A woman in her 40s knows what she wants. She's made it through the frenzy of the 20s, the highs and lows of the 30s, and now she's got it all going on. Maybe she has a family or maybe she's globe-trotting. Maybe she's living in a quaint suburb or maybe she's amidst the hustle and bustle of a metropolis. Whatever path she has forged for herself, she's crushing it. So you better get her a gift as awesome as her.
No matter the occasion—her birthday, anniversary, job promotion, in sprit of the upcoming holiday season—a gift for the woman in her 40s is personal. Whether it's a new piece of jewelry to add to her curated collection or a puffy parka to keep her warm as she heads to the gym, she's going to love the thought behind the gift.
