'I'm the resident gift giver in my group. These are the presents I'm shopping during Black Friday.'

In every friendship group and family, there's that one person who somehow becomes the unofficial gift giver.

You know, the one who remembers every birthday, curates care packages, keeps lists of everyone's favourite (and not-so-favourite) scents in their Notes app, and will always track down the perfect present, no matter the occasion.

Well, that's me. And as the designated gift giver, I take my role very seriously, especially during Black Friday.

Watch: Here's what your Black Friday game plan should look like. Post continues below.

For me, it's the perfect time to lock in thoughtful, beautiful gifts for all the women in my life without blowing the budget. And yes… I've already started buying presents for birthdays in mid-2026 (because, according to girl maths, this is me saving money in the long run).

So if you need ideas that won't end up, well… being re-gifted, here are the gifts worth snapping up for your girlfriends, your mum, your sister and basically any special woman in your life.
