• Engraving a ring can be a clever way to keep memories alive.ring image by Henryk Olszewski from Fotolia.com
  
  Whether it's your sister, mother, daughter or lover, every woman deserves an occasional reminder of how special she is. Maybe you have a female friend and you're not sure what to get her. Whatever the occasion, personalized gifts can make especially memorable tokens of love and friendship.
  
  

Charm Bracelets

• Charm bracelets are classic novelties that allow the wearer to add and combine individual charms to symbolize her own interests, accomplishments and personality. Thousands of charms are available, from birthstones to animals to hobbies and holidays, so you can pick a few to start and let her gradually add to the collection. No two bracelets will be the same. Charm bracelets are a great gift to give to girls as they're growing up, although many women enjoy them too.
  
  

Engraved Rings

• Nothing makes more of a statement than a ring engraving, especially since a ring by itself makes quite an impression already. Maybe there's a quote, song lyric or special message you want to immortalize, or perhaps a specific date or occasion holds meaning and you want to remember it forever. Either way, engraved rings are simple, elegant and timeless.
  
  

Lockets

• Lockets are cute, fun and oftentimes very romantic. And if you happen to have the right photo and a pair of scissors, a locket can be the perfect personalized gesture for a friend or girlfriend. Lockets can sometimes hold more than one or two frames, so grandmothers and mothers can keep photos of their children or grandchildren, or even of their pets. If you want to be adventurous, find an antique locket or have the recipient's monogram engraved onto it.
  
  

Cakes and Cupcakes

• Cake technology has certainly advanced over the past few decades: You can now order cakes with actual photos printed on top. Then again, it's even more impressive if you bake and decorate something yourself. Bake a batch of cupcakes with the words "Happy Birthday, (Name)" spelled out in icing letters on top.
  
  

Scrapbooks

• Scrapbooks are a great project for craft lovers, and can be made for any occasion. If you're not the most artistic, camera-savvy person (and she is), you can give her a scrapbook kit to put together herself. But if you can handle a few hours of cutting, compiling and gluing, do it yourself. Include photos, quotes, poems, song lyrics, funny stories and newspaper or magazine clippings. If you want, you can even save a page for other people to sign.
  
  

Stationery Sets

• Some women prefer practicality over sentimentality any day. Personalized journals, notepads, envelopes, address labels, stamps and seals are useful and organized, can be used every day, and give off a more professional air. However, personalized stationery sets can also be used for good old-fashioned letter writing and note taking.
