Find the perfect present for every woman in your life
We know that choosing the perfect gift for the woman in your life may feel like you’re embarking on a never-ending quest without any instructions or resources, but that’s where we come in. We’re here to provide you with your very own bible – yes, a bible – highlighting the divine rules to help you select the best gifts for women. We will be your guardian angels, leading you into the righteous path of selecting the perfect gift for her.
Step 1: Respect her wishes
This is where you need to look for the key to the treasure chest which holds all her desires. She MUST have mentioned some things that she likes at one point or another. If you think she hasn’t, you have obviously not been listening.
But don’t worry, you can still be Sherlock Holmes and do some deduction. Just try and identify her interests, her passions, her likes, her obsessions. Does she love food? Is she a disco diva? Is she a stoner? Does she like a drink (or ten)? Is she a willy worshipper? Or a clit connoisseur? Even if you’re looking for a gift for a Jesus-loving grandma, we’ve still got your back.
Step 2: Observe
If you haven’t been able to deduce from the evidence that you currently possess, it’s time to use your senses. So blow that dust off, wipe away the spiderwebs, and get to work.
The clues are all around you. All you have to do is pay attention. Look for subtle hints like small complaints or that slight passive aggressiveness that you hate so much. She could be saying things like:
“I could really use a nice massage right now.”
“UGH, these bed slippers are so old.”
“Sometimes I really wish I was a man..”
“I really need to de-stress.”
“We should SO organise a games night!”
Step 3: Determine whether the gift needs to be personalised
A personalised gift may show that you’ve put just a sprinkle of extra thought into your gift instead of just buying whatever came up first when you Googled “best gifts for women”. Whether it’s adding a short message or a hilarious selfie, personalised gifts can make a gift more memorable. But then again, they may not be everyone’s cuppa.
When it comes to personalised gifts, we do know a thing or two. We’re not saying you should definitely buy personalised gifts from Firebox, we’re just saying that we are the PROS of personalised gifts. So now, it’s really up to you if you want to buy a personalised gift from the experts, or from some amateur. It’s not like we have an entire section dedicated to personalised gifts or anything…
Step 4: Think outside the box
Oh sure, you could go to your closest jewellery store and buy a nice necklace because “women love jewellery!”. Well, guess what? Women are all different and they like different things. We know, shocker!
Our advice is: don’t buy the first thing that comes to your mind. Sit down, think about it, and make a list of options if you must. Be creative!
Step 5: Put some thought into choosing gifts for her
In simpler terms, make the gift special. Even if it’s just a stupid candle. You will just need to turn it into the best damn candle she has ever received. This may sound like an impossible task, but you just need to try and think of another person besides yourself, for a change.
Let’s stay on the candle theme as an example. You can print your favourite photo of the two of you and stick it on there or have a special quote printed on the label. Anything that would make the gift receiver say, “oh look, they actually thought of me!”.
Step 6: If all else fails, seek guidance from the gods… i.e. her besties
If you are one of her besties, please skip this step (and be aware that your position in her life might be reconsidered). If you’re not, and you have tried absolutely every single thing from this list, it’s time to give up and seek some real help.
Her besties are the ones who actually listen to her when she complains and they try to help her out, so they will know all about her obsessions, needs, and even troubles. They’re the ones who can impart their wisdom on your clueless brain.
Well, there you have it: the ultimate guide to choosing the best gifts for women in just 6 easy steps. Who would have thought it would be that easy?
