Great Gift Ideas for Your Favorite Galpals

When buying gifts, I love to buy things that the giftee would have trouble buying themselves, not financially, but more guilty-pleasure-type things. For instance, I know tons of moms and girlfriends who probably wouldn't go out of their way to buy a great pair of pajamas or a massage just for themselves.
