Stories tag

We have collected hundreds of stories, short and long, from real women about the best (or worst!) gifts they've ever received. Search them here, or browse by the story tag, and be inspired! Remember, more than the just the gift itself, it is everything else that you do around the occasion that makes it special.

Luxury surprises!

FB, 31, English Accountant

I love it when I get something luxe - maybe a designer handbag or a wallet or even some make up/facial treatments. One of my favourite presents was a designer wallet that I wasn't expecting that came in amazing shop wrapping and boxed.

Pamper vouchers are guilt-free pleasure

DC, 55, English and Retired

One great present my husband bought me was £100.00 worth of vouchers at my favourite beauty salon – could go and have legs done etc without feeling guilty about taking the money out of the family budget.

Spa day - with a friend!

FG, 30, Colombian Civil Servant

A gift card for a spa or even better a weekend in a spa! (My husband doesn't like spas so I think that a perfect gift for me is going to a spa with a friend).

A day all about her

LN, 28, American Consultant

Massage vouchers at a local spa: because the gift was entirely about me.  

Weekends away make better gifts

MC, 30, Dutch Consultant

I would like to receive more personal stuff and weekends away, something like a day in a sauna, a weekend in Rome or a dinner in a fancy restaurant.

Magical spa day

RD, 29, Belgian Solicitor

Once my boyfriend bought me a spa day which was magical!
