She hasn’t been inside a mall for years.

She’ll head out of her way, blocks beyond Starbucks, to grab an organic soy chai latte at mom and pop’s coffee boutique.

She has little love for celebrity lines (though you’re sure you’ve seen her do double takes for House of Dereon).

Totally an independent woman.

So forget - really - gifting her a Starbucks gift certifcate.

Instead, email me for my PO box to take care of that card, and let’s shop indie for your girl.

A Me&Ro skull necklace may seem a bit off for a Christmas gift, but “there is something almost cartoony and comical about this piece,” says Shiny Squirrel. “It adds a little quirky twist to the normally punk rock skull and crossbones that have become popular. Me&Ro seemed to have some wonderfully offbeat jewelry that I would love to own.”

I’ll let Santa Claus know, doll.

Anything else you’d like me to tell that jolly joe?

“This Tam Aura Darby necklace is pretty bad ass,” says Shiny Squirrel. “I love the unexpected.”

Ooh la love, me, too. Like this grenade necklace?

“I just love all the new jewelry recently that fuses art with the unexpected,” says Shiny Squirrel. “I can’t get over how beautiful and delicate this little charm is.”

More importantly, she’ll “never leave home without a grenade again,” says R U Genius.

Perfect for your indie chick that secretly votes Republican.

And for your indie chick who’s a touch more girly than grrrly, check Red Room Style.com. “Unique, luminous and chic jewelry! The Red Room offers a deliciously lush collection to tempt the demure and daring alike,” says Kara Gingras. “The intense colors of finely faceted gems are enhanced by the elegance of rich gold and the dramatic edge of oxidized silver. Each piece is a subtle balance of striking and refined.”

Just like the layers of this Nutraj copper & rocks necklace. “I’m liking these layered necklaces,” says Vicarious Rising. “The colors and shapes of this one make it a stand out.”

You got it, love.

And it’s the clean, uncompromising shape of this rectangular Lorelei white python clutch handbag that makes it stand out. Elegant with its clean lines and bright white python, this snakeskin clutch purse is fresh and intelligent in its simplicity.

Same as these Etsy pewter snow bling bobby pins, though they vibe much more cheeky chic than hard elegance. Simple, unique they’re a “great stocking stuffer with sparkle,” says MF Crafts.

And if you’re not afraid to guess at your girl’s dress size - or know it - check this Sworn Virigins long lattice dress. “Co-founded by knitting mill owner Alex Amini and designer Roshanne Aghevli, Sworn Virgins emerged from their personal mission to create beautiful organic, eco-conscious fashion,” says Fabulously Green. “Not to mention the silhouettes happily suit many body types—draping in flattering ways without being overly clingy.”
