Women's Special Gifts

Give the gift of pampering.

If you are having difficulty deciding on a gift for a special woman, why not make your own? A gift basket is a special, creative and often edible gift that will express your admiration of your friend or loved one while at the same provide her with several useful or tasty treats. Form your gift basket based on the personality of the gift recipient.

Beauty Basket

Give a friend a basket full of goodies that will motivate her to relax. Some items include a few bottles of nail polish, a vintage teacup full of cotton balls, a face mask, some lotions and a lightly scented pillar candle.

Sweet Treats Basket

Fill a basket with sweet, homemade treats that reflect the interests of the gift recipient. For example, if she likes music, then make a batch of cookies in the shape of musical notes. If she works as a doctor, then make chocolates in the shapes of a stethoscope or pills. You can purchase themed chocolate molds from an online vendor. House the sweet treats in cellophane bags tied with decorative ribbons.

Good Reads Basket

Give a friend who love to read a basket full of good reads -- classics such as Shakespeare, Dickens and Austen as well as a few of your favorite reads. A bottle of eye glass washing fluid, a few creative bookmarks and a tea mug filled with fragrant tea bags make nice touches to finish off this basket.

Artistic Basket

Give a woman who has creative, artistic gifts or interests a basket filled with art supplies in her medium -- such as acrylic paints or watercolors, art paper, colored pencils, crafting paper and swatches of fabric with needles and thread.
