Since 1910, WWD — often referred to as “the fashion bible” — has been the leading industry voice of authority for senior executives in the global women’s and men’s fashion, retail, and beauty communities, while also informing the consumer media that cover the market. Today, WWD’s breaking news and trend coverage continues to be a trustworthy resource for both fashion insiders and consumers alike. Our shopping editors continue to uphold WWD’s editorial standards and values with quality, expert-backed product selections.
For all of our WWD holiday gift guides, including this guide to the best gift ideas for women, we spent several weeks sorting through new product pitches from brands; scouring the internet for the most sought-after items; reviewing the popularity of gifts across TikTok and Instagram; as well as researching products celebrities have used or worn over the past year (while also pulling from the archives of our favorite fashion, home, and beauty finds, tested and reviewed this year). Once we narrowed down our list, we then ordered products with our own money, while also asking brands to send product for consideration with zero guarantee of coverage or promotion. After rigorous rounds of testing in our WWD offices, we narrowed down our list of the very best luxury gifts for women to receive this holiday season. Learn more about us here.
