With the holidays season soon to come into full swing, it is once again that time of year to put your thinking cap on to find the best christmas gifts for girlfriend. One or two well thought out gifts can make the difference between being in her good graces and being in the dog house.

To spark some ideas consider these popular gifts that women love to have.

Gift Certificates: Anyone loves to get a gift card that they can use at their favorite stores or restaurants. The key is to make it personal by being sure it is a place she will love to shop. For an added bonus try something a bit luxurious such a a certificate to a hair salon, nail salon, or spa. This will help her to feel extra pampered and give her something to look forward to during a tough week.

Books: By asking questions about authors or topics she enjoys over time it will become easy to pick out the perfect books for her to enjoy. Pay attention to the format (ebook, hardcover, paperback, audio, etc) that she likes for an added personal touch.

Jewelry: Almost any woman loves to get jewelry as a gift. While woman can go out and buy their own sparkle the accessory becomes so much more special when it has been given by a person they love. It will help them smile all day long and think of you whenever they wear it. Try to pay attention to the type of jewelry she wear most. The type of metal is important as some women prefer to wear only yellow gold while others prefer silver or white gold. A nice pair of earrings, a beautiful pendant, a sophisticated watch all make for a gift to be remembered and treasured.

Perfume and Lotions: If your girlfriend wears a particular scent try to find out the name of it. Often woman will have more than one favorite that they use depending on their mood. Depending on your budget you many wish to buy just the favorite lotions or go for a more expensive perfume set.
