What To Consider When Buying Gifts for 22-Year-Old Women
Her Interests
One of the most important considerations when purchasing a present is what this person likes and dislikes. You may love to work out, but if she tends to gravitate towards the sofa in her off time, then a gym bag may not be the best choice. Therefore, think about her passions and her favorite pastimes.
Her Style
When purchasing clothing, shoes, accessories, and home decor, it is imperative that you think about the style of the person who will be receiving the gift. Is she upscale chic or comfy casual? What are her favorite colors and brands? Is she girly or more of a tomboy?
Unlike 22-year-old men, it is important to consider these factors when brainstorming the best gift ideas for 22-year-old women! The answers to these questions can be the difference between items that she uses regularly and ones that permanently land in the back of her closet.
Her Current Living Situation
This period in life is normally a monumental time when a person transitions from their academic career to their professional one. It is also usually when she will part ways with roommates and family and truly start being independent. The problem is that when this change occurs, she will likely discover that she does not have all of the essential home items that she is accustomed to having on hand.
Therefore, think about where she is living and what she may need to help make her new house a home. Kitchen appliances, decor, storage solutions, electronics, and hosting supplies are all welcomed and useful gifts that she is guaranteed to love!
