Even if your girlfriend says (and means!) that she doesn’t need a gift to be happy, giving gifts is a great love language to have. It never hurts to show up to a given holiday with a sweet, heartfelt gift for your girlfriend that she'll truly love. And with all the options out there, it can be overwhelming to find that one special thing that will make occasions from her birthday to Christmas as memorable as possible.
The most romantic gifts for your girlfriend are the ones that tell her that you know her. Supporting her interests, her arts, and her hobbies can mean a lot to the special woman in your life. But sometimes you need a helping hand. That’s why we've curated a 40-item list of gift ideas for girlfriends of all kinds.
We’ve gone through our product testing and recommendations, and also scoured the Internet, for great gifts for all occasions.

From holiday season shopping to “just because you’re special,” here are our favorite gifts for any occasion.
