Wouldn't it be nice if Santa's helpers were around for you, too? Well hold on there, Grinch, because it turns out there's an easy solution to holiday shopping that will put those elves and their wooden trinkets to shame. Check out our jewelry suggestions below for a comprehensive gift list for all the women – naughty or nice – on your list this year.
Mom – Gemstone Charm Bracelet
For Mommy Dearest we've selected a classic style with a modern edge. Pick a straightforward color combo to match any outfit. The slight jangle will remind her of you when she wears it; and the reflection of today's trends will provide an additional gift of youth (for free).
Sis – Cascading Tassel Earrings
When it comes to sisters, we know the best gift is something you'll want to borrow. These trendy, elegant earrings will add a little pizzaz to any weekend outfit, conservative holiday suit or cocktail dress. We suggest gold or bronze, in keeping with seasonal colors, but sterling silver works too.
Friend – Gemstone Lariat Necklace
It's up to friends to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, and that includes buying fun, beautiful jewelry you've only seen on celebrities so far. The Lariat necklace, which has no clasp and can therefore be worn in a number of different styles, is a feminine, trendy way to glam up her favorite drop-neck number. Pick one with her birthstone and your job is practically done for you. Check out this guide explaining what a lariat is and how to wear one.
Daughter – Pearl Necklace
These days, pearls don't have to be worn with a polo shirt and poodle skirt, though we're sure you'd like to see her dress so conservatively. Show your little girl how hip you are by selecting from any number of freshwater, pink, keishi or coin pearl necklaces. We guarantee that though they may look different than grandma's, these styles are still the epitome of innocence. Click here to see keishi pearls.
Wife – Labrodite Ring
No matter how many years it's been since you put that first ring on her finger, we promise she'll appreciate the chance to decorate another knuckle. A wrap-around style ring like this one is a fun alternative to a standard band, and is much more "now," so to speak.
Girlfriend – Birthstone Cuff Bracelet
Show her how much you care by doing a little research (not much, we promise!) before purchasing your gift this year. Cuff bracelets can be made with any gemstone, so go online and figure out which stone correlates with her birth month and make your decision that way. While you're at it, print out the research you find on the history of the stone. She'll be touched by the sentimentality, not to mention the effort.

What is the difference between an engagement band & an engagement ring?
Thre are a few questions in here I need answers to thanks
By: voterperson | 04-08-2008
QUESTION One: Would you care if your mother, sister, any family member did not like where you shop for clothes or criticized where you shopped for clothes?
QUESTION TWO: Would you be wondering if they were laughing at you when you wear your clothes? Give details.
QUESTION THREE: How would you handle it if someone did not like where you shop for clothes or criticized where you shopped for clothes?
QUESTION FOUR: Do you agree with Roberta that it should not matter what other people think?
GIVE DETAILS:
Here is why I asking. Tonight Stacy and her mom went to her sister?s, brother-in-law?s house (and two nephews) for dinner.
Roberta: ?Where did you buy that blouse. At the 99 cent store?
Stacy: ?Yes?
Stacy thought that was the end of the conversation. But right after Stacy cleaned up the dinner dishes (to help her sister) and came back out to the dining room the following conversation took place.
Roberta: ?Why do you want to buy clothes at the 99 cent store. I mean you are not poor?
This got Stacy mad and she lashed out at her sister and her mom.
Roberta: ?I am not attacking you I am just curious.?
Stacy: ?But I like the clothes there. I don?t get the crappy ones and I get a lot of compliments?
Roberta: ?But you don?t know who wore them before - they are used. I can see buying jewelry there, paper towels, purses?
Stacy: ?I don?t care if someone else wore them I like them. And the ones I buy you cannot tell that they were someone else?s. And I rather buy them there then go to a department store and spend $28?
Mom: ?Stacy has tons of clothes from the 99 cent store?
Roberta: ?Stop yelling. So you are saying you rather have quality then quantity?
Stacy: ?I only get the quality? Stacy was getting madder by the minute
Roberta: ?Stop yelling. I am not putting it down I am just curious. I was just asking. All you had to say was the following ?I like them and I prefer to shop at the 99 cent store? instead of going into major explanations?
Then they had a nice discussion. Roberta told Stacy that it really should not matter what other people think. That even though their mom and Roberta feel that they would never buy in the 99 cent store that doesn?t mean that Stacy should stop. And that even though Roberta does not like Macy?s there are people who shop in Macy?s that doesn?t meant these people are wrong for shopping at Macy?s. The same thing with the 99 cent store. That there are people who shop at the 99 cent store and like it. Roberta also said that if Stacy went to Sephora?s with Roberta and Roberta purchased a lot of lipstick Stacy would think that Roberta is crazy. But Roberta would not care because Roberta likes makeup. And also that their mom says plenty of things to Roberta but Roberta ignores their mom. because she does not care what the mom says.
Also Roberta told Stacy that Stacy always dresses nicely and Stacy likes clothes. When Stacy asked do you like this blouse. Her sister did say it was pretty but that is not the point, that Roberta is sure that Roberta has worn things that Stacy did not like, Stacy replied true" so it really is not important if Roberta likes it or not.
Stacy did tell her sister that her mom is a hypocrite because her mother accepted four blouses that Stacy purchased at the 99 cent store and her mom has come with her to the 99 cent store to look at the clothes. Her mother got defensive and said ?I only wore one of the blouses you purchased, it had a ticket on it, and I never purchased anything there?
