What Women Really Want — Under the Tree
A White Christmas. World peace. Good health. Those three always make my Christmas list, but sometimes a girl likes something all to herself, especially if she’s the mom of the household relegated to impersonating Santa for weeks.

Yes, it’s better to give than to receive, but after writing stacks of Christmas cards and creating dazzling packages with ribbons and bows, it’s awfully nice to unwrap a gift or two from the significant others in one’s life. So, significant others: Get shopping! Christmas and Purchase Street are right around the corner.
Bringing in the wow factor, Great Stuff’s Omo leopard coat is striking and stylish. It can be worn over any one of the shop’s many elegant party dresses. She will undoubtedly feel very special in Remy Brook’s off-the-shoulder jasmine dress or the Burning Torch beaded, chiffon number. Great Stuff also carries silky tops galore in a variety of vibrant colors.
Weezie D offers a variety of looks that capture every side of her. Trunk cotton “yoga girl” and “pilates girl” tees are fun, while their Bob Marley and Beatles tops may bring out her inner rock star. Hats and caps with bows or metal grommets come in all colors and prints, as do their very fashionable Ark and Company or Double Zero contemporary capes.
Take good care of her this winter with Shoes ‘n’ More boots that are both trendy and warm. Their all-weather selections by Tecnica and La Canadienne will protect her from the elements, while Skanda takes it up a notch with goat hair. For the lady who loves her iPhone, the shop carries Michael Kors wristlets with iPhone holders, as well as Echo touch gloves that “keep your hands warm while you keep in touch.”
For a change of pace, Parkers presents Rambler’s Way sleepwear and layering pieces, made of superfine wool. Brought to you by the makers of Tom’s of Maine toothpaste, the line is organic, natural, and ever so soft. The eco thermal apparel is available at 40% off through December 31. Of course, one can never go wrong with the shop’s sleek Tumi collection of weekenders and leather-trimmed travel organizers.
