No one knows your sister(s) as well as you do, but that doesn’t mean you also know the perfect gift to get her for her birthday or another special occasion. Just like picking out a present for your mom or your brother, finding something you know she’ll like and doesn’t already own seems nearly impossible—but it can be done! Trust.
If you need a little guidance, try picking items that complement your sister’s unique personality and style, like a high-tech tool for the beauty-obsessed or a designer dress for the super-trendy. Or if your sister is really into astrology and consults her horoscope on the daily, you could also go that route with a zodiac-inspired gift that features her sign. Or, let’s be honest, if you’re really tired of your sister stealing your stuff all the time, get her her own pair of shoes, earrings, perfume, or whatever she’s constantly taking from your room. (It’s a win-win.)
Below, you’ll find 44 gift ideas for women (and teenage girls if you’ve got a younger sib) that are sure to impress your hard-to-please sister who already has everything. Who knows, maybe (just maybe) she’ll actually let you borrow it in return.
