Shopping for a woman? Here's a 3-step system that won't let you (or her) down.

First, check her Pinterest board.

Next, scroll through my list of ideas.

If you're still in doubt, go for a gift card accompanied by an encouraging note with a well-thought out compliment. Safe bets for gift cards are Nordstrom, Amazon, Whole Foods Market, or IKEA.

Active women - get your "pin" button ready. If you haven't discovered Aventura Clothing yet, you're going to love it. The Nevada company strives to "design, make and sell comfortable clothing with an active focus while being thoughtful to both people and the environment." The Jocelyn Skirt is a good pick for the winter - plaid, fully lined, and a classic fit. Perfect paired with tights and boots.

Buddeez Beverage Dispenser

Beverage-Dispenser-by-Buddeez

One of the top-rated beverage dispensers on Amazon, this 3 1/2 gallon option by Buddeez is billed as "unbreakable." BPA-free and stain-resistant, the dispenser comes with a removable ice cone and non-drip faucet. Ideal for parties (especially with younger children where glass might not be your best bet), you'll love the lightweight profile AND the low price point ($35.99, made right here in the USA).

Journals & Notebooks by Compendium

Compendium-Incorporated-notebooks

Artistically designed with inspiring quotes and sayings, Compendium is one of the best journal and notebook makers in the country. Whether you're shopping for a photographer, traveler, or reader, there's a journal to be found that will match the recipient's style.

Madera Shoulder Bag by Overland Equipment

Madera-by-Overland-Equipment

It's not often that a woman finds a bag that goes with everything AND is ultra-functional. The Madera shoulder bag by Overland Equipment, however, fits that description. It features a zippered roomy main compartment, plus a magnetic pocket and another roomy zippered area with yet another zipper inside. PLUS, there's an easy-access cell phone pocket in the front and the quilt interior is designed to carry an iPad. The arm band is comfy and it has a close-to-body design that is secure. This is a bag that deserves an up-close look since the pictures just can't do it justice.

Bento Lunch Box by Laptop Lunches

Laptop-Lunches

Whether she's working in an office or at home, a bento box is sure to come in handy! The best thing about Bento Boxes is that you can bring a variety of food items (fruits, nuts, veggies, dips, cheeses, etc) without using disposable sandwich bags. This particular set even comes with utensils!

Original Rolldown Capri and Long Tunic Throwover by Wear Me Out Clothing

Wear-Me-Out-Clothing

Stumped about what to get a lady on your list? Athletic apparel is always a good choice - particularly yoga style pants, capris, sweatshirts, and slouchy tunics. Although this long tunic throw over by Wear Me Out might not be the most flattering style, it's certainly comfy and lives up to it's name! It is cute enough to open the front door in or run out on errands without feeling embarrassed. Bonus that it works well for nursing a baby too! As for the rolldown capris, they're super stretchy and comfy. Ideal for running, biking, pretending to be a ballerina in your living room, etc.
