It is often said that women are a very difficult gender to buy for, and may I add that it is usually the male gender who says this. When it comes down to buying the right present for a women, I got to thinking, are we ‘female species’ really that difficult to buy for? My answer to this would be no, if you try and find a gift to match her personality and interests. In this article, I will highlight some gift ideas to match various personalities and interests



The Out- Going Type Who Likes to Have Fun-funny and novelty gifts are a good match for a women with this personality. Here are some that I have picked.

Candy Bra- as the name implies this is a bra made purely of candy (yes sweets!). The sweets themselves, of which there are 330, are the delicious necklace sweets that we all used to love as kids. It’s no longer the case of 'do my boobs look good in this?', but rather now the question 'do my boobs look TASTY in this?' Also in this range are Candy G-String and Candy Garter.

Wind Up Racing Grannies- this hilarious novelty toy is a pair of grannies, who when you wind them up, will race each other, holding onto their walking supports! These racing grannies really are very funny to watch, and a great gift for a female who likes to laugh! In this range is also Wind Up Fighting Grandads (yes, these two grandads fight each other with their walking stick.

The Homely Type- if the female you are buying for is, it is obvious to say that buying her something for her home is the perfect match. However, to pinpoint even further it is wise to buy a home gift that suits her taste, whether it be traditional or contemporary. There is of course a vast array of products available, but here are 2 examples of gifts to suit this type of female.

Hand Crafted Mango Wood Candle Holders- these particular candle holders are stylish and with a contemporary look, it will fit well into the modern home. Although there are of course many types available, the ones I would highlight here in fact come as a set of 3 square holders, each bigger larger then next and fit ‘into’ each other.

Pop Corn Maker- a homely person is someone who not only is proud of her home, but likes to spend her time in it. I have chosen the pop corn maker, because on those DVD nights, it makes a perfect combination.

The Creative Type - if she is what you would call the creative type, buying her a gift which has creative flare would be a good match. Here are two examples.

Hand Painted Pop Art Canvas - the painting itself can be a replication of a photo print, be it a famous person, a city or a personal photo. The creativity is in the conversion of the photo into a pop art piece. There are also other creative designs that can be achieved such as Retro, Illustration and Warhol. However, these designs tend to usually be for personalised photos.

The Beauty and Fashion Conscious- it would be fair to say there are many women in this category. The choice of gifts you have available here is vast. The more traditional gifts such as clothes and perfume is an obvious choice. Here are two slightly more unique gifts that fall into this category.

Bath Pearls - having a nice hot bubble bath after a long hard day at work is to most women, heaven. Bath Pearls make a great addition to the ambience of relaxation and spa therapy. They float on water and will change into 7 different colours constantly. These ambient lighting bath pearls are ideal for a relaxing session in the bath.

The Personal Stylist - now, do not be fooled by the words personal stylist and think that this is something only the rich and famous can afford. This very unique and useful gift is in fact a personal stylist in a gift box. This gift box consists of personal style report compiled by a fashion stylist who has worked with top celebrities and actors. The recipient has to fill out a questionnaire, answering questions on areas such as their height measurements, body niggles, colouring, style personality and face shape. They will receive a personal style report to include: what colours suit you, how to maximise your assets, what clothes suit your body shape and height, how to dress to disguise your body niggles, what items are a must for your wardrobe, how your face shape impacts what make-up and hair choices you should make and lots, lots more. I would consider this an excellent gift for the fashion conscious woman.

Although there is a much large range of personalities and interests to consider, I have not covered them all in this article. The aim of this article is to help drive your chain of thoughts when finding a gift for a woman, and I hope that I have gone a little way to achieve that.
