Girls Will Be Girls

2006 Holiday Gift Guide for Girls

High school stereotypes may be a thing of the past (hallelujah), but figuring hers out will lead you to the perfect gift.

Most Likely to Marry A Gazillionaire
Indulge her with estate jewelry (Meriwether, 3524 Sacramento Street; 415-359-1111), a membership to the Schramsberg Cellar Club, and a cashmere hot water bottle cozy for the morning after.

Most Likely to End Up Barefoot and Pregnant
If she’s knee-deep in diapers, a Susanne Maddux tote will keep her organized, mommy and me yoga classes will keep her fit, and Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead keep her and baby tuned in.

Most Likely to Win the Nobel Peace Prize (or Get Arrested for Saving a Tree)
You care about her … conflict-free diamonds … and the earth … life-affirming recycled paper notes by Offcuts (Dauphine Press, 119 Kentucky Street, Petaluma; 707-775-4200) … and you think she’s one-of-a-kind … custom essential oil made with organic ingredients (SenSpa, 1161 Gorgas Avenue; 415-441-1777).

Most Likely to Be the Next Martha Stewart
She’s on a mission to make the perfect croissant. Encourage her with the Tartine cookbook and a custom tray from Wynne Alex, a bright, new Pac Heights home store (3085 Sacramento Street; 415-922-1600). Connoisseur exports shopping lists and recipes to her iPod for maximum efficiency.

Most Likely to Audition for American Idol
Keep the dream alive with singing lessons (The Voice Studio, 1399 18th Street; 415-648-4088). A Kasil scoodie will keep both throat and head warm (Candystore, 3153 16th Street; 415-863-8143), while a pin-striped Lacroix bustier is a showstopper onstage and off (A la Folie, 1816 Fourth Street, Berkeley; 510-845-1616).

Hey, you survived high school. You can make it through the holidays.
