Unique Gifts for Her

By Sarah Smith

So what do you buy for the woman who has everything? It is a widely known fact that women can be notoriously hard to buy for. Whether they have selective, expensive or indecisive taste, even the best gift-giver can sometimes struggle. If you feel like breaking the mould of traditional gifts then maybe it's time to seek out an unusual gift for her.

Birthdays can always be a tricky celebration to buy for, especially if you are searching for a slightly different gift this year. But it needn't be difficult if you focus on creating something personal. Making a mixed CD or tape of songs from the year she was born could go down well, especially if you create your own artwork for the sleeve. In a similar vein, newspaper headlines from the month or day she was born can be put together to create a wonderful gift that recalls events surrounding her birth. These unique gifts will far outweigh a CD or piece of art bought from the high street and will show how much time and care you have put into her gift.

It is traditional in northern Germany for a couple to be presented with a bunch of parsley on their two and a half year anniversary. Although receiving herbs may not go down as intended with your love one (unless she is a chef!) you could take heed and give her something a little different this year. Your anniversary should always be treated as a special occasion. Take time, care and attention to find a unique gift - but this doesn't mean you need to spend a fortune. Why not make a scrapbook of photos and memories you have collected throughout your time together? The time spent making this will certainly mark you apart from someone who just goes out and buys a bunch of flowers.

A handmade Valentine's Day present is sure to go down a treat, and might even score as the pinnacle of thoughtful gifts! Take inspiration from the writers who have penned some of the great romantic British literature of the past and write your own words of affection for your loved one. By writing them in a book or framing your verses you can make something very special that will stand the test of time.

Like the suggestions above, a handmade gift will always stand out in appearance and sentiment. If you are struggling for time yourself, online boutique Seek & Adore has hundreds of handmade gifts that have been made with love so that you can give them with love. It could be just what you are looking for.
