HuffPost Social Reading

Every year, we find ourselves spending a good amount of time trying to find the best gift for the women in our lives, from our gal pals to our mothers. Of course, they all have different tastes and style and, really, most of the time they seem happy just spending time with us during the holidays. But we want to take it one step further and show "our" appreciation for them. That's why we've rounded up some inspiring finds that we're thinking of gifting our favorite ladies...and we hope you'll feel inspired too.

Flip through the slideshow to see some of our favorite picks for the ladies.

Other than the overnight bag, there is absolutely NOTHING on that list that I'd want to have under my tree. I think I'd rather have a snuggee. I have to agree with one of the other posters, do an email search and see what's on her wish list.

As a woman, I don't think I'd want any of that stuff... except maybe the novel notebook. However, can't imagine that's anything many other's would want. This reads more as a list of what to get when you don't care what the people want.

In the end, It's worth the effort to do an email search on Amazon.com to see if they have a wishlist or ask what their favorite retail website is... they likely have a wishlist there. It takes less than 5 minutes and you'll get something they want.

I suppose it is too crass to list the price for these tidbits?

In my best interests not to get any of that for my wife. Nothing there she'd want.
