Women are unique so as men, but this is about giving gifts for women so it's high time you understood what makes women tick. The real woman with a gentle heart no matter how career-oriented she may be has a soft spot for gifts that are given unexpectedly.
These women gifts usually are what's left in their memory each time they think of a person. That makes it easy to give your bridesmaid or your girl friend a gift to express your gratitude or simply to give how I would like you to remember me by gift.
What could be a good example of this? A lily refrigerator magnet would leave an indelible mark on her if she loves to collect anything that has a lily on it. So in lieu of that neck tattoo that she wants to have, you can give her the lily magnet; this she can use in her personal fridge at the office or at her special kitchen. You simply don't want her to etch something on her soft, delicate skin.
Another good example for women gifts is a small giraffe toy to remember your exciting trip to the zoo together with her. This is especially true if you had a memorable experience in the zoo that has to do with giraffes. If it's with a bear, then by all means, give her a bear. It's a surefire way to rekindle old flames or enliven the friendship you share with your best friend.
Women also love to take a long bath to feel refreshed and to de-stress themselves. Thus, one thing that catches the fancy of women is anything that she can use in the bath or the tub. Give her a body scrub or a milk bath of chamomile or whatever is her favorite scent. There are also scented candles that she might like to use when she fancies having a long bath on the tub with candles around her. It's more than just setting up a romantic scene, rather to make her feel like she's some place else, perhaps the Caribbean. Indeed, scents can bring you to places you're only imagined.
An example of small yet memorable women gifts is a cookie cutter. If she is fond of baking or cooking then she is more likely to get amazed with the different shapes that these cookie cutters have. If it's the holiday season, then you can give her a Christmas tree shaped cookie cutter.
Women gifts don't have to be expensive since the real women value things that are not brought when they are given whole heartedly.
