Women's Gifts for Christmas
Select a thoughtful Christmas gift for a special woman in your life, whether it is your wife, mother, sister, boss or best friend. Find a gift that fits with her personality and interests, but it is always a smart idea to buy her something she would not normally buy herself. Think outside the box, giving her a gift that is unique and heartfelt.

Pampering
-
Give a pampering gift to a woman who works hard and deserves a break. Purchase a gift certificate to a spa or salon for her to receive a relaxing massage, facial, manicure or pedicure. For a less-expensive alternative, buy her the supplies needed to create a spa night at home, such as luxury bath salts, lotions, a manicure set, high-quality nail polish, and a facial mask treatment. If she is a mom, offer to babysit for her during her spa experience.
Foods
-
Allow her to take a break from the kitchen by providing a basket of homemade treats. Bake a batch of her favorite type of homemade cookies, muffins, scones or bars for a sweets lover. Give her an assortment of jams or cheeses along with a variety of crackers and bread to spread them on. If she loves coffee or tea, provide a few specialty varieties for her to enjoy, accompanied by a new mug or travel beverage container.
-
Hobbies
-
Find a gift that matches a hobby she enjoys during her downtime. Choose items such as puzzles, scrapbooking supplies, canvases and paintbrushes, baking pans and kitchen gadgets or board games, depending on her interests. If she loves to read, get her a current bestseller or a classic work of literature that she might enjoy. Add a decorative bookmark, such as one with an inspiring quote or a floral pattern, to complete the gift. Try a leather-bound journal, a bundle of recipe cards or a photo album for other Christmas gift options for her.
Media
-
Give her a blast from the past by purchasing a CD boxed set or a DVD of a film she enjoyed as a teen or child. Find a live recording of a band she saw in concert, or buy her a television season DVD set of her favorite guilty-pleasure show. Whatever item you select, keep in mind that you should find something that is hard to track down, or something that she might not have thought about in a while. That way, the gift with be unique and more meaningful to her.
