  Cozy Earth

  Women's Bamboo Stretch-Knit Long Sleeve Pajama Set

  Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Pajama Set is one of my favorite sets to wear on a lazy Sunday or during a self-care day. The button-up pocketed design features chic contrast piping that lends a hotel-style aesthetic. They make me want to put on my LED mask, pick up my Kindle, and sip on sleepy girl mocktails until I doze off. Made from 95 percent bamboo viscose and 5 percent spandex, this knit blend is cooler and more breathable than cotton. Cozy Earth introduces new colors and prints each season, though the lighter shades can be somewhat sheer. If your giftee is over 5'7", I recommend the tall inseam. Sizes range from XXS to XXXL.

• Cashmere Cardigan

  Mongolian Cashmere Oversized Boyfriend Cardigan Sweater

  I’m absolutely in love with Quince’s Mongolian cashmere collection. The Oversized Boyfriend Cardigan is the ultimate wardrobe staple for three out of four seasons. It’s not just perfect for sweata-weatha fall; it’s also cozy for rainy spring days and during the chill of winter. The fisherman rib detailing is uber-coastal, a charming touch to an already flattering and versatile piece. If your giftee is more of a sweatshirt gal, you also can't go wrong with the Fisherman Pullover Hoodie ($120) or the Full-Zip Hoodie ($120).

  SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

  The future of self-care is here, and it looks like a sci-fi horror movie. The Dr. Dennis Gross SpectraLite FaceWare Pro is on every woman's wish list, using red (630-nm red and 880-nm infrared) and blue light (415 nm) therapy to reduce breakouts, firm skin, and smooth out fine lines—all while making her look like a Transformer. It's FDA-cleared and comfortable to wear during the quick but effective three-minute sessions. It's also wireless, so she can do her skincare routine while doomscrolling, meditating, or plotting revenge. See more mask bestsellers in our guide to the Best LED Face Masks.

• A Smart Chef

  Breville

  Smart Oven Air Fryer, Noir

  If I have to feed myself, I want a kitchen appliance that does most of my labor. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Noir is that appliance. She’s goth. She’s gorgeous. She air-fries, slow-cooks, and bakes with zero complaints. There are 11 preset functions, to be exact. I don’t know what all of them do, and I don’t care, because she knows. I don’t want to think about settings, and with Breville’s Element iQ system, which auto-adjusts temperature for precision cooking, I don’t have to. There’s even an app, which I didn’t download, because I’m busy. You can check out more of our Air Fryer picks here.

• Facial Therapy

  TheraFace Depuffing Wand

  Therabody's TheraFace Depuffing Wand doesn’t leave my side during travel. It combines hot and cold therapy to tackle puffiness, improve circulation, and better absorb skincare products before application. The curved applicator and precision tip zero in on tricky spots, like under the eyes or across the jawline. The Depuffing Wand has three preset temperature levels for each mode. The cryotherapy is consistent throughout the six-minute session—plus, it won’t drip or crack if you forget about it in the freezer like traditional ice rollers. (Don’t put it in the freezer.) There’s also a little light that flashes at the three-minute mark to remind you to switch sides, though you’ll miss it if you’re too busy staring into your soul in the mirror.

• Fidget Trinkets

  Speks

  Odds Silicone Fidget Magnets

  These Speks Odds Silicone Fidget Magnets are here to help you survive your stay in the stress-stricken simulation. Each set comes with three palm-sized magnets, encased in soft and textured silicone, that are designed to keep your hands busy while your brain zones out. I can’t stop fiddling with them when I’m watching TV and during Zoom calls. I can’t risk losing them by taking them outside, so they’ve found a home on my desk.

  Speks also sells starter kits and gift bundles packed with other fidget toys. I loved the Moon Jelly Gump Memory Gel Stress Ball, until I handed it to my boyfriend for five minutes and he popped it. Men ruin everything.

• Mapping the Cosmos

  Celestron

  StarSense Dobsonian Telescope

  If she needs a break from reality (or perhaps is scouting for new planets), the Celestron StarSense Dobsonian Telescope is a unique gift. It offers some of the best optics you can get for under $1,000, and its Celestron StarSense app makes celestial navigation easy, even for first-time stargazers. WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson says this Newtonian telescope, with its two-axis altazimuth mount, is not too heavy or difficult to operate. This means she can use it in her backyard or haul it to a remote desert where she can pretend humanity doesn’t exist for a while.

