It’s getting close to Christmas. Do you need some gift ideas for tall people? You can’t go wrong with a gift card or an egift card. That way they can pick out whatever they want.
We have a nice selection of gift cards and egift cards.

On Christmas Day we are giving away a $40 gift card courtesy of eShakti.com. They sell affordable women’s custom made clothing in pants, coats, dresses, skirts, shirts and much more. Their size range is great from size 0-26.

I recently was given the opportunity to get a free item on their website for see how their ordering process works. I chose this coat:

Here is my honest review. I thought the coat fit perfectly. The measuring process was easy and in the comment section I was even able to tell them the exact length I wanted. After getting this coat, I probably would have chosen a different style as the collar was a bit large and doesn’t lay down quite flat. I will fix this by adding a snap. I like that it is lined inside. The wool is not as heavy as I would have like as I live in Colorado and it’s pretty cold here. I also would have liked to have some pockets. I thought the sewing and seaming are high quality. Overall I am pleased and will use this as a dress coat for church and other dressy occasions (when it’s not below zero outside). I ordered the custom made coat and it came to my house by UPS and arrived exactly 7 days after I ordered it. I was impressed at the speed.

I will be featuring lots of gift ideas over the next few weeks as Christmas is coming fast! Today I would like to show you my own personally recommended top women’s Christmas gift ideas other than clothing.

1. Easy to use Memory Mixer 3 digital scrapbook program. I switched from traditional scrapbooking to this program and love it! $39.95

2. Along the same lines, I love my Cricut Expression Dicut Machine. I have both sizes, but the larger Expression can make bigger dicuts and is more versatile. I use this for school projects, scrapbooking, vinyl word art, making cards and more. This particular bundle includes two cartridges, and a book binder/laminate. The ultimate splurge for the crafty women at $310.06.

3. Of course a digital camera is always nice. I recently purchased a Cannon PowerShot SD780 IS. I researched for many months, and found this to have all the features I wanted including the ability to take high definition videos. It’s small, but still able to take high quality picture. This will come in handy on our upcoming trip to Taiwan to pick up our daughter. I chose red as hopefully the bright color will make it easier to find when I misplace it. (unfortunately, a bit of a problem for me) $199

4. Beauty gift sets are always nice. Nordstrom.com’s “Beauty Gift Guide” has a huge selection of makeup, perfume, and other beauty gifts in all price ranges including gifts under $25. I love Philosophy sets as they always smell so nice. Although I have not tried the exclusive Philosophy ‘holiday spice & everything nice’ duo (see above) it sounds festive and only costs $20.

5. As I mentioned previously, I sometimes misplace items. I have found a purse that internally has compartments to keep me organized. I have owned my Butler Bag for 2 years and it’s been my favorite purse. This is the perfect gift for a busy woman who doesn’t have time to fumble around for items she needs. $165. You can save a little money by purchasing a sample sale bag (limited quantities) or they have a current promotion buy and 2 and get a free small tote. Click here to get the Butler Bag!
