Gifts for Her

Gifts for her: what to buy that she'll actually keep

"Gifts for her" covers wives, girlfriends, mums, sisters, daughters and the friend who's kept you upright all year, so start with the person rather than the category.

The safest good gift is something small, well made and used often. The riskiest is anything that assumes a taste in scent, jewellery or clothing you haven't been told about.

Everything we make is designed in house and posted from the UK, and it ships with the card in one parcel.

What to avoid

What to spend, honestly

  • Close friend or sibling: £15–£30 is the range most people land in. Shop this card
  • Colleague or acquaintance: £5–£10, and a card matters more than the gift. Shop this card
  • Partner or parent milestone: £30–£60, usually one good thing rather than three small ones. Shop this card
  • Group gift: £5–£10 a head buys something far better than five separate presents. Shop this card
  • Children's party gift: £5–£15 is the UK norm, and nobody minds the lower end. Shop this card
  • When in doubt, spend less on the object and more on the message inside the card. Shop this card

Frequently asked questions

What's the best gift for her under £20?

A hand-poured candle or a print, with the card. Both get used or displayed, which is the difference between a gift that's kept and one that's stored.

What should you not buy as a gift for her?

Anything sized or scented that you're guessing at, and anything that implies a chore. Guessing perfume is the single most common miss.

What do you buy someone who has everything?

Something consumable or something funny and specific to her. A candle gets used up; a print that references a running joke doesn't compete with anything she already owns.
