Looking through her closet, trying to find a brand of clothes she seem to use often, is an excellent way of getting ideas of what to get her.

When buying clothes online, make sure you look through the websites terms and conditions; can you return the item if she doesn't like it or, worst case scenario, you have bought the wrong size.
