Uncrate Women's Holiday Gift Guide 2006

First Row: Most ladies love a nice picture frame, so you can always start off your shopping with the Photo Snowglobe ($20-$40). Watches are always a good choice as well, and this Nixon Socialite Watch ($90) makes a versatile, stylish gift. If your woman is a laptop-toting mogul, check out this STM Intention Laptop Bag ($90) with a padded removable laptop sleeve. Of course, you can always get her something to light up her life, like the gorgeous Artencia Garland Brass Plated Light ($60).

Second Row: We know that a vacuum normally isn't going to set her world on fire, but the Dirt Devil Kone ($50) is more than a vacuum, it's a functional piece of art. Speaking of art, you can always combine decorating with something else she likes — like puppies — with an original piece of Pop Arf ($475 and up), which combines modern and urban art with cute pets. Perfume is another good idea, and Tom Ford Black Orchid ($90-$600) gives her the best of both worlds with an intense beginning and a subtle, mellow note later on. If she needs better organization more than she needs perfume, check out this lady-approved Kate Spade Debra Pocket Agenda ($150).

Third Row: If you're thinking about some tried-and-true jewelry this season, ditch the traditional and check out this modern, stylish Dior 3D Bee Necklace ($275). Everyone has a woman in their life that has more than enough jewelry (although she will adamantly deny this), so get her the equivalent of jewelry for her computer with this daisy of a set, the JBL Spyro Speaker System ($130). She can get her game on in style with the Pink Nintendo DS Lite ($130) coupled with a little Nintendogs or New Super Mario Bros. Then again, maybe she enjoys more relaxed, Bob Ross-style entertainment, like the Jullian Easel ($230), which features plenty of storage and niceties like brass fittings and a carrying strap.

Fourth Row: If she has a taste for tea, you might consider getting a nice compliment, like this Sausalito Tea Set ($60) that looks as if it stepped right out of 1967 (In a good way), or you could try out a gift that gives all year long with Teavana's Tea of the Month Club ($120-$220). While reading with her tea, perhaps the company of the Reading Light ($44) will do her some good. Of course, if she has a laptop and a bag but no sleeve, you might consider a Rebe Laptop Sleeve ($80) in one of several patterned designs.
