I love getting my sisters’ and friends’ amazing gifts, but they can sometimes be hard to shop for.
Some of them do pretty well and tend to buy what they want or need without any issues, which presents more of a challenge for me. Especially since I’m on a budget.
I figured I wasn’t alone in this, so I put together this guide to help myself and others figure out the perfect gift for your sisters and girlfriends.

1. A Planner
Now I know this may seem like a blah gift, but hear me out. Every woman I know is always working to improve something, their health, wellness, work/life balance and on and on.
I stumbled upon the Happy Planner at Micheals and told my sisters about it, after going out to dinner that weekend we ended up at Micheals where they both picked up a planner and some accessories.
(btw, is there anything more in your 30s than spending Saturday night at Micheals?)
Plus you all can encourage each other to keep up with it and use it to make plans to get together.
I particularly like the Happy Planner because of how customizable it is, we all lead very different lives which means our planners are all very different.
- BACK-TO-SCHOOL ESSENTIALS: A new school year is upon us, and that means it’s time to pick out a new 2022–2023 school-year planner! Our Classic-size planner measures 7" x 9 1/4" and will help you start your year off right.
- DATED PLANNER 2022–2023: Our vertical student planner includes 3 daily boxed spaces that you can divide for different classes and also offers space for weekly and monthly planning.
- PRODUCTIVITY: This academic-year planner includes space to record your schedule, take notes, keep track of homework, and write goals or lists. It fits perfectly on your desk or in your bag, so your plans are just a glance away.
2. Planner accessories
If they already have a planner they love, then perhaps you can just get them some fun accessories.
I’ve learned that stickers can make all the difference when it comes to sticking with actually using my planner.
These “Squad Life” ones can help make making plans to get together easy. Win. Win.

4. Your Favorite Book
Gifting your favorite book or one you’ve wanted to read can give you guys something to do and talk about together. Or if reading isn’t their thing, perhaps the movie or tv version of your favorite book.
My sister introduced me to Outlander via the TV show last Thanksgiving and now I’ve finally started reading the books.
5. Mini Utensils
A few years ago, my sister got me a mini utensil set and I thought, these are cute but when will I ever use them.
I ended up using them ALL THE TIME.
They are my go-to cooking utensils. Admittedly this gift is probably best for someone that is single and typically cooking for one, but if your sister or girlfriend fits that bill, get them for her!
- SET INCLUDES: mini silicone rounded spatula, mini silicone pointed spatula, mini silicone spoon, mini silicone all-purpose spatula, mini silicone basting brush.

6. Bath Bombs
Who doesn’t love a good bath bomb? This is an especially great gift if you have a sister or girlfriend who has trouble treating themselves to lovely but unnecessary things like an amazing bubble bath.
- Create Rich Bubbles & Vibrant Colors: Giving you an entirely new bathing experience. When you toss them into the water they begin to fizz releasing colorful bubbles and skin beneficial ingredients for your skin. While bathing in a tub with fancy colors, enjoy the tantalizing bath bomb bathing experience. It is also pampering to bathe in a tub with a colorful and fragrant water.
- Fizzy with 7 Wonderful Scents: You will appreciate for their aromatherapy benefits, the scent lingers on your skin. If you’re taking your bath in the morning, you’ll want to opt for an energizing scent like peppermint. It wakes up tired skin, a sleepy mind, and helps you face the challenges of the day. If you’re taking your bath in the evening, consider calming, relaxing scents like lavender. You’ll love the way it helps you relax in the bath and drift off to sleep in bed.

7. An Adult Coloring Book
Perfect for the sister that is stressed out and needs an activity that is fun and chill to do.
There are actual benefits for adults who color including improved sleep and reduced stress and anxiety.
8. a Tool kit
Every woman should have a basic tool kit and unless she really loves the color, preferably one that isn’t pink.
A good set below is less than $20, but if you can spare a couple of extra bucks I’d go with the one that includes a level. Hanging stuff so it’s straight is super nice.

11. Make Up Remover Cloth
I do not wear makeup every day, working for myself at home doesn’t require it and I don’t like wearing tons of makeup if I don’t need to.
My sister, on the other hand, wears makeup for work every day and this year I introduced her to make up that actually lasts all day.
Which is great in terms of looking nice all day, but it presented her with a new problem, getting it all off at the end of the day.
This cloth might just be the answer (and she might just find it in her stocking this year;))

Plastic bags are being phased out in so many places, that nearly everyone needs some grocery tote bags, why not gift some super cute ones?
15. Scrub Daddy Sponges
This is definitely a gift that is full-on practicality. But everyone has to do dishes (so really this could be just as good a gift for your brother or male friends), and I can assure you that these sponges live up to the hype.
