A very personalized gift is an excellent way to show how much you care and understand the woman in question, she might be a girlfriend, wife, aunt, sister, niece, cousin or a friend you know really well.

Firstly you need to buy a purse, or handbag. This initself would make a wonderful gift, but it can be made even more special by personalizing it for the lady it is being given to and here's how.

A purse, handbag with lots of pockets in and around it is what you need to purchase because you are going to add an extra element of surprise to the main gift, the purse / handbag. If you want to buy an expensive purse you can. Maybe a leather purse for quality and if your budget will allow it. But you don't have to buy leather there are many different materials around, hey, are you good at making things? You could even make the purse yourself.

You are going to have so much fun preparing this gift that word will get round and every female you know will want one too!

Count the number of pockets in and around the purse this will give you an idea of how many things you will need to fil them. The beauty of this gift is that although it is for someone else you will be sure to have a lot of fun filling it up. Some pockets will be small, lipstick or lipgloss size, do you see where this is going? Some pockets will be larger but this doesn't mean you have to buy expensive items to go in them. What does the woman like? Does she like to carry a pen and notepad around with her, if yes you could buy a small pocket notebook and a lovely girly ballpoint pen to go with it. Does she carry a diary, if she does you could buy her a lovely diary for the coming new year. This gift is great for Christmas. A small packet of tissues could fit in one pocket, inexpensive but very useful!

This gift can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be, but the point it is making is that you have taken the time to make it highly personal and this will be sure to please. If you decide to give this gift for Christmas you could start earlier in the year, this will also help spread the cost of the overall gift and give you more time to select items you know the lady will like.

Does the woman always carry candy with her, if so you could buy her her favorite, or gum for example, just be sure to check the use by date on the packet. A small tube of her favourite hand cream, lip salve, a fine scarf, a necklace or ring, There are endless things that you can put in it, let your imagination run wild.

The look on the woman's face when you give her this gift will be all the thanks you need, as she opens each pocket and finds yet another surprise in it !
