So, what is the perfect gift for her that hasn’t already been thought of or given?
It’s funny. You can know someone so well, and still not have the slightest clue as to how you can sufficiently show your love and appreciation for that person, when the occasion presents itself.
That’s exactly how I feel every time Mother’s Day comes around and I can never seem to think of a gift for my mother.
This tends to be the case on more than just Mother’s Day. I struggle with trying to find the right gift for many women in my life, on the many special days throughout the year that we feel inclined to show a little extra love.
When I sat down to come up with a few good ideas for this Mother’s Day that I hadn’t yet considered, I realized there are actually many things that would make perfect and unique gifts for a few women in my life.
Check out these really cool gift ideas for women with any hobby or interests, and for any special day of the year!

4. San Disk Flash Drive For Safe Photo Storage
Over the years, I have become especially fond of those little gadgets, called flash drives. In a society that communicates and relys upon visuals, we are constantly taking photos, downloading apps, and sharing videos of sorts.
Before you know it, that storage space that came with your device, is completely full and you must remove some items to be able to continue adding more to your favorites! Having the ability to move files quickly to a separate device, is super convenient and necessary.
A flash drive with ample storage, is a great idea for anyone who wishes to safely store their photos and other memorable files.
5. iMemories
This keepsake service is another awesome gift idea, especially for mothers and grandmothers! You accumulate so many memories over the years that you want to hold on to. Yet, technology changes all the time.

It’s personal, elegant, and a gift she will appreciate it!
7. Multi-Purpose Bluetooth Wireless Speaker/Charger
If she has an iphone, this nifty little device is super useful and compact at the same time. It is an alarm clock. A bluetooth speaker. A charger. A nightlight and a radio, all in one.

Any high end chocolate treat is a score, in my book! Let’s face it. We women do enjoy a delicious, quality treat that goes far beyond the average.
Anything Godiva, Ferrero Rocher, or truffle oriented, is a gift she will love and savor!
2. Home Cooked Meal
The saying might go, “The way to a man’s heart, is through his stomach.” I say that also is true for women! Anytime I’ve been given the gift of delicious food, I tend to remember that gift a little more than others.

3. Breakfast Sampler Gift or Charcuterie Gift Box
Gourmet food baskets or combination gifts of any kind, are always a safe bet, especially if it is tailored to that person’s taste buds!

However, if you would prefer to leave the arranging to the experts, these two companies are great for more specific themes.
Stonewall Kitchen has a beautiful selection of breakfast baskets…something a lot of women can appreciate.
Harry and David are great for charcuterie type gifts, as well as chocolates!

7. Baked Sweet Treats
Gourmet baked gifts are another idea that’s perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. I’ve both, recieved and given gifts in the past that were eclairs, biscotti, cannoli, and a few other goodies.

4. Personal Safety Alarm For Women
All the bells, whistles and lights! The Birdie is a great little safety device that every woman should own.
Too often, you hear stories of muggings and other situations of ill will that people run into every single day. As a woman, it is even more crucial to take precautions when out and about alone!
This device doesn’t cause physical harm to perpetrators. What it does do though, is cause harm to their plans, ears, and attempts at criminal behavior.
