  Do you need to thank a special woman in your life? Do so without hurting your checking account. Small gifts show appreciation and are easy to personalize. Combine a few smaller items to accommodate any budget. Take the woman's interests into account and include a thoughtful note. With a little thought, you can arrange a beautiful and meaningful thank-you gift for a woman.

Personal

• Personal care items show your graciousness and they fit into any budget. Consider buying lotions, powders or body spritzes. Women enjoy a new hair brush, clips or rubber bands. Buy a few colors of nail polish, along with polish remover, a nail file and nail moisturizer. To allow you greater control over the cost, combine all or a few of these items in a gift bag or basket.

  Candles come in any size, which means their price varies too. Even thick, comfy socks, house slippers or gloves make women happy. Other inexpensive gifts include a fun belt, broach or stylish costume jewelry.

Healthy

• What better way to thank a female than by reminding her to care for herself? One way is to provide the tools for her to do so. Give a health-care package comprised of a metal water bottle and multivitamins. Buy some healthy food choices, such as nuts, granola bars or a variety of fruits. If the woman exercises or is food-conscience, give her a fitness magazine or recipe book.

  Women care about lessening skin damage. MayoClinic.com advises that for the most complete sun protection, people should wear protective clothing and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Buy an over-sized sun hat, sun-protective shirt or sunscreen. Thank the woman by showing her that you care about her health.

Professional

• Women appreciate an update in their professional space, either at home or in the office. Local printers can create unique stationary or stamps. A small desk organizer or calendar are inexpensive gifts as well.

  Many times, a woman's professional life is her passion. If so, buy her the newest book concerning her field or a magazine subscription. Small gift cards pertaining to her professional interest work as well.

  Buy a few picture frames or photo albums. If she gushes about her grandchildren or cat, find coasters, coffee mugs or mouse pads that reflect her interests; think "World's Best Grandmother" or "The Cat Owns My Heart." Spice up her professional area and she will remember your gratitude into the future.
