Self-awareness is the cornerstone of growth, so it's time for me to admit something...I am one of those hard-to-shop-for girlfriends. Ever since I was young, I've been picky about everything I own, which has made the process of gift-giving challenging for my loved ones. Unfortunately for my partner, that pickiness has only worsened with age (blame it on my career path). I've accepted that I'm not the easiest person to shop for, so I've come up with coping mechanisms—i.e., sharing an entire wishlist with my boyfriend. 

But I'm guessing if you clicked on this article, your girlfriend might not be as extra as I am and has not shared an entire holiday wish list. In that case, you're probably wondering, what should I get my girlfriend? And admittedly, I know that choosing the perfect gift for a partner, especially one you know is picky or already owns a lot of great things, is no easy task. In that case, having a few fail-proof gift ideas to rely on is of the utmost importance.

Luckily for you, I've rounded up the 50 best gifts for girlfriends at every price point, using my pickiness and general fashion knowledge as a barometer for what makes these gifts great. Whether you're shopping for someone obsessed with fashion, beauty, or home décor, these gifts will surely make the special gal in your life gawk.
