remember: the best holiday luxury gift for a woman isn’t (necessarily) the most expensive one
It’s not all about extravagance (although that’s a perfectly fine choice if your budget allows it). It’s about finding that special something that she never knew she needed in her life. But it could also just as easily be something that she’d never get for herself, but you know she deserves. Whether it’s practical or totally whimsical, the common thread is that it becomes a source of joy and delight in her life.
