24 Gifts For The Woman Who Wants Nothing This Holiday Season

This holiday season, we’ve found the gifts that feel great to get and even better to give. Shop Well-Received, our collection of editor-approved holiday gift guides, here.

We all have those people in our lives — the ones who say they don't want anything for the holidays. But, come gift-giving season, they're inevitably handing you a meticulously wrapped, thoughtful present, and you can't really be empty-handed. What, then, makes a good gift for the hard-to-please person?

If they have their go-to wardrobe essentials or favorites, look to upgraded versions of those — like a loungewear gift that includes some plush slippers or cozy pajamas. Are they a homebody through and through? Gift them everything they need for a luxe night in. 

Ahead, find foolproof gifts to thrill the fashion-loving person in your life who claims to want nothing this year.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Tortilla Press


For the avid cook on your list, this chef-approved press — which comes in several aesthetically pleasing colors — will have them giving up pre-made tortillas for good. And scoring you plenty of dinner invites (with homemade tortillas) in the new year.

One can never have too many pajamas — especially when they are as cute as this set with an oversized collar from UK’s fashion insider-approved brand Damson Madder, popular for its cutesy dresses and statement coats.

Bonus: It’s made in collaboration with filmmaker Sofia Coppola.

I’ve worn these earrings from Jenny Bird, my go-to brand for everyday jewelry, for the last three months on repeat. They are statement-making enough to elevate the simplest of outfits (see: a T-shirt and jeans) while being light and comfortable enough to wear all day.

Jenny Bird Colette Hoop Earrings, $, available at Jenny Bird

Laundry set


I would actually be excited to receive this photo-worthy laundry set from Dedcool. Made in collaboration with Ouai, the detergent and dryer sheets boast the beauty brand's signature scent Melrose Place. While your practical-minded giftee may not buy this for themselves, they would be thrilled to receive it.

Travel Cosmetics Bag


I've shed plenty of tears over suitcase makeup and skincare spills that have ruined my clothes in transit. None though since I've begun to use this cosmetics bag from the luggage brand Tumi. It's not the cheapest option on the market, but the quality is incredible with a foldable design, four different compartments (that housed my full-size skincare products when I spent three weeks in Europe during Fashion Month), and a hook that can be affixed to a hotel bathroom door or towel rack. Frequent travelers will appreciate this one.

Individually hand-painted and made in New York from 3-D-printed resin, these jelly charms — which also come in blue, purple, yellow, and green — can be paired with chunky bead necklaces and complementary charms for a statement stack, or a chain link necklace for a more subdued take on the look. For a matching moment, check out the equally quirky jelly rings from the brand.

Lot 28 Jelly Charm Raspberry with Pink Dots, $, available at Lot 28

Loungewear


If you're going to add new underwear to someone's stocking, make it from Cou Cou Intimates, known for its consciously made organic cotton undergarments. Better yet get a loungewear piece from the brand.

Beauty gift card


A few months ago, just as my skin started to dull as a result of the transition from summer to fall, I was gifted a membership to the Skin Laundry. After committing to three months of the signature laser and resurfacing facials, it's a gift that I am considering getting myself for 2025 to take my glowy skin into winter. If you want to supplement the gift card (which starts at $50) with a physical present, Skin Laundry also offers a line of skin-care products.

Philippa Frame


“My sister and brother-in-law are moving halfway around the world in a couple of months, and my sister loves having photos around to remind her of home. These picture frames are so much fun and the perfect small size to take with her. Now, she’ll have to decide who to feature — me or her favorite nieces.” —Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director

Classic Faux-Fur Earmuffs


“I’m getting married next year and having my bachelorette party in Park City early 2025. I can’t wait to sport these bright earmuffs with all my other wintery bridal outfits. At under $40 each, I plan on getting two: one in ivory (duh) and one in my favorite color, green. In addition to giving total après-ski vibes, I love that they’ll keep me extra warm on and off the slopes.” —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Waffle-Stitch Scarf


“A chunky scarf is my no-brainer choice for holiday gifting. This waffle-stitch style looks like a snuggly throw — in the best way possible — and is a timeless winter staple that will keep your giftee toasty for many chilly days to come. I love that it almost looks like something I could have knitted myself.” —Venus Wong, Senior Writer

Ramona Couple Glasses


“I received these glasses as a gift and they’ve become my go-to for impressing guests. The lilac-blue color is so pretty (and looks great when mismatched with other colored glasses), and the shape is versatile enough to work for everything from wine to cocktails.” —Irina Grechko, Fashion Director

Floral Bookshelf Game


“Stumped about what to get an in-law or aunt/uncle for the holidays? I always think an elevated board game is a fun and unique option. It gives you an activity to do together, and this particular game can be kept discreetly hidden on a bookshelf all year long.” —Kate Spencer, Sr. Affiliate Partnerships Manager

Lou Benesch x Anthropologie Stargazer Zodiac Ornament

Little Beast Striped Pet Shirt


“Little Beast is my favorite dog clothing brand. (Most of my pups’ sweaters are from there.) They may be in need of an upgrade for the new year, so I’d buy these darling striped turtleneck sweaters for them — and any other dogs in my life.” —Ana Colón, Contributing Editor

RHODE Georgina Sleeveless Square-Neck Colorblock Midi Dress


“I’m extremely behind in securing party dresses this year, but this colorblocked design literally stopped me in my tracks. The velvety bodice and drop waist have me salivating. I can’t even tell you how fast I added it to cart and ordered for delivery by December 25 — A gift from me, to me. I’m so touched.” —Laura Lajiness Kaupke, Contributing Editor

“A gift for my daughters is really a gift for me. (Sorry, not sorry.) I’m loving sweet and whimsical touches in their rooms, and, after finally printing out some family photos, I’m stocking up on fun frames to add personality on their bookcases, shelves, and dressers.” —Laura Lajiness Kaupke, Contributing Editor

Aperture Double Frame


“If there’s one thing that my mother or grandmothers love to receive for Christmas, it’s pictures of my sister and me to proudly display.

A-Journal One Line a Day Journal


“I think this one-line-a-day journal is such a clever gift without forcing your giftee to commit to any lengthy journaling resolutions. It’s even ideal for your non-writer friends. It’s a beautiful remembrance of the year, and writing in it only takes like a minute out of their day.” —Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director

Maeve The Avery Elastic-Back Trousers


“Okay, so these trousers are actually a gift I gave myself — ha! Buttttt if you’re looking for a last-minute present for a fashionable friend, I highly recommend these high-waisted pants. The fit is classic, but the pleats and chocolate brown shade feel so now. I’d recommend sizing down, as they run a bit big.” —Carli Whitwell, Senior Director of Editorial

Velvet Bow Ribbon Hair Claw Clip


“I never thought I’d be as much of a bow girl as I am. Likewise for claw clips. Maybe it’s because I’m a girl mom? Since I’m always throwing my hair up (even right after styling it) so little hands don’t clamp down on my most sensitive strands, I can’t think of a more festive option to enhance my party outfits or add a spirited touch to my work-from-home uniform a.k.a. cozy sweats.” —Laura Lajiness Kaupke, Contributing Editor

"Candlesticks tied with a pretty ribbon are my go-to hostess gift, but during the holidays, adding a classic gold candlestick holder or two makes it even sweeter. They’ll bring festive flair to any table or mantle — and can be enjoyed year-round." —Kate Spencer, Sr. Affiliate Partnerships Manager
