• Girlawhirl only knows one woman who doesn't love chocolate. (And truth be told, she thinks she's crazy. But that's a whole different story). At Cocoa Bella, they love chocolate. And for the holidays they've put together the cream of the crop, hand selected by the shop's owner Michael Freeman. Over 350 artisan chocolates were reviewed and 18 were chosen to be represented in the ‘Greatest Box of Chocolates.'

• What woman doesn't dream of a special fragrance to call her own? Girlawhirl's found classically trained and San Francisco based ‘nose' Ineke Rühland, who creates gorgeous scents. And instead of guessing what her recipient would like, she slips the deluxe sample collection into her bag of gifts, so she can test, try, and fall in love with whichever fragrance suits her best.

• A day at a spa should never be considered a cop-out gift. It's certainly a luxury that women yearn for, but in most cases wouldn't purchase for themselves. Girlawhirl suggests an online search through SpaFinders.com to find something nearby or to book the ultimate spa escape.
• A gift of jewelry is always wonderful, but how about upping the ante a little bit with the addition of a Jewelry Armoire to keep all of her baubles organized, untangled and easy to find? Girlawhirl loves this one because there are places to hang necklaces so they are easy to find and the chains won't get wrapped around each other.

• Girlawhirl never minds receiving – or giving – a bottle of champagne or wonderful wine especially when it's a bottle that she – or her recipient – would never splurge on for herself. And along with it comes the promise of another gift – enjoying it!
