Before we provide some gift ideas you should be aware of the woman you’re buying for. Go through the questions below and you’ll be able to home in closer to the kinds of gifts she would enjoy.
What are her hobbies?
Probably the biggest indicator of what kinds of gifts you should be shopping for will surround her hobbies. What does she do with her spare time? If she’s a fitness freak and enjoys a specific type of fitness such as cardio, maybe a heartrate monitor or flashy new gym gear will make her happy. Think about the following hobbies and what gifts might be applicable:
Video gamer – a new game, gaming headset, game-branded merchandise or clothing
Artist – an inspirational new book, new materials for her to create different art or new equipment
Musician – a new instrument or musical equipment such as a recorder
Television enthusiast – the boxed set to her favourite show, or maybe an educated guess at a new series she may enjoy
Chef – a new appliance, cookbook, cooking equipment or cooking class
How old is she?
Age is another great way to find present ideas, particularly if it’s a teenager you’re buying for. Things like mp3 players, phones, jewellery and other smaller accessories are a great idea for younger girls and even boys.
Does she have any travels or milestones coming up?
If the lady you’re buying for is set to embark on a trip anytime soon think about what she’ll need. New luggage, travel guides or even booking an experience for her to do while travelling would be greatly appreciated. More appreciated to the woman going abroad on a budget, albeit a bit less glamorous, would be to pay her travel insurance costs for her.
Does she have a child or pet?
If the woman you’re buying for has a young child or pet that she absolutely dotes on think about what gifts you may be able to buy them. This won’t apply to all ladies you buy for, but some may appreciate you buying a gift for their child or pet rather than them.
What’s her job?
A woman’s job will tell you much about what to buy her. If she’s into the corporate life maybe a beautiful personalised diary will be a thoughtful gift. If she works as a stylist for example, maybe some new products or equipment will help her experiment and get better results.
