08 May 2024
What do you get for the woman who deserves everything? We’ve all faced the same dilemma when searching for luxury gifts for mom ahead of Mother’s Day, or when shopping for a friend who deserves the perfect birthday gifts for her.
Well, worry no more. With our list of the top gift ideas for women, you’ll find something special for the woman in your life. We’ll even let you take all the credit.
Gifts For Women
We’ve got a few ideas. And there's only one place to start.
Handbags
One of the top luxury gifts for her. And a perfect option if you’re shopping for a 3rd anniversary, when leather items are the traditional gift. Just like your relationship when it reaches the third-year milestone, leather is strong, durable and has its own set of unique characteristics.
With a handbag, you’re giving her a present that she can keep her life in. One that will help her stay organised, prepared and ready for every day.
We’d know all about that. After all, we’ve been designing them since 1998. In that time, we’ve perfected the recipe, so each and every one of our handbags combines thoughtful design with premium materials and incredible attention to detail.
When shopping our designer gifts for women, there are a few things you can be sure of:
All our leather handbags are made using genuine leather, which is a by-product of the food industry.
This is just one of our leather sustainability promises. We also always use gold-standard leathers from Leather Working Group-accredited tanneries. You can read all about this and more over on our Sustainability page.
Our handbags are made to last a lifetime.
Whether it’s the ultimate handbag that she’ll use every day, or a special style that can be passed down for generations. Our Radley bags make great birthday gifts for her as they are made to last, and it’s all thanks to those premium materials that can withstand the wear and tear of everyday life.
They’re designed by women, for women.
Our in-house Design Team bring our handbags to life. From the first sketch made in our London Design Studio to the final stitch on the finished product, it takes a year to make each one. Follow the journey to find out more about our design process.
Luxury Gifts for Mom
Whatever style she prefers, we’ve got a handbag perfect for every mom.
For the mom who appreciates versatility, consider one of our grab bags with a detachable strap. For the one that’s always busy, our throw-all-in tote bags are big enough to carry work essentials, a gym kit and even more. Then there are the collectibles that you can discover over on Radley World – those intricate designs and signature picture bags make ideal present ideas for women who deserve something as special as they are. Each made with lots of leather appliqué detailing and screen prints.
Leather Care
As we all do, our leather also needs a little TLC every now and then, which is why we have a range of leather care products that will keep our handbags in good condition for even longer. No matter how often she uses it.
Eco-Friendly Gift Ideas for Women
For the women who care for you and for the planet. We told you we have something for everyone.
In addition to our leather styles, we have responsible eco-friendly handbags that do their bit for the environment. Saving plastic from going into landfill, our Radley Responsible collection is made using recycled plastic bottles, reproduced into lightweight, recycled polyester fabric.
We also use water-based PU (which produces less emissions than the oil-based alternative) and cotton approved by the Better Cotton Initiative – the world’s leading sustainability initiative for cotton. Even our umbrellas are made using responsible materials. Which means it’s easy to find sustainable gifts for women here at Radley, no matter your budget.
Our materials are just one way we’re honouring our responsible commitments. You can read more about our goal to be carbon zero over on our sustainability page.
Shoes
Play the role of Prince Charming and find the shoe that fits. Because it’s true when people say that new footwear is one of the best high end gifts for women. From smart loafers to comfy trainers, there are so many ways you can make her day.
One thing to check for when buying shoes for her is the quality – something you can be sure of when you shop our footwear collection. That’s right, we make more than just handbags. Here at Radley, we use the same gold-standard, durable leather across our bags and our shoes. Which means footwear that’s made to last, even if she wears them every day. Make sure you let her know how to keep them in tip-top condition for longer – with our leather care.
Alongside our leather styles, we also have wellies (perfect for dog owners and any woman who enjoys long countryside walks), and sumptuous slippers – one of the best gifts for girlfriends who enjoy a night in. Why not surprise her with the ultimate cosy date night on the sofa? Pick her favourite film, find all the best movie snacks and treat her with a brand-new pair of slippers.
Step this way and shop our footwear collection to get ‘find birthday gifts for her’ ticked off your to-do list.
Purses & Wallets
It’s the little things. Even quality, pocket-sized accessories can be used to show your appreciation for the woman in your life. One of the top designer gifts for women, a leather purse can often be a symbol of good luck and fortune. If you’re superstitious, remember to pop a coin inside the purse you give it.
Just like our handbags, our leather wallets come in all shapes and sizes. From large matinees to small coin purses, or even practical bifold and trifold shapes, this is where you can find thoughtfully designed gifts for her.
Related Present Ideas for Women
For the commuter: she’ll love our perfectly sized cardholder that has room for only the essentials. That’s a travel card, bank card and ID.
For the one who’s always prepared: cash and cards are just the start of what she carries in her wallet. Luckily our large purses also have room for all the extras – receipts, stamps, photos of your dog etc.
For the maximalist: our decorative picture purses are brought to life with lots of colour, mini appliqué, screen prints and foil embossing. We like to think of them as little collectible pieces of art.
For the traveller: we have just the thing to keep her organised on every trip. Our leather passport covers have pockets for her plane ticket, currency and more essential travel documents.
Jewellery
You'll often see this at the top of the list when looking for gift ideas for women. And for good reason. Jewellery proves that good things do come in small packages.
The idea of buying jewellery can be quite daunting when shopping for luxury gifts for her. Where do you start when there are pendant necklaces, charm bracelets, bangles and earrings? And that’s before we even mention choosing between gold plating or sterling silver. We use both of these materials throughout the collection, alongside colourful gemstones, etched logos, enamel details and even freshwater pearls.
First things first. It helps to know what she likes – take note of the styles she wears day to day. Or what she has in her jewellery box. Once you have an idea, head online to browse our jewellery styles.

Earrings: Whether it’s date-night drop earrings, playful huggie hoops or everyday studs, we have earrings for every moment of her life. Some even come in packs of two.
Watches: There’s skill to always being on time. But having the perfect timepiece always helps. Our women’s watches are all made with Quartz movement, and a choice of leather, silicone or metal bracelet straps. Then there’s the smartwatches, which do more than tell time. With touch screen displays, activity tracking and more handy features, they’ll put functionality at the tip of her fingers. She can find full smartwatch instructions here.
