49 best gifts for daughter-in-laws to show her she's family

The popularity of LED face masks is soaring to new heights right now, and rightfully so. Leading the charge is CurrentBody, whose Series Two mask has become a sell-out success in a matter of months. Unlike the OG, it features adjustable cross-back straps and coverage of the chin. Like the OG? With consistent use, it can serve glow, rejuvenation and reduced appearance of fine line, scars and blemishes.

I've long been a fan of Elemis – along with thousands of other women in the UK – favouring their Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and Cleansing Balms are stalwarts staples in my skincare routine. If your daughter-in-law loves them as much as I do, treat her to this skincare gift set, which contains four bestsellers from the brand.

For the daughter-in-law who is forever booking holidays, Harvey Nichols' The Weekender kit is a great gift. Proving popular with GLAMOUR readers this festive season, it contains £185 worth of beauty heroes exclusively curated by the brand's expert Beauty Buyers. Expect brands like Sol De Janeiro, Caudalie and Color Wow, alongside a scrunchie from Damson Madder, all nestled inside a reusable washbag which she can take away on her next trip.

One of the most-purchased products by GLAMOUR readers in 2024 has been the UK Lash eyelash growth serum, which serves longer, more fluttery lashes in a matter of weeks.

Is your DIL a devoted dog mum? Got you. Damson Madder – one of the hottest brands of the year – is the place to head. They recently dropped a homeware collection which not only features the coolest oven gloves, tea towels and cushions ever made – but the most epic, leopard-print dog bed, too. Top gift-giving points for you.

Boots, the backbone of the British high-street and adored at Christmas for speedy delivery of fail-safe Christmas gifts, has dropped a new Star Gift at better-than half price. It contains £180 worth (!) of No7 cosmetics and skincare for just £80. Our favourite product? The No7 Pro Artist Base Perfecting Primer, which serves the softest, blurriest base for foundation.

Leopard print trainers are set to be one of the biggest sneaker trends of 2025, stemming from the unveiling of the latest Adidas and Wales Bonner collaboration. So many brands are now getting in on the action, including sustainable, on-demand fashion brand Alohas. This pair are so cool.

The greatest darling of PerfumeTok and one of the hottest fragrances of the year, Phlur Missing Person, is worthy of a place in any discerning daughter-in-law's beauty bag. Give the gift of a full size and travel-size perfume this Christmas.

Forget what you thought you knew: Kurt Geiger isn't just a treasure trove of gifts for the colour-adoring, maximalist daughter-in-law in your life. Rather, the minimalist, too. We love these cosy, slide-on slippers for the one who loves staying in.

For younger daughter-in-laws, consider this cute and preppy knitted vest from Levi's. Best paired with her 501s, it's perfect for layering whatever the season.

Loved by the likes of Bella Hadid, Victoria Beckham and Priyanka Chopra, anything by luxury skincare brand 111Skin will be a real treat for your daughter-in-law. The Skin All Over Radiance Set is curated to serve glow and radiance, with products that draw on ingredients such as colloidal gold to address inflammation, damask rose extract to enhance the skin barrier and niacinamide to brighten skin tone.

Your daughter-in-law is never far from her iPhone – but does she have a cool case to protect it? If the answer is no, make a beeline for The Dairy, who stock the cutest selection of iPhone cases we've ever laid our eyes on. This bow-adorned design is our favourite RN.

When compiling our gift guide for daughter-in-laws, one gift just wasn't enough. Enter, the second: the brand's Youthbomb™ Mind-Blowing Glow Trio, which serves a triple dose of intense, high-performance youth-boosting.

Sorry, but how cute are these Christmas-themed biscuits by Baked By Steph? Steph started her brand back in 2019 as a way to channel her creative skills into something edible – and she has been adding a personalised touch to GLAMOUR editors' gifting game ever since. The perfect stocking filler, these intricate biscuits are a sure-fire way to her sweet-treat-loving heart.

Yes, we're featuring a fair few pairs of pyjamas in the gift guide, but is there really a better present to receive? Thought not. We love the print-clashing on this Free People pair.

