Think one-stop holiday shopping has to mean Shins CDs all around? At the shops below, you can find something for all the girls in your life — and no one will be the wiser.
By the Book: Madison
For the crossword freak, Merriam Webster’s (coffee table-worthy) Collegiate Dictionary is leather bound in bright turquoise, chocolate, gold, red, or yellow. Or ditch the obvious reads for something with a little edge: How to Stay Bitter Through the Happiest Times of Your Life should do the trick. For more creative types, an alligator-embossed scratchpad is a perfect blank canvas for all her genius ideas. (All at Madison, 45a Highland Park Village; 214-528-8118.)
By the Way: The Fitting Room
Jet-setters can catch some zzzs on the plane with Armand Diradourian’s swank cashmere travel sets. She can get nailed a mile high with Baekgaard’s hot pink mini-manicure kit. Help her chill out post-flight with SMP/Midnight Relax bath oil. And for the girl who has everything: a snakeskin wallet by Zina Eva. (All at The Fitting Room, 4111 Lomo Alto Drive; 214-520-3600.)
By the Numbers: Forty Five Ten
Well-brought-up girls will always say thank you to classy stationery. We love Mrs. John L. Strong’s In the Dog House writing tablets and the Lucky 7 notecards, featuring horseshoes, four-leaf clovers, and monkeys. Soolip’s calendar will keep the paper theme going. Rani Arabella’s soft and fuzzy cashmere balls will make her giggle, as will Apothia’s Chrismukkah candle or diffuser. (All at Forty Five Ten, 4510 McKinney Avenue; 214-559-4510.)
By Hook or by Crook
Don’t have time to leave the house? Aqua Medical Spa gift cards and Virginia Johnson’s cheeky wool shawls can be purchased online (as can much of the above). The hopeless romantic will never suspect you shopped for this love musical in your skivvies. And your favorite do-gooder will be doubly thankful that the donation you made in her name to Heroes for Children required zero damage to the environment.
