While gifting strengthens bonds, selecting presents can be a challenging task. Specifically, if we’re talking about women. When you are headed to purchase a gift for anyone, try to narrow down what sort of a person they are. This way, you will be better able to decide what to gift them.

That said, the preferences of working and non-working women are vastly different. A woman who spends half her day at the office, would like a present that can be useful there too. You’d think she doesn’t need a gift at all as she earns and can buy herself anything. But gifting is not about needs and wants. It’s about being thoughtful and expressing love.

If you’re scratching your head wondering what to purchase for your working lady friend, don’t worry. We’ve got your back! Here’s a list of 7 amazing gifts that the working women in your life are sure to appreciate. We’ve also picked out affordable options for you so that your pocket isn’t stressed out.

A Classy Handbag

A handbag is the best friend of a woman. Sharon Michaels who is a business coach also recommends gifting a “great looking” bag to a working woman in her Forbes article. You see, a woman with a career gives looking her most polished and best version at work a lot of importance.

Without a handbag, her look is incomplete. She takes one to meetings, to after-work gatherings, and everywhere else. Get her one when there’s an occasion for giving a gift - she’s sure to admire you for considering her requirements from this point of view.

A Flask

Adulting is tough. Even more so, if you have to deal with your boss and nagging office colleagues. It calls for the need of guzzling down a drink every now and then. While, of course, we’re not fans of drinking without limits, a shot or two to blow away the stress can’t hurt.

. Any workaholic lady will surely agree with this. Get her a classy flask as a gift if you’re sure it wouldn’t ruin her habits. If she’s sipping on booze anyway, better do it from a bottle that looks high-end.

A Matte Lip Kit

One thing every woman wants to make sure stays on? Lipstick. Working women find it annoying to have to redo their lipsticks every few minutes. Gift your girlfriend a bold lip color - one that doesn’t need to be reapplied anytime soon after application.

Sure, women have a lot of lip kits sitting in their drawers, but new makeup only makes them happier. Try to get her a new shade of a color you know she loves. If it will suit her, she’ll use it more often. And every time she does, she’ll remember who gave it to her.

Watch

A graceful watch always makes for a lovely gift. Not only are watches practical but owing to the fact that they come with a hint of bling, your woman is sure to adore your gift. Make sure to go for a watch that is stylish and trendy along with being feminine. Notice what type of watches this woman likes and go for similar features.

You can also go for a luxurious watch; one that is made of gold, silver or white gold. However, several affordable options are also available.

A Trench Coat

It’s no secret that trench coats have been the first choice of fashionistas for a long time now. The trend is only increasing its pace. Your working lady friend is sure to love this gift. A trench coat would match both her style and her needs. It’s a great idea because fall is here, and she’ll have to revamp her wardrobe soon.

Be sure to know her measurements before purchasing one as a gift for her. Try your best to be sneaky and subtle with finding which size would fit her best.

A Journal

This is another useful gift for boss babes. A woman who works, whether remotely or in-house, needs a journal. It can be for noting down any pointers, for managing her accounts, for planning her routine, etc. A journal that matches her personality but is not too funky would be a good idea. That’s because she can take such a journal with her to work as well.

If you are short on cash and would like to get discounts on gifts and presents, either buy from the sale section or by using a coupon. You can give her a leather journal if you’re looking for one that gives luxe vibes.

A Gift Card

If you are unsure of what she might like or not, give her a gift card. You can get her an Amazon gift card. Or you can give her one for purchasing office supplies, clothing or one of any store that she has a liking for. The best part about gift cards is that you are in no fear of your gift not being good enough.

The person you give them to has the freedom to pick whatever he or she likes best. Stats say that most gifts have 25% chance of being approved but gift cards? Their approval chances are higher at a 37% rating!

To sum up, when it comes to gifting be smart. Make sure you purchase a gift that the opposite person is sure to like. Working women tend to prefer things that might be of use during work hours as well. Go for classier options. And if nothing makes sense, just get a gift card.
