Here, 80 incredible gifts for women to unwrap this year.
Classics for Everyone on Your List
Finding that perfect gift for the special someone in your life may seem daunting, but rest assured these gifts have earned the title of classic for a reason. Métier’s card case, handcrafted in a small atelier in Italy, is practical but not at all boring, while Rodin’s tried-and-true face oil will leave everyone, quite literally, beaming.
Beauty Bounty for the Makeup Obsessive
No matter what type of cosmetics enthusiast she may be, she’ll most certainly fall hard for any one of these beauty goods, like Westman Atelier’s collection of brushes made in Japan and Dior’s limited edition blush, which is embossed with busts dressed in the house’s haute couture gowns. Should you want to spoil her, a stamped leather case from Hunting Season and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the perfect place to stash it all.
Swag for the Fashion Fanatic
It can be a challenge to shop for someone with particular taste, but some items are guaranteed to make any fashion fan smile. This season we could all use a little “More Joy” and there’s no better way to spread that message than a face mask from Christopher Kane. Alternatively, who could resist a pair of dazzling rhinestone-encrusted hearts as stud earrings from Balenciaga.
Gear for the Top Chef
Both kitchen newcomers and cooking aficionados would appreciate a few chic culinary supplies to stock their kitchens this season. Let Material’s nine-piece set spruce up her kitchen countertops, while a colorful cast-iron pot from Le Creuset and a printed apron to match would be sure to make any woman smile.
Conscious Presents for the Sustainably Minded
Whether she shops sustainably or you’re looking to shop more responsibly this holiday season, these conscious but covetable gifts for women make it pretty easy to give an eco-friendly gift. Skip the packaging and gift wrap with shampoo bars from the Package Free shop, or say goodbye to single-use items by giving a logo-stamped reusable water bottle from Prada. When shopping for a classic gift like pajamas, sneakers, or jewelry, consider something that’s made from recycled or responsible materials, like Nike’s newest running shoes made of plastic bottles and scraps or Laura Lombardi’s recycled brass chain-link bracelet.
Special Treasures for the Woman Who Has Everything
Is there anyone harder to shop for than the friend who always seems to have the latest and greatest? Instead of trying to get your hands on a limited edition drop before she does, turn instead to a singular keepsake, such as a hand-carved facial massager made from Teotihuacán obsidian and mahogany wood or a luxe walnut domino set (equipped with streamlined stainless steel silver pieces) from Brunello Cucinelli. The award for the most epic present, however, goes to Chanel’s perfume poured into a Baccarat crystal bottle which has been infused with 24-karat gold powder.
Feel-Good Pleasures for the Homebody
As we continue to social distance and burrow away indoors, who could say no to a gift meant to be enjoyed at home? There’s an extra-large candle from Diptyque, which will fill rooms with the sweet scent of rose, Entireworld knit pants (cozy and chic), and a journal complete with writing prompts and self-care rituals.
Fashionable Decor for the Stylishly Inclined
Surprise your fashionable friends and family members by gifting arty home decor made by the designers behind their favorite ready-to-wear and accessory brands. Now that we’re spending more time in our homes than ever before, a sculptural candlestick from Anissa Kermiche, a warming scent from Loewe, or a cozy pillow from Bode will be endlessly appreciated.
Outdoorsy Delights for the Cottagecore Camper
Those who have been staying in the country, like to go camping, or who simply have embraced prairie style would be pleased to unwrap a few of these wonderful gifts. A sleek, stainless steel, three-piece bar set from High Camp would allow them to bring a cocktail or bottle of wine on any adventure. It even comes with two detachable tumblers to share. A pair of shearling-lined weatherproof boots, a classic cable-knit sweater, or pair of colorful woolly socks would give the gift of maximal coziness, while a soothing bath soak infused with rose hip oil and jasmine would provide a spa-like experience following a day of winter excursions.
Must-Haves for the Exercise Enthusiast
Fitness fanatics will welcome these sophisticated additions to their workout routines. From marble dumbbells worthy of display to a slip-free yoga mat, these gifts will ensure those on your list start the New Year off on a healthy, happy note.

Ray J’s NSFW Confession Shares Awkward Flirt Fest with Nicki Minaj On Instagram Live
Regarding social media dynamics, Ray J and Nicki Minaj’s collaboration is always a spectacle. Their Instagram Lives create buzzworthy moments, whether spilling tea or engaging in playful banter. However, on November 26, things escalated to new heights. Depending on how you see it, their chat took an eyebrow-raising turn as Ray J dropped a bombshell NSFW confession that left even Nicki Minaj speechless and viewers equal parts amused and utterly baffled.
