Gift Ideas for the Woman who has everything
Gift giving can be a stressful affair and not because of lack of care for that special lady friend. No, it’s the result of realizing that any gift will most likely match something already in her possession. Ideally the special gift generates a light-up-the-room smile, possibly a tear to her eye, and hopefully a warm embrace. Thus the challenge to find a gift for the woman that has everything is dependent upon the relationship.
For instance, is the gift for your mother? The selfless lady who for years has made sure her family came first. She’s received all the knick knacks, sweaters, gloves, scarves, and flowers that she can possibly use and take care of. Now what?
Consider providing a maid service such as one that will do the cleaning, laundry, run errands, and make meals. Such pampering will be a welcome escape from the everyday grind.
Another possibility is a therapeutic massage. This is different to a normal relaxing message. Typically offered in day spas, the therapist will perform a deep tissue massage, using more pressure to loosen the painful knots.
A hand-made book of the special moments while growing up. The many life lessons learned, some no doubt the hard way. The final page is to express thanks for always willing to listen, lending a hand and provide guidance. This will surely be a best seller in mom’s eyes.
Would this gift be for a girlfriend or wife that seems to have everything they could possibly need? Certainly the idea of a maid service and therapeutic message are possibilities, but, there are ways to hit a home run without having to break the bank.
A special weekend away announced with a bouquet of her favorite flowers. Go to the theatre or museum. A walk along the magnificent mile in Chicago during the holidays is an eye-opening experience. Or plan to visit a city during their restaurant week, where many popular eateries reduce the cost of meals. Hotels often do the same to generate business.
Then again, a special weekend can be had while never leaving your home. Have the kids stay with relatives or friends. Have enough food and beverage stocked so there is no need to leave the comforts of home. Movies, board games and each other will provide all the entertainment needed.
A gift seldom thought of that doesn’t have to be purchased, takes place at Home Depot. Even though they offer thousands of items, the most important gift for a woman who has everything is having her participate in“The Do-It-Herself” workshops. Here she will gain the confidence to take on home improvements through hands-on learning. Also included are sessions that deal with the inevitable repair issues that arise within the home. The gift of knowledge is priceless.
In the end, a gift given with love to the woman that has everything will generate a smile that warms the heart.
