A smartwatch might be the perfect gift for your girlfriend who likes both classy and non-flashy things, especially if she prefers to use Android rather that iOS devices. You can buy the Samsung Gear smartwatch from as little as $149: it'll help her organize her schedule, and it also comes with features like the weather forecast so she'll know how to prepare for the day ahead.

8. iMac

An iMac might seem like a gift with too big of a price tag, but you can currently find a few older models in amazing condition on Back Market for under $200. Or if you have the budget you can always go big and get a 27-inch iMac for your girlfriend for the wallet-friendly price of only $816.

She'll feel like the ultimate girl boss particularly if she works from home. An iMac is essential for anyone who aspires to perfect their projects and store large files due to its generous storage capacity, and its speedy processor allows you to multitask seamlessly.

Video projectors have come a long way from bulky, stationary gadgets. These days, you can find great quality in portable projectors without breaking the bank. This is a particularly fun gift if your girlfriend loves movie night or binging Netflix with you. If the weather is nice enough, you can even bring your movies outdoors and snuggle up by a fire. You can currently find refurbished video projectors at Back Market starting from as low as $114.

10. Camera

A Compact Canon EOS Rebel t7 Camera is a great gift for your girlfriend if she loves taking pictures for the 'gram. Pleasingly lightweight, this camera allows you to carry it around with you as you document your memories together, and has a memory card slot so you'll never run out of storage.

When you shop with Back Market, you never need to worry about quality: we test all our cameras before selling them to ensure they meet their description and don't have any defects.

11. Small Cooking Appliances

If your girlfriend is a foodie that loves to cook, then you should look into a fun kitchen gadget to add to her repertoire. A pressure cooker for example is a great gift to make cooking (and cleanup) a breeze.

The Ninja Cooker fd401 comes in at only $139. Made from durable steel, it has a huge capacity so she can cook for the whole family, and it's really simple and easy to use. There are settings that'll enable her to try all kinds of cooking methods for making stew, sauces, or curries. Plus, it'll complement her kitchen décor due to its sleek and stylish appearance.

12. Over-Ear Headphones

A pair of over-ear headphones will be perfect for your girlfriend if she's a music lover. With soft padded earcups, over-ear headphones are comfortable enough for her to listen to tunes for several hours without irritating her ears. Many models also offer noise-canceling functionalities, so they block out external noise and offer a surround-sound experience.

One popular pick is the Rose Gold Beats by Dre Solo3 Wireless Headphones, which will give her the rich sound quality you can expect from the Beats brand for as low as $135.

13. AirPods

If you think your girlfriend would like something smaller than over-ear headphones, why not pick up the Apple AirPods 2nd gen? These tiny and convenient headphones don't tangle up like earphones, and they fit perfectly in the ear, enabling you to use them while running or doing other activities.

You can buy wireless refurbished AirPods from us for only $95 instead of $129 for a new pair.

14. Radio alarm

Radio alarms might seem like an odd gift, but options for added connectivity can make it a pretty fun one. You can set the alarm to wake you up to one of your favorite songs that you like to sing together and smart radios can even get you connected on a video chat with your friends and family. 

Your girlfriend can also conveniently listen to music while she gets ready for your next big date. Radio alarms with a 12-month warranty are available for as little as $19.99.

15. Cold Press Juicer

If your girlfriend is into health and wellness, look no further than the Cuisinart CCJ-500fr juicer for only $29.99. It comes in various sizes and colors, and she can use it to create healthy smoothies and juices to drink throughout the day. The preparation process takes only a few minutes, and you can regulate the speed of the juicer to fasten up or slow down to create either a thick smoothie or a thin juice.

16. Nintendo Switch

Get a gift that you both can enjoy and buy a 32GB Nintendo Switch for your girlfriend. This is a great gift that she can take on-the-go and play at your place or hers any time. 

Browse the different colors and designs available on the site before settling on the one that suits her best. We realize this is a pricier gift as is, but if it's a big occasion and you're feeling flush, why not pick her up a few games to play with it too?

17. Ice Cream Maker

A must-have for hot summer days, an ice cream maker is always a welcome gift idea for a girlfriend. If she's got a sweet tooth, she can try out new recipes for ice cream, sorbets, and gelato, made with fruits, caramel, and chocolate. The Dash Ice Cream Maker is available on Back Market for only $39.99 and it'll save her (and you!) from making a trip to the ice cream store every time she wants a scoop.

18. Hair Dryer

A hairdryer is a great gift idea for a girlfriend, especially if she loves to get glammed up. Look out for models that are user-friendly and with heat protection, to keep her hair in fabulous condition. Take note of her hair needs: does she want to blow dry it straight, reduce frizz, or add volume? Different models will cater to different hair types.

One of our favorites is the Wahl Professional 5-star ionic hair dryer, which can be picked up for as little as $84.79.

19. Electric scooters

Buy your girlfriend a Soflow SO4UL electric scooter to help her get around town. It'll let her have fun while saving gas, and she can use it to run her daily errands like a trip to the grocery store or a scoot around the park.

Most electric scooters are simple to operate and don't require frequent charging, and they're environmentally friendly so you don't have to worry about contributing to air pollution. At Back Market, we stock scooters in a great range of sizes and colors. A refurbished electric scooter is an affordable choice with some models from as low as $79.

Gifting Refurbished Items from Back Market

If you're still unsure about buying refurbished, here are a few benefits you may not know about:

• Our products perform like new. Our electronics have been repaired, refurbished and tested and they come in original boxes with all the manufacturer accessories and guides that would be included in a new purchase. It's hard for most people to tell the difference.

• Most of our products save customers between 30-70% compared to the price of new.

• All purchases come with free standard shipping, a 12-month warranty, and 30 days to change your mind, so you can feel more secure and confident shopping with us.

• You'll be contributing to a circular economy that helps reduce e-waste by encouraging the use of 'reborn' tech vs new tech (which requires limited natural resources).

• Back Market has a Trade-in program to help you save even more. You can sell us your old smartphone, tablet, game console or headphones and we'll hook you up with some cash and a chance to repair your old stuff so it can find a new home.

Final thoughts before you start shopping

Whether it's Christmas or any other occasion, the perfect gift for your girlfriend doesn't come down to how much money you spend (and most of the time you don't have to spend any). But, if you prefer to buy something, the perfect present should be personal and show that you've put some thought behind why she might like it. You don't need to break the bank to make her happy and Back Market can help make sure of that if you need. From phone cases to laptops, there's something for every budget and every personality. Browse our site and choose something she'll love!
