1. Great Jewelry
Every woman wants at least one special piece of jewelry. Gold hoop earrings or a strand of beads that a contemporary Helen Roper would die for—these pieces of jewelry are always fun gifts to get.
Rings can give the wrong signal to some women. So steer clear of them unless you know what you are getting into. If I were buying for myself, though, I would get this Tiffany Elsa Peretti wave ring in silver or gold. What is it about Tiffany blue that gets me?

3. Trip of a Lifetime
Where has she always wanted to go or go back to? Italy? Morocco? Japan? Has she always wanted to sail in a hot air balloon over Santa Fe? Maybe she wants to rent a villa in Noto.
Bali used to sound nice, but unfortunately, Indonesia just passed a ban on sex between unmarried people, including foreign residents and tourists.
Along with punishing sex and co-habitation outside marriage with jail terms, the code also outlaws “defamation” of the president and state institutions and expands the definition of blasphemy. As it applies to “everyone,” there is also concern about it affecting foreign tourists.

Whether you are married or not, I recommend you stay away from Bali for now. Other countries that have similar bans include Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Iran—the usual suspects that you may not visit anyhow because of what seems to be constant unrest and/or strict adherence to draconian laws.
On a side note, I’d love to see Persepolis some day. But not while Iran is executing teens for protesting against the regime.
4. Gorgeous Book
Who doesn’t love a coffee table book? Or a beautifully packaged book on a subject we adore?
I’m obsessed with those artistic compendia from Taschen, Rizzoli, and the like. Taschen books are pop culture-funky while Rizzoli books have a sort of sexy elegance or elegant sexiness. They’re Italian so…

7. Freedom
Women also seem to have been very effective as spies behind enemy lines, using their phones to report on Russian troop locations and movements.
“I really wanted this area to be liberated,” said Albina Strelets, 33, explaining why she spied on Russian forces and transmitted information to the Ukrainian side. She was arrested and spoke to me above the jail and torture chamber where Russians detained her for 16 days in August.
