  Leaders provide guidance and assistance at work, play and in our churches. Women who lead us inspire us to be better at whatever we do. It is good to occasionally give your women leaders gifts to show your appreciation. Give gifts that offer inspiration and express your appreciation. Have your gifts personalized for an added touch.
  
  

Journal Set

• Provide leaders a way to share their experiences on paper. Give a set of matching journals. Choose journals with a bright fabric cover. Alternatively, pick one bound in leather. Pages can be lined or unlined. Tuck the journal set in a storage box used for hiding her journals away. Add a smooth tip pin with a pretty feather on the end for fun. Have her journals personalized with her name on the outside or inside cover.
  
  

Leadership Calendars

• Give you friend or loved one a perpetual desk calendar. Besides displaying the date, these perpetual calendars offer famous quotes from inspirational leaders everyday. Leadership calendars have wooden or glass bases and take up little desk space. Hanging calendars with monthly leadership quotes are appropriate gifts too. Choose calendars that have thoughtful images of women leading others.
  
  

Personalized Bookplates

• Order a set of personalized bookplates for your leader. Choose a bookplate that has a pretty background. Have her full name printed on the bookplates. The bookplates should have easy to remove adhesive backing to make it simple to add to all the books in her library. Bookplates will remind book borrowers who the books belong to.
  
  

Jewelry

• Select a nice watch to give your leader. Choose a silver or gold-toned watch with some sparkling embellishments around the clock face. Watches should have links that the leader can have adjusted to fit her wrist. Have a special inscription of appreciation written on the back of the watch face. Present the watch at special ceremony or in a decorative gift bag. Pearls are classic precious stones that she will enjoy. Select a necklace of pearls in graduating lengths or a set of pearl earrings or silver posts.
  
  

Pictures

• A set of motivational pictures with frames included are good choices. Select pictures that are small enough to fit on a crowded office wall. Picture themes could include inspirational words or images of people who inspired her. Alternatively, give the leader a picture of a group she had or currently is leading. Include a note of thanks and appreciation from members of the group.
