GIFT WATCH 2010: For the ladies

Ah, the holidays and the resplendent, and often daunting shopping it can require.

I don't know about you, but I will be taking advantage of the free shipping and other discounts retailers are throwing at us in desperation.  Nordstrom, Anthropologie, J Crew, Banana Republic- they are just a few of the places courting your business this season.  And by courting, I mean Making A Play For Your Moolah.  Frankly, anything that keeps me out of the stores bustling with tourists and harried professionals works for me.  So online shopping it will be.

Here's some Stuff For The Ladies On Your List:
