Gift Baskets For Women

Women can be pretty picky, but that doesn't mean they're hard to please. Women in general like to pamper themselves at the spa and satisfy the occasional sweet tooth, so gift baskets that contain such relevant items are often received well. If you know a little about her personality ?if she likes to read, sew, or travel, for instance, you can use these ideas to come up with an even more thoughtful gift basket.

Let's start with the pampering. Women love dressing up, putting on makeup, and getting their nails done. They also like soaking in the tub and getting massages. If this sounds like her, you can surprise her with a gift basket filled with spa items. Here are a few examples:

Bath Gift Baskets: Many women look forward to starting and ending the day in the bathroom. In fact, a lot of women these days have their bathroom designed to be much larger than the usual standards ?they make it their gym, their spa, or simply a place to lounge. Don't be surprised to see flat-screen TV's, massage tables, and exercise bikes in a woman's bathroom these days!

A bath gift basket would be a delightful addition to her tub's collection. Bath gift baskets are easy to find ?most health and body shops out there have pre-packaged bath baskets, containing soaps, body lotions, shower gels, bubble baths, and body scrubs. These gift baskets are always nice to receive, but you can make your gift basket a little more thoughtful by putting it together yourself.

For instance, if she's an ecologist at heart, make your gift basket a little extra special by choosing only organic and all-natural bath items. If she's a health buff, you can throw in some fruit-scented or fruit-based spa items. Giving them a gift basket of goodies they especially like will definitely remind them of you every time they step into the bath.

As an additional idea, throw in a few scented oils, incense sticks, or scented candles into the basket. A hardworking woman would love a lavender-scented soak in the tub after a hard day's work.

Sweets Gift baskets: No matter how health-conscious a woman might get, she'll always enjoy satisfying her sweet tooth every now and then. After all, what's the point in starving yourself to be skinny tomorrow, when you're not happy today? A gift basket filled with sweets will remind her that you think she should take things a little more easily.

There's probably a million different things to choose from when putting together a gift basket of sweets. You can throw in some cookies, cashew nuts, chocolate, pretzels, and other kinds of candy. I doubt you can go wrong with chocolate, but be careful about giving a sweets gift basket if she's diabetic. You can still pull it off by filling the basket with sugar-free goodies, though.
