34 Best Gifts for Girlfriends in 2026, According to GQ

The definition of a good gift is wide and entirely too forgiving. When it comes to the best gifts for girlfriends, you want to impress, delight, and feel proud when people inevitably ask what you got them for such-and-such special occasion. No matter the occasion—birthday, Valentine’s Day, random day of the year to show your affection—you just want to win her heart (again). Flowers are a nice gesture, their favorite sweet treat is a welcome weekday surprise, and surprising them with that piece of cashmere they’ve been eyeing is inching closer to gifting glory. It really should be a sport—and luckily, we made varsity.

Our picks are here for every milestone you’ve hit, whether you’ve been dating for years, just made it official, or are one week into a whirlwind romance.
