How to give it
Useful gifts feel personal when they solve a problem she has mentioned. Say so in the card ("you said your old one kept breaking"), and choose quality over extra features.
Not sure it's the one? Ask yourself three questions: will she use it at least once a week, does it fit her taste rather than yours, and could she return or exchange it easily? Two yeses is usually a good sign.
