Top Christmas Gift Guide for Women in 2009
Anything that verges on interior design is dangerous. Jewelry is good, but awfully personal and it can get quite expensive. It’s also wise to take into mind the storage space available to your loved ones. If their home tends to look a bit crowded, it may be kinder to give them something small or consumable.
Remember — with gifts what you’re really looking for is three things.
Something that really speaks to their taste or their hobbies, something that they’d like but wouldn’t be likely to buy for themselves, and finally, something that shows that you care about them and put some thought into their gift (which, honestly, ties in pretty closely to the first point).
Gifts That Say I Like You
Notebooks – A beautiful, handmade, ecologically friendly notebook or diary.
The gift of quality tea - A white or rooibus tea with a delicately made tea infuser.
Scented Candles - Gloriously expensive scented candles with beautiful stones, potpourri, or carvings in the wax.
Decadent Chocolate - Custom chocolates (it’s a classic for a reason). And if they’re nice enough, you won’t be able to afford enough of them to really wreck her diet.
Monthly Gift Subscriptions – Subscription for wine or chocolate or flowers that are delivered monthly.
Organic – Expensive organic creams and lotions that she’d never buy for herself.
Pod Espresso Machine – The gift of espresso in a pod will last all year long.
Designer Reusable Lunch Bag – Will help her save money on lunch and get rid of those ugly brown paper bags.
Sock Slippers - Fuzzy, warm sock slippers to keep her cozy during the winter months.
Lap-Lesk - A lap-desk for the woman who always uses her laptop on the couch.
Nice Winter Gloves – A replacement for the winter gloves that she probably only owns one of, now.
Rain Boots With Neat Designs – No one seems to own these anymore, but they’re both cute and functional.
Shopping Gift Certificates — although these don’t have to be impersonal. Get one to her favorite store, the one she’s always talking about being such a temptation, and she’ll know you cared enough to listen.
Gifts That Say I Love You
Date Night – For new moms, try a gift certificate to a restaurant an IOU for dinner and a movie plus the all-important babysitting IOU.
Personal photo - album that you’ve assembled with pictures that are meaningful to her.
Yoga or Massage – If she’s been stressed out, she might enjoy a few yoga classes or a massage gift certificate.
Personalized Stationary — a Great Old Standby.
Indoor Herb Garden – For the foodie in your life, an indoor herb garden kit can be a real winner. Fresh herbs taste so much better.
Put together a basket of all of her favorite things — it will be better than a store bought one, probably cheaper, and she’s certain to be charmed by the thought that went into it.
Her Favorite Magazine – A magazine subscription can be a real delight, as long as she isn’t a magazine hater, and there’s a new magazine out on one of her interests.
Table Book – Coffee table book on one of her favorite things or artists, with big, beautiful pictures.
Spa Day - A makeover or a spa day at her favorite salon. (Note that she may want company.
