Gifts for the Girls: Hostesses, Friends, Sisters, Mothers...

My mother and mother-in-law are always fairly easy to shop for, fortunately. Most women are, in my opinion. There are so many things you can buy for a girl. But that doesn't mean we couldn't all use some more ideas. After all, my mother only needs so many cardigans!

Squirrel Nut Bowl, $98: Whimsical and decorative, this beautiful bowl makes a charming gift for an animal lover!

China Cabinet Bracelet, $68: Quirky and cool, this is perfect for the girlfriend with a confident sense of style.

Paper Blossoms Pop-Up Book, $23.10: Open a page of this clever book and  you have one pop-up floral centerpiece after another. A fun find for a modern hostess.

Petals Tattoo Necklace, $48: Supple eco-plastic molds to the skin like a tattoo, creating a look that is lovely and edgy all at once.

One of a Kind Tin Can Tillie Dolls, $275: Yes, they're pricey, but these unique conversation-pieces are handcrafted from salvaged china doll heads and antique tin cans.

Bollywood Accessories by Stephanie Johnson, $45-48: Glam, girly cases carry your electronics in style. I also love Rachel Roy's sleek leather digital accessories.
