Relax

For a woman who puts in a long day at work and then comes home to start her second "job," a gift that offers her a way to unwind and relax can be a gift she will especially appreciate. If she has a frequent complaint of sore feet, a foot massager could be the ideal gift for her. If you've got a bit more to spend, a gift certificate to a spa or weekend retreat are gifts sure to bring her a sense of peace.

Entertain

An evening full of entertainment that you know she will love is a marvelous way to say "Happy birthday" to a daughter, girlfriend or wife. This could include a play or rock concert, perhaps followed by a late night supper with a few turns on the dance floor. Alternatively, if you are looking for the perfect way to show a grandmother how much she means to you, rent a restaurant for an evening, invite the whole family and hire a singer to sing some of her favorite tunes.

Surprise

Another birthday gift for a woman could be one that is unexpected. If you are working with a limited budget or if it's a gift that a child or teen will be giving Mom, think about a gift of doing something for the woman in your life for a period of time. This type of gift could be a week of breakfast in bed or a week of cooking dinner. Or you might clean the house or do a thorough cleaning of her car. If a teenage girl is celebrating her sweet 16, then a gift of a necklace with 16 birthstone gems would be appropriate.
