Welcome to our latest frugal gift guide - gifts for women!

This week, we’ve looked at bargain gifts for parents, grandparents and in-laws and great gifts for teens, kids and babies. So now it’s time to return to the latest round-up of hot deals on gifts for the woman in your life…

Clothes

1. We’ll kick off with a couple of great deals on fashion. First up, Amazon is currently selling this women’s Timberland Kroon leather jacket as part of its Christmas deals series.

The jacket usually retails at £400 - but you can currently pick one up for £152, including free delivery.

2. Alternatively, check out the Rocket Dog boots currently on offer over on eBay Christmas Deals. Each pair is down from £59.99 to £29.99, comes direct from the Sole Trader outlet, and includes free delivery.

Fragrance

3. If the lady loves a posh scent, check out the latest offer on Cheap Smells. Donna Karan Gold eau de toilette (100ml) is usually £55.50 - but you can now bag a bottle for £24.95. The price includes free delivery.

4. Another good perfume option comes from Fragrance Direct, via eBay: FCUK’s Connect Her eau de toilette spray (100ml) was £33, but is currently reduced to just £11.50, with free delivery.

Beauty

5. There’s now a good deal on Clarins products over on Look Fantastic. This Clarins Face and Body Essentials gift set is usually £81.90, but it’s currently selling for £42.

Free shipping is included in the price of the package - which contains hand and nail treatment cream, beauty balm, body lotion, cleansing gel, foot cream and HydraQuench cream.

6. The best deal I’ve found on hair straighteners this week is over at Amazon. These Remington S9500 Pearl ceramic hair straighteners are usually £79.99.

However, you can currently buy a set - directly from Remington and with free delivery - for £38.99.

Experiences

7. If your better half is keen to become a domestic goddess, she might enjoy the latest ‘experience’ money-off deal from lastminute.com.

This cupcakes and cocktail experience now has 35% off, at £29.25. It includes a cupcake-baking class (based in London), a cocktail, and a box of cupcakes to take home.

DVDs

8. In this previous frugal gift guide, I recently highlighted a cheap deal on the first series of hit period drama Downton Abbey.

However, an even better deal on the DVD has now been released: You can now buy the full series from Amazon for just £10.97, down from £24.99. Free delivery is available on this item.

9. The Twilight Saga trilogy - many a woman’s guilty pleasure - is now available to buy as a Limited Edition Steelbook DVD set on Zavvi. It costs £23.85, down from £34.99.

Homeware

10. There are now some big discounts on homeware at Debenhams.

For example, these cream Egyptian cotton towels were priced at between £2 and £20 each; but you can now buy individual towels for between 60p and £6 - well over 50% off.

11. And finally, dedicated chefs may appreciate this hard anodised professional four piece Anolon pan set, by Raymond Blanc. It’s currently half-price - down from £200 to £100 - with free delivery.
