Perfect Gift Ideas for the Women in Your Life

Nothing can be more frustrating than trying to find a unique, special gift for a woman who seems to have everything. This article is going to take the stress away from this gift giving challenge and help you find ways of giving her gifts that will melt her heart!

The most important thing to pay attention to when picking out gifts for women is what kind of things they like. That seems like an easy place to begin. Does she collect things? Picking an item that will enhance a collection she has been working on will always be a welcome gift. How about going one step further with that, and enroll her in a “collection of the month club”. Most of today’s popular items being collected have programs for this.

What hobbies does she enjoy? Get something that will make her hobby more enjoyable for her. For example, if she travels, get a nice leather carry on bag. Then fill the bag with luxury spa items to help her unwind at her destination. To make it even more special, include some chocolate or other travel snacks that she can enjoy during her trip.

What is her lifestyle like? Career oriented women will always appreciate luxury items for their desk or office. A desktop fountain is beautiful and continues to give her the gift of stress reduction by providing the soothing sound of water. Another wonderful idea is a picture, of you of course! Get a gorgeous frame that will fit on her desk or locker. To make that idea even more unique, include her pets and/or children in the picture with you. She will love to look at that when she is at work and will also enjoy showing it off! A word of caution though, if the gift you are buying is for your sweetheart on Valentines Day or an Anniversary more personal/intimate gifts are required.

Speaking of romantic occasions, you can never go wrong with jewelry, flowers, and chocolate! For a unique gift, get flowers and candles, put them in the bathroom and get her a luxury spa set. Use the products from the spa set on her yourself. With the candles lit and the smell of flowers in the air, take your time and bathe her in luxury. After that, every time she uses the spa products, she will also have the gift of a very special memory to enjoy!

When picking jewelry out for a woman, always keep her style in mind. If she is conservative, buy more conservative jewelry, such as pearls. For a more unique twist, gift her with black pearls, or other colors that would be special for her. If she’s more on the wild side, get trendier jewelry. A belly chain might be a fun idea! To make giving a jewelry gift more special, plan an event. For giving her fine jewelry, such as gold or diamonds, take her to a nice restaurant. Or, go on a picnic, even in your own living room and give her more casual jewelry. Every time she puts the jewelry on, she will remember the special time you shared together.

Comfort items are always a sure bet. A very unique gift would be a tea stone that she can cherish and enjoy for years to come. This is a great gift idea if you are looking for something for your mother, sister, or coworker. Pick a stone that is special to her, or her birthstone. Get some loose tea to include with the gift so she can enjoy it right away. Better still; include a teacup and saucer, or even a cozy comforter that she can wrap up in while she enjoys her tea. This is a gift that will put a smile on her face and improve her health!

Gift baskets make a perfect gift for every woman! They are general by nature, so if you are getting one for your romantic partner, include an event along with the basket. Have the event fit the theme of the basket. If it’s a spa basket, give her a full body massage along with it. If it’s a gourmet food basket, prepare the treats and hand feed them to her at a candle lit table. If it’s a romantic gift basket, let your own imagination tell you what to do with that one!

I hope this article inspires your creativity and reduces some of the stress of gift giving away. The last idea I’m going to leave you with is to keep a calendar of special events that you need to have gifts ready for. Start to look for and plan your gift giving at least two weeks before the event so you have time to find the perfect gift for her. If you are shopping online, you may want to start even a month in advance. Some items are special order, or you might want to get them engraved and will need the extra time to plan on this.

Remember the best gift of all is the time and attention you give her. Those are some gifts that no women will ever be able to resist! If you would like more suggestions, or help planning a special gift for the women in your life, please email me anytime.

7 Reasons Why Diamonds Are Still A Girl's Best Friend


Marilyn Monroe made that phrase famous. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. That still makes a lot of sense. Here's why.

Reason #1 diamonds are a girls best friend because they are so beautiful. Fiery, romantic diamonds light up her finger. White diamonds look beautiful with outfits in every color.

Reason #2 diamonds are forever. There are lots of beautiful things around. Why diamonds? Roses are beautiful, but they fade. Dresses are gorgeous, but after childbirth, or as she ages, that beautiful dress would not look as beautiful on her anymore.

Reason #3 diamonds are precious. Sure, moissanite may be what a girl might buy for herself, because of its lower price, but moissanite is man made. Diamonds are rare, natural stones. The diamonds that girls love are of the highest quality. The lower grade diamonds may be used in tools, but women look at the quality of the diamond. See http://www.buy-diamonds.net/choosing_a_quality_diamond.htm for details on choosing a diamond. A large, high quality diamond would definitely impress.