For the caffeine-charged daughter in law, head to Grind – the London-based brand that has just dropped a merch collab with Sophy Hollington. Featuring Sophy Hollington’s magical and mystical moonlit illustrations, this bundle contains a tin of coffee and a set of cups and saucers – housed inside a gift bag.

If she's a corporate Queen who desperately needs some down time, trust me when I tell you there is no better gift than a voucher for Face Gym. Best described as a workout for your face, Face Gym facials are – in equal parts – energising and relaxing. There's a handful of different salons around London, and the service is impeccable. I can't recommend this gift enough.

I've been after a pair of red ballet flats for a really long time, so if I was someone's daughter-in-law (I'm not, yet), I'd be sticking this bejewelled, leather pair on my wishlist.

You're after something small and dainty: a festive treat to go alongside another daughter-in-law gift you secured sometime during the Black Friday sales. Our top recommendation is Astrid & Miyu's adorable little cosmic bauble, which can be hung on her Christmas tree and houses the most beautiful of 18k Gold Plated Recycled Sterling Silver earrings.

We told you Damson Madder homeware is good. This set of tea towels is one for the maximalist daughter-in-laws, whose homes are full of print and joy.

Hunza G isn't just home to iconic crinkle swimsuits. It's home to this exclusive Maison Games x Hunza G marble acrylic backgammon set, too. Guaranteed to elevate games night, it's playful and bold, with an updated sporty design which comes in a sleek gift box. So cool.

The scarf coat trend has been huge this AW24 – it's exactly as it says on the tin. A coat – often woolen – with an integral scarf, which you can fling over your shoulder or wrap around your neck. Toteme paved the way in the world of luxury buys, but M&S has followed suit with a sub-£100 option. If you want to look like you know what's what in the world of fashion, this gift will seal the deal.

The daughter-in-law who is always dripping in the most beautiful of jewellery will cherish a home for it. Enter: Oliver Bonas' timeless and enduring glass-topped jewellery box, which is just as elegant as she is.

The Beauty Standard is a first-of-its-kind beauty box service, founded by two of kindest London-based females. Rather than being purchased on a subscription basis, which often feels wasteful, they're designed to be purchased as one-offs, making them lovely gifts for daughter-in-laws, or for yourself. They don't contain throw-away travel-sized products – rather, full-sized products from the most ethical and innovative brands in the industry. It's such a lovely ethos.

There are different themes to choose from, including a self-care box and one which promotes rejuvenation, but the latest addition to the collection is Be Restful. Perfect for helping them switch off over Christmas, it contains everything from a scented candle to sleep mist and bath salts.

Look like you know exactly what's hot on TikTok with this Sol De Janeiro body-care gift set. They'll be transported directly to balmier climes with thanks to velvet plum, sugared violet, vanilla orchid and sheer sandalwood-scented body wash, body butter and Sol De Janeiro body mist.

As a hard-to-please Shopping Editor, I ordered some Peachaus pyjamas on-a-whim lately, desperate to upgrade my sleepwear collection ahead of the festive season. I don't know about you, but PJs are all I wear between December 21st and January 2nd.

According to founder, Gilly, Peachaus creates “beautiful, long-lived clothing that unites expert craftsmanship, innovation and sustainable production practices with a free-spirited aesthetic," and these over-sized, striped pyjamas really caught my eye. I sized-up, and can confirm they are the comfiest, coolest and chicest pyjamas I've ever put on. If you see me out in them before New Year's Day, no you didn't.

For the one who struggles to switch off, Urban Spa vouchers make the perfect gift. The process is easy: your daughter-in-law scrolls through the plethora of treatments available on the app (massages, pedicures, manicures, pregnancy treatments), and then books for a therapist to come to her home and deliver. She can switch off and relax without leaving her living room, and the service is impeccable.

Elevate the quality of her kip – and her skin and hair when she wakes up from it – with a silk pillowcase. The benefits of sleeping on one of these, as opposed to a cotton design, are far-reaching – and while expensive, LilySilk is behind the best.

