The 12 Days of Christmas for Women: Taking You from Zero to Hero

Looking for a special gift idea for the person that has everything? Giving them the series of the 12 days of Christmas will bring back the childlike memories of this wonderful season and make you the talk of the town in the gift department. Below is the entire 12 days spelled out for you with a saying for each tag that goes with the gift.

Twelve days before Christmas Eve you'll begin this series of gifts. The first gift is a dozen roses in either red or white. Make sure if you have them delivered you either drop this off or ask them to include it and if you buy them from Costco (my suggestion for the best value) you'll want to get a little gift card that says the following: "Merry Christmas (female's name)! For the next 12 days you will be receiving the number of gifts represented by how many days we are away from Christmas Eve. Today is the beginning of your holiday journey and I have chosen these 12 perfect roses as they remind me of your beauty and grace (if this is for a friend change beauty and grace to fun personality and kindness).

Eleven days before Christmas Eve send the following: Eleven candy canes tied in a ribbon of white or red. For the tag you'll want it to say "These candy canes remind me of the way you hooked me with your sweetness." If it's for a friend then change it to "These candy canes remind me of what a sweet person you are."

Ten days before send her a $10 Gift Card to Starbucks or another coffee house in your area. The gift tag should read - "Today you need to relax and take in the smells of Starbucks (or other company) on me. I suggest the Peppermint Hot Chocolate (or Latte) but the choice is yours."

Nine days before send her 9 tea light candles in a yummy Christmas scent. You can usually buy them in a box of 10 or 12 so just remove the extras and put them in a cute little basket for presentation. For the note you'll write "You light up a room whenever you arrive - these candles will burn to keep your spirits alive."

Eight days before give her eight ornaments - you can choose but try to make them the same like 8 red balls or eight icicles, etc. The tag will read "Adorn your tree with memories of me."

Seven days before give them seven decorated Christmas cookies. You can substitute with cupcakes if you like or other tasty treats as long as they match and are decorated appropriately. The tag should read "These tasty treats remind me of how "baked" our friendship is. Feel free to share with others but promise to indulge on at least one!"

Six days before give her a six pack of her favorite beverage (soda or beer or even waters). The tag will read "Drink in the sights and smells of the holiday and take time to celebrate!"

Five days before get her five packs of gum in a variety of flavor. If you know she needs sugar free than purchase that. I try to pick a minty flavor, bubble gum, and other fun flavor and types for variety in presentation. The tag here will read "In any sticky situation I can always rely on you."

Four days before get her a small box of chocolates. Sees and Whitman's usually have the little four packs at the grocery or dime store in your area or you can purchase samplers online. The tag should read "My life is richer than a box of chocolates because you are in it."

Three days before give her an earring and necklace combination. Macy's and other stores have great sales on these. I prefer the cubic zirconium types that look like diamonds but anything shiny will do. The tag will read: "Three Wiseman saw the star that night; these baubles will help you to shine bright."

Two days before give her a pair of shoes or slippers. If you don't know the person as well slippers are easy because they are forgiving on the sizes. Dearfoams are a favorite and hold up really well. If you want to be extravagant you can buy some really expensive shoes like Jimmy Choos but better to work up to the last gift as it needs to be the finale. The tag will read "Though I've never walked in your shoes I hope this gift will remind you that I'm thankful for all you do."

One day before (actually on Christmas Eve) give her a new dress. I would make it evening gown type or something real fancy with holiday flair. The tag should read "The children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of you and I out on the town danced in their heads." Then if you can afford it have a limousine pick the two you up for a wonderful evening out with dinner and dancing. If this is for a friend then find out something they really want and make sure you get them that gift saying this: "Everyone needs to believe in Santa Claus. I heard you were especially nice this year and wanted to give you something you wouldn't get yourself. Merry Christmas!"
