While I already wrote a geek gift guide over on Random Sarah I thought it was only approprate for me to write a guide for all the other things that I am wanting, wishing, and needing this holiday season. These gifts are all great for any woman on your list.

#1 While anything from Tiffany & Co. will usually make a girl happy I am very fond of the 1837 collection. Here you have the Bar pendant in sterling silver. On an 18" chain. Anything from tiffanys makea great gift esspecial when she opens it and see that famous box. Her whole face will light up.

#2 Anything from Dogeared.com make a great gift I chose this little heart necklace for my list but anything from them is a great gift and always affordable.

#3 Gloves or a Scarf - A great pair of gloves or a scarf is always a great gift. Especially in the winter time. Find some that she will love and you are on your way to a great gift. This Tousled Scarf is one of my favorites and has been on my wishlist for some time.

If you took the handmade pledge this holiday season then check out some of these cool gifts over at Etsy. Just because you buy homemade doesn't mean you have to give up on quality. And in most cases it will actually save you money.

#4 Solid Gold Band ($42) - This ring is a simple, elegant, everyday piece. One slim (1mm), but strong 14k solid gold band. It has a polished, hammered finish. This ring is beautiful to give to anyone. Simple but classic.

#5 Thumbprint trading cards (gift card any amount) - give the gift of social style to that special someone on your list with a gift certificate to thumbprint trading cards! These gift certificates

are charmingly packaged in either a petal envelop or a pillow box [if accompanied by the purchase of a set of social appointment or note cards]. the package will be accompanied with product information, order information and sample thumbprint trading cards.

Thumbprint cards are custom designed photo business or social calling cards
these cards put a face with the name. What's more memorable than that?
- card measures two inches square
- professional off-set press printing using full color ink
- 14 pt recycled premium cardstock
- machine die cut
- front of card features your photo or image. shiny coat looks polished.
- back of card features your contact information. perfect writing surface.

#6 Double branch necklace ($42) - This necklace is 18K gold vermeil over sterling silver on a 21" fine chain. The branch pendant is approx. 1-1/2" long. The chain is gold filled, not plated, so will last for many more years.

This is a piece on the top of my wish list! Every piece by this artist is made to order by hand.

#7 Porcelain Pots With Little Bellies ($38) - This is a group of porcelain pots that are hand thrown and turned. They are reduction fired to 1280 in my gas kiln. The tallest one is 2 inches in height and diameter. They are glazed with celadon, temoku, white crystal and white. They can be used as sake cups, tea-light holders, for buttons, paper-clips what ever!

Always remember that whatever you get her she will love as you put thought into it. And the timeless gifts of food and chocolate always are good choices too.

These are the classic expandable bangles from Alex and Ani. I happen to wear three plain ones all the time, the are so simple and elegant that they go with everything. But they also come with different charms and stones attached. Check it out and let me know if you like them.

Nili Lotan Belted Fitted Silk Shirt Dress $420.00$210.00 - Jake

BCBGeneration Bishop-Sleeve Button-Down Shirt $88.00$61.60 - Macy's

While out at a signing for their new book MK&A wore very simple black and white outfits. Which are very easy to re-create. Mary-Kate's look starts with a pair of faux leather leggings, a large white button down shirt (then roll up the sleeves) Ashley's look is even more simple, get a simple black shirt dress, and roll up the sleeves. Top off both looks with sky high stilettos and some smokey eye makeup.
