She Loves You (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

2007 Holiday Gift Guide for Girls

You can’t buy her love, but it doesn’t hurt to try. Whether she’s your Penny Lane, Lady Madonna, or sexy Sadie, at the end of the day, she’s always a classic.

A Hard Day’s Night
She’s been working like a dog, so help her get organized with Paolo Cardelli’s bespoke binders , customizable by color, texture, and monogram. Defrazzle her chi with a feng shui class at Zengo (781 7th Street NW; 202-393-2929), where she’ll learn to mix a balanced cocktail and create the perfect sushi roll.

All You Need Is Love
She’ll eat her heart out with a set of heart-shaped spoons. Sparkly multicolored earrings by LoveDrops (Circle Boutique, 1736 14th Street NW; 202-518-2212) will feed her soul.

Get Back
Channel childhood nostalgia with a Lucite crane, key, or tiger necklace from KidViskous. Score stationery, calendars, and pillows at ARTiculate Gallery (1100 16th Street NW; 202-296-9100). All proceeds support the young adults with special needs who made them.

Ain’t She Sweet
It’s not resolution time just yet, so get her what she’s craving: a Swedish gingerbread caramel gift box filled with chewy, melt-in-your-mouth sweets (Après Peau, 1430 K Street NW; 202-783-0022).

Baby, You’re a Rich Man
If her sense of style is as big as her attitude, she’ll love Alexander McQueen’s gold-heeled booties (Hu’s Shoes, 3005 M Street NW; 202-342-0202). They also offer gift certificates (and expert advice) if she’s a tough one to buy for.
