The 52 Best Gifts for Girlfriends of 2023

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

5

View On Amazon View On Nordstrom View On Sephora

We know, we know, $600 is a little (a lot) bananas to shell out for a hair dryer. But hear us out. The investment-worthy tool has enough high-tech features to make your head spin, everything from intelligent heat control that checks the temp more than 40 times per second to minimize damage to a motor that can propel up to 13 liters of air per second for speedier drying. It’s quiet and incredibly lightweight, and, especially for those who blow-dry on the regular, truly a game changer.

Goshi Exfoliating Shower Towel

5

View On Amazon View On Walmart

Make no mistake about it, this is hardly anything like a traditional washcloth. Nor is it like a loofah or scrub brush. Rather, it’s a pseudo-hybrid, offering up some of the best manual exfoliation out there. Made from 100 percent recyclable nylon (which can also last up to six months and is very hygienic), it relies on two different types of interwoven threads to buff off dead skin cells and help soap lather up beautifully.

Tata Harper Illuminating Moisturizer

View On Amazon View On Nordstrom View On Bloomingdales

You really can’t go wrong with any of the products from this clean beauty brand, but this moisturizer feels especially special and gift-worthy. It probably has something to do with the fact that it’s infused with real diamond dust to create a beautifully subtle luminescence on the skin, while hyaluronic acid imparts plenty of lightweight hydration.

Still, it can be turned on or off, which we appreciate; we also love the fact that it comes with three sizes of ear tips so you never have to stress about them popping out. Don’t forget to add custom engraving to the case to make this an extra special gift.

View On Bluemercury.com View On Neiman Marcus

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: You really can’t go wrong with a great candle. And this one in particular checks all of the boxes.

It comes in three sizes at various price points, but this jumbo size is a showstopper if you’re after a big ticket item.
