Gift Ideas for the Truly Stumped
I always tell my husband women are so so easy to shop for. I'm thinking that is because every time I go anywhere I can find something I need, want, or have to have. 9 times out of 10 I end up putting it down and leaving empty handed because I don't actually need or have to have it I just want it. Which is a good thing. But this year as I've been looking for gifts for the women in my life I've been having a hard time and I'm a woman! This should be easy.
Since I've spent hours of time surfing the internet for the perfect gift I thought I would share some of my fun finds with you. Maybe it will help you buy for that sister in law that you see once or twice a year, your mother in law, co worker, or friend. Anyway, hope it helps give you some ideas. Happy Gifting.
TIME to Go-WATCHES
While some hate jewelry quite a few women don't mind watches. Try to get one a little different then the standard ticker and it will work as a fashion statement and a time keeper. This one from Kolh's come in at $29.99 but is currently on sale for $19.99.
