• Girlawhirl will introduce the greenest in her group of buddies to Amala this holiday season. The website transparently states the percentages of organic plant and overall ingredients in each product. Girlawhirl couldn't find one that registered less than 80% and many were well into the 90s, these products are both luxurious and eco friendly. She'll start her friend off with a wintertime essential – Hydrating Hand Cream. $13.50 – $50 amalabeauty.com
• A Mini-Wristlet from Coach makes running out of the office quick and light for Girlawhirl's tied-to-her-desk-all-day Super Pal. There's enough room for her ID, office security card, a lipstick and some cash, so she can dash out for an afternoon coffee without having to drag her handbag along. $66 nordstrom.com
• For a dear friend who's just become a mother, a Nestling Bird necklace says it all. She knows this one will be admired by all the moms she knows – and the good news is that it comes with up to four little chickies. $72 - $80 uncommongoods.com
• Nars Orgasm Lip Gloss and Nail Polish Gift Set is all it takes to make her shy friend blush! Girlawhirl knows this limited edition goodie will fly off the shelves, so she's picking one up for herself as well.
$30 sephora.com
• Another limited edition set from Nars goes to Girlawhirl's off-to-Mexico-for-the-holidays Super Pal. It's two mini Monoï Body Glows, one that's slightly tinted and shimmery, to warm up her winter legs a bit, and the other is clean and clear. Both soften the skin with the scent of the tropics.
$35 sephora.com
• Honestly, truly, she's never done this before, but this year, with abundant sales in the stores, all Girlawhirl and her Super Pals can think about is the bounty of merchandise that will still be around in January. And that means major markdowns – which could translate into scooping up a Missoni dress or pair of unbelievable shoes or boots at a never-before-seen price. So she might just help support the wait-it-out game with a round of gift certificates from their favorite department stores. saks.com, nordstrom.com, macys.com
Don't Blow the Budget: • An outdoor inspired cutting board that's too pretty to stay in the kitchen. Girlawhirl can see it doing double duty as a cheeseboard or trivet when company comes over. There's also a wood grain option. $18 uncommongoods.com
$15 uncommongoods.com
