A classic blazer
For whom? This is for a couple who have been together for a while but don't necessarily live together. You can wear a blazer with anything, but do you have one that's sufficiently versatile? A classic, timeless piece you'll have for the rest of your life? Probably not. She can find a perfect specimen here.
A great iPod dock
For whom? This is for more serious couples who have taken at least a couple of trips together. Playing music off your computer is fine at home, but what happens when all your friends rent a cabin in the woods for a long weekend and you want to bring some tunes along? A small but powerful set of iPod speakers are essential for a man who loves music but also loves to travel. She can start her search here.
A fine single malt
For whom? Only a true lover of whisky will appreciate this, but if that's what you are, this is a dream gift. If she really knows how to make you happy, she'll buy you a high-quality rocks glass to sip this out of.

Gift Ideas For Those Who Need to Relax : If you’re a sewing novice this project is for you. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t relish a bit of extra warmth in the colder months, so a heatable pillow filled with rice or wheat with lavender is quite a practical gift. You can personalize it by dictating the fabric utilized or screen-printing a message on it— just make sure you use 100% natural materials that are microwave-safe. Check out this awesome tutorial for a hand-made lavender eye pillow.

Jewelry
While it may be true that diamonds are a girl's best friend, gold, silver, platinum, precious gems and semi-precious stones are also high on the wish-list for this holiday season. In fact, the jewelry business has been strong all year with sales up more than 11% from last year, according to the Jewelry Industry Research Institute and a strong commodities market for metals pushed for increased numbers. In spite of the recession fears, which may put a damper on other retail sectors, purchasing jewelry and accessories is often seen as a way to spruce up one's wardrobe without having to buy a closet full of new clothes.
Clothing and Apparel
Let's face it, some women want to look good no matter what the economy dictates. So, one can never go wrong with a gift of the latest fashion. Jeans, sweaters, coats and boots top the list of must-have items for holiday gift-giving, and according to research firm ShopperTrak, an increase of 2.7% is expected for sales of apparel and accessories. According to PriceGrabber, 66% of shoppers surveyed plan to select apparel for gifts this holiday.
Electronics and Appliances
Sales figures tell us that women also like electronic gadgets, like eReaders, iPods, iPhones and mobile devices, but for different reasons than men. Women like to stay in touch and catch up on the latest celeb gossip rather than search for news and sports. And developers have tapped into that female market with stylish and fun devices as well as applications that appeal to women with busy schedules, such as grocery, doctor and fashion magazine apps.
