Girlawhirl finds that some of the most well received gifts tend to be splurges that people wouldn't indulge in for themselves. Upgrades and spectacular versions of items that we use every day make for wonderful presents and Girlawhirl's found some gorgeous examples below…
• For women who are constantly putting their hair up in a bun or clip or those who twist and secure with anything at hand - even a pencil - a shiny sterling silver version of their clip of choice from the Sundance Catalog makes a spectacular gift.

• And when lipstick comes to mind, Girlawhirl has found the most luxurious of all. From perfumier Serge Lutens, come six highly pigmented shades, chock full of vitamins and moisturizers. Girlawhirl is partial to the most beautiful shade of red, called True Blue Red, which while definitely splurge-worthy, is also refillable.
