20 Gifts For The Woman Who Wants Nothing This Holiday Season

We all have those people in our lives — ones who say they don't want anything for the holidays. But, come gift-giving season and they're handing you a meticulously wrapped, thoughtful present, and you can't really be empty-handed. What then makes a good gift for the woman who wants nothing?

If they have their go-to essentials or favorites, look to luxe versions of those. Have they been rotating between the same two pairs of sweatpants while working from home? Go with a loungewear gift, like some cozy cashmere joggers, or fluffy socks that don't come in a pack of five. Are they still the best-dressed even during the pandemic? Buy them a stylish face mask or a mask chain, neither of which will go unused this season.

Ahead, 20 foolproof gifts to thrill the woman 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.
