From your bestie to your mom, it's never easy finding gifts for the women in our lives. We know as well as the next gal that we're hard to shop for! So, we went ahead and picked out what we think are some pretty sweet gifts for every lady on your list.

Created by Ana Karolina, a 19-year-old Mexican-born designer who made her debut at Nordstrom at the ripe old age of 17, this silver-plated chain bracelet makes skulls and bugs look oh-so cool! $114 at Ana Karolina.

One Year of White Pages

If you have a pal whose purse is swimming in loose Post-Its and a half-dozen half-filled notepads, this nifty organizational system may be the perfect antidote. The clever set of blank booklets is designed to be used one per month (there's a studded perforation on the cover denoting which month) for sketching ideas, writing lists, and taking notes. It's all they'll need for the year. $40 at Canoe.

Hand-Embroidered State Pillow Courtesy of UncommonGoods Hand-Embroidered State Pillow You've probably seen one of these at a cute little boutique while on vacation in a state that you don't have a personal affinity for. Well, now you can have your choice from all 50 of them! Celebrate her favorite state — whether it's where she's from, where she lives, or where she dreams of visiting — with one of these lively pillows that includes the state's name and outline along with its most famous cities and sites. It's an heirloom in the making! $149

Public Urban Cruiser Bicycle

If you love a breezy bike ride but have no one to join you, this will get just about anyone excited about taking to two wheels. The Dutch-style 3-speed bike has all that old-school aesthetic (also known as modern-day hipster) charm but with the components of a modern ride. From ergonomic handlebars to city-smart tires, it's perfect for urban riding. We love them all but are partial to the C3 for its step-thru frame (perfect for the gal who won't sacrifice wearing skirts on her commute) and top-of-the-line internal hub. $650 at Public Bikes.

Personal Library Kit Courtesy of Knock Knock Personal Library Kit The most generous reader on your list — or perhaps the host of your monthly book club — definitely deserves this DIY librarian-in-a-box. By reviving some old-fashioned (some, even nostalgic!) library circulation techniques, your pal will never worry about lending a book only to never see it returned. $14 to $16.

The Celebrity Fragrance Collection

For your celeb-obsessed pal who pays attention to Fashion Week only when it's a runway show designed by Gwen Stefani or when Kim Kardashian is sitting front row, this limited-edition set might even be better than a lifetime subscription to Us Weekly. With one-ounce bottles from more than 20 top fragrances — we're talking multiple Mariah Carey perfumes, some Paris Hilton scents, and of course a chic Harajuku Lovers bottle — she'll be smelling like a star for years to come. $500 at Perfumania.

Baked by Melissa Mini Cupcakes Courtesy of Baked by Melissa Baked by Melissa "In Chocolate" Mini Cupcakes Women love chocolate. It's a stereotype, but it's true. That's why we are so happy that Baked by Melissa — the cult bakery that started the whole mini-cupcake craze — is now dipping pretty-much-amazing-on-its-own cupcakes in delectable dark chocolate. The set includes the store's eight most popular flavors, from Tie-Dye to Red Velvet to Peanut Butter & Jelly to Chocolate Chip Pancake. $25 at Baked by Melissa.

Mother Nestling Birds Necklace Courtesy of UncommonGoods

Mother Nestling Birds Necklace

Family is everything, so why not give your mom a piece of jewelry that really symbolizes that. Perfect for parents of one child up to four (any more than that, and you may just need to splurge for two charms!), the darling birds on this handmade recycled sterling silver necklace will perch happily on her collar bone. Even better: Give it to all the moms in your life — aunts and grandmas, too! $70 to $79.

Studio Essential Art Set Courtesy of Restoration Hardware Studio Essential Art Set Inspire your friend who's always begging to host an arts and crafts night with a gift that will lead to her next great masterpiece. The set has colored pencils, oil pastels, watercolor and acrylic paints, brushes and even one of those real-deal wooden palettes, all tucked neatly in an elmwood carrying case with folding easel. $149 at Restoration Hardware.

Kiehl's Creme de Corps Collection

There's not a lady out there who won't swoon over this batch of products perfect for nourishing skin. The Creme de Corps line — which includes creams and polishes to balms and even a powerful line-reducing concentrate — is rich in all-day hydration that is well-timed with winter's skin-drying weather. $59.

Leather Jewelry Box Courtesy of Red Envelope Leather Jewelry Box For some, jewelry is too personal a gift. So, simplify things by offering her a place to store all the great accessories she's already got. This beautiful Tiffany blue box even includes a removable travel case, which is perfect for the gal on the go. $130 at Red Envelope.

Chanel Prestige Sunglasses Courtesy of Chanel

Chanel Prestige Sunglasses

If an iconic Chanel handbag is too pie-in-the-sky, these chic shades from the fashion label's special winter collection are a great substitute. Designed to look precious, Karl Lagerfeld turned his attention to one of the brand's most recurrent emblems: the chain. This pair of cat-eye glasses has interwoven chain and leather temples to set it apart. $600 at ILORI Style stores.
