Buying gifts for the special women in your life can be tricky. What do you buy a person who has everything? What should you gift to someone who's picky about their products?

Our advice is to curate a gift according to her interests and personality. A gift for the lady in your life should be just that: A gift for her. Specifically.

If you don't know enough about the lady you're buying for to purchase an ultra-curated gift, go for something useful from a popular brand. Think: a nice set of towels from Brooklinen, or a tasty-smelling candle from Homesick. Skip the kitschy gift this year and opt for something high-quality that she'll actually use.

We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to get you started on your important mission: Finding the gift of all gifts for the lady in your life, filled with classics that will be useful for years to come, and viral products that will keep her on-trend. From tech products to beauty must-haves, there's a gift for every lady on this list.

Lego roses

Best for Valentine's Day

Get a bottle of wine, a charcuterie board, and this rose-building kit from Lego and you have yourself a fun little date night at home. The 120-piece set comes together fairly quickly, resulting in two red roses that will never (ever) wilt. Designed to be lifesize at nearly 10 inches long, you can even display them in a vase.
