“I’m every woman” sang Whitney Houston, but that doesn’t mean she would’ve enjoyed being thrown out of a plane at 10,000 feet. Finding the perfect gift for the women in your life can feel daunting. But, their personality type and hobbies may lend themselves to some incredible gift-giving ideas!
Use the guide below to find gift ideas for ladies based on their personality type. Don’t forget to explore our add-on gift choices for flower bouquets and chocolates for that added touch.
1. The glamourpuss
For lovers of all things shoes, makeup and jewellery, there’s an enormous range of ideas to suit. If you’re on a budget, go for an exfoliating lip balm, jewel-embossed glass manicure file or an iconic Ted Baker Icon bag (which isn’t as expensive as you might think!). If you’ve got a little bit more to spend, Swarovski earrings and bangles, luxury vegan mascaras and Calvin Klein perfume gift sets are a must-have for luxury scents.
2. The active one
If she spends her weekends in the great outdoors or enjoys nothing more than an evening spent at the gym, this is an active personality type. Consider a luxury Pashmina for when it’s chilly or a silk scarf and Gucci sunglasses for when it’s warm! Don’t forget – a penchant for the outdoors will mean plenty of sun exposure; many high-end moisturisers now contain SPF. Look for a face lotion and/or hand cream with at least SPF 30 to keep her skin protected while she’s enjoying the fresh air.
3. The thrillseeker
For thrillseekers, there’s nothing better than a gift that truly gets the adrenaline pumping. Forget the pyjamas – activity vouchers are where it’s at for this lady. Helicopter flights and indoor skydives are the perfect surprise gift for under £100. Or, a ‘choose your own adventure’ voucher allows the lady to pick from a range of experiences such as scuba diving, supercar experiences or an outdoor segway adventure.
4. The homebody
For those who love nothing more than staying at home cosied up, an oversized fluffy hoodie, wearable blanket or fleece pyjama are essential purchases. Think candle sets, Himalayan salt lamps or a luxury pamper set (with fluffy socks to boot!) for ladies who love nothing more than a cosy night in.
