• Girlawhirl has never met a woman who didn't love a gift of cashmere. Anything cashmere. So her first suggestion is to check out her previous gift guide full of cashmere gifts.

• Every year, there's an ‘it' perfume, and this year, Tom Ford's Black Orchid is about as ‘it' as it gets. Its sculptural black bottle screams glamour, and its combination of exotic notes from black truffle to lotus wood, incense and black currant delivers it.

• Or for a different take on fragrance, Girlawhirl suggests The Cologne Collection from Jo Malone. Six of her most popular fragrances packaged together. And the best part is that they can be mixed, matched and layered.

• As for jewelry, Girlawhirl believes that there's far too much pressure on men to produce a diamond at the holidays. She knows many women who would prefer a gift of jewelry that says the fella has noticed things. Does she have a penchant for silver versus gold, or even rose gold instead of the more typical yellow gold? Are dangling earrings part of her every day wardrobe? Would a charm bracelet delight her? If the answer is yes to any of the above, Girlawhirl suggests checking out the Sundance Catalog's varied collection of beautiful jewelry.
