The Top Gifts For Young Women In 2025 – Forbes Advisor

Does the young woman in your life stay on top of the latest must-have beauty products or TikTok-famous accessories? Here are recommendations from gifting, makeup and beauty experts to help impress her with trendy gifts that are stylish, practical and sentimental in 2025. 

Trending Tech and Beauty Gadgets She’ll Love 

Shark CyroGlow Mask 

The Shark CyroGlow Infrared Face Mask is a splurge, but it’s worth the investment for skincare-conscious individuals. The high-tech mask uses LEDs, infrared light and under-eye cooling to fight acne and improve the overall appearance of skin.

Alexa Persico, celebrity makeup artist and the founder of Alexa Persico Cosmetics, a luxury beauty brand, suggests the Shark Cyroglow Mask is huge right now among young women because it makes skincare feel like an experience. “Beauty tech is having a major moment. Gen Z loves anything that delivers instant results and looks sleek on their vanity.” 

Heatless Curlers 

Overnight curls, specifically heatless overnight curls, is a trending hair hack for effortless waves. Heatless curls maintain the hair’s health without using damaging heat. The best part is that the giftee can go to bed and wake up with her hair styled. The Sleepy Tie is essentially a scrunchie that preserves a blowout. Hair wraps around it like a bun, then in the morning, wearers wake up with smooth, styled hair.

For shorter hair, the Kitsch Heatless Curling Set might be better. Dry or damp hair is wrapped around the velvet rod, and then, as users sleep, curls are locked into place. Your recipient can wake up feeling refreshed with voluminous hair.

Dyson Airwrap 

The Dyson Airwrap has consistently been a top beauty gadget for its salon-level blow-dry and multi-styler technology. If your recipient is someone who is constantly blow-drying or curling their hair, the Dyson Airwrap is a worthwhile purchase. Though expensive, it saves money that would be spent on trips to the salon and professional blowouts.

For straight and wavy hair, there’s an airwrap option that comes with two curling barrels, a round brush, a fast-drying attachment, a smoothing brush and a flyaway smoother. For curly and coily hair, there’s a suitable airwrap that comes with a diffuser, wide-tooth comb attachment, smoothing brush, curling barrel and a round brush.

Trending Makeup Products 

For makeup gurus, gifting them viral makeup products will be sure to make an impression. The Dior Lip Oil is a popular lip product that softens and nourishes lips with a subtle pop of color and shine. Gift a stunning makeup base with the Saie Glowy Super Gel that hydrates the skin and gives an illuminated appearance. For overall skin health, the Tower 28 Facial Spray is a toner that soothes and purifies skin, protecting the skin from irritants and fighting inflammation.

Hatch Restore Alarm Clock

Early risers will love the Hatch Restore Alarm Clock. Help her get a good night’s rest with the soothing sounds of the alarm clock. When it’s time to wake up, the Hatch Restore gently distributes light to the room, mimicking a natural sunrise.

Smart Watch 

Fitness lovers or the tech-obsessed will make good use of a smart watch. Apple users will enjoy the Apple Watch Series 11 that has health-focused features, such as sleep score, heart rate and blood pressure monitor, vitals app, audible motivation to keep them going and more. It easily connects to an iPhone via Bluetooth, or there are cellular plans available.

The Galaxy Watch 8 is optimal for Samsung phone users. The smart watch has bedtime guidance, running coaching, heart monitoring, nutrition tracking and more. It also connects via Bluetooth.

Kindle 

Gift the avid reader in your life a Kindle. Kindle’s e-readers have a variety of options so your recipient can read anywhere and everywhere, whether it’s in the hot sun on a beach or in her dark room at night. The Kindle Paperwhite has a glare-free display and adjustable warmth so she can read in any light. Kindle Colorsoft brings to life the imagery of physical books with realistic colors.
