There are certainly lots of cool gift ideas for the women on your shopping list whether you're buying for your daughter, sister, wife, girlfriend, mother etc I'm sure the list above has given you some inspiration.

Let's look at some of the gifts in more details starting with ......

Wine Pearls - A Cool Gift Idea

If the woman you're buying for enjoys a nice glass of wine then these Wine Pearls are a great idea.   There's nothing worse than enjoying a lovely glass of chilled Moscato or Rose and it warms up before you've finished it.   Adding ice cubes to wine just doesn't work as it waters it down, wine pearls however are a great idea for keeping it chilled without any watering down of the wine.

Some people do suggest frozen grapes are a great way of keeping wine cool and I'll admit they can be great, but sometimes the grapes you have just don't suit the particular wine you're drinking so......

If the woman you're buying for prefers some other cool beverage then these will work just as well in any drink.  Check out my full review at Wine Pearls, Chilling Wine in Style.

Wine Pearls - Just one of the top gift ideas for women

Nano Jewelry Zodiac Necklace

Jewelry is often a popular gift choice for women and if the lady on your shopping list enjoys jewelry then a Nano Jewelry Zodiac Necklace is the perfect choice for her.   Nano style jewelry is very popular at the moment and zodiac jewelry is a classic choice, what this means is that you can get her a very 'now' piece of jewelry that will become a classic accessory for her.

Nano jewelry is created using innovative technology that allows the smallest of text and detail to be inscribed - look at this Nano Jewelry Taurus Necklace to see how it looks under a microscope.

Heated Gloves & Slippers

Now I don't know about the females in your life, but I do not like being cold so when I see the words heated before gloves and/or slippers I'm already thinking - Yes!

The gift idea I featured above are Yeti USB Handwarmers and Footwarmers and I have to say I think they are absolutely gorgeous.

Yeti Heated Hand Warmer Gloves & Heated Foot Warmer Slippers

This image above shows them off even better than the introduction image and I have to say that keeping warm never looked so cool!

Tool Sets for Women

I don't think a woman needs 'special' tools in order to be handy, but I must admit I do love the look of the selection of pink tool kits for women that are available these days.   I also know that the way I treat tools and the way that my partner treats tools are very different so my own, special pink tool set seems to be a great idea.

I featured the pink cordless drill above, but there are lots of different pink tool sets available which are sure to make your handywoman very happy!

More Great Gift Ideas for the Women in Your Life

Candles are very in vogue again at the moment and there are lots to choose from, I went with Arbonne's Spiced Vanilla Chai as it's a lovely fragrance and a little different from some I have seen available.   If their favorite scent is more along the tropical fragrances like mango and coconut or floral like rose then obviously get one of those instead!

Speaking of scent, there are lots of perfumes on the market, but if you're buying for someone young then Victoria's Secret seems to be extremely popular and this set of rollette perfumes seem perfect.

When it comes to skincare the Intelligence Genius Ultra from Arbonne is a must have.   It has been featured in a number of publications as been developed using ultrasound technology to really help target the signs of aging. 

Arbonne also offer some amazing cosmetics including the lip duo's that I've featured.   The combination of lipstick and lip gloss in one product is brilliant in my opinion and the product itself feels divine.  A luxurious lip duo that is vegan and gluten free with no mineral oil or other nasties.

If the lady you're shopping with enjoys travelling then she will adore the scratch off world poster as a way of keeping a track of all her travels.

R2D2 Coffee Press

If the man in your life loves the classic Star Wars movies then I'm sure he'll love this little fella, R2D2 has always held a special spot in my heart anyways!   Brought to you from the guys at ThinkGeek is this simply gorgeous coffee press -

R2D2 Coffee Press

ThinkGeek do have a range of cool R2D2 gift ideas to choose from so if your man doesn't like coffee you could get him a tea pot, lidded mug or desk lamp just to name a few.

Back to the coffee press, R2D2 will hold 4 cups of freshly brewed coffee for you aka 32oz, which is sure to be enough to help you face the day ahead!

Fitbit Alta Fitness Tracker

Whether the man you're buying for is into fitness, or just needs to feel inspired to do a little exercise the new Fitbit Alta Fitness Tracker will certainly help to encourage him to increase his activity.

Fitbit Alta Fitness Tracker

Creed, Aventus by Creed Cologne

Cologne is a great choice as a gift idea and Creed is one of the more popular ones for this year so keep him up to date in the cologne department with a bottle of this -

Creed Aventus by Creed, Cologne for men

Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge

This was designed with whiskey drinkers in mind, but to be honest I think it would be just as good for bourbon or tequila drinkers too.   Now I haven't actually trialed this myself, but the idea behind it is really good.

Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge

Now this includes a double old fashioned glass and a silicone ice form and basically it means you make an ice wedge to keep your drink cool. Now purists will ask how on earth this stops your whiskey from being watered down like ice cubes and it's basically about science.

As the guys on the Big Bang Theory would tell you it takes longer for a large wedge of ice to melt than it would an ice cube. Of course it does melt so you may find the bottom part of your drink is a little watered down, but it's not nearly as bad as using ice cubes and it looks really, really cool!

Converse Chuck Taylor's All Stars

Now what can I say about this hi top sneakers that you don't already know?   They're hip now, but also have that retro feel so that if you're buying them for a dad or uncle then they also have a nostalgic feel about them.

Converse Chuck Taylor's All Stars

Now this converse sneakers are a great gift idea, but if you're not sure they're quite right for the man you're shopping for you can find a selection of hi-top sneakers in a range of designs from patriotic to funny, even a cool zombie inspired walking dad pair on Zazzle.

Beats Solo 2 Wireless On-Ear Headphones

The Solo2 Wireless headphone's durable housing and compact, foldable design make it the ultimate on-the-go accessory for the man on your list.   They come in a range of colors, but if you're unsure I don't think you can go past the space grey color featured here -

Beats Solo 2 Wireless On-Ear Headphones

Digital Tape Measure

What to get the handyman in your life?   What about a digital tape measure?   It's so much better than the old fashioned ones!

Digital Tape Measure

Bacon Flavored Coffee

Everything's better with bacon which is why bacon flavored coffee is a great gift idea......

Bacon Flavored Coffee

Bath Robe

A bath robe is a great gift idea especially in winter where you want something warm and snuggly to slip into.

There are lots of different types of bath robe available depending on who you're buying for from Super Hero Bath Robes to other geek inspired robes and many more.   I've selected a very comfortable looking hooded robe for you to look at today -

Man's Hooded Bath Robe

Meat Socks

Socks as a rule can be a pretty boring, if practical, gift for a guy, but these 'meat socks' are anything but boring!

You have a choice of bacon socks (everything's better with bacon!) or cheeseburger socks (who doesn't love a good cheeseburger?)   The decision is really hard to make, but of course no one's saying your can't buy him both!

Meat Socks

BBQ Toolbox

This is a cool gift idea, it looks like a regular toolbox, but when you feel like some steak and sausages you have your own BBQ on hand.  

I know a couple of men that I'm shopping for who would love to have this in the trunk of their car.

BBQ Toolbox

BB-8 Droid

This Star Wars inspired gift idea is a must have for any fan - your very own BB-8 App-enabled droid which you can control with your smartphone or tablet.    I can see hours of fun with this little fella.

I have to say that this has been available for a while now and is proving to be very popular - whether people are buying them as  a gift or to keep for themselves is hard to know though!

BB-8 App-Enabled Droid

This is a gift that is perfect for numerous Star Wars fans and not just the men on your shopping list, I can see a lot of women enjoying this droid as well.

Funny Mug

A mug is a great gift idea as I've said in the past, and I personally like funny mugs like this one from Zazzle -

Funny Mug for a Man

If you don't like this particular mug I've got a few different selections of mugs for you to choose from including funny mugs, geek mugs, the Muppets mugs, Superman mugs and more.

Brew-Opoly

The the beer enthusiasts out there, here's a game that they should enjoy....

Brew-opoly

Ray Ban New Wayfarer Sunglasses

Available in polarized and non-polarized these sunglasses are an absolute classic.

Ray Ban 'New Wayfarer' Sunglasses

Every Person in New York by Jason Polan

This coffee table book is a 408 page paperback book that is bursting with sketches of over 30,000 people.

The sketches are very simplistic, but the book itself is a great conversation starter.

Every Person in New York by Jason Polan

Batman Desktop Bat Signal

Any man who's a fan of the Dark Knight would love their very own Bat Signal (hell even a few women I know would love this including a certain teenage girl I have on my Christmas list!)

Desktop Bat Signal

This mini Bat Signal runs off of 1 CR1632 battery which is included, also when you purchase this awesome Batman gift you also get a mini book packed full of info any fan would love.

TV Remote Control Bottle Opener

Now I don't know about you, but I've yet to find a man who doesn't hold the remote control in a death defying grip, it's as though they are hard wired not to let anyone else touch their remote control ever!

When I saw that you could get a remote control that also doubled up as a bottle opener I knew that at least one person on my list was going to want one!

