After many birthdays, holiday seasons and just plain gift-giving occasions, I have decided that finding the perfect gift for your friends is really an art form. The best way to get your friends something they won’t be exchanging this season is to really assess their personal style and most of all LISTEN. People drop hints all the time as to what they want (whether they mean to or not), and a lot of times the best gifts are ones that show you not only took the time to listen to them, but also you took the time to think about who they are and get a gift to match their personality and interests. So, here are some great gifts for your lady friends that are less than $100 and sure to bring some smiles over the holidays.
