Present Tense

2008 Holiday Gift Guide for Girls

Here come the girls — and with them, a host of gift dilemmas. Read on for solutions galore.

The Domestic Goddess
The house-proud gal can show off her picture-perfect life on a digital photo frame fridge magnet. She’ll be the hostess with the mostest with a Leathersmith hostess book and will impress guests with a quirky Blaue Blume cake stand.

The City Slicker
A pair of Swims will please the urbanite on the go, while a personal safety alarm — which mimics the sound of a woman screaming — keeps a smart girl safe.

The Rock Star
This chick wants hot rocks. An Asha by ADM zodiac ring or pendant will give her added star quality while earrings from the Missoma Wings of Love collection will keep her flying high.

The Jet-Setter
If you can track her down, offer a travelling companion: the Tania cashmere wrap will keep her snug when flying, a Diptyque Scotch pine candle will remind her of home, and Abahna bathing products should help her unwind after a long flight.

The Do-Gooder
Help protect Indian villagers from the monsoons or sponsor a tea dance to lift the spirits of the elderly by giving your dear friend a few Good Gifts.

The Unreliable Friend
Angry at her tardiness? Extend an Oloves olive snack and help your unmanageable pal get organized with a Mrs. John L. Strong calendar and easel. Then show it’s time to forgive with a chalkboard wall clock.

You’ll soon be present and correct.
