Don’t overthink this one! Most women I know love to shop. So get a gift card, add a heartfelt note, and deliver it with confidence! Seriously. Throw in a box of chocolates if you’re nervous.

Be sure to pick the right card–something SHE likes, not something YOU THINK she should like (fellas).

Shopping Queen

Get Inspired: Get her a gift card to her favorite shopping mall or department store and turn her loose. Deliver the gift card with reusable shopping bags, a travel cup, and a chocolate bar in case she needs an energy boost on her shopping trip.

Write a note that reads, “Shop ’til you Drop!“

Shoe Lover!

Get Inspired: In honor of my mom and sisters, I have to include a gift card to the shoe store. Get the gal in your life a gift card to one of the many great shoe stores in town and pair it with a foot lotion, comfy socks, or a fun toenail polish to strut her new open-toed sandals. (You can’t go wrong with a gift card to the shoe store!!!)

At DSW, you can even personalize a DSW gift card. Too cute!

Spa Girl

Get Inspired: Get her a gift card for a relaxing massage or pampering facial. Then pair this zen gift card with her favorite magazine, a soothing lotion, sleep mask or just a commitment to watch the kids or pets while she enjoys her treatment.

Crafty Gal

Get Inspired: Crafty gals are always looking for the next great tool or art supply to add to the collection. But picking the right one might be tough. Get a gift card to the craft store and attach it a creative staple like tacky glue, a sponge brush, a new stencil, or a fun scrapbook embellishment. Or get her a set of “Made with Love” labels to attach to the creation she makes using the gift card.

Tennis Lady

Get Inspired: Get a gift card to the tennis shop or sporting goods store with a good tennis collection and pair it with a new can of balls, tennis socks, sunscreen, a string dampener, or another accessory that is always needed. If your gal plays in a league, you could also get a serving tray for when it’s her turn to bring the post-game snacks.

Golf Gal

Get Inspired: Get a gift card to a golf shop, golf course, or golf lessons. Deliver it with the adorable Daisy Magnetic Cap Clip below, a new sleeve of golf balls, or something simple (like a water bottle or sports towel) to help her stay cool on the course.

Yoga Ya-Ya

Get Inspired: Get a gift card to the Yoga Center in town or to a yoga store for a new outfit. Hand it over with a serene accessory like new relaxation music, a hair tie, or a water bottle to stay hydrated.

Running Wo-Man

Get Inspired: Runners go through tennis shoes the way cars go through tires–actually more often. Get the running girl in your life a gift card to the running store, athletic shoe store, or a sporting goods store with a decent running section. Pair it with a sports drink, new ponytail holders, or a homemade CD of new pump-it-up tunes to get her motivated on her next run.

Beautiful Babe

Get Inspired: For the girl who likes to dabble with different looks, get a gift card to the beauty salon, beauty supply store, or cosmetic counter. Deliver it with a set of makeup brushes, makeup remover, cotton balls, q-tips or another universal beauty product.

Gourmet Gal

Get Inspired: To make a gourmet gal happier than a pig in a blanket, get her a gift card to a cooking store and attach it to a brightly colored silicone spatula, a basting brush, a flavored oil, or a new spice she can experiment with in the kitchen. You could even attach a cooking gift card to something as simple as a stack of your favorite recipes or fresh vegetables from the garden. She’s sure to relish the thoughtfulness as much as the gift card itself.
