Wood Frame Sunglasses
Grown - Australia -  $100+

Women wearing wood sunglasses.

Your gal wants...

Erasable Water Painting Board 
Buddha Board - Canada - $20+

Women using an erasable meditative water painting board.

Your gal wants...

  • a water-painting board that erases itself. (She paints with water...and nothing more. The moisture turns the board dark, and then evaporates and disappears in about ten minutes, leaving the slate clean for another go. Watch the video at their website and you'll get it.)
  • a meditative tool. (It's a Zen kind of thing where she creates a piece in a free form way and then releases it to the universe. And if she really wants to keep her painting...she can always take a shot of it on her phone.)

Your gal doesn't want...

  • the hassle, mess, and time required for real painting...unless she's actually a painter. (She just needs a brush and some water for this, so there's no set up or clean up.)

Mirrored Bath Tray
Esker Beauty - Texas -  $90

  • the option of hanging the tray on its rope handles when she's not using it.

Your gal doesn't want...

  • a crooked tray. (If her bathtub has sliding shower doors, the metal track along the rim of the tub will raise one side of her tray by about an inch. If she's bothered by this, you can always pop a stick-on spacer from the hardware store under the other side to level it out for her. It's an easy fix.)

They're great gifts for your mom or sister. For a wife or girlfriend though, these are more along the lines of "additional" gifts. Be sure to get her something else as the main gift.)

Easy To Use Can Opener
Kuhn Rikon - Switzerland - $30

Easy to use can opener.

Your gal wants...

  • a can opener that's easy to use and doesn't leave a mess. (This takes minimal hand strength and has a button activated "lid clip" on the side, so she never has to touch the lid at all.) It also has a bottle opener and a hook for those "peel back" lids.
  • a clean cut every time, with no sharp edge left behind. (This baby slices horizontally along the inside edge of the can, rather than straight down, which leaves it smooth and safe.)
  • to hide it in a drawer when not in use (as opposed to a bulky electric can opener taking up valuable counter space).

Your gal doesn't want...

  • a kitchen gadget for an anniversary gift. (Throw this in as an extra for either Christmas or her birthday, but don't make it her main gift.)
