Need handbag gift advice

Unless it is about giving the expensive offering more than the actual item itself?

In that case I would limit to monogram as it has better recognition/resale than leather.

Maybe really nice SLG item(s) instead of a bag? Something they can get a lot of different use out of? Or some other kind of item like for travel, home, etc?

Bags are so personal, and I would hate for someone to spend that kind of money on me only to have me be disappointed.

Unless it is about giving the expensive offering more than the actual item itself?

I buy stuff for my relatives every time I see them, so this has been going on for many years now. I've previously done Mikimoto pearls, cosmetics, Tiffany's household goods, Burberry and Hermes scarves, etc. This year since I'm seeing them close to Christmas, I decided to go with LV bags. Over the years, I've already given out dozens of bags, so I've learned the strategy that seems to work the best is to buy about ten of the most popular bags in different sizes and colors and let them pick the ones they like as I see them.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. As a man, I not as familiar with what women like, but I've already bought some Neverfulls and Almas. Will be picking out more based on your suggestions.