• The Gift of Pleasure

  Namii Suction Vibrator

  Get her the Namii Clitorial Suction Stimulator & Vibrator. It’s tiny. It’s mighty. It’s hands-free (!!!), made of soft silicone, with five vibration patterns and five suction intensities. It’ll blow her mind and then blow it again. It even sits on a cute glowing charging stand that doubles as a nightlight. Gift the Namii to your bestie, or to your partner if you want to spice things up (any sex toy can be a couple’s toy with a little creativity).

• The One-Pitcher Solution

  BrüMate

  Togosa (49 ounces)

  The BrüMate Togosa gets it. It’s a wine chiller, pitcher, or whatever you need it to be, because we no longer have the patience for single-purpose objects. Slide in a pre-chilled bottle, twist the lid shut, and let the BevGuard triple-insulation keep your drink icy without ice, condensation, or a watery demise. When the vibe shifts from pinot to sangria, swap out the chiller lid and pour in your batch of whatever (up to 49 ounces). The leakproof strainer lid also keeps fruit, ice, and other garnishes from pouring through. And because being checked out of Earth doesn’t mean trashing it, its lids are made from 13 recycled water bottles, some finishes are dishwasher-safe to conserve water usage, and the vessel itself is built to last for a lifetime. (If for some reason it doesn’t, BrüMate also offers a lifetime warranty.)

• A Personal Theater

  Sometimes, the only way to check out is to beam yourself into another world, preferably one with juicier plotlines. This projector has 450 ISO lumens and 1080p resolution, with 4K support and color calibration. The gimbal stand tilts 165 degrees for projecting on walls, ceilings, or the back of an RV. The included hard-shell case is great for portability and easy storage. It runs for 2.5 hours on a single charge, and it's power bank-compatible, so you can watch from anywhere. Its AI-powered setup takes care of autofocus, screen fit, obstacle avoidance, and keystone correction, so she doesn't have to fiddle with settings with every tectonic shake. For more projectors, check out our guide.

• Smart Mindfulness

  

  Courtesy of HoMedics

  Not everyone has the square footage for a full-on meditation temple, but this 11-inch wonder is compact enough to fit on a console or side table. The teeny metal sphere slides through sand, fabricating spellbinding patterns that lure your mind into a tranquil trance. With over 100 hypnotic designs and ambient light options, it’s a customizable zen garden. You can tweak the speed, soundscapes, or even commence a guided meditation through its companion app. It’s mindfulness made smart, so she can get some peace at least for a few minutes.

• Blast Off

  Deco Gravity Bong

  The Deco Gravity Bong is here to defy more than just gravity. Handmade from thick borosilicate glass, this tabletop beauty isn’t just functional—it belongs on display. Aesthetically, it delivers an old-world opulence that makes you feel like you’re lounging in a 1920s speakeasy. It’s also discreet enough to blend into your glassware or home decor collection. It’s composed of four easy-to-clean components—shell, core, 14mm bowl, and a silicone gasket—that are also replaceable if something shatters, so she doesn’t have to shell out for a whole new set. The orchid colorway is sold out, but you can still find it in petal, baltic amber, charcoal, emerald, or clear.

  The Everywhere Tote is for the woman who is going where the universe takes her. It has everything one might need for far-flung travels: a 16-inch padded laptop sleeve, a handful of interior pockets, and a water-resistant nylon exterior for when you’re caught in an otherworldly atmospheric anomaly. Available in elemental shades like coast blue, sea green, and clay pink—it’s at home anywhere, from the gym to an impromptu odyssey. If she needs to jet off on a moment’s notice, it’s got a key clip, a trolley sleeve, and an exterior pocket for her wallet and passport. It also meets airlines’ personal item requirements.

• A Hair Dryer That Will Survive the Apocalypse

  L’Oreal Professionnel

  AirLight Pro

  If we must eke out an existence on this planet, we might as well have perfect hair while we do it. The AirLight Pro uses near-infrared light, high wind speed, and controlled heat to dry hair faster, more quietly, and with less damage than most traditional hair dryers. It leaves strands 33 percent more hydrated and 59 percent smoother, all while using 31 percent less energy—which is more than we can say for most people in power.

  It’s not cheap, but it’s only slightly pricier than a Dyson SuperSonic and unlike the Dyson, it’s repairable if something breaks. Bonus: It works abroad, so whether she’s escaping to a tropical vacation or an underground bunker, at least her hair will be fabulous.

