Let’s face it: Finding the perfect gift for that cool girl in your life can feel like a high-stakes mission. Maybe your best friend is the human embodiment of all your Pinterest boards. Maybe your sister is the type of person who has her finger on the pulse of every new trend. Or maybe you’re not afraid to claim that Cool Girl title for yourself. And yes, It Girl may be a broad term that gets thrown around a lot these days, but this type of person calls for the most specific (and perfect!) holiday gift, which is why we all need this Cool Girl gift guide.
As a woman, I will acknowledge that finding the best gifts for other women can be a challenge. The perfect gift feels thoughtful, intentional, and of course, personal. You want something that feels thoughtful and screams, “I saw this and I immediately thought of you!” And let’s be real, with endless options and the overwhelming pressure to get the perfect gift, decision fatigue is so real.
But not to worry! If you just so happen to draw this cool girl’s name when you play Secret Santa with all your gal pals, consider your problem officially solved. Read on for gifts that are perfect for the beloved cool girl in your life.
- Bed Chem Sleep Kit ($30)
-
This sleep set is the perfect gift for the Carpenter in your life because — let’s be real — all Carpenters are It Girls. The kit comes with two satin pillowcases that are (appropriately) printed with “Bed Chem” lyrics, a sleep mask, and a drawstring bag. It’s the perfect gift for building camaraderie… if you know what I mean.
- Rhode Fall Lip Case ($38)
-
With the release of their Fall Duo lip tints, a rhode phone case in the shade espresso is the perfect gift for your cool girl. That is, if she hasn’t purchased this for herself already.

- Dior Makeup and Skincare Set ($86)

Gossip Girl It Girl Serena van der Woodsen once said, “Lipstick lasts longer, but gloss is more fun,” and personally, I’m a firm believer in that motto. If your girl is, too, then this limited-edition beauty set is the perfect gift for her. It not only comes with the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer and Lip Glow, it also comes with Dior’s Capture Totale le Sérum. And as an added bonus, the elegant packaging is a gift all on its own.
