It happens every year — you’re lamenting the fact that stores are already decorating for the holidays, playing holiday music, advertising holiday sales, and then suddenly, the season is almost over and you have yet to buy a single thing. Get a jumpstart on the holiday season and stock up on a few special gifts early this year. We’ve taken the liberty of selecting a few of our favorites for that special lady (or lady friends) in your life this year.
Amy Poehler: “Yes Please” — Amy Poehler is a fool in the best possible way, and her brand of humor — prominently displayed throughout this book — is pro-woman, wise, and paints her as the sort of girl you’d love to kick back and hang with. Yes Please is one of those books you can’t put down and the perfect quick holiday read, and your friend will thank you for it whenever she's done reading.
Bottle of Absolut Warhol Limited Edition — Like Vodka? Always had a thing for Andy Warhol? Then you'll love the Absolut Warhol Limited Edition bottle, available just in time for the holidays. Now you can enjoy a mixed drink and be an art connoisseur at the same time. Why not give the gift of liquor, and a little bit of culture, at the same time?
Faking It: Season One — One of television’s best — and still being discovered — shows, if you haven’t seen Faking It (or if you have and just want to revisit), you’re in for a real treat. The show is about two girls who, desperate to become popular, are mistakenly outed as a lesbian couple, which makes them stand out among their classmates. The problem is, as the two keep up the charade, one of them begins to develop feelings for the other. Gay positive and refreshingly charming, this is the show your friend will wish was around when she was in high-school.
Public Bikes — For the bicyclist if your life, if you’re looking to do something extra special, check out Public bikes — lightweight, easy to ride cycles inspired by European design. Founded by the creator of Design Within Reach, the bikes are classic looking, sleek and surprisingly affordable. Plus they’re light enough for you to carry up a flight of stairs.
