Best Birthday Gifts for Her

If you’re wondering just what to get her this year, never fear. Here are ten perfect gifts for any woman on your list.

1. Helpful Travel Bag

One of the most frustrating parts of travel for many is the desire to have everything you need at your fingertips and not being able to make that happen. Whether it’s a bag that’s too small with everything crammed in (and a zipper that’s about to burst) or a cavernous bag where things get lost, most women just haven’t invested in a good travel bag.

You can fix that! If you know that she’s always heading to offsite meetings and needs her laptop, get a bag that makes it easy to keep a laptop and cords safe and accessible. Or perhaps she likes to take weekend trips to a nearby city. Find a great tote with room for some pajamas, a change of clothes, and toiletries. Choosing the perfect bag is a great way to show her you’re there to make her life a bit easier.

2. Stunning New Sunglasses

No matter the season, every woman deserves a great pair of sunglasses. If you know her style preference (vintage, modern, classic, edgy) you can select a pair that suits her well. If you’re not sure, you can always take her shopping for a pair and help her find the sunglasses she loves the most.

Why are sunglasses so great? For one thing, they’re something many people buy without enough care. From ineffective lenses that don’t protect your eyes from the sun to sunglasses that just don’t fit – the frustration can be real. By selecting high-quality sunglasses that really work, you’ll help make the sunny days in her life even better.

3. Beauty Product Box Subscription

The popularity of subscription boxes seems to have exploded in recent years. And why not – having amazing products delivered straight to your mailbox on a regular basis is both fun and useful. Plus it gives her something to look forward to when she gets the mail.

There are so many types of beauty subscription boxes to choose from, and they make it pretty easy on the gift giver. If you want to send someone in your life a subscription, you can generally choose the frequency (once a month, four a year, etc.) and duration (3-months, one-year, etc.) and pay. Then many companies will send a virtual gift card to the recipient so they can enter their preferences like skin type and beauty favorites. It’s simple for you and fun for her!

4. Temperature Regulating Tumbler

If you know someone who is just too busy to sit down and enjoy an entire cup of coffee or tea, then this is the perfect gift for them! Whether they’re dashing from meeting to meeting, heading out to class, or getting the kids ready for school, lukewarm beverages just won’t cut it.

That’s where these tumblers come into play. There are so many options to choose from, with products ranging from high-tech mugs to insulated tumblers that keep drinks the right temperature all day. One of the biggest hurdles of gift giving is finding something that the recipient will use and enjoy. This is a simple solution that she’ll absolutely love using every day. Bonus – she’ll remember how thoughtful you are every time she takes a sip!

5. Concert Tickets

A night out is always a good choice. If you have a band you both like, why not pick up a pair of tickets to their upcoming concert? You don’t have to break the bank either. Local band nights or showcases can be a great way to find your new favorites at a reasonable price.

If it's a bit bigger of a production, you can always get a group of friends together to split the cost of the gift, and all go together. You’ll make her birthday extra fun and memorable by including more friends in the event.

6. Audio Book Subscription

Driving, walking, traveling – all of these require time. Help her to make the most of that time by giving the gift of an audiobook subscription. Many authors have read their own books aloud, bringing an extra dimension to their work.

Audiobooks can be a great time filler, but they also can teach, inspire, and help the woman in your life to learn about topics she cares about. With a wide range of titles and easy download options, you’ll help her to whittle down her reading list in no time! You can even suggest that you listen to the same book and then meet to talk about it as a mini-book club.

7. Some Quality Spa Time

Everyone deserves to relax. It can be hard for people to find the time to go to a spa, but they are much more likely to go if it's a gift! There are many different types of spas; you are sure to find one that matches her relaxation preferences.

Some spas have packages where you can get facials together or side-by-side manicures if you want to make a day of it. Or, if the birthday girl could use some solo time, get her a gift certificate so she can schedule her appointment whenever suits her best.

8. Cozy Outfit

Being comfortable is one of the best gifts ever. Luckily, finding comfortable loungewear isn't hard to do! It's also a simpler option than buying most clothes because, for many types of loungewear, baggy clothes with more room are even better. So if you don't know her exact size, it shouldn't be a problem.

When she gets home to relax, make sure she has a comfortable outfit that makes her feel great. There are so many amazing materials like cashmere, flannel, organic cotton, and more. If you’re not sure about a full outfit, try a pair of cashmere socks.

9. Wine & Paint Night

Help her to get in touch with her artistic side and enjoy delicious drinks at the same time! Many bars and restaurants host these events to give patrons a new way to enjoy their nights. Most of the events don’t require you to bring anything either, making it a simple gift to give. Plus, she’ll walk away with a fun piece of art she made herself.

These paint nights are great group activities. They’re a fun chance to get together, laugh, and make something beautiful. If the gift recipient can’t decide on a way to celebrate her birthday, suggest these events. You can send an ecard invite to remind everyone of the upcoming event. Everyone who comes is sure to have fun, no matter if they are artistically talented or not.

10. Smart Home Gadget

Who doesn’t enjoy hearing a little robot read the news, tell you the weather, and help you keep on schedule? Smart home technology is getting better every year. There are many types to choose from, each with unique features that your recipient will use every day.

This gift will make her days easier, and it's perfect for anyone who is always forgetting to set an alarm or check their daily schedule. With reminders, alarms, and tons of other functions, smart home technology makes a really thoughtful and practical gift.

Remember, the most loved gifts are those with a lot of thought behind them. Consider what she likes and get her a gift that suits her personality. If you do, you can’t go wrong!
