Is she a gardener? She might dig this butterfly puddler for the yard. Maybe she’s had her eye on something gold and sparkly but isn’t one to treat herself. Get the job done with these teardrop studs or a crystal choker.

This list of top-tier gifts for her is perfect for any recipient or occasion. How can I be so sure? As Yahoo's gifting editor, it's my job to find special, one-of-a-kind gift ideas for the people you love most. Not to mention that I'm a girl's girl through and through, so I also know a thing or two about celebrating the women in my life — my mom, aunts and sister-in-law, to name a few — whenever the moment calls for it (and even when it doesn't).
