Occasionally, women are very difficult to shop for just like men. Although you know her so well, it may still be hard to please her with personal taste in items like clothing, perfume, music or books. She might not want some things or already has that CD of her favorite artist. Ditto on books. She might even be allergic to perfumes and sensitive to other stuff that you are not aware of.

Here’s an idea that is sure to please and is appropriate for almost any gift occasion. Creative gift baskets for women are easy and fun to put together and reflect your thoughtfulness.

If your giftee is never found without a cup of coffee or tea, try filling her basket with an assortment of gourmet coffees or teas, along with a nice mug or cup. Specialty coffee shops always have a nifty stock of accessory items too.

A commonly appreciated gift basket for women is a bath basket.
