FAQs
Start with something she's mentioned wanting or a favorite she's ready to replace. Consider a tote bag, a pair of slippers or a cardigan, then let her preferences guide your choice rather than picking something different just for the surprise.
Confirm her size and check the fit guidance on the individual product page. For a cardigan, consider the length and style she prefers; for slippers, check both the size and width information before choosing.
Choose a style or color that reminds you of her, and include a handwritten note explaining your choice. Set aside time together, too—a walk in a favorite spot can be a lovely part of the thank-you.
