Divinely inspired gifts for her that she'll adore

No matter the denomination, plenty of women are proudly known as "church ladies," who are not only faithful members of their place of worship, but dutiful volunteers in their communities. Picking out the right gift for these gals can be challenging, but not impossible. As a son of one of these church ladies, I've compiled many gifts they'd be overjoyed to get.
