Besides having sisters we have so many girl cousins who swamp their brother’s house trying to extract the best gift possible on any occasion. Every year we try doing something special and different. There are so many gifts we want to give away but we end up giving money or some boring gift. Let us pledge to give unique gifts to our female cousins be it their birthday or anniversary.
How to select and pick a perfect gift for female cousins?
You will know your cousins better than others but when it comes to gifts for a special occasion you have to be very creative. Here are the steps for how you can make the gift for your female cousin special:
- Do some research: Study her likes and dislikes. Ask around. Know her latest interests and hobbies.
- Understand your budget: So be careful on what you want to spend as if you have lesser money and promising or getting hopes high of your cousin may lead her to feel bad if you don’t present the promised gift.
- Know her time: It is important you understand what time she is free on if you her planning a dinner or surprise party.
- Understand her nature: So you may not meet often, therefore, it is important you know whether she is an extrovert or introvert. She may not like extravagant parties, etc.

These are some great tips. I think my cousins and I have done half of these already!😊
Love the pottery class. I think any gift that involves spending time together is a great one.
Love these ideas, When I was younger my sister sponsored a dolphin for my birthday and it has been one of my favourite presents to this day and it must have been more than 10 years ago.
What a fun and great post! I love the name the start option. How cool it that!
These are all great ideas for those searching for a gift for a family member or friend. Every girl loves makeup and shoes!
These are great suggestions! I would probably be most interested in a good book collection, considering I’m too busy to look for myself!
Great ideas! These seem like good gifts for any woman. I always love getting spa certificates as gifts!
The idea to name a star after someone is such a great idea. It is nice an thoughtful.
I agree! Last year I got one of the kingdom of the universe from my sister. That’s a great idea! Now I’m an owner of the real star 🙂
I’m very close to my nieces and nephews so I intend to gift them some of these gifts. Great post.
