HGTV updates women’s gift guide with 63 editor-approved picks
HGTV's 63-pick women's gift guide skips the clichés and leans into personalized, women-owned finds just as Mother's Day spending hits a record $38 billion.
HGTV’s 63-pick women’s gift guide is built for the shopper who wants better than the usual perfume-and-roses formula. Edited by Deanne Revel, the Seattle-based freelance writer and social media host, it blends editor favorites, women-owned companies and personalized gifts into one practical map for people who want the right gift, not just any gift.
HGTV says its editors and contributors research, test and review hundreds of potential items every year, and that shows in the range. The bigger message is simple: shop her taste, whether she loves home, travel, books, coffee, wine or a little everyday luxury. With Mother’s Day spending projected to reach a record $38 billion and shoppers looking for gifts that create lasting memories, the smartest picks feel considered, not generic.
