Best Christmas Gift Ideas for Women
Firstly, diamonds are a girl's best friend and timeless gifts such as diamond tennis bracelets or diamond stud earrings always make some of the best Christmas gifts for a wife or girlfriend to show that you do not take her for granted. Before purchasing diamonds, be sure that you buy from a reputable jeweler and consider the four "C"s involved with diamonds - cut, color, carat and clarity.
If you are not in a position to make a significant Christmas gift purchase, cheaper Christmas presents that will be appreciated include items such as a spa gift certificate. You can always score a homerun with a gift certificate to a spa. Women thoroughly enjoy any gifts that allow them to relax and get pampered with any combination or facials, mani/pedi, massage, etc. Gift certificates to spas are some of the best Christmas gifts ideas for wife or girlfriend.
Another one of the best Christmas gift ideas for wife or girlfriend are girlfriend's getaways that are becoming more and more popular and allow women to connect with their girlfriends while on vacation lazing on the beach, shopping, getting pampered. Many resorts offer various girlfriend's getaway packages and this will be a much appreciated Christmas present if you get this for her and a few of her girlfriends.
While coming up with the best Christmas gift ideas for wife or girlfriend, it is also important to consider your wife or girlfriend's interests and hobbies. Based on what she enjoys doing, you can tailor Christmas gifts that you give to her to be in line with her interests and hobbies. If she is an avid reader, get her the latest model Kindle or an iPad. If she is into running or other fitness, get her the latest generation iPod or MP3 player. Thoughtful gifts are some of the best Christmas gifts by far.
Another great Christmas gift idea is to get your wife a gift certificate for maid service. If she is a stay at home mom or an extremely busy career woman who does the majority of the housework, giving her the gift of maid service shows how much you care and appreciate her. If you are extremely budget conscious, you can come up with a homemade book of coupons for such things as doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning the house, etc so that she can cash in her coupons every now and then for a day or night off from these chores while you do them.

QUESTION:
Good homemade christmas gifts for kids?
I'm really, really broke this christmas so I thought I'd make presents for my little sisters this year. Any ideas on what I could make? (One is 12 and quite tomboyish and the other is 7 and pretty girly)-
ANSWER:
Make them personalized stationary and then buy an inexpensive pencil set to go with it.
If you have a scroll saw then make them a wooden puzzle. First draw your design, paint it, saw it, then touch up the paint on the edges. You can find images to fit their personality, ot create your own in photoshop maybe with a picture of them
You can make them a bird feeder set by basically preparing all of the pieces and making directions for them to put it together. Then they can paint them with their own design
If you have a tree big enough then gather some scrap wood from construction sites and build them a tree house. If the construction sites are fenced off then go when you see guys working and ask if you can have some of the scraps. They will gladly let you take them because it is less work for them to have you haul it away.
You can make jewelry. Go to your local thrift store and look for inexpensive jewelry. You can usually find beads and fake stones for less than a dollar.
Hope this helps and have fun!
