This holiday season, be sure to stop by your nearest Sephora or Ulta and pick up an eyeshadow palette or a liquid lipstick for your girl!

Purse: A purse is something a woman will always need. There are so many different types of bags – the crossbody bag, the tote bag, and the clutch are just a few different types. If you’re a guy and you’re reading this you probably have not a single clue as to what any of those bags are. Don’t fret! The easiest and probably most versatile purse to buy would be a handbag, which is big enough to fit all of a woman’s necessities – wallet, phone, car keys, makeup mirror and so on. Handbags come in many sizes, styles, and colors so choose the one that you think your loved one will like best! You can find nice quality and decently priced purses at Target.

Nail gift certificate: Getting a manicure can be very pricey, considering the fact that today people have multiple options when it comes to the type of manicure they would like to get. You can get regular polish, gel polish, dip powder, and acrylic. Manicures and pedicures are a time for women to relax and pamper themselves. With that being said, any woman would love to receive a nail gift certificate as a present! 

Spa gift certificate: As we approach the end of the year, it is quite easy to find ourselves in a state of stress, simply because so much is happening at the same time. A spa gift certificate would be perfect for any girl who is stressed out and needs some time to unwind. Most women don’t necessarily book spa time for themselves because relaxation is something that slips the mind during busy times. Giving your significant other a spa gift certificate is basically giving her a gift she didn’t even know she wanted. Any woman will be extremely appreciative of this gift – who wouldn’t be?

Clothes: This is a broad topic, but women always want new clothes, especially during the holidays. Sweaters and flannels are perfect for the winter weather – a great store to find both of these clothing pieces would be American Eagle, which constantly holds sales throughout the December month. Jeans and comfy (but cute) sweatpants are also a must during the winter season. High quality jeans can be purchased both at Abercrombie or American Eagle, and sweatpants can typically be purchased wherever, but a fan favorite tend to be Nike joggers, so if you’re looking for some soft sweatpants definitely check out the Nike outlet or the Nike website.

Shoes: This is another broad topic, but a pair of shoes can ultimately make or break the perfect outfit. Girls love Vans, Ugg slippers, Adidas sneakers, and cute booties. Every woman is different, so do a little research and find out what shoe is missing from her wardrobe, or find out what type of shoe you think she would appreciate/compliment her style the most!

Tickets to a Broadway show:  Going to see a Broadway show is something that everyone must experience at least once in their life. Broadway shows are so magical, especially in the winter. Take your loved one to see a Broadway show, followed by a nice dinner and a walk throughout the city.
