The Best Gifts for Women in 2018

The Best Gifts for Women in 2018

Figuring out the best gifts for women in 2018 shouldn't have been too hard for me. It's not like my wife is subtle about telling me what she wants. Or writing her Christmas gift wish list on an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of paper and hanging it on our fridge. Or leaving Post-It Notes around the house with the heading "Gift Idea" on them, followed by, presumably, a gift she would like me to buy for her.

But I don't want to be stereotypical or sexist or a bleepin' bleep-hole or any of the other words assigned to men who say they know all about women and what they want, so with my collection of the best gifts for women this year, I've tried real hard to run the gamut. You know, not just include vibrators and sexy underwear (though there are some of both!) And no exercise equipment. None. Not even anything that could be construed as exercise equipment.

I learned not to do that the hard way last year.

Note: Prices for items in the collection of the best gifts for women in 2018 are shown as they were at printing. Prices are subject to change.

Grasslamp Modern Desktop Garden

Grasslamp Modern Desktop Garden

Grasslamp designer Marko Vuckovic has developed an award-winning way to combat the darkness, melancholy, and ugliness of being indoors: a grassy knoll for your desktop. Sure, you could fill the space with a houseplant, or a low-maintenance succulent for a lot less, but Vuckovic's Grasslamp brings with it a smooth modern design, LED lighting for your space, and a dirt-free existence.

The Grasslamp cultivates its wheatgrass, or other micro-greens, using only water and LED light. You don't have mess around with, or make a mess with, soil here. The LEDs simulate sunlight, so you also don't have to worry about Grasslamp placement in the home or office.

EEZ-Y Inverted Umbrella

EEZ-Y Inverted Umbrella

With their Inverted Umbrella EEZ-Y has managed to make the first umbrella turned inside out I don't want to throw on the ground and stomp on because it's turned inside out. And in fact, when this double-sided rain shield's canopy is open, its layers are strong and windproof. The Inverted part doesn't happen until you want to put the umbrella down and head inside, at which point a reverse closing system kicks in and flips it over before retracting the telescoping handle instead of lowering it. The benefit: no dripping wet umbrella rubbing all over your clothes when you get in / out of the car, and no water puddles on the floor.

3D Unicorn Underwear

3D Unicorn Underwear

I bet if Juvenile saw these 3D Unicorn Underwear from Knicker Rocker he would think twice before telling the ladies to back that azz up. The panties are quite the statement piece, combining dreamy, fantastical unicorns with sexy lingerie with a definitive warning of the consequences for making any uninvited advancements on the lady wearing them. Skewered by a unicorn. A rough way to go.

LoafNest Super Easy Dutch Oven Bread Maker

LoafNest Super Easy Dutch Oven Bread Maker

The LoafNest kit consists of a 2-piece oval cast iron dome, with a removable silicone liner that sits inside the bottom piece. When baking bread the liner prevents your dough from sticking, and the dome injects it with 360-degree heat - dutch oven-style, but shaped like a loaf of bread.

The benefit of using the dutch oven and liner is that they do all the work for you, eliminating the need to knead, shape, and fuss with your bread dough to prep it. You preheat the LoafNest in the oven for at least 45 minutes, and then dump your risen dough into the liner to bake for another 45 or so.

Prior to that, you'll spend 5 minutes or less measuring out flour, water, salt, and yeast (for the basic recipe) and then about 18 hours sticking the dough in a corner and letting it rise. (Yes, I said it was a super easy process, not a super fast one.)

Flowers & Sparkles Handmade Fishnet Stockings

Flowers & Sparkles Handmade Fishnet Stockings
Flowers & Sparkles Handmade Fishnet Stockings

My wife says Lirika Matoshi's fishnets, handmade stockings with intricate flowers and other ethereal-nature-fairy elements woven in, are works of art. Yeah, I can see that. But what I mostly see is that the tights are fishnets. And flowers. And baubles. And sparkles. And legs. Oh my. I don't think this fashion is from Kansas, Toto.

46"-Tall Wine Glass

46"-Tall Wine Glass

This 46"-tall wine glass is both a step up and a step down from the Guzzle Buddy.

Step up: it holds way more wine. Maybe even a Nebuchadnezzar's worth, though the only measurement I can find for the glass is its 46" height, no info on the globe's volume. Suffice it to say, though, that could be one big ass glass of Cab to drown your sorrows - maybe even your whole body if you're not careful! - in.

Step down: despite holding an enormous amount of delicious wine, the 46" tall wine glass presents no good way of drinking from it. No super long straw. No extra-large sippy cup lid. Not even an oversized ladle for transferring wine from 46" glass to 7" glass punch bowl-style.

Alone. Exposed. Beacons for burgling hands. The BoxLock padlock system aims to provide a secure, but accessible, a smart way to lock up your boxes when they're delivered.

Kelvin Coats Heated Jackets

Kelvin Coats Heated Jackets
Kelvin Coats Heated Jackets

This winter, Kelvin Coats bring on the warm, the toasty, and, in my case, the wife who isn't perpetually staring at me with chattering teeth or goosing me from behind with hands that feel like they just came out of a cryo chamber. Kelvin makes battery powered heated jackets for men and women. Their line includes at least a half dozen weights and styles, each fitted with a network of carbon fiber warming zones you can activate for a heat boost with the press of a button on the coat's left breast.

Hydro Flask Food Flasks

At 12 or 18 ounces, Food Flasks are sized for tucking into work or school lunches, as well as packing on hikes, ski trips, and tailgates. Hydro Flask says they're "like a mini-fridge that you can actually carry." Or a mini heat box, if it's gumbo or chili you've got on the menu today.

Cloud Chandelier

Cloud Chandelier
Cloud Chandelier

It's like sunshine on a cloudy day. Well, as close to sunshine as a warm yellow lightbulb can get anyway. Anyone looking to add some cumulus to their home decor can build the effect with cloud chandeliers ranging in size from 16" x 16" to 39" x 39". The lampshades are made of a lightweight polymer material that achieves a pretty realistic puffy cloud likeness, right down to my being able to see the head of Lionel Richie in their design.

The Womanizer Vibrator

The Womanizer Vibrator

Like a fine wine, and your wife or girlfriend, this lady toy just keeps getting better. The Womanizer shown here comes in Deluxe, Pro, and XL versions, all waterproof and with 8 levels of intensity.

The German-made toy lures in ladies and the hapless, gift-buying men in their lives with its PleasureAir technology, a feature that stimulates the clitoris without direct contact. No, I don't know why that translates to longer, more intense, multiple, and no-fail orgasms either, but the number of reviews containing the word "amazing" in them suggests touchless clitoral stimulation isn't just pseudoscience or lip service.
