13 gifts for every woman in your life


This year’s guide is about thoughtful gifts that won’t get thrown away – and, while we know a few of them are a little pricey, we think they’re an investment. If you can’t afford one on your own, why not go in with your friends, colleagues or family members?

Lots of these gifts are by our Premium members with small businesses, and they’d love you to support them – you know they’ll be doing a happy dance if you do!

The throw-on silk frock by SABA

Best for: Your special person

Okay, so this SABA maxi dress does come in at $449, but we say it’s worth every penny, especially if you’re buying it for someone you love. Crafted from a premium, lightweight linen-silk blend, it has a flatters-everyone v-neckline, adjustable back straps and a sweet print. The breezy fabric will keep you cool and polished on sticky summer days, and it goes extremely well with sandals, a wide-brimmed hat and an ice-cold rosé. Nab it for your mum, dearest girlfriend, or send this link to someone who would love to buy it for you.

 

The good-hair-day gift set by Dyson

Best for: A time-poor mum who needs a boost

Want to give someone the gift of great hair? A limited-edition copper colourway has been unveiled in celebration of the core copper technology powering the Dyson Airwrap Styler, $799, and Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, $549. They’re both time-saving, game changers for hair, and they’re available as part of exclusive gift sets. Perfect for a time-poor mum in your life, your beauty-junkie mate … or, er, yourself.

The coolest cossie by Une Piece

Best for: Your stylish friend

The Positano Collection by Une Piece (founded by Premium member Carly Brown) makes us want to be in Italy swilling an Aperol spritz, stat. Sadly, that’s not on the cards yet, but you can channel some Amalfi vibes in this Classic One Piece, $189, and Original Sexie Rashie Top, $179 – or anything from the collection.

The holiday read by Booktopia

Best for: Anyone under the sun

Nothing’s better than diving into a good book over summer (poolside with a G&T, please). With titles like our own Emma Isaacs’ Winging It, Jen Atkin’s Blowing My Way to the Top and Elizabeth Gilbert’s City of Girls, there’ll be something for everyone – even your bearded hipster cousin (how ’bout this?).
