Everyone has at least one special working woman on his list for holiday shopping. If you’ve left things until the last minute and still aren’t sure what to grab her, here are some really cool high-tech options that any working woman would love.
Apple iPad Mini
The iPad has become synonymous with “tablet,” and the Mini is a great secondary device for even those who might already have an iPad or other full-sized tablet. It’s great for taking along on a business trip for getting work done on the plane, or just sitting back with a good movie or digital book or magazine. It’s also a useful device to keep in the briefcase for quickly pulling out to show clients spreadsheets, presentations, or other data. The latest third-generation models are smaller and thinner, and come with a 7.9” Retina display, touch ID home button for quick unlocking or app purchases, fast A7 chip, 5 MP iSight camera, and a 10-hour battery. It starts at about $425.
Ogio Duchess Golf Bag
Many executive-level working women will inevitably find themselves having to attend a golf tournament or game at some point.
As they say, some of the best deals are made on the golf course, right? Let her play in style with a golf bag like Ogio’s Duchess, which is durable, but comes in five attractive and feminine designs. It has six zippered pockets for holding all essentials, and comes with a tee holder and a padded shoulder strap. The 10”, 15-way cart top has a putter pit for larger grips. It’ll run you about $155.
Kobo Aura H20 E-Reader
The frequent flyer will appreciate an e-reader like this one, for reading books or business articles not only on the plane, but even poolside at the hotel for some R&R after the big meeting. She can do this because it’s fully waterproof and dustproof, and has an anti-glare 6.8” HD screen. You can store every ebook, article, presentation, and other text-based files you could possibly need in the 4 GB of onboard storage. If you need more, there’s also a microSD card slot. And it can function for up to two months at a time on a single charge of the battery. Price? $180.
Bose QuietComfort 25 Headphones
Whether this working woman travels often by plane, or takes her daily commute on the train, bus, or subway, these headphones can help her decompress and silence the world around her. They boast active noise cancelling technology to eliminate the annoying buzz of the plane’s engine, or ambient noise of the train. It’s great for listening to tunes or watching a movie, but you can also just pop them over your ears to catch some quiet time. They come with a handy carrying case, and are powered by a single AAA battery, which can be grabbed from any corner store should they run out of juice at the worst time. $330
180S Gen 2 Bluetooth Earwarmer Headphones
For the woman who walks to work, these headphones are great because they also double as earwarmers for the cold, winter
months. Using Bluetooth, you can connect them wirelessly to your smartphone, then tuck it away safely in a purse or pocket and enjoy tunes. It offers both Siri and Google Now activation so you can keep the warm gloves on and not worry about having to manipulate your phone. And they can also be used for making calls. The fleece lining will keep your ears warm and toasty, and they are wind and water-resistant for days when Mother Nature is at her worst. And because they fit behind the head, you can still wear a toque underneath as well, adjusting them for the perfect fit. $85
