Gifts on the Top of her Wish List for Under the Tree

Whether the woman on your gift list loves to travel and explore the outdoors or prefers a night in watching a movie or listening to music, here are 10 great gift ideas that will make her holidays bright.

Hot Iron

She will love making herself gorgeous for date night with Paul Mitchell Pro Tools, like the limited edition peacock printed express ion smoothing iron, constructed with a blend of silicone and ceramic to speed up styling times and fight frizz with negative ion technology for a shiny, elegant finish. Available at Paul Mitchell schools and professional salons found at www.paulmitchell.com. Prices vary by salon.

Getting Warm-Her

She’ll stay cozy and comfy this winter with an Exofficio Women’s Storm Logic Vest, featuring rip-stop water repellant warm-even-when-wet Primaloft Sport fabric, a fleece-lined collar and pockets and an interior pocket. The vest not only looks great as casual wear and performs like a champ as sportswear – it also converts into a travel pillow in its own built-it sack. $120.00. Available at REI or www.Exofficio.com.

Girl in the Hoody

For a casual day out, she’ll look smart and sporty in the space-dyed Exofficio Chica Cool Long-Sleeve Hoody, featuring SPF moisture-wicking fabric, four buttons down the front, a drawstring hood and kangaroo pockets for hands or small items. $75. Available at REI or www.Exofficio.com

Pajama Mama

Whether it’s lounging around on a lazy Sunday morning or snuggling up for a Roku all-nighter, she will love hanging out in PJ Savage’s Monkeying Around PJ set.

These super hi-tech sandals worn by many Olympic athletes post-competition are designed to help the body recover from sport activity and relieve heel, knee, leg and back pain. The lower heel bed is reminiscent of the Earth shoes of the 70s, but the rest of the shoe is space age, including the materials (VIBRAM outsole, triple-density EVA) and the styling (leather uppers with a bungee strap overlay). Available at www.orthoheelusa.com. $99.95.
