Other Great Gift Options

While you may be tempted to splurge on an extravagant gift she definitely deserves, Jodi RR Smith, etiquette consultant and owner of Mannersmith, recommends choosing a more affordable option for something they really want. "You may not be able to hop on a plane to Paris, but you can dine at a French restaurant. You may not be able to tour the Louvre, but you can visit a local museum," she shares.

Also, if you no longer live near their favorite restaurant, a print or drawing of somewhere they love makes a very thoughtful and personal gift. For New York, London, Paris, and more, check out John Donohue. Plenty of Etsy sellers will also commission drawings or paintings of your recipient's childhood home, college bar, or favorite street if you just upload a picture.

If you are on a tight budget or unable to buy something, writing a heartfelt note to her is priceless. Many women, especially moms, would appreciate a handwritten letter. Otherwise, making something, purchasing a simple candle in her favorite scent, or giving her coupons for tasks you will complete are all great options. If you know there is a specific item she really wants, you can also wait for it to go on sale and buy it to give to her when the time is right.

Tips on Choosing a Gift for Her

Gifts don't have to be practical, but it's always nice to gift something that someone will use all the time (and think of you when they do). Quality and accessibility are two important things to consider when you are choosing a gift for someone in your life, but also consider the usefulness of the gift and if you see her incorporating it into her usual routine.

While practicality often adds value to a present, be sure it still aligns with her interests. "Understand that a gift that would be perfect for one woman, would be a complete insult to another. (For example, someone who loves to cook would be thrilled with private lessons from a locally famous chef (or an Always Pan from Our Place). But someone who hates to cook would be hurt and upset," Smith says.

One way to narrow down your gift choices is to think about the season you are giving the gift in. If it's summertime, gifts to enjoy warmer weather are likely to be enjoyed more immediately as opposed to a warm blanket, rich chocolate gifts, or peppermint-scented candles. Some gifts are great no matter the time of year, but some can seem odd, not useful, and even thoughtless if given out of season.

If you gift something that is too expensive, the recipient may not want to use it often because it's too nice for everyday use. Make sure it is a quality gift, but stay reasonable about how much you spend. According to experts, spending too much money on someone who isn't your significant other, family member, or close friend could make her feel uncomfortable or that she needs to get you a gift of equal value.
