Hey girl, today let’s chat about the best small gifts for sister that she will be obsessed with.
Your sister has been there for you for everything big and small, and what better way to say thanks for it all than to shower her with a few small gifts for sister?
I have 6 sisters (and 1 brother – I just can’t leave him out) ranging in age from about 28 to 43. This is no joke – not half-sisters or stepsisters either, 6 full-blooded sisters, and they all mean so much to me.
I always get asked, what number are you? Well, I am 3rd in line. Anywho, since they are all so near and dear to my heart, I love to get small gifts for my sisters now and then for them.
Just because we are going to go over small gifts for sister does NOT mean that everything on this list is cheap. There is a wide price range of sister gifts here, perfect for everyone’s budget.
Whichever small gifts for sister you pick, I can assure you that your sister is going to have all the feels.
These small gifts for sister are great for your sister’s birthday, as Christmas gifts for sister, baby shower gifts for sister, and even as sister in law gifts.
Let’s jump into the best small gifts for sister that you are going to want to pick up for yourself!

Best Small Gifts For Sister
1. A Card
Are you looking to brighten your sister’s day? Send her a card through the mail. No question about it, this will warm her heart!
I always keep blank cards on hand. They come in handy as thank you cards, birthday cards, and this- small gifts for sister.
Take it up a notch by adding in a gift card to her favorite coffee shop.
2. Flowers
Send her a small bouquet of flowers. If you know her favorites then go with those.
I never know anyone’s favorite flowers so I always tell the florist how much I have to spend and to toss something colorful together for me.
3. Candle
My good friend gave me this candle last year for my birthday and I am hooked. Your sister is going to love it as well.
The best part, you can pick it up at Walmart.
It is fragrant until the very end.
4. Chocolates
I have yet to meet a woman who doesn’t like chocolate!
So, getting your sister chocolates or her favorite treat is an easy choice for a gift.
5. Snacks
If you want to get your sister something salty to go with those sweets, toss in her favorite snack.
You could go with popcorn, nuts, chips, and on and on.
6. Lip Balm
This lip balm, this one…I am obsessed and now my sisters are too. The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask repairs even the driest of lips.
Your sister is going to go bananas over this and you might as well put one in the cart for yourself.
I know it says lip sleeping mask but girl, it is so good that you will want to wear it all day too.
7. Sugar Body Scrub
I originally picked up this Tree Hut sugar body scrub for my niece for Christmas but I was so intrigued that I got one for myself as well.
And girl, let me tell you, my skin feels so good after I use it. Your sister is going to love using it too.
I spent the time to smell every single scent in the line and my favorite is the Coco Colada.
8. Bath Bombs or Shower Steamers
Help her relax after a long day with bath bombs or shower steamers.
They also make the bathroom smell so good.
9. Lotion
There are so many lotions to choose from but I always go with my tried and true – Aveeno Fragrance Free lotion.
It will help your sister get the softest and most hydrated skin. I love the travel size since I always want to keep one in my bag.
If there is a better lotion I should be trying, let me know in the comments below.
10. Hair Mask
She is going to flip over this Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair hair mask. Just after using it 1 time, she will see a difference in her hair.
There are different sizes with different price points so you can spend as much or little as you want.
11. Hair Towels
Toss in a hair towel or 2 with that hair mask to make her hair amazing!
This towel helps to dry hair faster with less frizz.
I have fine curly hair that is prone to frizz and this hair towel is a staple for me to help make my hair look the best.
12. Hair Accessories
And to stick with the hair theme, grab claw clips or hair binders too.
These are gentle hair binders that won’t damage her hair or leave dents in it.
13. Nail Polish
You can’t find a smaller gift for your sister than a new bottle of nail polish.
I love the Essie polish and if she puts a clear top coat on, the color stays for a long time.
14. Travel Mirror
Every woman needs a compact mirror and a travel mirror. I know your phone camera in selfie mode works in a pinch but it is just not the same.
These mirrors are something your sister doesn’t even know she needs until she has them. Then she will be like, how did I not have these before?!
15. Jewelry
Are you helping your sister celebrate something special like a big birthday milestone? Get her jewelry that she will cherish for the rest of her life.
You can’t go wrong with something classic here.
Shop the collection at Shane Co. I promise you and your sister won’t be disappointed!
16. Jewelry Travel Bag
Does your sister love to travel with a selection of jewelry? She will be able to keep it secure in this jewelry travel bag.
17. Makeup
Does your sister wear makeup? Restock her collection.
If you aren’t sure what she is wearing these days, these are my go-to's and I love them. I have dry to combo skin.
18. Makeup Bag
Your sister will be able to keep her makeup safe while on the go with this makeup bag. There is a place for everything in this bag.
19. Perfume
Does she love wearing fragrance? Get her a bottle of her favorite perfume or body spray.
Or check out Valentino Donna Born in Roma and DIOR Miss Dior. These 2 smell so good that any woman would love to wear them.
Let me know in the comments below which perfume is your favorite.
20. Water Bottle
We both know that good water bottles are all the rage right now. So, whether your sister already has one or not, it doesn’t matter – she can and will use another one.
Of course, I am talking about the Hydro Flask and the Stanley Quencher!
21. Coffee or Tea
Is your sister in love with coffee or tea? It is a small gift that you know she will use for sure.
I never used to be a coffee drinker but now I have 4 kids. That should be explanation enough.
Starbucks Espresso Roast is my favorite coffee and has been for a while. What's yours?
22. French Press
If coffee is her caffeinated drink of choice and she doesn’t have a French press yet, you have to get her one.
My sister introduced this to me and it is the best way to make coffee.
23. Yeti Tumbler
To top off the warm drink category, include a Yeti tumbler. Even if she has one, she will use this new one too.
I have 3 of them, 2 were gifts thankfully, and I use at least one of them every single day.
24. Can Cooler
Let’s not forget about alcoholic beverages. The Bru Mate can coolers are legit!
They make a regular-size can cooler and a can cooler to hold all the skinny drinks.
Her drinks will stay cold to the last drop.
Do you have a favorite skinny can drink? My oldest sister got me hooked on High Noon.
25. Cozy Socks
Your sister will love snuggling up with these cozy socks. They are so soft and warm and they have little grippers on the bottom of them.
I got them for my sister and she said her feet now stay so warm when she works from home.
26. Scarf
Most of my family lives where we could use a scarf at some point during the year. And this scarf is the best.
It is soft and lightweight but helps to keep you warm. There are so many colors and patterns to choose from.
27. Hat
Have you ever found a good hat and have been like, my sisters need this one too. It doesn’t happen to me very often because I have a bigger head for a lady.
But this summer hat and this winter hat are dynamite.
28. Digital Picture Frame
She is going to be obsessed with this digital picture frame. It is fantastic to see all those pictures she takes with her phone but never does anything with, especially if she has kids.
The best part is that she can send the pictures to it directly from her phone.
29. Book or Magazine
Get her a new book or magazine that you know she would be interested in.
Send her a good book or favorite magazine.
My sisters and I have a virtual book club every month. We all take turns picking a book and the discussion is great for bonding time!
Do you have any good books we should try out? Let me know in the comments below.
30. Kindle
Take her reading to the next level with a Kindle.
I have had mine since 2015 and have used it every single day since. Tell your sister to check e-books out from the library to save some money.
And please get the cover to go with it. I am careful but my Kindle has been dropped from time to time.
31. Ornament
Did something big and exciting happen to your sister over this past year?
My sister and her husband bought their forever home so I got them an ornament.
Just a little something to help them remember it.
