Remember the days when shopping for women was considered easy? Like, perfume. Duh. Nowadays coming up with something she wouldn’t buy for herself is tough. Fear not: We’ve scoured the globe for gifts so thoughtful she’ll be amazed how well you know her.
For the Naughty Yet Nice Nymph
It’s not like she needs another excuse to prance around in her skivvies, but that shouldn’t stop you from giving her a set of insanely comfy,
ridiculously sexy lingerie from Bodas, the Brits’ answer to Cosabella. And she’ll be happier doing it box of chocolates in hand.
Her? A martini? Damn straight. And she’ll make a mean one, too, with a Stelton Barware Set (complete with cheese knife, ice tongs, and all the fixings for mixing). Now go get her slippers.
For the Woman Who Deserves a Day Off
Indulge her in a cashmere wrap, beautiful
pillows, and a pair of
comfy cashmere slippers, turn
up the Nina Simone, and you may not see her again till spring.
For Little Miss Type A (A.K.A. The Woman Who Never Takes a Day Off)
Carries the world on her shoulders? Well then she needs a bag to bear it
fashionably. Coach’s Hobo will do her right.
Give her a year of pure gym bliss with a membership to The Sports Club/LA (or any gym for that matter). You’re likely to like the endorphinized version of her all the better. And if she runs as fast as we think she does, she’ll need a pair of Puma H. Streets.
For the Serial Traveler
Work takes her far from home, but she’s not all business. Design
counts for something too. A handy traveling manicure set and some Rescue Nail Polish will help her stay groomed, while a snazzy combination watch/radio
will keep her tuned in and on time (under
“personal accessories” — “radio/watch”).
You know what they say about all work and no play … Take her to any of these places and she’ll adore you forever. (See, it’s kind of a present for you, too.)
For the Woman Who Loves Her Basic Black
The most perfect black tank top ever made? Hanro’s Touch Tank. Add a James Perse hoodie, a little
black G-string, Wolford
fishnets, sweet Jimmy Choos, a little black book, a black pug
(rescued, of course), and she’s good to go.
For the Offbeat One
The playful shapes and glowy appeal of Specimens art magnets will stuff her stocking nicely. A bright rubber radio will surely capture her fancy.
For the
If-It-Wasn’t-Expensive-I-Don’t-Want-It Gal
She feels naked when she isn’t adorned in something fabulous. If a drapy
necklace from Linea
Nervenkitt or a ten-ring set from Pianegonda doesn’t tickle her, then Pucci heels absolutely will. Still not
enough? Ooof! Try a pair of Piara earrings
or Cathy Waterman’s flower and vine ring. And if that’s not enough, dump her.
Oh, relax. Just kidding.
