Every Tuesday, GearCrave picks a gift for the women in our lives. Today’s gift is fit for both our women and ourselves, and something for us to enjoy together. Wine Enthusiast’s Wine Essence Kit helps you learn the fundamentals of wine and gain the ability to discern the scents, flavors and origins of a bottle of wine.

  • This set includes 9 scent essences in .33 fl. oz. bottle solutions, a detailed taster’s guide, essence labels and a tasting glass
  • Learn each of the 9 fundamental essences identified as the primary elements of good wine (sweet, bitter, sour, smooth, acetic, flowery, fruity, oak and tannin)
  • Packaged in a nicely designed gift box

Look a little familiar? Yeah, that’s our sister magazine FabCrush.com. Unlike GearCrave, FabCrush is focused solely on women’s fashion. It is a daily fashion guide written by fashion experts who scan the web for the hottest trends in fashion to share them with the FabCrush community. Why should this matter to you? While the subject matter may not be of interest, it WILL make the woman in your life salivate. Here’s how this translates into the Tuesday Gift for Her

Every man should carry a clothing size cheat sheet for the woman in their life. This can be a sheet of paper in your wallet, an entry in your PDA, or a list committed to memory. Document your woman’s stats– shoe size, waist, inseam, bra, dress size and more. Next time you’re out shopping and happen to see something you’d love on your lady, you know precisely what size to get. If you don’t , you could fail miserably– and suggest that the love in your life is overweight or undersized.

When you’re not out and about, but specifically looking for something for your girlfriend/wife, stop on over to FabCrush. If you want to give the gift of fashion, there’s no better place to go than the GearCrave for women’s fashion, FabCrush.com.

I’ve picked my brains to give you some easy suggestions for women-friendly gifts, and that includes some pretty cool gear, too.
