Guys, listen up! You have a special lady to buy a unique gift for and you can't decide what to get. As the date gets closer the stress builds up and you fear that you'll never be able to find something she'll like. I'm sure you too were once at the end of your rope so you just went to the local department store only to find the old standby, the perfume that smells like the expensive stuff. Well, this time you're going to know what a woman wants!

Most men think that women only want to receive pricey and flashy gifts. Find her a gift she can use every day. Now I'm not suggesting you run down to the local convenience store and pick her up a 6 pack of deodorant as a practical cheap gift. However, if you spend a few moments thinking about whom you are trying to please, the ideas will come flooding to you.

Think about what your woman enjoys doing. Perhaps a cordless headset for her cell phone or a subscription to an audio book website would be the perfect gift idea.

Just because she's not a man doesn't mean she doesn't like sports. Which sport does she love best? Maybe some racquetball gear or new snorkeling equipment is exactly what she's looking for.

What kind of business is she in? Without question, she really needs a PDA or notebook computer, a high-class pen and pencil set, or a chair massager to keep her comfortable all day long. Remember, when she's happy at work she'll be happy at home.

Is she into the latest fashions? Where it's cold, try a cashmere sweater or a pair of leather boots. In any climate a designer watch will always make a great impression.

Does she love her car? If you lady tends to be practical, she'll love a car organizer kit that will keep her car tidy. Certainly, an In-Dash DVD player, a digital compass, or a new set of speakers would put the petal to the metal.

Women don't always show their practical side. However, they can be just as easy to please. If you're shopping for a romantic woman you will want to look carefully at culture and the arts. For the adventurous woman, focus on the outdoors, travel and leisure.

Is reading, music or playing a guitar part of your woman's life? If so, think of something like one of those new musical instruments she's been talking about learning, an audio book she can listen to at the gym, or great seats to a concert she's been dying to see. The extra concert ticket would not be for you but for one of her friends.

Is your adventurer in need of a new wetsuit, new binoculars, digital or film camera with all the extras, backpack, footwear, or plane tickets to a her favorite destination? Maybe a GPS system, a pedometer to aid in her fitness quest, a citywide treasure hunt is always fun, or how about you just take her on the weekend adventure of her choice? Remember, sometimes the most loved gifts for women are the ones that she can't hold in her hands.

Yes, women have the prerogative to change their minds but those that love chocolate, always love chocolate. A practical woman will always enjoy a practical gift. Romantic women will always appreciate any gift that expresses your love for her. Your adventurous lady can't wait to leap into something exciting and new. Think about what made her happy in the past and you'll find a gift idea for this year too. When the gift matches the person that it was intended for there it is magical -- and she'll remember it always.
