So the title says all you need to do is ‘think of who they are’. Sounds simplistic doesn’t it, especially when you are buying a present for the woman (wife, mother, daughter, girlfriend. etc.) who seems to have it all.
But think about it.
How well do you know the person you are buying the birthday present for? If it is someone in your family you should know them fairly well. Sometimes it is just a matter of sitting and thinking about things you remember them talking about. Or just take some time and be with them in advance of their birthday. Listen to what interests them. Ideas can actually come over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. It really is, in my opinion, knowing who they are. Then of course finding it.
Birthday Gift For The Women In Your Life.
If you are lucky there are many women in your life who you will celebrate a birthday with. So let’s look at some on the great ideas by relationship.
You Wife or Girlfriend (hopefully not both 🙂
If it is the first birthday you have spent together as a married couple I would suggest you give her a special birthday present to celebrate that occasion so I would try jewelry (doesn’t have to equal the engagement or wedding ring, just something that she will remember as the first). Whether your wife, or your girlfriend, if you are past the first year jewelry absolutely still works, but you can also be a bit more intimate, if you think you are ready.
If you know her style, take the plunge and give her a clothing or shoe gift. Trust me, she will be incredibly impressed (because it means you know her). If she is not big on flowers, though she may very well be but a something additional would do the trick, try something fun as a gift. Always try to keep in mind that as much as it is what you buy, it is also showing her that you know her and what she likes, regardless of cost.
Your Mother
Mum’s are pretty easy. They are happy that you think of them and remember their special day. So flowers or plants will work. One category I see people shy away from his home gifts. Long gone are the days of Mum being horrified by something for the home, so much has changed. No longer just a blender, or just a coffee pot, home is where the heart is and you can find so many great items she will love. Home presents are fabulous and so many to choose from. Check out some here and personally picked home gift ideas here.
Your Daughter, Niece or Grand Daughter
This can be a big challenge depending on the age. Young one’s are happy with a box and a cake. A bit older and you may want to look at toys, arts & crafts, a bit older than that and you are into clothing, jewelry and electronic gadgets. Have a look here. So many great ones I wish I was given as a kid.
