Gift Ideas for Ladies

 

  1. Blanket

Consider a blanket in the person’s favourite colour. If it’s a teacher gift, your child can ask the teacher. If it’s a gift for someone you hardly know, you might want to choose a blanket in neutral shades. The best blankets are ones that won’t shed or come apart when thrown in the washing machine and dryer. When shopping, aim for a high-quality brand. This doesn’t mean you have to choose something expensive; it just means be careful of discount-brand offerings.

  1. Candle

Go beyond the ordinary scented candle and choose a candle that contains a beautiful scent and a surprise: a ring, bracelet or necklace made of sterling silver. Jewel Candle offers hand-poured, eco-friendly candles crafted of a soy-wax blend. The candles are available in relaxing, romantic or uplifting scents, and after burning for a few hours will reveal the jewellery surprise that could be worth up to $100.

  1. Power Bank

Who couldn’t benefit from a power bank? Unless your gift recipient doesn’t own a mobile device, this is a gift she’ll be sure to find useful. These handy tools come in different colours and shapes, as well as various price points. You can even find a power bank that doubles as a cosmetic-size mirror.

 

  1. Portable Speaker

If the lady you’re buying a gift for likes music, a portable speaker might be the perfect fit. Whether poolside, at the beach or sitting in the garden, portable speakers allow you to pair your phone to the speaker via Bluetooth and play your favourite songs. Finding a set of portable speakers that are capable of providing you with quality audio boosts at an affordable price is now made simple in this information age.

  1. Personalised Tumbler

A personalized tumbler is a handy gift for taking drinks on-the-go. If you choose to gift a tumbler that’s insulated, it will keep drinks hot or cold for much longer. You can order a personalized tumbler, or you can purchase adhesive letters and personalize a blank tumbler yourself.

  1. Set of Coasters

Options abound when it comes to the different sizes, shapes, colours and materials that are available in coaster sets. Consider a set of marble coasters or a set of glass coasters with inspiring sentiments. There are also coasters that feature things your gift recipient might like, such as flowers, cats, landscapes or abstract designs.

  1. Hand Balm

Dry hands can be an issue in the winter or if you’re constantly washing your hands, and a tube of hand balm can be a lifesaver. Pass up the common over-the-counter tubes of hand balm for higher-quality options that include pretty packaging and unique, but light, scents.

  1. Planner and Pen

A high-quality planner and pen can make a lovely gift set. The best part about this gift is that it can be used whenever. If a planner isn’t quite the right pick for the person, consider a journal instead.

  1. Tote Bag

Tote bags come in a variety of sizes, colours and materials and can be used for just about anything. You can choose from simple, clean styles or opt for a tote with a graphic print or embroidery.

  1. Bloom Vase

A delicate, decorative bloom vase is a true gift item — not usually something that people purchase for themselves. They can in a wide range of sizes, shapes, colours and materials as well.

  1. Tea Towel Set

If the person you’re buying a gift for likes quirky sayings, a tea towel set could be a perfect choice. Tea towels are useful and can be used over and over again. Plus, if you don’t want to gift towels that contain words, there are plenty of prints to choose from.

  1. Handcrafted Soaps

Handcrafted soaps are another gift that people don’t often buy for themselves but delight in receiving. The soaps come in different shapes, colours and scents, and you can often find soap samplers, which include a small selection of different soaps. To make the gift extra-special, pair it with a coordinating soap dish.

  1. Succulent

It won’t matter whether the person you’re giving a gift to has a green thumb if you choose a succulent. A jade or aloe plant or a pincushion cactus are all good options to consider when gifting an easy-to-care-for succulent.
