Spa/Manicure/Pedicure certificates are a great idea. Or $40 - $100 at her favorite restaurant. If she likes movies, you could get her a movie theater or Blockbuster certificate. If she's on a fixed income, she probably can't afford stuff like that. I would not suggest perfume unless you know which kind she likes. Ladies are very particular about their perfume, and older people tend to be sensitive to it anyways.
Do NOT get her some "cute" gag gift to make her feel old. Nothing that says "Over The Hill" or anything like that. That's mean.

I read somewhere that more women is converting to?
Mindy Mick
To isalm? Why is it? What does isalm have for women?
Answer
Yes Mindy it's true. Over 60 % of converts to Islam are women, and if you've read the statistics you probably know that the number of people converting to Islam is astounding. The reason why - God knows the best - ultimately because these women study the religion and realize it as truth. But as for your question of what Islam has to offer, you and others should know that ISLAM HAS MORE TO OFFER WOMEN THEN ANY OTHER RELIGION. It is more liberating even then feminism. Firstly, the Qur'an unequivocally states that women are equal to men - find me a another religious text that does that! then rights of a woman are clearly laid out. For example, a wife has the right to complete financial support from her husband. That means even if she works, she doesn't have to pay for the rent, food, clothes, unless she wants to. The wife also has a right to kindness. Even when the man wants to divorce the wife he has to treat her kindly. Their is so much consideration for women and their sensitivity, for example in Islam a woman has the right to live separate from her in-laws. It is in black and white in the sources of Islam that men are encouraged to give gifts to their wives, to be physically affectionate with them, to treat them like princesses when they are menstruating, even down to the details of intimacy - for example one the Prophet Muhammad (saw) described men who sleep with their wives without affection first and foreplay as being guilty of cruelty. Can you show me any other religion with anything close to this?!
This might not be what people have 'heard' about Islam. But that's the problem - it's all hearsay. Its all lies. Some Muslims may be more practicing of this then others, and some Muslim countries may have cultures that are not aligned with the religion in this realm. But certainly it is exaggerated by the media.
I am one of the women in the statistics who chose to become Muslim, and it is the best thing I ever did in my life. I would not leave Islam for all the gold and riches of the world. I encourage all women, and men to learn - from real sources - about this beautiful religion.
