Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Girlfriend
1) Custom Map Coasters with Stand

Custom map coasters crafted from marble keep the memory of a special place—a first home, stand-out vacation, or wedding—close to you. Turkish marble is tumbled to make it one-of-a-kind, and a location from anywhere in the United States and the nine square mile-surrounding area are featured on the map. A compass rose will mark the exact spot and the map’s legend can be customized, too. Cast iron holder included. Made in Rhode Island.
2) TanMeBox Self Tanning Kit

Treat skin to a natural self-tanner packed with skin-pleasing organic ingredients. DHA from sugar beets and sugar cane provides the color in the Made in the USA gel by reacting to your skin's natural pigmentation—so no orange-ness here, and no streaks thanks to the brush-on application. Once you get the just-right tan, apply the shimmer bronzer and bronzing spray daily to enhance that natural (and natural-looking) glow.
3) Copper Moscow Mule Mug

Sertodo Copper: Copper Moscow Mule Mug - Set of Four
4) Sleepybo Sleeping Pillow

Sweet dreams with a Sleepybo sleeping pillow that might look standard but feels amazing. It’s made with Yogibo’s signature near-frictionless microbeads that conform to your body and support any sleep position. Each side of the pillow provides different firmness and temperature, and it’s wrapped in a super-soft cover.
5) Mountain Winter Hooded Scarf

The Mountain Winter Hooded Scarf is swiftly designed to fit over a helmet with two adjustable cords that connect to the face panel and the hood. Wear it while you're on the slopes or on a frigid day off the mountain, it's a perfect fit for all of your outdoor adventures.
