the GQ office, compared notes with some particularly discerning pals, and threw in a few personal favorites for good measure.

Whether you’ve been together for years or are caught up in a whirlwind romance, the goal is the same: find something she’ll love, preferably something she wouldn’t have thought to buy herself. Flowers are lovely, of course, but we’re aiming a little higher here. From little luxuries to the occasional grand gesture, these are the gifts we’d be delighted to give (and, in many cases, receive).

Feeling generous? We’ve got plenty of good ideas where those came from. Browse the rest of our gift guides, and sign up for the GQ Recommends newsletter for a steady stream of excellent things worth giving (or keeping for yourself—we won’t tell).
