Sporty girls can initially seem tricky, but delve a little deeper and you can be sure to impress! If they're a gym fanatic then shower products will always go down well – just make them not your bog standard offer, and maybe throw in a toiletries bag or even a laundry bag – ideal for the busy sporty girl's sports bag!
For the girl who loves to garden, a set of knee pads may seem hugely entertaining to you – but will be probably the most useful gift she's had in a long time! Or even try a premium garden multi-tool set, perfect for pruning the roses. If she enjoys the garden, but is not so keen on doing the work herself, then why not splash out on a set of outdoor garden lights – perfect for an outdoor hostess with the mostess!
Chocoholics might seem a simple bunch to please – but if they're connoisseurs then you'll need to do a bit of research. Belgian chocs are the way to please – Guylian are a great chocolatiers from Belgium who do a delicious range of chocolates including Guylian chocolate fondue, hot chocolate and even chocolate hazelnut spread – now that's a set of chocolate products any true chocoholics will adore!

Easy to care for, simple to grow – and there will be a long lasting reminder of your great gift on their windowsill … and in their meals too!
For the family loving gal, a gorgeous photo frame normally does the trick! The perfect way for her to show off the hubby, or kids … or even the pets! Go for something hand painted and a little different from the standard sort of stuff you can buy – something she'll be proud to display!
