Girlfriends really do make the world go round. Well mine do. They rock. I get asked a lot about who I consider to be style icons and I will always say, my girlfriends.
Each owns her own style. They are never shy to glam up and they know just the right way to glam down too.
I love that I have a girlfriend whose only flat shoes in her wardrobe are her Havaianas thongs. I love that I have a girlfriend who looks incredibly chic in a turban. I love that I have a girlfriend who is rarely seen in anything but black but when she does she wows us with red. I love that I have a girlfriend who’s not afraid to go from blonde to brunette and back again. And I love that I have a girlfriend who always looks effortlessly chic, kaftan-style.
Most of all, I love that each of my girlfriends loves a chat, loves a party … and loves a champagne.
Merry Christmas to all the wonderful best-girlfriends out there.
Here’s what I’d love to bundle up and send you for Christmas:
1. Salvation Jane tea towel $19 | 2. Uberkate Delicate Circle cuff $99 | 3. ABBA Dance wii game $69.47 | 4. Mimco Talisman Teardrop earrings $129 | 5.

Don’t need two guesses about who your red & black friend might be. Very honoured to be included in your besties list.
If money was no object, I would be buying us all a group trip to New York!
Love you xx

Thanks Rhonda x
My BFF has been a single gal for the longest time & she was buying gifts for both me & hubby while we only had to buy for her. So a few years back we decided to forgo gifts in exchange for a dining experience. Now every year at Xmas the 3 of us (my hubby inc) treat ourselves to a meal at a nicer restaurant than a typical date night, usually one my bestie has never tried. We’ve never looked back. We get to try somewhere new, enjoy a great night out & more importantly a guaranteed catch-up & quality face-to-face time with my bff in the pre-Christmas rush.

Oh Jacki that’s the most beautiful thoughtful way to do it. Catch up and something special to remember to.
So I should be looking for all of those awesome goodies in my doorstep then?

Darling Nikki,
I have sad news. I’m not getting you anything! It would be too hard to choose. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you dearly.

Aren’t we sending each other “virtual” gifts?! LOL.
My girlfriend really wants a Lanolips….so I’ve just wrapped one up and sending it to her 😀 In Scotland 😀
Author
I would be very happy with that! Love Lanolips!
wow…would be lovely to be on the receiving end of those presents. I have bought for two girlfriends…one is getting earrings that match a necklace she has and the other scented tea lights and a divine holder, and will be sharing bubbles with them too!

They sound like perfect pressies … things that are indulgent and what we wouldn’t normally treat ourselves with.
I will definitely be buying my bestie a corded phone. Not cordless, but one with a cord. Everytime I call her she never answers because she has forgotten where she last left the handset and it has gone flat! Also love the Abba Wii game – there’s nothing more fun than a big singing contest with your friends. Although last time I played one of these, my husband, who is the worst singer in the world, won!
Author
Oh, that’s so funny Jenny! I bet you’d be able to find a great “retro” one. And re the wii singing, what’s with that? Maybe it just sounds more like the accent on the program when we sing out of tune?!
As said bestie, I would like to exclaim indignantly that this is all lies, but it’s completely true. I’m a hopeless case!
Author
Hahaha! Love it … Jenny, you’re caught out!
Ha! ha! Whoops, totally caught out, might need to think of another Chrissy present!
Wanted to buy a friend a dress and knowing the right size is such a headache so these gift ideas are great!
Author
Oh, fantastic … good luck with the shopping!
I am putting together a box style gifts for girlfriends. One is pregnant and due in February so I have for her: cranberry nail polish, elmo wipes, mini johnsons baby pack, chrissy t-towel and taking her to Ella Bache for a manicure/pedicure.
No2 bestie: “Every thing is going to be OK” by Chronicle Books, candy pink nail polish, chrissy t-towel and deciding on the next item..can’t put my finger on it yet…searching. 🙂
I love it here..
Author
Oh I want to be your friend 😉 such thoughtful packs. Love them.
I’ll have some MOET please! haha – love the gift guide!
Nikki, I mentioned you in my Shopbop Comp post, and wondering, do I add your link as a trackback or something somewhere?

Cheers! My fave champers. I got the trackback – thanks so much!
Love the ABBA dance Wii game! Santa is bringing a Wii for my girls this Christamas, and that will definitely be under the tree. My 5 nearly 6 year old loves ABBA and so does her mum, so it will be a not so pretty dance off! Thanks for the gift ideas, I would love to be the recipient of any of those.

Sounds like a plan Tracey! No better way to work off the Christmas pud either.
