UGG Boots - I have yet to meet a girl that doesn't want a pair of UGG Boots, even if she already owns a pair - she wants another pair. From the classic tall boots in black, to slippers in a pretty pink and regal purple slippers with a snakeskin print and satin bow - believe me when I tell you, she will definitely be happy. www.UGGAustralia.com - $195 - $110

Josh Cellars - Most ladies I know that love to drink wine, are looking for style and quality, yet an unassuming approachable brand that is as bold and expressive as she is. This is Josh Cellars, the label drew me in with it's gorgeous script, and the taste has kept me coming back. Each variety is elegant, balanced and relevant to her lifestyle. www.JoshCellars.com - $11 - $13

Rabbit Wine Chiller - Having chilled wine is not always an easy task with everything she has going on in her world, from work, to the kids, to home and you - she can't plan everything out! The Rabbit Wine chiller takes the stress of a chilled glass of wine at the ready for her. Simply pour your wine into the carafe, add ice to the holding tube, place inside carafe and fold the silicone sleeve over to seal it all - and pour her troubles away.

VINIQ - Most ladies I know are obsesses with purple, shimmery and fruity - VINIQ is all that in a cocktail. A blend of premium vodka, sweet Moscato, fruit flavors and a sparkle to keep her excited and happy. She may consider the smaller 375 ml size a personal serving, so best to get a few so she's covered. www.VINIQ.com

375ml - $10

750ml - $16
