Best Gifts for Her

Your mum, your wife, your girlfriend, your sister or a close friend has a birthday coming up. You want a gift that suits her and shows you care, and the choice is huge. These are the best gifts for her, the classics that suit most women, with pointers on getting each one right.

Flowers

Flowers have always been a popular gift for women. A fresh bouquet brightens her day straight away, from a single rose to a big mixed bunch. Romantic roses and cheerful sunflowers say very different things, so choose the flower that suits the occasion and her personality.

Jewellery

Jewellery rarely misses. Classy earrings, a delicate necklace, a trendy bracelet or a sparkling ring all lift an outfit. For something she will keep for good, go for gold, silver or platinum, with diamonds or another gemstone.

Perfume

Perfume is a classic gift, and a scent she loves can bring back memories and give her a small boost of confidence. Think about her style when you pick a scent: floral, fruity, woody or oriental. A perfume from a well-known designer and one from a small niche brand both make a lovely gift. If she already has a favourite, a new bottle of it is the safest choice.

Chocolates

Good chocolates feel like a treat and go down well with almost anyone. Rich dark chocolate, creamy milk chocolate or fancy truffles: pick the kind she eats herself. Artisan brands and chocolate gift sets make it feel more special than a box from the supermarket, and she will taste the difference.

Handbag

Handbags are practical and stylish gifts that suit women of any age. A sleek leather tote works for the office, a clutch for evenings out and a crossbody bag for every day. Think about her style, her daily routine and what she carries before you choose.
