As women grow older, their tastes change too. You will also have to keep in touch with them to know their change in tastes. You cannot gift them the same thing you had gifted them in their 20’s and expect them to like it and react in the same positive manner. Also women above forty are just beginning to set themselves and become a little rigid in their tastes. So this Christmas, if you a sister, a mother , a girlfriend or a wife who is over forty, do a little research before you gift her something. It is always better to ask them what they want before assuming that you know everything about them. In case you cannot ask them, it would be safe to stick to certain things that are common for women of all ages. Here are a few tips to help you buy Christmas gifts for women over forty.

1. Do not buy her an iron because she presses your clothes for you

Most men do this mistake and get some pretty nasty reactions from their wives. Just because she does it does not mean that she loves it. And an iron and other household items as a gift would only infuriate her. It is best to stay away from buying practical stuff and household things as gifts.

2. Candles

You may think that those scented candles serve no purpose and are a waste of time and money. But there is a reason you find them lined up on the shelves and the reasons is that women like them. Buy her a scented candle as a gift or get one of those LED candles that can be operated with a remote if you still want to put your ideas into the gift.

3. Bags

If she is a working woman, the bag needs to be stylish and a little severe. It also has to have many pockets in it so she can put in as many things as possible in different compartments and find them easily when she wants to.
