To get you cogitating about the sisters on your list (whether related by blood or bonds of friendship), I've put together 10 pretty gifts designed to please women of all tastes without leaving your wallet full of nothing but regret and tumbleweeds.

There are few things tastier than the sweet tang of cranberry sauce, and this is the only time of year when I have a good excuse to eat as much of it as I want. The people who concoct seasonal flavors clearly feel the same way I do, because they always come out with a bunch of mouthwateringly scented cranberry goodies this time of year. To celebrate this little beauty industry cran-fest, I've put together some of the prettiest, yummiest fruits of this year's product harvest.

When it comes to holiday makeup, all that glitters truly is gold. There are few shades more universally flattering, and the light-diffusing properties of metallics make skin look soft, warm, and undeniably inviting. There's no better time of year to deck yourself out in a little royal glitter, whether you want to glow in soft candlelight or correct the harshness of fluorescent office lighting.

At Sephora, I happened upon this Frederic Fekkai Golden Shimmer Gelée Mist ($20) which has "micro-diamond particles that impart subtle luminosity and glamour for all of your holiday festivities." All I could think was, "The holidays, they are upon us!" But then I realized, "Hey, we're barely out of October."

This New Year's Eve, I'm planning on doing a super low-key gathering with some friends since I have to I have to catch a flight the next day. Plane ride plus hangover? No thanks.

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and happy Kwanzaa — and best wishes for 2009! It's been a busy year, from Fall fashion week to exploring Chanel's flower fields to some seriously ugly business. I've enjoyed getting to know so many of you (some even in person!), and I look forward to another year together.

Earlier this week, I filled you in on the brand's 12 Days of Christmas Lip-Stravanganza in my post about three lip balms for mistletoe moments, and now here's another festive find: 8 Days of Luscious Lips Happy Hanukkah Lip Spa Set ($18). Included in the sweet kit is a brown sugar exfoliating lip scrub, two breath mint lip balms, a hazelnut cocoa butter lip balm, a day/night lip conditioner, a mango butter lip balm, a shiny clear gloss, and a matte gloss. The only thing that could make this cute collection better?
