What to give a woman for Easter, Women's gift buying made easy.

4/4/2015

Have you ever wondered what a woman would really like to have for her holiday gifts? For some this question is quite a tiffy! If you are looking to give the best gifts without emptying the bank, here are some very thoughtful gifts that are sure to be appreciated and remembered, and get you ranked on the best gift giver list!

This Easter gift spread sure did surprise my sister in law when she saw it coming down the hallway. For us women we do still very much enjoy the childhood memories such as Chocolate bunnies, and candy. However we just do not consume as much as we did when we were younger. Purchasing small snack size and individually wrapped chocolates are always my #1 choice as they can travel in the purse ;)

One main thing about my sister in law is that she is a cat LOVER. She has several, and gives back by volunteering at a local animal shelter. Knowing that this is something she loves, I turned to Etsy to find a super cool item for her kitties. I found the Organic Catnip Fortune Cookies from Google, searching a picture that a friend had shown me, Yep I was not giving up until I had a order placed!
I found Miso Handmade on Etsy, she has a wonderful selection of handmade pet toys. Even for dogs too, check her page out. I contemplated on these guys for about 30 minutes over the below catnip bunnies. They are so unique, and guaranteed to be a conversation piece!

While I was browsing Etsy I decided to find my sister in law an aromatherapy pillow, which can be used as a hot/cold pad too! I recently purchased a sinus mask and love it, living in the Ohio Valley really has it's drawbacks for the allergy suffers. Which in today's statistics that's 1 in 3 kids! WHAT!

My sister in law likes the things that are very much different than the things I prefer. As for me, I find delight in a Eucalyptus bath that makes your skin tingle, while she finds her fancy in scents to be in the Flower and Fruit aromas. I searched t he keyword eye pillow, and OH MY did the pages pop up, so I narrowed the search to Blueberry, Pomegranate, aromatherapy pillow. And that is where I found another wonderful Etsy seller whom is local to the Kentuckiana area. She was nice enough to arrange a local pickup which was even more amazing than finding the perfect scent for my sister in law.
I also stocked up on these, as I use them everyday and I like to have options, and variety. The 2 scents that I purchased for myself were the Chai and the Mocha which smell AMAZING. These come with a very well thought out, removable pillow design. This is a must if you will use the product frequently as the pillow slip will need to be cleaned. I highly recommend purchasing this option.

The aromatherapy pillow even came packaged with one of my favs, tea. Perfect for those of us who drink hot beverages. I will definitely purchase again
for gifts as she has a wide variety of hot and cold packs.
Some even are perfect for baby showers, like this kid's bruise soother.
I love this local store, check out her items here Simpleigh Crafted.

Of course I included spa and relaxing items. 2.25 LBS of Sugar Scrub for $18 only from from Frankly...Try This, and of course the all time fav, a bath fizz.

I also knew she was searching for some new eye cream, I was able to find this Say Yes to Blueberries in stock locally. Well it was the last one left, these are always sold out in my area.

For favor finishing, I found some travel sized bubble bath, and included a much different version of a chocolate bunny. One that I find appeals to almost anyone. You can't forget Peeps, I was able to find Mystery Peeps, (which I am still clueless to what flavor
they were).

These are the all time Easter Essentials to include, you can also incorporate small home decor items into the basket.
I found a really large paper mache-ish egg at the local Wal-Mart.
Make sure to finish the gift off with nice wrapping in either a basket or bag, (in my case both) and you are done! Give the gift that will be the best gift yet! Personalize your gift with unique, handmade items from Etsy, and don't forget to incorporating the childhood favorites for a gift that you can't get anywhere else.
