Is there a woman in your life who puts everybody else first even when she’s struggling herself? The woman who remembers every birthday, plans family events, takes people to hospital appointments, feeds their pets, remembers to check in to make sure everybody’s OK. Women like this are the best of us but often, because she always looks like she’s on top of everything, it’s easy to forget to check that she’s happy and taken care of! This blog will help you to find the perfect gift to say ‘thank you for being the strong and supportive bad-ass woman you are’, because somehow, we don’t think a generic pair of supermarket slippers is enough!

Empowering Gifts for the Woman Who Never Asks for Anything

These are the woman who are the hardest to buy for; they’ll always say they’re fine, or

 don’t worry about me, or don’t bother and save your money for yourself instead. They’ll always step back when there’s 6 tickets for 7 people and hear themselves saying ‘Oh don’t worry, I wasn’t that bothered anyway’ when they’re really thinking ‘Oh I’m gutted, I was

really looking forward to that’.

A strong and self-sacrificing woman like this deserves the occasional treat. A thoughtful gift that reflects the energy she always showers on others. An empowering gift that makes her feel special, celebrated and a little bit spoilt! This is where we come in!

Why not make your surprise present into a gift box to really make her feel special and spoilt rotten? An affectionate card and a heartfelt message could just make her feel so loved that she wells up!

Go the Extra Mile

Adding a hand-written note (by yourself or us) sends the message that you really care, you’ve taken the time to put some real thought and effort into sending a gift box that’s personal and individual. It’s all about making your loved one feel special. Share an inside joke or a childhood story for that touch of nostalgia, or an uplifting message if supportive is what you’re going for. Try ‘For your next tough morning’ or ‘You’re going to smash this interview’ or ‘It’s their loss’. Let’s not forget that we’re the Laughing Sisters, so try pairing sassy with thoughtful or hilarious with heartfelt to create a truly unforgettable and empowering gift!

Unexpected Gift-Giving Tips

1.      Write the message that you wish someone would say to you! We’ve all felt overwhelmed or unappreciated at one point or another haven’t we, ladies? Think about what would’ve given you a boost and made you smile, then do that for somebody else!

2.      Aim for pure happiness, rest or giggles. Give her something she’d never buy for herself. Us women have a bad habit of feeling the need to justify everything we buy for ourselves or every minute we take for ourselves. It doesn’t need to be useful or sensible… sometimes it can just be joyful!

3.      Celebrate the small wins! Why not send a gift for something daft but relatable… Well done for surviving the school holidays, congratulations for growing your first tomato, woohoo for your first full night’s sleep with a toddler! You get the idea. Just spread loveliness because it makes us happy!

How do you thank a woman who says she doesn’t need anything?