TV Remote Control Bottle Opener

Game of Thrones Longclaw Umbrella

Now it's always nice to get a practical gift for someone and what can be more practical than an umbrella?   However the universal black umbrella designed for millions of business men to use seems a little boring so why not spice things up with.....

GOT Longclaw Umbrella

With a handle carved like the hilt of the legendary Valyrian steel sword that Jon Snow welds - Longclaw - you'll be praying for rain to have an excuse to use this umbrella!

Thug Kitchen Party Grub

This recipe book comes with a side of attitude........as well as over 100 recipes.   A great cookbook for the man on your Christmas list.

Thug Kitchen Party Grub Cookbook

Donut Warming Coffee Mug

If you love a donut with your morning coffee (or any time of the day coffee) then you'll love this idea - a donut warming coffee mug.

What man wouldn't appreciate this as a gift (and why not order two and keep one for yourself at the same time).   I know I've said before that mugs make the best gifts, but donut warming mugs ..... be still my beating heart!

Donut Warming Coffee Mug

Star Trek USS Enterprise Remote Control Drone

If you're buying for a Star Trek fan then this USS Enterprise remote control drone looks like a whole lot of fun.  Not only can drones be fun, this one has 10 authentic sounds and lights that any Trekkie will appreciate.

Star Trek USS Enterprise Remote Control Drone

USB Cufflinks

I think the reason why most of the men I know enjoy Bond movies or Mission Impossible is because they have a secret yearning to be a spy and to have some of the 'spy toys' from these movies.

If you give them a pair of these USB cufflinks you're also giving them the type of secret agent 'toy' that Q could easily give 007 and I think that will be a big hit.

USB Cufflinks

The Beer Briefcase

The beer briefcase is one of my favorite (this year anyway) of the selection of beer lovers gifts available this year.  If the man you're buying for loves to drink a few beers then this might just be the perfect gift for him (as long as you fill it with his favorite beer as well).

The Beer Briefcase

Zombie Cajun Hot Sauce Gift Set

This gift set speaks for itself.....

Monster High Fright-Mares Dolls

The Fright-Mares

A Monster High School Doll Collection

Released in 2015 was the Monster High Fright-Mares collection, this doll collection comprised of ten different characters who are all half Centaur.

The ten dolls are Pyxis Prepstockings, Frets Quartzmane, Bay Tidechaser, Aery Evenfall, Fawntine Fallowheart, Skyra Bouncegait, Penepole Steamtail, Flara Blaze, Olympia Wingfield, Caprice Whimcanter, Leandra Dapplebrush, and Merry Trotabout.

They say that deep within the catacombs of Monster High are the dream pastures of the Fright-Mares. Fright-Mares are a hybrid of a nightmare and a monster and are created when an ordinary nightmare is caught in the place where dreams collide.

Fright-Mares deliver dreams to the monsters in the real world and can only communicate these dreams to the types of monsters they are crossed with. They also have the ability to change the path of a dream and luckily for the monsters at Monster High these Fright-Mares enjoy using their dream bending abilities for good.

Aery Evenfall

Aery is half centaur and half skeleton and considers herself the caretaker of the Fright-Mares. She is good friends with her fellow Fright-Mares, although she does have an unerring ability to know what they want to say before they say it!

Monster High Fright-Mares Bay Tidechaser Doll

Flara Blaze

Monster High Fright-Mares Flara Blaze Doll

& 

Flara was born when a phoenix had a dream that collided with a nightmare from the Dream Pastures which is why she is a combination of half centaur and half phoenix. Like the fire element that she's connected to Flara can be unpredictable and hard to handle.

Frets Quartzmane

Monster High Fright-Mares Frets Quartzmane Doll

Frets is a cross between a centaur and a gargoyle. She's a quiet, dependable and loyal friend who loves music especially hardcore rock music.

Penepole Steamtail

Monster High Fright-Mares Penepole Steamtail Doll

Penepole is a fusion between a centaur and a butterfly, we don't know much about her, but I do love how she seems to have a unicorn horn and I also think her glasses are simply gorgeous.

Pyxis Prepstockings

Monster High Fright-Mares Pyxis Prepstockings Doll

& 

Pyxis is half centaur and half pegasus which makes her a natural at playing polo a sport she loves and is very competitive with. Pyxis has a special skill when she's channeling dreams in that she seems to be able to bring a sense of order to the most chaotic seeming dreams.

Skyra Bouncegait

Monster High Fright-Mares Skyra Bouncegait Doll

Skyra is a fusion of a nightmare and a ghost which means she's half centaur and half (you guessed it!) ghost.
