Something different
Another approach to gift ideas for women who have everything is to treat them to an experience, or introduce them to a new hobby. Memories don’t take up space round the house, and learning a new skill is great for wellbeing.
Classes or workshops – From pottery making to cake decorating or interior design, search local to find a weekend or evening class that she would enjoy – or that you can do together.
Colour matching – If she cares about style, you could treat her to a colour consultancy session to help her know which colours suit her and which don’t.
Stitch box – If she has always wanted to learn to knit, this knitting subscription box could be a great way to inspire her.
National Trust day out – With foreign holidays remaining a challenge for the foreseeable, a day out at one of Britain’s finest stately homes or castles could make for a nice change of scenery.
Gift Ideas for Women Who Have Everything
A thoughtful gift is a great way of telling someone you love them - even if they already have everything they want! At The British Blanket Company, we put a lot of thought into every one of our throws and scarves. Where and how a gift is made is as important as the gift itself. So make sure the gifts you buy are from businesses you trust. That way, you'll know the care that has gone into their creation.
