Fly Girls

2007 Holiday Gift Guide for Girls

She can down a tall latte in a single gulp and text faster than a speeding bullet. But there’s nothing like a knockout gift to tell a woman she’s super.

Powerpuff Girl
Appeal to a crime fighter’s inner princess with Kathleen Lewis artisanal beeswax candles (Essenza, 615 North 35th Street; 206-547-4895), locally made Sweet Nina’s body polish, or Gene Juarez’s heavenly new ayurvedic massage and Champi head treatment.

Charlie’s Angel
She was your partner in crime through grade school and beyond. Replace your “Best Friends” necklaces with matching Jessica Kagan Cushman bangles or send her down memory lane with reissued My So-Called Life DVDs.

Violet Incredible
Keep her invisible from Old Man Winter with Tamara Henriques wellies (Canopy Blue, 3121 East Madison Street; 206-323-1115) or decadent cashmere over-the-knee socks.

Wonder Woman
She’ll take no prisoners in the kitchen with Cooper Mountain Vineyards’s organic, barrel-aged balsamic vinegar or the beautifully illustrated classic Spanish cookbook, 1080 Recipes (Tableau, 2220 Northwest Market Street; 206-782-5846).

Jem and the Holograms
She’s a sucker for accessories, so have Lil’Paisley vintage jewelry shop owner Kristen Gruber rework a family heirloom (6500 Phinney Avenue North, unit b; 206-784-5255) or surprise her with local knitter Meg White’s very affordable hatlets (Horseshoe, 720 North 35th Street; 206-547-9639).

Wham. Bam. Thank you, man.
