Press Release Summary = UCAN2.com survey shows that this Christmas women think
thoughtful is better. Woman really want a personalized Christmas gift that is
unique.

Press Release Body = How to buy Christmas gifts for women has been a mystery to men
have for years. Although,"just don't get me a vacuum cleaner" makes most men shy
away from useful gifts, for some what a woman really wants is still a mystery.

Lynn Harker, owner of www.UCAN2.com, an inspirational e-gift boutique, sent a short
survey to over 400 women asking what makes Christmas gifts for women inspirational.
When asked what they would prefer ranging from a meaningful card to a real splurge,
60% of the women responding chose, "Thoughtful is better-Give me something with a
story behind it."

Likewise, another question asked what kind of Christmas gift you'd like to receive
from a man in your life. Respondents could choose: Jewelry or accessories;
pampering or romance; appliance or technology; or thoughtful gifts that reflect me.
Surprisingly, over 50% chose "thoughtful gifts that reflect me" even over jewelry or
romance.

And when Harker asked her customers what gifts women find most inspirational,
respondents singled out two categories: Gifts that Awe-open my eyes to the
magnificent and Gifts that Encourage-remind me to look on the lighter side.

Harker explains, "According to many I heard from, women and Christmas is all about
inspiration." She continues, "Christmas gifts for women that really inspire most,
are those with a meaning behind them-a meaning close to that woman's heart."

What does it mean to give a meaningful gift? As one women said, "I like to receive
gifts that are well thought out and planned for, that took some creativity-the kind
that make my heart stop and say, 'You did this for me?'"

Wondering what to buy a woman in your life this holiday? Harker received many
specific ideas for Christmas gifts for women:
. Personal Note-"A card with a small personal note that shows gratitude and
thoughtfulness."
. Something Symbolic-"A gift that can be worn or seen everyday to remind me that I'm
special to someone."
. Inspirational Gift-"Something that expresses belief or confidence in me-telling me
I'm special."
. Celebrating her Femininity-"Beautiful and feminine things that remind me that it's
great to be a woman."
. Embracing her Individuality-"Something that shows you know me and my heart,
something meaningful.

Harker's gift boutique specializes in gifts that have a meaning. In fact her
company slogan is, "Gifts that inspire the heart of a woman."

What does Harker recommend for Christmas giving this year? Think about her story and
meet her someplace that captures her heart. According to the women Harker surveyed,
