Are you at a loss for what to get the ladies in your life for the holidays? Have you waited until the very last minute? Has your creativity fizzled away, leaving you with nothing under your tree but a few stray pine needles? Have you actually considered making a fruitcake?

Never fear! The Holiday Gift Giving Guide for Women is here!

If you're like me you'll know what to get the ladies closest to you for Christmas - in all likelihood, they will have just come right out and told you. My mom, for example, said she wants me to make her a new table cloth for the massive dining room table. Never mind that I can't sew!

But what do you get the other ladies in your life - your employee, your boss, the name you picked out of the Secret Santa hat? I have a few suggestions that are sure to be a hit, and will ensure that your gifts don't end up on the Top Ten Worst Gifts From Last Christmas list.

In need of a few stocking stuffers? Forget the crafty holiday knick knacks - the gals in my office are crazy about two things: herbal tea, and Post It Notes. Throw them in a gift bag with a little tissue, and you've got a gift that's both fun and practical.

Most ladies I know are crazy about organization. And I mean crazy! Satisfy her organizational OCD with a professional label maker. She'll have hours of fun labeling everything in sight, and with three fonts to choose from!

For the environmentally conscious ladies on your list, you could choose a handy desk organizer made from recycled plastic. Throw in a few of recycled canary yellow Post It pads, and you've got a green gift suitable for any earth loving lass.

For a lady who works on the go, choose a laptop bag that combines fashion with function. The Ladies Ballistic Nylon Computer Tote with Shoe Bag (yes, I said Shoe Bag!) is a sleek upgrade from traditional computer bags. Or, for something with more of a handbag feel, check out the Ladies Nylon/Croc Trim Computer Tote Black/Brown. Who isn't crazy about getting a new handbag, let alone one that fits her computer?

If all else fails, nothings says you care like flower. You could choose a lovely plant for the girl with a not-so-green thumb. The Purple Orchid with Mahogany Pot is practically maintenance free, aside from a little annual dusting.

After reading this gift guide, I feel confident that you have the ideas you need to make this holiday season your best gift giving one yet! And if not, you can always go ahead with that fruitcake!