Reason #4 diamonds are romantic. Especially when he is proposing to her with a diamond worth two months of his salary. It means sacrifice for love on his part. The fact that he loves her enough to save that sum to buy that diamond for her is a very romantic gesture that she will remember for years to come, each time she sees that diamond on her finger.

Reason #5 diamonds say that her man can provide for her very well. From the days when men would go out and hunt for animals to feed the family, to today, when most men go out there to bring in the money to support the family, women love being cared for. Being provided for. In many cultures, women look to marry a rich man. A man who can provide for them. If a guy can afford to give her diamonds, he can easily provide for her daily needs and for that of her children.

Reason #6 diamonds are practical. Like the song, diamond's are a girl's best friend. A kiss will not pay the bills. A rose isn't going to pay for her rental. A diamond, on the other hand, in times of emergency, can be a life saver. A single diamond can be sold for enough money to pay for a woman's bills when times get tough.

Reason #7 diamonds are a girl's insurance. Ok, so now, there are insurance policies in paper, that promise to pay for her old age medical bills etc, but diamonds are a lot more beautiful. She holds and sees them. She wears them. Everyone admires them. They assure her that even when she gets old, when she loses her looks, even if her guy leaves her for a younger woman, the diamonds would still be with her. A collection of diamond jewelry assures her that in her old age, or she is in dire need for cash, a piece of diamond jewelry could be sold, or pawned for much needed cash. Diamonds are a girl's insurance.

Funny T-Shirts Make A Great Ice Breaker With Women

Throughout history men have tried every technique available to pick up women. Some guys use a straight forward approach and others use cheesy pick-up lines. Lately a new trend has been emerging that seems to work better for men than any traditional pick-up techniques. Men across the country have been wearing t-shirts with funny sayings on them to get women to flock to them. It sounds ridiculously simple but it works.

The reason that the shirts are so effective is because often a woman will have an interest in you but not how to let you know. By wearing a funny shirt you give them a reason to come talk to you. All they have to say is "I like your shirt" and let out a little chuckle and the conversation is started.

WittyShirts.com ( http://www.wittyshirts.com ) has a line of hilarious t-shirts that will have have women everywhere laughing hysterically upon reading them. Some of the standout shirts are:

"I went to a t-shirt shop and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

"Your Dum"

"Procrastinators Anonymous: Meetings Start Tomorrow"

So instead of worrying so much about going to the gym and getting in shape, spending tons of money on expensive clothes and baking in the tanning salon, go out and grab yourself a few funny t-shirts They work much better!

Buying The Perfect Diamond Ring While Saving $1000's

by: Peter Vine

Buying a diamond engagement ring can be a risky business! For most of us an engagement ring is the third most expensive purchase we are likely to make, after our home and car. However I can guarantee you know much more about buying a home, or a car than you do about buying a diamond ring! This lack of knowledge opens up the opportunity for dishonest people to take advantage of you.

This generally takes the form of selling you a poor quality diamond ring for a higly inflated price.

How can you avoid the pitfalls?

There are some basic precautions you can take, which will significantly reduce the risk. Some of these include:

Get Educated - Research the subject of buying diamonds, in exactly the same way you would if you were buying a car. There is no substituted for this, and if you are willing to make the effort you can have more knowledge of the subject in 2 hours, than 95% of your fellow consumers.

Buy from a reputable source - Whether you decide to make your purchase online or at a Jewelry store, make sure you have some background on the store. Visit the store and ask the salesman questions to gauge his level of knowledge. I would suggest you avoid the Jewelry districts, simply because the competition is so fierce that it breeds questionable practices and half truths amongst the occupants.

Never buy a diamond without a certificate - Without a certificate you could quite easily buy a piece of glass set into an engagement ring setting and be non the wiser, but up to $5000 poorer. However a certificate alone does not guarantee a better deal, you need to be proficient in understanding exactly what it is telling you, and how each factor that is covered affects the price and quality of the ring.

Understand the 4 C's of diamonds - Most people know something about the 4 C's of diamond buying including, Cut, Clarity, Carat and Color. However very few people know how to each of the 4 factors interact to determine the price and quality of a diamond.

If you follow this advice you significantly reduce your chance of being fleeced by a dishonest salesman. Treat your purchase as a significant financial purchase. Set your budget up-front and do not go too much above or below the price you've set yourself. Try not to get to emotionally involved in the purchase and the outcome should be favorable.

Sexy Holiday Gift Ideas

by: Lance Russell

If you're looking for a gift that's a little sexy or a bit naughty you'll find some fun ideas how to spice up the eggnog below. These choices are not your standard lingerie gifts. You, your partner and your love life will all benefit when you give your significant other something sexy for the Holidays. You'll be able to share memorable intimate moments and you don't need to spend a fortune.

