Birthday gifts for her

Birthday gifts for girls or women - whether bought by a man or a woman - are always problematic. Unless you know the person very well, and are absolutely sure about their size and their taste, clothes of any kind are not a good choice. The same goes for shoes. Flowers are always nice, but they can be over done. You may even have given flowers last year. Chocolates may be acceptable, but are you sure she hasn't just started a diet? Books or music may work, but only if you know her very well. Even then, she may have the book, CD or DVD you are thinking about already.

If you are a man looking for birthday gifts for her, jewelry may be just the thing to get, if you are romantically involved, or want to be, but are you sure she will like a particular piece? A tip - unless she has dropped a hint about something specific, forget about jewelry. There is nothing sadder or more wasteful than a pendant or brooch which never comes out of the jewelry box.

You may want to consider membership of a gift club for three months or more. This can be easily set up online, and because of the recent explosion in such clubs and their popularity, they are available for dozens of different gifts. You could choose a membership of a wine of the month club, or one for cheese, coffee, cookies, fruit, teddy bears, even flowers or chocolate if they are appropriate.
