Gift Guide: The Flirt

Posted Saturday, November 25, 2006 at 06:10PM

She winks when she smiles, her pout is always glossed like glass, and you’ll never catch her out of stilettos, no matter how long her day or short her skirt.

She’s a flirt.

But she’s not all Trashy lingerie (though she digs it). Sometimes she’ll do casual, she’ll rock something like a -

Light pink babydoll from Victoria’s Secret. “I love that it’s a really light pink and doesn’t reveal too much. It’s playful and innocent and sometimes a little imagination is sexier than being brazen,” says Oh Sweet Heart.

You said it, sweet heart.

Want to gift your fav flirt more luxe? Indulge her in Coco-de-Mer luxury lingerie.  “This is the ultimate in sexy lingerie,” says Di Overton. “Coco de Mer is London based but will ship worldwide.”

Still, maybe you don’t want to gift your girl (space) friend lingerie, though - sizes can be a hassle. Check this Ginger Lingerie Bag by Spolyt, then. All red satin and a big black bow, it’s “a lingerie bag that’s as decadent and sexy as, well, lingerie,” says Saltimbanca.

Editions de Parfums vibes equally decadent, it’s “spicy and mysterious, but you won’t smell it everywhere,” says Heather Haber. “I am almost through my small bottle, and have a large one to use next. Note: Don’t wear it if you don’t want men hungrily sniffing your neck!”

 Ooh la love.  Thanks for the tip.

If your lady loves things attractive around her neck, sans potential drama, she could dig this Sephora Marie Antoinette necklace. “It’s an antique-inspired locket containing a completely useful glitter lip gloss,” says Stiletto Jungle. “Twist off the subtly shiny faux jewel top to reveal a pot of opalescent gloss. Once the gloss is gone, you can push out the gloss pan from the back of the locket and replace with a favorite picture or keepsake. Those Sephora people are so smart”

They sure are.  Just like your flirt of a girl, which is why she’d appreciate this large open heart necklace by Orly Baruch, a sharp, much “more modern take on the open heart pendant, with gold chain,” says Princess.

Not ready to gift her your heart?  Give her a kiss instead, a la this perfect stocking stuffer, this Power Kiss set. Limited-edition, the “Power Kiss is an adorable, pink mini lip gloss carrying case with a mirror and a vial of DuWop’s Pink Shimmer Lip Venom lip plumping gloss,” says Lipstick Powdern Paint. “If you have never tried Lip Venom - this spicy, tingly gloss enhances the natural color and shape of your lips by increasing circulation with a blend of essential oils including cinnamon and ginger.” 

Sounds fab, but maybe your flirt has enough lip gloss. Gift her practical, but far from preachy, with these “over-the-top diva gloves, these lengthly Coach gloves ,” says Bagbwana.
