28 October 2009

In the 1980's movie Desperately Seeking Susan, frustrated housewife Roberta, while seeking an escape route from her boring suburban life, buys a daredevil rock-chic jacket. Then following a surprise blow to the head, Roberta suffers amnesia and becomes embroiled in the dynamic life of the jacket's original owner, footloose city drifter Susan, played by Madonna; and embarks on a whirlwind adventure! Not only does she experience a welcome break from her humdrum life, she also meets her Mr Right in the process!

Everyday life is never as exciting as this, which is why movies like these enjoy box-office success. Sadly, real life sees newspapers full of lonely hearts columns, where everybody is desperately seeking that special someone that they rarely find. This becomes particularly poignant at Christmas which is seen as a time for being with loved ones and celebrating relationships. Sadly for some ladies, Santa is just as elusive at Christmas as the perfect man, no matter how good his disguise.
So if you know a lady who will be alone this Christmas, show a bit of heart. The truth is, as humans, we're all desperately seeking something. So whether she's a Bridget Jones type seeking her knight in shining armour or independent and happy in her own skin, she's sure to be desperately seeking Santa and there are plenty of Christmas gifts for her that are guaranteed to bring some sunshine into her festive season and see her through the dark times of single-dom.

Pretty Durable Gifts
If you're looking through the Christmas gifts for her with a particular single friend in mind, remember that this is the opportunity to supply her with all those practical items she can never be inspired to buy for herself. How about a car maintenance kit or a set of drills? Not the obvious choice for a lady you might think, until now that they have been made available in irresistible girly pink! The gorgeous 'Pink Car kit' and 'Pink Drill kit' make the ultimate Christmas gifts for her and you'll have peace of mind that she'll never again be caught out in an emergency. You can also encourage her to get active in the garden with gorgeous tools for green-fingered girls. Items such as the 'William Morris Daisy Secateurs' make great Christmas gifts for her. They're pretty enough to be hung on the wall yet sturdy and resilient enough for the garden and ideal for trimming and pruning delicate plants and shrubs.

Tools For A Man Hunt
Many single ladies have chosen to be so because they simply refuse to settle for second best and have decided to hold out for the perfect man. If you know someone that fits this description you'll be seeking nothing but the best Christmas gifts for her. Whatever you choose to buy, why not throw in a copy of the 'I'm going to marry into money and this is my plan' notebook as the stocking filler of choice for anyone with a devious plan! The back cover of this cheeky little pad bears the words 'Don't you just love it when a plan comes together' for the smuggest of happy endings. And while she's carrying out her plan to meet Mr Right, she'll need a smart little red book for all those important names and addresses. The 'Her Little Red Book' with its smart metallic faux leather cover, is the perfect place to store them. Then when she comes home from all those hot dates, what better than a cup of tea and some calming love songs to help her wind down and evaluate her feelings. The 'Tea set for one - polka dot design' and the 'Tea for two love song CD' may be just the tonic.

Chocolate Heaven
Everyone knows that when needs be, chocolate is a great substitute for the opposite sex and when your love life is a disaster, often the choice is clear. So when it comes to Christmas gifts for her, why not turn to the wonders of cocoa for some yummy inspiration. With items like 'The Choc Box' giving the traditional selection box a run for its money, there'll be no disputing the smile on her face on Christmas morning when she unwraps this lovely hamper, packed to the brim with all her traditional favourites from Caramac to Curly Wurly. If she's a real chocoholic, you could use your imagination and create your own hamper of chocolate related goodies, including a copy of the 'Lady and the Chocolate book', a 'Milk chocolate truffle lip balm' and a 'Personalised Chocoholic Mug'. Oh and don't forget to throw in a couple of tubes of 'Chocolate body paint' for that long-awaited day when she meets Mr Right.