• Slip Into a Simulation

  Reality is overrated. Why not log off this timeline and into another? The Meta Quest 3 is our favorite VR headset, offering pure escapism in an untethered PC-free package. It's lighter and comfier than its predecessor, with better visuals, improved object detection, and hand tracking. According to WIRED contributor Matt Kamen, the metaverse is pretty much a ghost town … which is great for us; the fewer dudes, the better. Come to think of it, how cool would it be if we did take over the metaverse? We could call it the FemmeVerse. (All right, I'll keep brainstorming.)

• A Personal Alarm

  She’s Birdie

  Original Birdie

  Walking home alone at night on this planet is an absolute nightmare. If she can’t teleport away from creeps, she can at least blast a 130-decibel siren and flashing strobe light in their direction. The Birdie is a small but mighty alarm that will (hopefully) deter attackers and alert anyone nearby for help.

  I’ve used the original model for over a year (see my thoughts in my guide to the Best Personal Safety Alarms), and it’s given me peace of mind whenever I’m walking solo. The Birdie+, which I have yet to test, adds some useful features like location sharing, emergency support, and even a fake call function for a quick exit strategy. Plus, it comes in the cutest patterns. My one caveat is that this wouldn't be my first choice for a birthday gift or Valentine's Day, as it's kind of a downer.

• The Government Wishes It Knew You This Well

  If she’s training for a marathon, tracking her stress cycles, or just wants hard data to justify why she feels like garbage, the Oura Ring 4 is the most stylish health tracker out there. Packed with advanced sensors, it monitors heart rate, skin temperature, sleep quality, and stress levels. WIRED editor Adrienne So has worn one for years, and it remains one of the only wearables that can reliably predict her menstrual cycle. Plus, it works with both Android and iOS, so she’s not locked into a single tech ecosystem.

• For the Pain in Her Back

  She’s been carrying the weight of the world for far too long. The Hyperice Venom 2 Back melts away tension with targeted heat and vibration therapy. With three heat levels (up to 131 degrees Fahrenheit) and three vibration settings, it stimulates circulation, loosens tight muscles in the lower back, and offers relief when you’re sitting at your desk for eight hours trying not to scream. It also doubles as a soothing heat pad for period cramps. Best of all, it automatically shuts off, so she can zone out without worrying about turning it off. Check out some other options in our guide to the Best Massagers.

• Therapeutic Eye Mask

  The Therabody SleepMask is a game-changer during flights. Where else would I have to block out every living being than the airport? I can confirm it is 99.9 percent (is anything ever 100?) effective at blocking light. The standout feature, though, is that it uses three vibration patterns designed to lull you into a deeper sleep. The contoured padding feels like pillows on my eyelids, and the adjustable strap keeps it in place without tugging at my hair. I tend to wake up multiple times at night, but with the SleepMask, I can just turn on another session of the vibration, and it usually puts me back to sleep.

• Build-a-Galaxy

  

  Courtesy of Lego

  She may not be able to move to another planet, but she can build a 3D model of the Milky Way from the comfort of her home. This 3,000-ish piece LEGO set recreates the spiral galaxy, turning our jumbled universe into galactic home decor. The finished piece can be mounted on the wall as a daily reminder that Earth is just one of billions of planets we believe exist—surely, at least one of them has better men.

• Self-Cleaning Litter Box

  If I could outsource every task on Earth to a robot, I would—and that’s why I’m an owner of the Litter-Robot 4. After your cat goes, it waits a bit, then tumbles the litter to sift out the clumps, which drop into a hidden waste drawer below. It even syncs to an app that tracks how often your cat(s) go, how much they weigh, and whether the waste drawer is full. It is expensive. It does struggle to tell my two cats apart, but it’s trying its best. And, I’ve had some issues with leaking, but customer service has been super responsive. I’ll take that over manually scooping poop ever again.

• Self-Cleaning Bottle

  

  Courtesy of Larq

  Yes, you read that right. The LARQ Bottle PureVis (as seen in our guide to the Best Reusable Water Bottles) is a self-cleaning, reusable water bottle that uses UV-C light to sterilize itself every two hours. No more moldy smells, biofilm buildup, or questionable aftertastes. It’s double-insulated BPA-free stainless steel and the charge lasts three weeks—so she doesn’t have to worry about germs while she’s fighting the patriarchy. The PureVis 2 also includes a filter, but it tends to slip off inside the bottle, so I can go without it.
