Perfect Gifts for Women in Their 20s
Perfect Gifts for Women in Their 20s
By MacKenna Sherer — December 6, 2025
A 20-year-old woman may be the most complex person to shop for: not quite a child anymore, but certainly has the spending habits of an adult. Most of them aren’t asking for a Kitchen Aid or a car detail (yet), but they don’t want another gift card to Pacsun while being told, “It’s just easier if you pick out what you like!”
So, what presents do girls in their 20s want? If this question is plaguing you during the holiday season, Square is here to help. We’ve curated the perfect list of 10 things that women in their 20s actually want. Written by a girl, for girls, to make sure you nail gift giving this Christmas.
1. Sweat Sets
There’s nothing better than a comfy, cozy sweat set to wear to class. Check out brands like Alo, Comfrt, and White Fox to find the perfect crewneck or hoodie and matching sweatpants.
2. Monogrammed Robe
The customizable bathroom essential that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s for walking around the house, getting out of the shower, or prepping for a girls’ night, a monogrammed robe is the ideal personal and comfortable gift.
3. Neutral Shoes
It’s essential to have one good pair of shoes that can match with any outfit. Look at Steve Madden, Nike, or Veja for good-quality shoes in neutrals such as white or black.
4. Luggage Sets
Contrary to popular belief, traveling for the holidays can be stress-free when you have the perfect luggage. Quality carry-ons, duffels, and backpacks can be found at popular luggage sites like Béis. Go the extra mile with toiletry bags, travel bottles, and more at retail stores such as Target or Homegoods.
5. Bags and Purses
You can’t go wrong with a new bag or purse. Play it safe with the essential “little black bag” or add a classic to the collection with designer products.
6. Coffee Machine
The morning necessity we all want—and oftentimes desperately need—to start the day off right. If your loved one is all about easy-to-make coffee, a Nespresso or Keurig machine is the way to go.
7. Airfryer
Talk about easy when it comes to kitchen gadgets! Skip the dirty pans and emergency calls home with an air fryer: get a higher-grade option from Ninja or find one as low as $30 from Walmart.
8. Activewear
From Lululemon and Vuori to Fabletics and Gymshark, athletic clothing can be worn anytime, not just at the gym. Try a new legging and tank top set, or browse a collection of these brands’ zip-ups and long sleeves for the colder season.
9. Pilates/Yoga Equipment
Give a matching pilates or yoga set with color-coded bands, weights, and a mat to the girl who loves to hit the studio every day.
10. A Dyson Airwrap
As a popular, in-demand gift for a few years now, there’s a reason why everyone loves the Dyson Airwrap. It is easy to use and provides minimal heat damage and a lasting hold.
