THE TRAVELER
Capes, Open Cardigans and Shawls
Traveling always requires dressing in layers for changing climates. A beautifully made cape, open cardigan, or shawl could be a great gift for a woman who travels. The best thing about this gift is the sizing is often one size fits all or simplistic enough to make it easy to purchase the right sized garment.
Leather Travel Bag
What traveler doesn’t need a sturdy travel bag in the perfect carry on size? Leather bags tend to be more durable than other bags with the added benefit of classic style and convenience.
THE HOSTESS
Carafe and Glass Set
Anytime there’s a gathering, you need something beautiful to put drinks in. A Carafe and glass set is a great gift for the ultimate hostess. Some sets can be customized online or at your local engraving store for an added personal touch.
Serving Trays or Boards
Whether light hors d’oeuvres or a deliciously prepared meal, serving trays and boards are essential in a well-executed gathering. Like the carafe and glass set, these items can also be personalized to add an extra special touch.
THE FASHIONISTA
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a fashionista’s best friend! Find a pair that reflects your loved one’s personality and style. Be sure to choose a pair that properly frames their face shape. Two reasons this is always a great gift are the wrinkle and sun protection sunglasses provide.
Kimono or Robe

Magnifier Light for Crafts
Crafts often involve small pieces or serious attention to detail. A combination free standing magnifier and light can be the perfect gift for a woman into crafts.
THE TECHIE
Stylish Smartwatch
Smartwatches continue to evolve into elegantly designed highly useful wearable tech. According to Lifewire article, Wearables and Accessories from Your Favorite Fashion Brands, “high-end brands have recognized the appeal of wearable devices, and both devices and accessories from fashion houses offer consumers a great way to customize tech that can otherwise look sporty or simply cookie-cutter.” This could be an excellent gift for the tech-savvy modern woman that loves a stylish flair.
