Thoughtful Gifts for the Women in Your Life

What makes a gift a good gift? It is a tough question – because what we may like to receive is not necessarily what we should be giving as gifts. For a gift to be a good gift, it is necessary to think from the point of view of the recipient. A self-serving gift is not a good gift – a man gifting his wife a food processor is a bad idea – for many reasons.  It tells the wife that cooking is her job and a job that she has to enjoy and perhaps can improve at. If you're looking for thoughtful gifts for the women in your life, these gift ideas for women may help:

Electric diffuser

This creates a lovely fragrant atmosphere in a room, bathroom, and kitchen. Aromatherapy fragrances are said to aid relaxation and the fragrance options are many. No mess of an agarbatti and no need to replenish candles and tea-lights. Just plug and play – with a bit of water and a few drops of oil.

Wearable blanket

This is great for those cold winter evenings to curl up with – watching TV or just sitting around with a cup of tea or chatting with family. Soft and cozy and warm – a thoughtful gift especially in winter.

Cushion massager

If considering a gift for an older woman, this would be appreciated – for creaky joints that get even creakier in winter. A rechargeable massager is a useful gadget, particular one that has a heating option

Heated slippers

In winter, the feet always seem to be the coldest part of the body and this seems like a great idea. A came across these plug to heat type of slippers recently, and now I want them!

A fragrance set

Ok, now fragrances are very personal so make sure she likes that fragrance. I personally love the range of floral fragrances from M&S – scents, moiturisers, creams, shower gels, hand washes etc. in same fragrance.

Spa /salon gift card

A bit of cosseting and pampering for the woman who routinely looks after everyone else? A thoughtful idea! Pick a gift card that let her choose the types of treatments she will like.

Face massager

This is a face massager that helps reduce facial stress and relaxes the muscles to smooth superficial lines. This can be used by itself or along with a moisturiser, serum and so on.

Flavoured coffee or tea

Depending upon whether she is a tea person or a coffee person, there are many excellent flavoured options these days. As a coffee lover myself, I love flavours such as hazelnut, vanilla, caramel, mocha, cinnamon in my coffee. So ahead, give it a bit of thought and try to find a gift that she will like.
