Homemade Spa Products

Next mix 1/4 cup of jojoba oil and 1/4 cup liquid castile soap and mix well. This sugar scrub can be put in a nice container with a label on it to identify the scent.
Flowers
Flowers are always a lovely gift for a woman to receive. Flowers can be purchased from a florist, grocery store or farmer's market in a variety of bouquets. You might also give her hand-picked wildflowers for a more thoughtful gift. Put the bouquet into a vase with a handwritten card. Painted clay pots with a houseplant or flower buds also make great gifts for women.
Jewelry
A good gift for women is jewelry, which you can personalize. Buy her a pendant in a shape she will like, such as a heart, star or butterfly. You can personalize many jewelry items by including the woman's birthstone or having the jewelry engraved with her name, an important date or a special message. A jeweler can create a special ring for a woman who's a mother by including the birthstones of her children.
Practical Gifts
Practical gifts are items that she would use on a regular basis such as a handbag, wallet, briefcase, laptop case or makeup bag. Practical gifts for the home include kitchen appliances, furniture and linens. You can personalize many practical gifts. You can buy a set of bath towels embroidered with her initials, a watch engraved with her name or a picture frame engraved with an important date or message.
Gift Basket
Make the woman in your life a gift basket that is tailored towards her hobbies or interests. The gift basket might follow a specific theme or include a variety of items she likes. One themed gift basket idea is putting together a picnic basket with a small blanket, plastic cutlery and storage containers, paper plates and cups, as well as baked goods and a bottle of wine.
