After a few suggestions for the men in your life in our last issue, this week we’re focussing on the way to spoil all those girlfriends, wives, mums, aunts and grandmas out there!
Every lady needs a little pampering and Christmas is the best time to do so. With
the family together these holidays, it’s the perfect time to go all out with something that will give her a true treat.
We’ve got a great range of ladies clothing boutiques in Horbury and Ossett to support this festive season, where you could get a voucher or choose from the latest winter range if you dare!
Cooking is a passion for many people, and there are plenty of stores where you can buy cookware. Great gifts from stores like these include specialist cookware sets (e.g. think paella pans, woks, copper-based saucepans), famous brand crockery, delightful cake storage containers and elegant cutlery sets.
For the woman who enjoys creating art and craft, there are several excellent options. In terms of sourcing raw materials, don’t forget that vouchers from wool, fabric, and art supply stores are a great way to ensure that your loved one can select the materials that appeal to them and best meet their needs.
As we mentioned last week for men, a skillfully executed portrait is also something to contemplate. This can be achieved by arranging a photo shoot with a photographer or else providing an artist with a photo.
Think about updating their electronic equipment for teenage girls. The modern
smartphone has replaced the need for all sorts of other tech. Find out what kind of ‘device’ your teenager currently has and talk to their mobile network provider about an upgrade. Or buy an accessory such as a camera lens or a new case.
Men, we’re going to let you in on a secret: whatever you do, please halt when it comes to buying a generic beauty product pack containing perfumed talcum powder, soap, and bath salts. Also, don’t buy anything to do with a gym or weight loss.
In terms of providing your woman with experiences, think indulgent. Massages,
beauty and nail salons, reflexology and aromatherapy are all wonderful ways to say: “Thank you for all you do for me and our family. Here’s something just for you.” Consider arranging more than one session – think mid-January or early February after children return to school.
Another great experience is a road trip. How about a local UK holiday for just the two of you or planning a weekend abroad together for next summer? Somewhere like Paris or Prague is going to be accepted well after the year we’ve had!
As we wrote last week, no matter what sort of gifts you decide to provide the women in your life, don’t forget that the very best gift is time – the time you spend together sharing experiences, talking over the past and making new
memories.
