Struggling For Gift Ideas? Women’s Gift Guide

24 July 2019 by Eileen

Buying gifts is never easy, is it? This is especially the case when the birthdays and Christmases start to rack up! If you are struggling to pick a gift for a loved one, we have some suggestions for you.

Women's Gift Guide

Crystal pens

When buying a present, the key is to try and think of something which will be unexpected. This does not mean that you have to spend an extortionate amount of money nor do you have to come up with a big and elaborate gesture. You can buy a small and affordable gift and still have that dazzling and dramatic effect. Thus, a great option which you should certainly consider is the purchase of one of the crystal pens which are available on the internet today. These make a great gift choice and are likely to be appreciated by most females, no matter their style or taste. Nevertheless, if you have a glamorous friend or girlfriend then this is assured to be a massive hit.

First and foremost, the reason why this is a great present is because it is unusual. You can rest assured that no one else would have purchased this gift and thus you do not run the risk of buying a duplicate present. Nevertheless, whilst the gift is so unique, it is still something which is extremely handy and will be used many times. After all, everybody needs a pen and thus there is no chance that crystal pens will not be appreciated. If you are buying for a girl who is still in school or someone who works in an office, then this is a great gift because they will be able to work in style.

There are of course a whole host of different designs and styles available when it comes to crystal pens. You can choose from a vast selection of different colours, including the classic and glamorous silver, the luxurious and lustrous gold, and the vintage and striking black. Therefore you are bound to find something which suits the recipient’s style and taste. You should view the pen you buy as an accessory or a piece of jewellery. After all, this is a product which can add to your image and your overall look as well as being practical.

If you are looking for an innovative gift, which is assured to put a smile on your friend or partner’s face, then opt for a crystal pen. This is unique yet extremely practical and thus you can rest assured that no one else will have purchased this, whilst also ensuring that the gift also gets a lot of use as well.

Home fragrances 

Home fragrances make a stunning gift. This is something that people do not always buy for themselves, and so it is a nice treat. For those who do typically buy diffusers and linen scents, fear not; there are niche perfume products that have a special feel. With naturally occurring luxurious perfume, life feels better. And, isn’t that what a gift is meant to be about? It’s supposed to be something special. No one wants to receive something they ‘need’. From soy candles to perfume room sprays, there are plenty of different products for you can purchase for a special woman in your life, be it your sister, partner, or your mum! These products enhance day-to-day life, making the home a much better place to be in.

One thing you could consider is buying a hamper and filling it with different fragrance products. This includes natural home fragrance products like perfumed botanicals, linen perfume, sleep and pillow sprays, perfume room sprays, soy candles, scented candles, and reed diffusers. You may also want to mix in some organic bath and body care products, for example, organic bathing gel and bath oil, hand oil, body lotion, and other products like this.

Clutch bag

As everyone knows; women love bags. However, handbags are for everyday use and thus they need to be practical. This makes them a very hard gift to select as they are usually something the owner prefers to pick themselves. This is why clutch bags provide an attractive alternative.

Clutch bags are a great gift because they are usually used to enhance an outfit on a night out or a special occasion. They tend to be used when an individual is dressing in evening wear, formal wear or party wear, rather than casual attire. Meaning you can pick the most unique, individual and eye-catching clutch bag you like. There are no rules and no limits; you don’t need to think about anything apart from how the clutch bag looks. So just think of the person you are buying for; what is their style? And then try to pick something which matches that.

Beautiful frames

We all love shopping. But when it comes to buying for someone else the process can often be more challenging then fun. Quite often we stress over what to buy someone a gift for their birthday, or any other special occasion for that matter, that we overlook some great gift ideas which are staring us in the face, for instance, wooden photo frames.

First and foremost, a photo frame is a great idea in itself because it is a personal present. Personal presents always tend to make the best impression on those receiving it because it shows that you have put a lot of consideration, time and effort in to deciding what to buy.

If you are going to buy a photo frame for someone as a gift then it is absolutely pivotal that you fill the photo frame with a picture rather than leaving it blank. Quite often people think that it is best to let the person receiving the gift decide what picture to put inside. However, this is a bad idea for a few reasons. Firstly, it looks like you haven’t put in much effort. Secondly, quite often the photo is more touching than the frame itself. And finally, if you do not fill the photo frame then there is a high chance it will be left empty for good.

But why wooden photo frames out all the available options? There are in fact several reasons why wooden photo frames are a great idea. First and foremost, they have a traditional and warm feel about them which is welcomed in any home. In addition to this, no one else is likely to buy one. Nowadays people tend to be opting for metal photo frames, meaning they have become exceedingly common. If you want something unique and beautiful then a wooden photo frame is the thing for you.

Perfume

You can’t go wrong with perfume. But, which sort of perfume should you go for? If you are a fan of Tiffany & Co jewellery, you will know all about Paloma Picasso, who designs jewellery for the popular brand and also has a signature collection of perfumes.

Her classic Paloma Picasso fragrance has been around for more than 30 years now and is just as popular today as it was when it was introduced in 1984. The fragrance has a strong, refined and distinctive smell, which makes it the perfect choice for an evening scent.

So, what fragrance notes are present in this scent? The base note is a blend of amber, vetiver and patchouli, whilst the middle note is rose, ylang-ylang and coriander. The top note is a beautiful mix of jasmine, neroli and bergamot. The overall scent is one that is mossy, woody and refined, with floral hints throughout.

This classic fragrance is a must-have for any perfume collection. It is elegant, classy and easy to wear, with a Mediterranean feel to it. Paloma Picasso may be a complex perfume, yet it is one that is easy to wear, and works perfectly when you are getting dressed up for a night on the town or a dinner with your partner.

The design of the bottle is also worth a mention. The gold colour brings lavishness and opulence to the design. The box is a combination of red and black, which is undeniably eye-catching. These colours are used because black is a symbol of power, whilst red is Paloma’s favourite colour.

So there you have it: some great gift ideas to consider if you are looking to buy something special for a lady! Whether this is your friend, sister, partner, or any other special lady in your life, you cannot go wrong with the suggestions that have been presented above.
