Travel & Escape - Women's Number One Choice

Women choose the gift of travel as their number one top pick for a major gift.

    Why? Cruise is BBB approved, has great online-only and last minute deals, offers price matching to guarantee you the best price, and has live-chat with cruise experts.

  • A Day at a Spa
It this a surprising choice? Not really.

For many women, especially stay-at-home moms, the house is the office. And research shows that women continue to do most of the housework.

In fact, taking a vacation was the choice of 67% of women in a recent survey. Women have spoken, and they would like a break from the daily routine of work, raising children, and all their other commitments.

In one survey, half of women say that the biggest barrier to having more fun in their lives is housework. So unlike some men, women feel relaxation happens outside of the house, and away from it all!

Travel also ranks so high because it lets women have fun by being free from obligations, having time to socialize, see new sights, or be pampered, or both!

Accessories - Women's Second Choice

Jewelry and watches top this list, but accessories also includes scarves, purses, belts, and sunglasses.

Women also said that they love to get personalized accessories, with their own birthstones, initials, or an engraving from a loved one.

This is really what separates a good gift giver from a great one. The great gift-giver takes the time to find an accessory which expresses the story of a woman, tailored to her and reminding her of you, the giver.

Electronics - Women's Third Choice

Women say their third choice for major gifts are electronics. Computers, televisions, DVD players, mobile phones all top the list.

This fact is such big news it is has been the focus of media attention!

Gadgets are more fun for women than ever before and no longer have a male, geeky image.

Most of the women buy gadgets such as digital radios, iPods and digital photo frames.

“The appeal of technology to women is cross-generational, from young women who have grown up with technology, to women who have been exposed to technology at work and older, motivated self-learners who are all embracing new products which help them capture memories, stay organised and keep in touch..."
