Sometimes finding the perfect gift for a woman of your acquaintance can be very trying. A hostess gift has to be attractive and priced right. A gift for a casual friend is normally less expensive than a gift for your best friend but it has to show that you put some thought into it. Finding a gift for a colleague at work is difficult because the acquaintanceship is not intimate but it is quite important and you have the disadvantage of not knowing her personal tastes. The pictured gifts may give you some ideas for your own and they do not have to be as expensive as the ones shown.
And how about : the latest best selling novel with a pretty book-mark. Pretty and festive dishtowels or Christmas inspired hand towels. I have noticed that lately they are making some very cozy and snuggly throws for curling up with a book . If you go to an import shop you will find gorgeous handmade or hand blown Christmas ornaments that will always be well received. With everyone being so germ conscious lately I have found ladies like to receive Pretty bottles of hand washing liquid with matching bottles of lotion. And you can always fall back on home made cookies in a colorful tin and of course, you can never fail with a box of very good chocolates. It's a busy time of year and you are always pressed for time. I make a list of people I want to buy gifts for and put a suggestion or two by each name so I don't wander aimlessly at the mall. Good luck my friends and Happy Holidays.
