Inexpensive Gifts for Women
My Hand Painted Glasses
Cheap but Not Junk
Finding cheap gifts that women love isn't all that difficult. Before heading out to shop, try to find out some of her likes and dislikes. Take a few minutes to really think about this lady, does she like color in her surroundings, or is she more traditional and favors earthtones? Is she into fashion and jewelry, or does she like to garden?
Don't
skimp on imagination when wrapping your gifts. The presentation
should make a statement, and whatever is inside will show that you
took the time to really think about her instead of grabbing something
on impulse. Here's some ideas:
Candles
Most women like candles, whether they
are scented, unscented, flame-less, round, square or sculpted.
Candles are timeless and fit any season, and any occasion. There are
some candles in glass jars, that have decorative tops. Some of the
tops must be removed when burning the candle, but some are vented and
can be left on when the candle is burning. Spicy flavors, such as
apple pie spice, cinnamon, and pumpkin scented candles are great for
the kitchen. Round out the gift with a candle lighter, they are very
inexpensive and can even be used safely to light gas logs in the
fireplace.
Wine Bottle Stoppers
These crafty
little cork stoppers are limited only by your imagination. Bottle
stoppers come topped with angels, cats, dogs, horses, team logos,
boats, planes, and trains. You can find miniature teddy bears,
raggedy ann dolls, rabbits, and birds on top of bottle stoppers.
Great inexpensive gifts! Add a bottle of wine or beverage of choice
to make a big impression.
Fuzzy Socks
Everyone
can use another pair of those deliciously feeling soft, fuzzy socks.
If she's on her feet a lot, coming home and putting on these
wonderfully soft socks really are a treat for the feet. They come in
every color of the rainbow, and some have slip-resistant disks on the
bottom of the sock.
Gift
Certificates
Always a good choice, especially if you are
not sure what she likes, wants, or know her size. Gift certificates
are available from virtually every store imaginable. If she likes to
shop on-line, gift certificates are available from vendors, such as
shopping channels, auction websites, and unique far-away places. You
can give gift certificates for dining, crafts, garden and patio,
drugstores, specialty foods, bakeries, and coffee shops.
Lottery
Tickets
How about an assortment of lottery tickets? Who
doesn't like the thought of being a millionaire without even trying?
There are many lotto games, some as scratch-off tickets, bi-weekly
and weekly jackpots are out there. Perhaps lottery tickets from other
U.S. States or off-shore countries.
Home Gifts
If
the person likes to craft and create, perhaps a gift certificate from
a crafts supply store would fit the bill. Or, if your town has craft
fairs throughout the year, perhaps a pre-paid entrance pass for an
upcoming event.
Hand Painted Wine Glasses
Couldn't miss the opportunity to toot my own horn! I paint original
designs on wine glasses, carafes, goblets, and cups. The colors and
designs can be customized to suit individual tastes, holidays, or
events. Specialty glassware is a special way to serve your guests.
A carafe and four glasses is a wonderful gift, or you might prefer a
basket, a bottle of wine, and two glasses.
Stay-At-Home
Moms
Many moms don't have the time to shop for themselves,
so a basket filled with hand and body cream, unique scented shower
gels, and foot care products might be a perfect gift for her.
Perhaps her time is limited and a day of casual shopping is out of
range, so things from a body and bath speciality store may be a
treat.
Pet-Sitting
If she has pets and must be out of town,
or travels frequently, a coupon for a pet-sitter might be another
good present. If you know her well, you could print a booklet with
coupons for free services that you would provide. Perhaps you could
pet-sit, house-sit, or do a bit of landscaping or yard work for her.
Gel Eye Mask and Soothing Music
If she works
at night, a gel eye mask would soothe the sensitive skin around the
eyes, and block the bright light of day. Sounds of the ocean, rain,
or other nature sounds are relaxing and soothe and relax the body.
Perhaps this is just what she needs to her get uninterrupted sleep
during the day.
Spending a lot of money to buy and give great
gifts to a women is not necessary.