A lightly scented massage oil can be appreciated by both sexes. A nice oil greatly adds to the massage experience and massage is a perfect way to gain intimacy with your partner. You can take the experience one step further by adding an instructional DVD on Erotic Massage from Sinclair. Perhaps surprisingly, there are many massage techniques to arouse your lover. This DVD covers sexual techniques for both men and women.

An even more complete overview of sexual positions and techniques is the "Better Sex Series" DVDs from Sinclair Intimacy Institute. These 3 DVDs cover more than four hours of sexual advice from doctors and other sexual professionals explicitly demonstrated by couples.

Another fun category of sexy toys for couples to enjoy is vibrators. There are thousands of vibrators to choose from, some are sexually graphic in the form of a penis and others don't reveal their intended purpose at all. Two very popular sexually stealth vibrators are the Layaspot Vibrator by Fun Factory and the Hitachi Magic Wand.

The Layaspot Vibrator is a lovely, romantic Christmas gift for a woman with a unique shape that is perfect for use during intimate moments together or along. The Layaspot fits in the palm of your hand and measures about the size of a computer mouse with a slightly more curvaceous, sensuous form. It runs on 2 AAA batteries and offers three different vibration settings escallating, pulsating and standard one-level. The Hitachi Magic Wand was designed as a back and body massager and works great for that purpose; however, this plug in the wall vibrator continues to be one of the most popular sex toys for the last twenty years. It offers an exceptionally strong vibration and never runs out of batteries like vibrators do.

A new fun category of vibrators has emerged from the adult toy industry the Remote Controlled Vibrator. These vibrators can be worn under clothing and controlled with a remote by your partner from up to 30 feet away.

If you're looking for a beautiful pleasure toy for the Holidays hand-blown glass dildo works of art are spectacularly beautiful and erotic. Pleasure Toys and Phallix offer a wide range of stunning functional glass art works with price ranges from about $40 to as much as $300 for glass phallic pieces with incredibly intricate patterns inside. You ask, why would anyone use a glass sex toy? You'll be surprised to learn that glass dildo toys are the fastest growing segment of the huge adult toy industry. Many people love the cool feel of glass on their skin and glass toys are completely hygienic, unlike latex sex toys.

These are a few of the fun, sexy gifts you can share with your partner this Holiday, but you probably don't want to open these gifts in front of the kids.

Is Giving Lingerie An Expression Of Love Or Lust?

by: Rick Freedom

It has become increasingly popular for couples to give lingerie as a gift, especially when you want to spice up your love life or turn the heat up a few notches. So, is giving lingerie an expression of love or lust? Or both? When a relationship has become more comfortable and you want to take it to a whole new level, giving not just lingerie but sexy lingerie can definitely make your relationship more interesting and exciting.

Sexy lingerie is provocative, attractive and extremely appealing to the senses, especially for men. Men get turned on very easily by anything that is visually stimulating. Lingerie if chosen and worn correctly can titillate the senses and drive your partner wild! So, sexy lingerie is a sure way to get your partner fired up and coming back for more.

There are many types of lingerie in the market today. Different types of lingerie can be worn for different occasions. I would personally favor exotic lingerie that are a little bit more unique in design, instead of the common usual stuff that you get at conventional lingerie stores. I would suggest that you try to choose something that is creatively designed and bold, so that you can make a great lasting impression on your partner. Let your intimate moments be so memorable that it will make every encounter special.

One of the most popular styles of exotic lingerie in the market today is the sexy thong. The sexy thong first hit the market in the 80’s and become mainstream in the 90s. In recent years, it has become one of the fasting growing categories in the lingerie industry.

A few years back, it was highly fashionable for women to wear loose, low cut jeans with a thong inside, together with clothes that showed the mid-rift. The thong and a little of the ladies’ upper buttocks would be purposely exposed by the drooping jeans or pants. This was an extremely sexy and fashionable way to dress just a few years ago.

What You Give To Your Beloved

By: Alyssa A.


Try to remember what you gave to your beloved the last time you had a chance to express your love with a gift. Was it a rose? Or was it jewelry? Did you say anything to adorn your gift with significance? If yes, was it something that went straight from your heart, or have you spent a long time trying to make it sound as if it did? Now, I'm sure that your gift was beautiful, and giving beauty, letting it slip into your beloved's heart is very important, but was that beauty naturally meant for her?

If you can give a necklace, a ring, or any other jewelry to a woman, it's great, if you do it with true love, trying to show the deepness and importance of your affection. But at the same time, if the stone is the most noteworthy symbol of love you could think of, try thinking again, because your love might be not that deep after all.