I was stopped in my tracks when I was served an Instagram add for this cute, mushroom-shaped lamp, and I picked it up immediately. It's such a fun addition to any work from home space.

I've always found it hard to sleep, but Dreem Distillery's CBD Body Oil really helps me to switch off. Intensely nourishing, it's formulated to restore equilibrium to the skin and senses before sleep. It contains 100mg of Dreem Distillery High-Grade CBD and nutrient-rich botanicals to hydrate and soothe the skin for elevated and efficacious relaxation.

For the sporty daughter-in-law who always seems to be in the gym, we love Alo Yoga's Accolade Hoodie. Best thrown atop her gym leggings and sports bra to keep her from catching a chill.

You heard it here first: a pair of Flabelus ballet flats are most definitely on her Christmas wishlist. Preferably, the Sethe pair, crafted in black velvet with brown piping and black velvet lace.

We can't think of a daughter-in-law who wouldn't appreciate a makeup bag upgrade, particularly when the makeup-bag-in-question is as cute as this one. It's from Spell, a B Corp brand which was birthed in Australia by sister duo, Elizabeth and Isabella. They use eco friendly fibres and sustainable supply to chains to limit their environmental impact, and stock beautiful dresses, robes, intimates, co-ords and accessories.

Mafalda is a brand we're loving right now: based in London but stocking leather shoes and bags designed and crafted in Brazil. For the city-loving daughter-in-law always on-the-go, this phone bag is the perfect addition to her already-very-chic accessories collection.

Dainty and beautiful just like her, this gorgeous friendship bracelet from Monica Vinader expresses the love you have for your daughter-in-law – and can be engraved with her initials or a special date.

Celebrity facialist Dr. Barbara Sturm knows a thing or two about curating an effective skincare routine – starting with the fact that there are certain switches you should make during the colder months. She could spend hours researching, or, you could make her life easier by picking up this Winter Kit: a curated selection of skincare that is particularly lipid and antioxidant-rich to boost hydration and to seal, protect, and nourish the skin throughout the cooler months.

Shock, horror – another pair of pyjamas. This time, a pair of luxury pyjamas, from none other than Olivia Von Halle. While her coveted collaboration collection with The Carlyle NYC is all-but sold out, this timeless white pair isn't. For the daughter in law getting married, we can't recommend them enough.

Founded in NYC, Milk Makeup formulates vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free colour cosmetics, each designed to be user-friendly and multi-purpose. Their lip glosses are no different, delivering high-shine through a non-sticky formula.

If your daughter-in-law has just relocated, a gift to upgrade her home interiors game will be so appreciated.

For the home-body, this hand wash and hand-cream duo is a wonderfully-affordable gift that is guaranteed to take pride of place atop the basin in her downstairs loo. Expect notes of black pepper, juniper berry and tonka bean.

Barbie-mania is far from over. To celebrate 65 years of Barbie, Mattel has released My Barbie™ Story, a gorgeous collection of personal essays about the famous doll from the likes of Dina Asher-Smith, Claudia Schiffer, Adwoa Aboah, and many more. This coffee table book is ideal for a teenage girl – especially if they love all things pink. Oh, and Mattle is donating 100% of the book's proceeds to UN Women, a charity working to empower women across the world. Win-win.

In case you missed it, CINTA is all about cool knits, so look no further for some of the best cardigans, accessories and jumpers for a cosy Christmas slumber.

Give the gift of glow this Christmas – a natural, sun-kissed glow (not an orange one), with this bitesize Tan Luxe gift set. Almost the entirety of the GLAMOUR team favours Tan Luxe when it comes to giving their complexion that just-returned-from-holiday look in the darkest depths of winter – so we're pretty sure your daughter-in-law will be a fan, too.

As timeless and classic and she is, this beautiful jewellery gift by Ottoman Hands is highly coveted. ICYMI, Ottoman Hands is a sustainable, hand-crafted jewellery brand which puts recycled metals and semi-precious gemstones at the forefront.
