Happy older woman and family

If you are at a loss for what to get for the woman in your life, these suggestions may help. Gift baskets are always a hit. Many of these unique gift basket ideas can be customized to fit personalities and interests. While these are mainly gifts for older women, they may also be suitable for younger women as well. Try one of these fun, creative gift ideas and watch the woman in your life light up.

For the Avid Reader

If you have an avid reader in your midst, you can’t hardly go wrong with a basket that caters to that passion. Great book gifts for older women may include “Inventing the Rest of Our Lives” by Suzanne Braun Levine or “The Wednesday Sisters” by Meg Waite Clayton. If you would rather allow her to choose her own book, include a gift card to her favorite bookstore. Drop in some tea bags and a cup so that she can truly enjoy her reading experience. For a little extra creative bang, line the basket with a light wrap or small blanket that she can tuck around her feet or toss around her shoulders while she reads the day away.

For the Tea Drinker

If your lady is a tea drinker, you will definitely score points with this lovely basket! Pick up several varieties of tea, a teapot and a cup (or two if you will be having tea with her). For even more fun, sign her up for one of those “tea of the month” clubs so that your gift will keep on giving all year long. You might even toss in a book on tea varieties so that she can explore the possibilities.

For the Languid Relaxer

Perhaps the woman in your life works hard or has a stressful job and just needs to relax. Or maybe she just likes to take it easy from time to time. Whatever the case, a gift of relaxation is sure to be a hit. Relaxation basket gifts for older women might include items like lavender incense, lavender room spray or an aromatherapy infuser with lavender oils. A CD of relaxing music and maybe some herbal tea bags (no caffeine!) and a cup will complete the package, creating for her the environment that will allow her to relax and revive.

For the Music Lover

If she loves music, then a basket geared in that direction could be just the thing to make her smile! Pick up several CDs of her favorite music, genre or artist and include a nice bottle of wine and a couple of glasses. If you can’t decide on the music, get her a gift card to her favorite music store and let her do the shopping. You may even want to throw in a book on music for her, perhaps a bio on her favorite artist or the history of her favorite type of music. Feed her passions and your gift will definitely be a hit.

For the Spa Enthusiast

Just about every woman loves bath or spa related gifts. For older women, something that is moisture rich with a nice smell is usually very well received. Add a gel eye mask, some rich chocolate truffles and a luxurious facial. She will enjoy her “spa” experience as she lounges in complete decadence. Let her know that she isn’t just “queen for a day” but queen every day in your book.
