    The hard-working professional on your gifting list sets a high bar herself, both in terms of her career and her style. Polished attire, luxe home devices, and smart tech accessories (in both the literal and sartorial sense) are her signature, whether it’s an elegant speaker for streaming her in-the-zone playlist or a striking piece of jewelry that accents that day's look. Even working from home, she’s organized and on-point no matter what the workday serves up. All-day PJs? Not a chance. She always gets dressed, even if it’s a comfy-sleek formula of a great top, cool joggers, and a great pair of earrings. Pieces that meet her standards can be very hard to scout—so we did the work for you. Ahead, six gifts she’s sure to love, from designer tech accessories to scintillating lab-grown diamonds.

    $196.46 AT AMAZON.COM

    A rose-gold Bang & Olufsen speaker is the chicest way for the boss-lady in your life to listen to music while answering emails, proofing projects, and brainstorming ideas ahead of a team meeting. If she’s the type to level-up from her iPhone speaker, it’s equipped with a built-in microphone for hands-free calls.

    3. Montblanc Muses Marilyn Monroe Ballpoint Pen
    $800 AT BLOOMINGDALES.COM

    The career-driven woman on your gifting list never overlooks the details. She’ll often go the extra mile with a hand-written note—whether she’s pitching a new client or congratulating a co-worker after a big win—making this elegant ballpoint pen a well-considered gift.

    4.Gucci AirPods Case

    What multitasker wouldn’t appreciate a multi-wear iPhone case from Alexander McQueen? In glossy croc-effect leather with the brand’s signature skull at the front, this one is elegant and edgy in equal measure. She can style it cross-body, toss it on her shoulder, or hold it by the luxe gold chain.

    6. nordstrom.com E8 Automatic Coffee Machine
    $PRICE AT NORDSTROM.COM

    A bespoke coffee will keep the boss woman on your gifting list one step—if not several—ahead of her busy schedule. For an efficient barista-quality brew at home, this state-of-the-art Jura machine is a winner. The sleek touch screen and CLEARYL water filter with RFID technology for automatic detection is one thing. But even better, it’s built with an innovative Pulse Extraction Process to maximum the aroma and flavor with eight intensity levels to customize any coffee lover’s drink.