It all started innocently enough, with Minaj grilling Ray J on some of their usual whirlwind of topics he made concerning Diddy. However, the conversation took a bizarre turn when Ray J decided to, quite candidly, share some details about his personal preferences. Ever the queen of comebacks, Nicki Minaj questioned his comment about “getting his groceries eaten,” asking for clarification. Specifically, he boldly confirmed his enjoyment of a certain intimate act, casually adding, “I always get in the shower before I have sex, so my ass is always gonna be clean.”*
Nicki, caught entirely off guard by a detailed explanation she wasn’t ready for, looked simultaneously confused and horrified. Sensing her reaction was a mix of disbelief and reluctant amusement only fueled his boldness. The awkward hilarity of the moment was enough to leave fans pausing and rewinding the video clip to see every second of her visibly perplexed face wrestling whether to laugh, grill Ray J further, or log off, screaming, “Did he really just say that?”
Much to Nicki’s dismay, things took an awkward turn when Ray J pivoted the conversation into shameless flirting behavior. He gushed poetic about her beauty, suggesting that even the mere utterance of his name was enough to “turn him out.” Trying to defuse the situation, Minaj dismissed his comments, but Ray J only doubled down, biting his lip seductively on camera while complimenting her. If awkwardness were an Olympic sport, Ray J might’ve snagged the gold medal.
Even the queen of holding her ground, Nicki quickly shut him down. “Don’t ever do that [again] in your life,” she warned sternly. After Ray J failed to rein in his antics, she delivered an ultimatum: stop, or she’d end the call. Predictably, Ray didn’t double down, his compliments flowing as freely as his earlier confessions, offering another apology laced with admiration. The rapper, clearly fed up, issued a final warning: “Stop playing like that, it won’t be the ending you want.” True to her word, Minaj promptly hung up, leaving viewers to process one of the oddest exchanges in their ongoing IG Live saga.
Throughout the chat, Nicki confidently navigated Ray J’s playful flirtations, maintaining her characteristic composure (mostly). While this may rank as their most bizarre live session to date, one thing is sure: these celebrities know how to keep people talking online, leaning into the absurdity of it all. Whether people love it or are shaken by it, fans can’t help but speculate about what unpredictable antics the duo will share next.

Trey Songz’s Legal Woes Take a Costly Turn With Judgment To Pay A Police Officer $11 Million
Once celebrated R&B superstar Trey Songz, a name synonymous with chart-topping hits and smooth vocals, now finds himself in the middle of a legal storm carrying the weight of a judgment ordering the artist to pay a staggering cost of $11 million to Tyrelle Dunn. A Las Vegas court judge ruled against the singer in a case brought by Tyrelle Dunn, a Maryland Capitol police officer, over an alleged 2021 altercation that left Dunn physically and emotionally scarred. The judgment, stemming from Songz’s non-response to the lawsuit, underscores the gravity of the allegations.
The case revolves around a harrowing 2021 incident at a Las Vegas hotel. According to Dunn, in the plaintiff’s lawsuit, his wife was escorted by the defendant’s security personnel to Songz’s hotel room 6014 under the pretense of a meeting with the artist. Once inside, she was allegedly assaulted, with her phone confiscated when she tried to leave. Hearing her screams for help, Dunn rushed to intervene while attempting to rescue his wife, only to face a violent confrontation himself. The aftermath was devastating: Dunn suffered fractures to both eye sockets and injuries to his nose, ribs, and head. He described the attack as life-altering, leaving him with lasting physical and emotional scars.
The 911 call made by a hotel worker reveals the troubling aftermath of an incident involving a man named Dunn. The call indicated that Dunn had been “battered” and robbed of his money and chain. The seriousness of the injuries was apparent, with Dunn requiring a lengthy recovery time, which caused him to miss over a month of work. What complicates this case is its dual nature. Although singer Songz was found innocent of any criminal wrongdoing in April 2022, the civil lawsuit proceeded, ultimately leading to the default judgment. Songz’s refusal to respond or participate during the legal process effectively sealed the decision against him, raising questions about his strategy or lack thereof in addressing such severe accusations and claims.
For Dunn, the court decision represents a measure of accountability, offering a sense of justice for an incident that he shared continues to impact his life daily. “The attack has had a profound and everyday impact on my life,” he stated, emphasizing the enduring emotional trauma extends far beyond just the physical injuries he suffered.
The judgment could have significant financial and reputational repercussions for Songz. Whether he plans to appeal the ruling or remain silent on the matter is yet to be seen. One thing is sure: the memories from that night in Las Vegas will stick around long after the courtroom battle is resolved. This case is a stark reminder of the far-reaching consequences of personal actions and public identities that can have lasting effects and sometimes lead to difficult situations.
