Best Christmas Gifts for Women

September 20, 2019

The holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year, but let’s be honest, the joy isn’t exactly evenly distributed — especially when it comes to shopping. Sure, there is always a blizzard of cool new toys and video games pitched at kids, and plenty of sports equipment, tech devices, and power tools marketed (somewhat unfairly!) at men. But, without fail, each Christmas gift season, women wind up receiving receive the short end of the candy cane — they get targeted with ads featuring gifts to buy others, but there’s only a comparatively light flurry of great Christmas gifts for women making it into TV commercials and shopping guides.

Because it’s better to give than receive, we here at MASSE are here to fix this holly jolly injustice. As a community-driven site, we’ve put together a list of the best Christmas gifts for women, as recommended by shoppers who have really given and received the gifts that they’re reviewing. We don’t allow any paid reviews or sponsored posts on MASSE, because we’re not interested in any shady internet tricks that might steer your in the wrong direction. You can trust that all of the items on our list of best Christmas gifts for women are there for the right reason — they’ll be a big hit with the women who unwrap them on Christmas morning (or, you know, whenever they get a minute to themselves).
