While it’s obviously the thought that counts, who doesn’t love getting a great present? In our humble opinion, the best gifts for women are practical, yes, but also something they wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves.
So, if you’re looking for a little gift inspiration or just want to #treatyourself, we’ve rounded up some of the best gifts that women are sure to love.

Skeem Design Palo Santo ($65; skeemshop.com)
Consider this the perfect option for your friend who’s always sage-ing her space. Palo Santo is considered a holy wood, burned to ward off bad energy, calm and cleanse the mind, and bring fortune to anyone who does so. (Talk about the gift that keeps on giving.)

Baloo Living Sleep Stone Mask ($64; balooliving.com)
This isn’t just any old sleep mask. The super comfy, light-blocking, sound-muffling mask has a hidden pocket that holds any one of four crystals of your choosing in place directly over your third eye. Better sleep and crystal healing powers? Yes, please.
