Choosing gifts for Christmas can be a tricky matter, and some of us find it a real challenge having to do it year after year! However, if you’re really stuck for ideas this Christmas, why not consider these 5 great Christmas gift ideas for the special lady in your life.

50 Shades Of Grey: There’s no doubt that by now you’ll have heard something about the “50 Shades of Grey” phenomenon. It’s one of the biggest selling books ever and outsold the likes of “The Da Vinci Code” and other mega-hits within days of its bookshop release!

“50 Shades of Grey” is a great choice for a number of reasons. Firstly, it’s already a massive hit and everyone’s talking about it. Buying this for your wife or girlfriend will let her get in on that. Because it’s a work of erotic fiction, it’s also a great choice if you want to spice up your love life! What’s more, there are two sequels to the book, so if your partner likes the first one then you can rely on these as future presents.

Kindle / Kindle Fire: If your wife or girlfriend likes reading and enjoys the occasional gadget, then one of Amazon’s Kindle products could be a great choice. The standard Kindles are all designed for reading e-books. Each Kindle can store thousands of e-books, and is designed to appear similar to the page of a book by getting rid of the back-light that a computer screen usually has. That makes it less of a strain on the eyes to read for long periods of time.

If you want to go one or more steps up from this, then there is also the Kindle Fire / Kindle Fire HD range. These are tablets from Amazon that allow you to read books but also to browse the web, download apps, stream movies and more. They’re well designed and do a great job without breaking the bank.

Cosmopolitan Magazine Subscription: If you don’t know what Cosmopolitan magazine is then you must have been living under a rock for most of your life. This is the premier women’s magazine that covers all kinds of subjects from health and beauty to sex and relationships. A subscription to the magazine will give your loved one something to look forward to all year long, with subscriptions currently going at unbelievable prices.

HSI The Styler Ceramic Tourmaline Ionic Flat Iron Hair Straightener: If your partner is keen on beauty products, or just likes to straighten her hair, then these straighteners could be a great choice. They’ve been receiving rave reviews for a while, and do a great job for a decent price.

Some of their major features are 1-inch ceramic plates, high top temperature and manual temperature control. They’re great quality and you can be sure that, even though they have a relatively unknown brand name, they’ll do a fantastic job. If you’re not sure, just look them up on Amazon and check out the reviews! A guaranteed hit for any lady in need of some straighteners.

Vera Wang By Vera Wang For Women: Perfume: not the most original of gifts, but a timeless classic. Few people are disappointed when they receive a nice perfume for Christmas. That’s because most of us associate perfume with special occasions, and wearing perfume makes us feel our best. What’s more, perfume lasts for a long time. If you buy one of the larger bottles, there’s a good chance that even if it’s used every week a bottle of perfume will still be around by next Christmas!

Vera Wang by Vera Wang perfume is one of the best and most desirable perfumes on the market. Sure, it’s a little bit expensive. But any financial setback will be more than made up for by the pleasure it gives your partner every time she puts it on. A truly great Christmas gift.
