This one’s for the girls

Mums, sisters, grandmas and girlfriends – we’ve rounded up our pick of the perfect presents for the ladies in your life.

Sisterly love
We swoon over most things Liberty and these charming bangles ($28) from Pomp & Ceremony are no exception. www.pompandceremony.ca

Not your granny's slippers
For the chicest of hostesses, here’s a pair of posh, velvet slippers ($168) she can entertain in. I snapped up the ruby red (for myself, oops) but they come in bottle green, black and a cheetah print too. Cole Haan, 101 Bloor St. W., Toronto, 416-926-7575, www.colehaan.com

Besties for ever
Who doesn’t love a starry print? From long-running Canadian label Mercy, this tunic style shirt  ($268, there’s a dress version too) will put the twinkle in some lucky lady’s eye. 913 Queen St. W., 416-546-7480, www.gaspardshop.com

Mom's the word
Anthropologie always take the prize for most original tree decs (from $14) The Missoni-inspired baubles ($28)  are a favourite of mine and this angelita ornament ($20) is just darling, isn’t it? Anthropologie, 80 Yorkville Ave., Toronto, 416-964-9700, www.anthropologie.com

All the pretty girls
The beauty crowd is raving about NARS Arabian Nights ($55).  For a smokey look with a cosmic twist, these dark and sparkly jewel-tones are a welcome respite from basic, flat black kohls. NARS counter at Holt Renfrew, 50 Bloor St. W., Toronto, www.holtrenfrew.com —Athena Tsavliris
