Once the twinkly lights appear, the decorated trees pop up everywhere and carols start playing in the malls, then you know it is time to do your Christmas shopping.  Gift shopping during Christmas can become quite horrendous and many people get caught up in the rush to buy gifts for everyone they know, as long as they can afford them.  Christmas is one of the rare times in the year when people feel selfless and would like to show everyone they know that they are appreciated and loved.

If you are going to buy gifts for women and suddenly find yourself stumped or out of ideas, then allow this guide to help you get back on track.  It is not very difficult to buy women gifts.  All you need is to do a bit of research before buying anything.

Buying a gift for a woman that is always impeccably groomed may take a little bit of work.  If you would like to buy them makeup, then you will have to be sure what colors will work well with their skin tone, eyes or hair.  This may take some trial and error.  If you would like to play it safe however, then beauty tools may be a safe bet.  Examples of these tools are lighted vanity mirrors, curling irons or a makeup brush set.

Charriol Wristwatch

If your recipient is active and is into sports, then she may appreciate getting sporting goods for Christmas.  For example, she may like to get a new gym bag, if you notice that the one she is using is already tattered.  If she is into wearing “fine” things, then giving her a  wristwatch may be a good idea.

A woman who likes to cook or decorate their house will certainly appreciate a gift that will enhance her domestic skills.  Getting her some things for the home will most likely go down well.  Small kitchen appliances such as a blender or a coffee maker may be enough to keep her happy.  Try to find out what sort of appliances she is needs to if something needs replacing.

Buying a woman a book will entail a bit of background checking.  If you are not entirely sure what sort of book you think she will like, just try to sneakily find out who her favorite author is what books are missing in her collection.  If that sounds a little tedious, then just try and find out what sort of genre she likes and get one of the bestselling titles.  A woman that is a voracious reader will definitely like whatever you give her, as long as she does not already have it.  Getting a rare edition of her favorite book is also an option.

Sponsoring your recipient’s spa trip is also a good gift option, especially for women who are eternally stressed.  They will most certainly enjoy a day of pampering in a spa, especially if they get a good massage and a little time in the sauna or steam baths.

Suggested gifts for women:
- make-up kit
- curling irons
- brush set
- gym bag
- pedometer
- book
- Spa gift certificate

I am personally mesmerized by most of the watches by their unique appearance and texture of the straps. Here are three of my favorite!

Kucha

For the ladies, i greatly recommend Kucha! Notice the claw-like design on the watch face?

Inspired by the African Savannah and a sense of freedom stirring the traveler. Tawny vistas, fierce warriors and proud nations with their identity still intact. Untamed instincts intermingle with the intoxicating, mysterious power of nature. A constant struggle, a world of danger: indomitable spirits, make your move! Nature at her wildest, where life is played out in a primitive, often cruel environment – only your intuition is between you and defeat. It’s time to use your claws …

Do you know that in Swahili, “Kucha” means claws? That’s how the watch got its name!

I am amazed at how the designer get the inspiration of this watch that truly reflects the mysterious power of nature. It does look dangerous and most importantly, unique. I really like the size of the watch face. So small that it looks good even on the skinniest hands or on the bigger wrists. I guess this has alot to do with the proportion of the watch face; with the size being small and squarish and the width being thicker.

On top of this, the dial is made of pink mother of pearl, which shines at every move with femininity. Even the straps seem to glow. The watch strap is made of Nil Perch leather, a kind of extremely huge fish, with a deploying buckle that shows only a sleek piece of metal when worn. Quartz movement is used, as well as a steel case. Charriol font is also engraved on the sides of the button.

If you dont fancy pink, the white Kucha looks just as pretty too!

Actor

Kucha is meant for the ladies but this Actor is unisex.

A collection of watches, launched in 1997, immediately recognizable with a case, engineered from a solid stainless steel block, fastened by four apparent screws and an adjusting and setting mechanism adorned with a shackle.

I like the details of the watch; it really reflects on how thoughtful the designer is, how much effort is put into creating this watch, making it exclusive and different. The shackle, especially, is totally unexpected. Loving the way how classy this particular watch looks like, the contrast between the black dial and arabic silver numerals and the crocodile skin leather strap. Completed with Quartz movement and steel case, this is definitely staying with you for years!

Timeless, classy, unique, detailed, high quality. What more do you ask for?

The Force

The Force is one of the Charriol watches Apple Bazaar is carrying. Featuring an oval dial horizontally positioned at the heart of a tonneau-shaped structure with elegantly discreet blued screws on the bezel, The Force steel watch collection expresses its sporting chic profile for females. Its other unique factor is the mother of pearl dial and contrasting colors of the numbers for both the men and the women. It’s not the usual identical couple watches you see in common shops. The male watch features prune colored numerals and the ladies in sea green.

Also, to express masculinity and femininity, the watch face for the male is made bigger and thicker in width while the ones for the females are thinner, more delicate looking and smaller in size.
