Purse Items

• Small Items can fit in Purses
  
  Most women carry purses filled with a variety of items that suit many needs. Small items that women can carry in their purses make great gifts and are inexpensive. Compact mirrors, small bottles of perfume and nail trimming kits are all great items for women to have on hand. You can also purchase travel-sized amenities such as lotion, Kleenex and hand sanitizers. These items make a great gift bag for women, who will use them on the go. Plus, if you're shopping for a mother of a young child, travel-sized items like antibacterial cream, baby powder and Q-tips are especially helpful.
  
  

Cooking Gifts

• Flavored Oil is Decorative and Tasty
  
  Traditionally, women do a lot of the cooking in their homes. Thus, a recipe book makes a great gift idea. You can write your favorite recipes on an index card, and insert the cards into the sleeves of a small photo album. Fresh herbs are simple, wonderful gifts for a woman who cooks. Flavored oils also make a great gift for a woman who likes to cook. This gift is useful and decorative.
  
  

Bath Items

• Choose Bath Items
  
  Many women look forward to long, hot baths to unwind from the day's busy activities. For gifts, bath items are inexpensive and thoughtful. Mix different types of bath items together in a basket. Use bath oil, bath salts and bubble bath. You can also purchase scented soaps or include a plush bath towel in your gift basket. Also include a scented candle in your gift basket for a present that any woman would enjoy.
  
  

Personal Gifts

• Pedicures Make a Great Gift!
  
  Give your gift a personal touch. If the woman you're buying for works in an office or is a teacher, make a gift bag of items like pens, paper clips and staples. If the woman works in the medical field, a pair of monogrammed scrubs makes a really personal gift. If she likes to garden, you can create a basket filled with different types of seeds, gardening gloves and small gardening tools. Oftentimes the perfect gift tends to be a photograph of the two of you; position it in the perfect picture frame, and attach a note telling the lady how much you appreciate her.
  
  

Luxury Items

• Silk Scarves are Luxurious!
  
  A great idea for a woman is to buy something for her that you know she wouldn't purchase for herself. A gift certificate for a manicure, pedicure or massage is a great idea. An even better idea is to write out a coupon for the lady, offering a "date" for the two of you. You could take her out to eat, to a movie of her choice, or to a day-spa for all-day pampering. You can also purchase small, luxurious items that any woman would really appreciate. Get her a pair of cashmere gloves or socks. You could buy her a silk scarf.
