3. The happy homebody
She's a cooking aficionado who bakes perfect cupcakes and scones (thanks to The Great British Baking Show) and spent stay-home time last winter cozying up her home and cleaning out her closets ... with a little help from Amazon Prime. Gift her with new updates of basics — a pair of animal print pajamas like the Ann Taylor Cheetah Print Pajamas in russet brown ($79, anntaylor.com) and a pair of Gap Vintage Soft Classic Joggers in brown cocoa, carls stone grey or olive green ($55, gap.com) for a loungewear boost. Add a gourmand body mist like Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa ‘71 Body Mist ($19, sephora.com) with notes of caramelized vanilla and toasted macadamia nuts for a delicious treat.

4. The earthy do-gooder
She recycles, upcycles and has a passion for “natural” anything — from vegan beauty to ethically sourced clothing. Her positive approach to the pandemic included food drop-offs for elderly neighbors, learning to knit and adopting a shelter dog that needed some TLC. Gift her with a cheery sweater like the H&M Conscious Ribbed Turtleneck Sweater in red ($24, hm.com) made from sustainably sourced recycled materials or a new puffer like the Gap Upcycled Lightweight Puffer Jacket in blue cheetah print ($90, gap.com) since it's water resistant and made from recycled materials. Then throw in a vegan bath enhancer like the Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Fizzing Freshness Bath Bombs ($7, target.com) to turn dark winter days into bliss.

5. The trend seeker
She's never without earbuds, an enviable face mask and a pair of the coolest new jeans and sneakers. You might not copy her edgy triple ear piercings or butterfly tattoo, but whatever she's wearing is sure to be on-trend and selling out fast. Make her day with something she doesn't have ... yet. Try a pair of shimmering metallic snakeskin leggings like the Zella Live In Metallic Print High Waist Leggings in black reptile impression print ($69, nordstrom.com) that pair with any black sweater, a personal statement necklace like the Estella Bartlett Badass Silvertone Pendant Necklace ($25, nordstrom.com) or a cushiony silver bag like the Topshop Knotted Half Moon Faux Leather Shoulder Bag in cream or silver ($45, nordstrom.com). It's the newest version of the hobo style, sure to impress any fashionista.

6. The luxury lover
She still has a yen for labels and logos even if only on sunglasses and perfume bottles, craves cashmere and silk (even on a denim-and-cotton budget) and loves to purely browse high-end brands for fun. No need to break your budget to make her happy. Gift a classy gray or black cashmere sweater like the Everlane Cashmere V-Neck ($100, everlane.com) or a pair of cashmere gloves like the Uniqlo Cashmere Knitted Gloves in 09 black ($30, uniqlo.com/us) that also are available in several other colors. For a dramatic thank you, try a single vibrant wow lipstick like the Hermès Rouge Hermes Satin Lipstick in rouge casaque or rose kakra ($67, bloomingdales.com) in the signature orange box. Don't worry — she's sure to wear it under her mask for a secret perk. The stuffer? Try the Loft Face Masks in Multi ($20, loft.com) in zebra, cheetah and leopard for a wild touch.

7. The free spirit
She's adventurous but spiritual, carries crystals in her cross-body bag and uses morning walks to meditate. An individualist who journals haiku poems and gratitude lists, she loves anything that's cool, casual and cosmic. Give her a grownup hippie fragrance like Clean Classic Fresh Laundry Eau de Parfum Spray ($44, sephora.com) with clean notes of jasmine, cut grass and patchouli or a bunch of inspirational slogan face masks like Gap Adult Statement Contour Mask with Filter Pocket 3-Pack in multiblue ($7, gap.com) that say peace, love and hope. Or try a snuggly sweatshirt like the A New Day Women's Fleece Pullover Sweatshirt in camel, rose or teal ($20, target.com) with a modern cropped boxy fit in soft calming hues.
