What Women Really Want - Gift Ideas For Your Favorite Female

Give her a hand-picked gift and make her feel special.

You have no idea what to get her. You can't ask her and you don't want to get her something that she'll hate, or worse, something you gave her last year. So take my quiz and find out what she really wants!

Step 1: The "What Kind of Woman is She" Quiz

Answer a few short questions to get an idea of what kind of woman she is.

1. When she's at a party where she doesn't know anyone, which question would she be most likely to start a conversation with?
a. So, what do you do for a living?
b. Do you have any children?
c. That's such a pretty blouse! Where did you get it?
d. Are we having fun yet, or what!?

2. What kind of car would she love to drive?
a. A newer model 4-door coupe.
b. A mini-van or truck
c. A smaller conservative car
d. A sporty, fast car or a Hummer

3. Her favorite kind of restaurant is:
a. One where the service is efficient and the atmosphere subdued.
b. One where they serve fries with everything.
c. The quiet, candlelit type.
d. A funky bistro or lively sports bar.

4. A Saturday afternoon might find her:
a. Reading the latest non-fiction book for professionals.
b. Hiking, biking, or on the side-lines of a soccer game.
c. Working on needlepoint or baking a pie.
d. Making plans for a party or trying a new hair color.

So, Who Is She?
If your answers were mostly A, she is a Business type.
If your answers were mostly B, she is an Outdoors type.
If your answers were mostly C, she is a Romantic type.
If your answers were mostly D, she is a Passionate type.

The following will give you some ideas on the kinds of gifts she'll really love you for.

Great Gifts for The Business Woman

This kind of woman loves to talk about her business, your business or business trends in general. She'll skip the Lifestyle section of the newspaper and head directly for the business section. This woman loves business but don't confuse her with the woman who has to work, but wishes she didn't. In that case, some of these gifts would fall flat. Go back and take the quiz, plugging in answers as if she wasn't in the workforce.

Great Gifts for The Outdoors Woman

This kind of woman loves the great outdoors. A tent is her favorite hotel. She owns more hiking boots than high heels.

Go back and take the quiz as if she lived in the country with no neighbors for miles.

For Every Woman - Fulfill Her Dream!

Great Gifts for The Passionate Woman

I'm not talking about the flirt or the seductress. This kind of woman loves to laugh - out loud! She doesn't care what other people are driving or wearing, she has a style all her own. She has an opinion and is not afraid to share it. She should not be confused with an introvert who thinks she has to entertain everyone around but secretly loves her solitude. If that's the case, retake the quiz as if she had lost her voice and moved to a foreign country.
