This self-help book is a great read for women of all ages. Don’t be put off by the reputation of the self-help genre; this one actually contains practical tips that can be applied to every-day life. In ‘Super You’, therapist Emily Gordon applies the mythology of superheroes to self-confidence, empowerment and self-esteem to help the reader become a more confident, happy and self-assured person.

This 160ft bungee jump might be more of a present for you than a present for her, because if there’s anyone you want to put through the emotional rollercoaster of a 160ft jump, it’s your sister, right?

But seriously. Sibling rivalry aside, this experience is an unforgettable one. Despite the nerves she’ll feel as she ascends in the crane and considers the yawning length of space beneath her feet, the rush of pure adrenaline and excitement as she glides down through the air attached to her bungee cord will be worth it. And don’t worry – the experienced instructors at the centre put safety first, ensuring that all the correct equipment is used and the correct precautions taken, so all you need to worry about is capturing the look on your sister’s face on camera as you watch her from the ground!

If she’s into art, this one is a no-brainer. The National Art Pass permits its holder to visit thousands of participating exhibitions across the country, and is a great excuse to see more art.

This archery experience in Shropshire is perfect if your friend has always wanted to let out her inner-Katniss.

These minimalist nail decals make a great gift for stylish friends. If she’s into manicures, you can’t really go wrong with these. Save her a trip to the nail salon and give her an evening of fun as she decorates her claws!

Or maybe your friend prefers to leave it to the professionals. Why not give her the gift of pampering with an open voucher for Treatwell? She can choose from treatments in her location and pay using the voucher. From manicures to massages, she’ll find whatever she needs to make herself feel fabulous from head to toe.

Whether she’s getting to the age where she stays over at friends’ houses, or she’s a grown-up globetrotter, this miniature straightener could be a hand luggage life saver. Being in possession of a sleek and styled barnet shouldn’t be a privilege only afforded to those with cabin baggage, so help her keep her hair looking great wherever she is, without compromising space.

There’s nothing that represents a celebration quite like chocolate, and nothing to bring out the kid in you quite like a treasure hunt. Why not use this fun chocolate treasure hunt in London as a bonding exercise with your daughter, and race against the clock to find the goodies? You’ll have two and a half hours to complete your scavenger hunt. What will you do for chocolate?

Let’s not deny the presence of this corporate giant – we all use it, and there’s no doubt your daughter will get some great use out of an Amazon voucher. Whether she wants to shave some money off her reading habit, splurge on beauty products, or stock up on DVD’s, this is a versatile gift she can apply to basically any product she wants.

We’re sure your girlfriend deserves some pampering, so treat her to this incredible full-body aromatherapy massage in Marlow. She’ll also enjoy full access to the spa facilities, including the pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room, and fully equipped gym. She’s bound to emerge a new person, feeling on top of the world with you to thank!

If you’re low on cash, a classic curated mix CD is a great way to show your girlfriend you care. Choose a mix of her favourites, combined with some new songs you think she’ll love. There’s no need to be cheesy (unless you want to!) – so curate it to her tastes. Is she a metal head? A 60’s fanatic? Whatever she likes to listen to, make sure you pay attention, and reflect what she loves back to her. This way, she’ll get personalised enjoyment out of your gift.

This is another simple and effective present for a tight budget, and can be made very romantic by the pictures you choose. You can purchase a photo album and fill it with pictures, use a notebook, or make your own. Choose a selection of photos which you feel represent your feelings for her – perhaps just some shots of you through the months or years, or some particularly memorable vacation snaps. This is a romantic way to demonstrate your affection – after all, a picture is worth a thousand words!

This is a beautiful personalised gift for your girlfriend, especially if you choose to engrave your handwriting into the necklace. You can write something new, or perhaps choose from already existing handwriting samples. Maybe your girlfriend scribbled her phone number on the back of a napkin when you first met and you’ve kept it ever since? Or maybe you leave little love notes for each other around the house? This way, she can take this keepsake around with her in the form of a beautiful necklace, always carrying a little reminder of you.
