A wallet makes a nice gift for any woman whether she's your grandmother, your wife or your daughter, but there are a few things to keep in mind when you go shopping. Here are some tips to help you select the right wallet for the different women in your life.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Stick with a standard style checkbook wallet for any woman that also carries a checkbook. This wallet will keep her currency, coins, credit cards, ID and checkbook all in one place and well organized to meet the demands of a busy shopper.

  2. Step 2

    Pull out all the stops and go for high-end fashion. Most women love trendy accessories or high-end pieces, and a wallet is no exception. Buy high-end designer names such as Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Raffaello, Gucci, Fendi and Versace.

  3. Step 3

    Impress her with something a little different that she may not purchase for herself, such as wallet on a detachable string. Women usually wear this wallet like a purse, and this style often has a snap closure that opens to reveal the wallet with credit card slots, currency compartments, zippered coin compartment and ID window.

  4. Step 4

    Consider a flat framed retro style wallet. This type of solid, rectangular wallet has a hinge and closes with a clasp, almost like a tiny suitcase for the hand. They usually have many slots for credit cards, a section for paper currency and a see-through ID slot. You can purchase this style from makers such as Latico Dolce.

  5. Step 5

    Get the workhorse of women's wallets, the French Purse or pocket style. This wallet usually folds in half and snaps shut with a fold-over clasp. It typically has many card slots, a zippered coin section, one or two currency compartments, an ID slot and plastic photo holders. These come in a wide range of prices to fit just about any budget, and you can buy one from eBags online.

  6. Step 6

    Select an opera wallet for something functional that goes from daytime shopping to a night on the town. Opera wallets hold all the essentials of a regular wallet, but are also large enough for a lipstick and small cell phone. Depending on the designer, this classic style done in faux leather.

  7. Step 7

    Opt for cute when you buy a wallet for a tween. Polkadot Petals online has a wide variety of fun styles and colors for tweens. Choose a designer inspired opera wallet with faux pink tiger print, a clip wallet with big polka dots or a giraffe embossed vinyl checkbook wallet depending on her taste.
