Special Coupon Gifts

• Show her you care with a coupon that devotes your time to her needs. For example, if she's a harried mother offer to babysit her children while she takes some time for herself. Babysitters make up to $12 an hour so offering your services for free would be invaluable for any exhausted mom in desperate need of "me" time.
  
  Another idea is to offer a coupon for free dog walking or a free car wash. You could also cook her dinner or offer to be the maid for the day.
  
  

Adventure Gifts

• You would probably like to send her on an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris, but when you are on a budget you'll need to be a little more creative. If she loves danger, spend $75 to $100 for her to go bungee jumping or even sky diving. If she prefers to stay close to the ground, offer to take her hiking or mountain biking at a local wooded park.
  
  Another adventure you to could arrange for her would be a trip to the art museum in a nearby city to see a new exhibit or just take her for high tea at a local tea house. Some people don't take advantage of local tourist attractions so visit local monuments or historical sites in her area.
  
  Sweets or chocolate can be a sweet adventure, so purchase a small box of specialty chocolates from the local candy store or pick up a small box of cupcakes or pastry from a popular bakery.
  
  

Useful Gifts

• When in doubt, pick up a gift card for iTunes, Starbucks or a local retailer. iTunes and Starbucks gift cards can be purchased in small amounts and some retail stores allow you to select the amount.
  
  Another idea is to purchase a special cookbook by her favorite chef or novel by her favorite author. If she loves to workout you could purchase an inexpensive yoga ball or a exercise DVD as a gift.
  
  A busy career woman could use a special skin for her iPhone, Blackberry or laptop. You could also give her a new earpiece or even a cute mouse pad or mouse for the computer. Purchase a decorative business card holder if she hands out a lot of business cards or you could create special stationary for her, using paper from the stationary store and your computer.
