Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

2007 Holiday Gift Guide for Girls

Ah, your girlfriends. What an eclectic bunch. With everyone from mom to your tattooed roommate expecting a present, we suggest the following.

For Mom
All she wants is a little time with you (or far, far away from you). Book her a custom facial at Blossom (13 South State Street, Newtown; 215-860-3388). Their products will help her recover from holiday stress in no time. And if she brings you along, you’ll get a gift, too: Q-time with mom (we mean, of course, spa time).

For the Mystery Lover
Is your gumshoe-obsessed friend shamelessly addicted to Murder, She Wrote? (Or maybe you are.) The Crimes of Dr. Watson has interactive clues (a ripped manuscript, an empty matchbook, an arrest report) that will engross readers who love choose-your-own-adventures and Victorian crime mysteries.

For the Aspiring Pinup
Miss Sexpot just can’t get enough of the new designs at Sailor Jerry (116-118 South 13th Street; 215-531-6380). Pick up sailor tees and wrap dresses and stash them in the rolled leather handled Hold Fast tote or the Swallow Tattoo bowler bag printed with classic flash.

For Sis
She’s swiped a lifetime of clothing from you. Hook her up with soft cotton basics from Graham & Spencer (Third Street Habit, 153 North Third Street; 215-925-5455) and you’ll be taking from her. Or head to Foster’s Homeware (399 Market Street; 215-925-0950) for a Hibiscus dish set, a Loopsey wine rack, and other neat stuff for her new apartment.

For Your BFF
Show her how thankful you are that she’s been there through thick and thin with a whimsical necklace from Bing Bang. She’ll treasure it for years to come — just like your friendship.
