How to choose without making a mistake? 🎁
Before diving headfirst into the quest for the perfect gift for a woman , a little reflection is in order. At 30, a woman is looking for an experience , a moment for herself, or a nod to something she already loves. Keeping this in mind makes finding the right present much easier.
The right angle: personality, available time and budget
To choose the right gift, ask yourself four simple questions: What is her personality like (creative, contemplative, active, dreamy)? How much time does she dedicate to her hobbies? What budget are you willing to allocate? And finally, does she have some space at home for her creations? By considering these factors, you'll quickly know which idea to choose, without risking giving the wrong gift.

- A relaxing gift: to offer calm and a break for oneself.

Quick FAQ
What budget should I plan for a gift for a 30-year-old woman?
The good news is that you don't need a big budget to give a gift. For between €20 and €60, you can offer an original, durable, and beautifully presented item.
What if she's not very good with her hands?
No worries! Creative ideas aren't just for artists. Kits like paint-by-number or diamond painting are designed to be guided step by step . They're perfect for those who want to disconnect without any stress.
How long does a Diamond Painting take?
It all depends on the size you choose! A small painting can be completed in 5 to 6 hours, while a large canvas can take 10 to 15 hours of pure relaxation. The advantage? It's an activity you can enjoy at your own pace, a little each evening, with a cup of tea and a soothing playlist.

Between 500 and 800 pieces is a good compromise. Puzzles of this size offer a pleasant challenge without becoming frustrating. For those with more patience, 1000-piece and larger puzzles are perfect for weekend sessions or winter evenings.
