For The Lady

Every woman will tell you that behind every good man is a better woman (hey, we say they're entitled to an opinion). But one thing is for certain: buying gifts for women is not easy on us guys. So we decided to take the guesswork out of shopping for her right here:
1-1/4 carat. Diamond Cluster Flower Ring. 14K White Gold, by Sears
Your lady will love you even more if you splurge on her for the holidays. Let her experience the botanical bliss glowing from this elegant ring. Eighty-one diamonds (1-1/4 ct. tw.) unite with 14k white gold creating a center flower cluster and radiant band (diamond carat may vary). $1,899.99

Brit 1.7 ounce Eau de Parfum,
by Burberry
This new fragrance comes from London, so you're buying a refined product that will show that you really care. The company calls it "a green oriental fragrance that features a surprising mix of sugar and spice." We take that type of language to mean that if you buy this perfume, you're really in. $65

Love in the Time of Cholera,
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
This book has long-been a classic, but when Oprah and her Book Club selected it as their book of choice back in October, it shot to the top of bestseller lists once again. Consider it a companion piece to the film, which hit the big screen in mid-November. $14.95

Holiday Patchwork Bleecker Duffle Bag,
from Coach
Rather than try to tell you why this bag is good for her, we decided instead to ask one of our stylish 20-something female colleagues. She says "this bag takes fabrics from Coach's signature, or most-loved, purses to create this mega-awesome purse. It feels like all the bags you couldn't afford along the way, and they've incorporated it all in this one awesome bag." That works for us. $368