Giving a jewel to your woman may truly be significant, and you should be careful with this. I know that, as a woman, I actually should like such things like trinkets, gems, jewelry, etc, but for some reason, it's really hard for me to understand how did it happen that all the best gifts suddenly became stone-cold. Gift is not an item. If it was that way, there would be no reason to give it at all. What's the point in giving something that cannot arise a single sparkle in your beloved's heart?

Gifts are feelings, emotions, understanding, knowledge; the whole world actually. That's why the "standard" gifts are not always the best ones. There's a whole universe of splendor to be given instead of a withering flower. Anyone can buy a ring, but unspeakable beauty usually is not the one you can get easily, but the one that slips away once you forget about its importance. It is teasing you, charming you, attracting you' leaving you to make you follow it. It makes you feel alive because it makes you dream.

I guess it would be reasonable to state that the greatest gift you can give to a woman is love, but the one thing you must understand is that it's not your love to be given; it's hers to be achieved. How can you give your love, and, at the same time, believe that a woman will love you for just that? If you love, you must see that your love is not the one that's important in a relationship. You can enjoy it whatever you want, but it doesn't mean that your lover will ever be able to experience joy from being loved.

If you can make a woman fall in love with this world, with her body, her mind, her soul, her friends, and her entire life, then you are a great giver. You give without stealing her freedom to love something that's just not about you. Never award a woman with yourself, or with your love. It cannot ever be enough if she has no love within herself. Better learn to give her love that she lacks to achieve true happiness. If one day you'll decide that you already gave enough, and instead of letting her to grow on, you'll put the weights on her wings, she will never love you as strong as she did before. She will never want you as hard as she could.

People were made to be free, and a gift of freedom is also one of the greatest. If you're free, you can let your love to flow freely. I couldn't ever understand why people cling to each other sometimes so cruelly, trying to force their lovers to love them more than anything or anyone else in this world. As if it's okay to overlap someone's surge of happiness, and then wait for it to flow to you.

If you truly wish your gift to be great and worthy, you must not expect anything in return, otherwise your lover will do the same, and both of you are going to stay unsatisfied. To give something really important you've got to see your lover's dreams. You need to learn what it means for her to be happy, and then, once you found out what her greatest dream is, you've got to expand it. You should make your lover's dreams even higher and braver. Teach her to enjoy every second of her life. You can make a woman feel powerful and fearless about whatever comes her way, and it doesn't mean that she's not going to need you anymore. It's just, if you truly love someone, you'd want them to be brave and strong, to be able to face all the troubles of their life. What if you won't be there when you're needed..?

So, what can you give to make your lover happy, besides the roses and jewelries? First, accept the fact that it's not you, and then, understand that it's not that simple. A soul of another human being has never been simple anyway. Even if you really love a woman, you love her knowing only that which is visible, but not what stays unrevealed. You might love someone who isn't even close to self-realization, and it could be a matter of great suffering for both of you. If you'll grant such a person with the greatest treasures of this world, it would be a kind of cruelty, because when you have everything but yourself, you have nothing.

Realize the deepness of that statement, and, for once, do something real. Don't try to get more points. If she loves you, she loves you for just that. You don't need anything to be loved. You don't need anything to earn it. However, you might need something to express your love with. If you choose to do it with a gift, pick your gift carefully; it might be important. After all, what you give, you're going to achieve.

The only thing that makes completely no sense in this world is love. It's so huge, and matters so much, that it's impossible for us to understand how can we survive it, or live without it at all.

Anniversary Gift Guide

by: Cynthia Marcano

Is your anniversary here again? Don't know what to buy your better half? Maybe the anniversary gift guide can help. The guide has been updated with a few gift ideas to make your shopping a little easier.

1st Anniversary- The first anniversary is the year of paper. Paper gifts are not as boring as one may think. It can be as simple as a handwritten poem or as lavish as an airline ticket.

2nd Anniversary - The second anniversary is cotton. A good cotton gift is clothing. Personalizing it makes it even more special. Nowadays you can personalize just about anything.

3rd Anniversary- The third anniversary gift is leather. Wallets and purses are nice leather gifts. There are also tins of leather items that can be personalized as well. (Ex. Personalized leather bracelets or briefcases)

4th Anniversary- Linen is the fourth anniversary gift. Linen gifts include table linens and vacation linen shirts also known as Guayaberas.

5th Anniversary- Wood is fifth anniversary gift. Gift ideas range from gift baskets to furniture.

6th Anniversary- The sixth anniversary is iron. Iron gifts include candleholders and picture frames.
