The 2010 Girl's Gift Guide

     Every year we stress, plan, and spend endless amounts of energy all for the big day, Christmas. It can't hurt to have a little inspiration. This year, that is what we intend to do. Gifts should mean something and in today's society, it's hard to make time to find the perfect present. From video junkies to fashionistas, it is all covered. Read on for some tips and thoughtful ideas on how to make this Christmas stress-free and inspiring!

     Jewelry is always the way to go when giving any woman a present. Even the biggest tomboy will admit, diamonds are a girl's best friend. This year, break out from the typical strand of pearls and go the extra mile with these bracelets from Brooklyn Thread, exquisite stand out rings from T.Plowdowski, and unexpected delicates for the animal lover from bluGrn design.
     Clothing can always be a tough thing to give to a loved one especially if you don't quite know their taste. A cashmere sweater is always a classic present on the big day so why not give the classic and Oprah's favorite with the Ralph Lauren Oprah Cable Sweater in fine Italian cashmere.
     There is a budding makeup artist in most women so start off any lady with the best foundation out there, Armani Silk Fluid Luminous Foundation. Whether a beginner or pro, you can't go wrong with this product seriously presenting the look of flawless skin. Add a few more favorites and stuff it all into a genius carrying case from Sephora.
     For the gadget girl, the IPhone 4G is the perfect accessory. With a 5 mega pixel camera and over a million apps, there is nothing you can't do. There is also a Face Time option allowing other 4G users to talk face to face. Insane!
     Every gal loves UGGS even if they will not admit it. Why not try something different in style without sacrificing the comfort? The UGG Croquette Clog is the way to go. As cozy as a slipper, step outside and look adorable in some skinny jeans with just the right amount of fur showing through.
     For a friend,  roots candles are amazing! The whole line is named after Boston areas and landmarks and mixed together with the freshest scents. They fill an entire room with a gorgeous blend you won't find anywhere else.

     For the baker, get the book Cake Pops by the famous chef Bakerella. Blake Lively is a fan of these adorable treats!

     For the bride-to-be, why not get her Fortune Telling Book for Brides revealing how to bring all things good to a wedding celebration. 
     For your guy, why not bring him back to his childhood and keep him busy for hours with this Mini Foosball Table. Not only is portable so you don't have to decorate a whole room around it, but the kids can play too allowing for countless hours of peace.    
     For Mom, these classic Betty Crocker Recipe Cards are sure to allow for plenty of fun and creativity in the kitchen. So classically original!
For Dad, what is better than a Jonathan Adler Smoking Pipe Match Holder? Such a unique idea! He will feel extra manly.
     Always acceptable, beautiful stationary is one of the most perfect gift choices. One can never have too much and nothing is more personal. Try these from Walk Up Press. They are from a design studio started in Brooklyn and all the stationery is designed and letterpress printed by hand.
 Have fun and don't stress. It should be about the personal thought because that is what make people smile. Happy Holidays!
