Bulbs and buds are popping, it must be Spring!

What better way to celebrate this awesome season than with thoughtful, meaningful gifts for girlfriends? So, for her birthday or a just-because gift, here are 10 great ways to celebrate Spring and female friendship with these girlfriend gifts:

1. Cupcakes are totally ‘in’ and a trendy favorite for those of us with a sweet tooth. Give her one that lasts forever with this cute crystal Cupcake Pendant Necklace. It’s SO cute, she could just eat it! The adorable 1″ gold coated metallic cupcake covered in white chocolate frosting, and sparkling in multi-colored rhinestone “sprinkles” hangs on a 16″ long gold plated snake chain with a lobster clasp. Multiple colors of cupcakes and chains available, as are cupcake earrings and diamond cupcake pendants!

2. Is she a shoe girl? (Aren’t we all?) She might just love a pair of these Special Occasions Bling Pink Shoes. Then plan a #GNO (Girl’s Night Out) to wear these high heel dressy sandals. Special Occasions is known for making most of their shoes with dyeable satin or silk uppers and leather soles Special Occasion’s widest range of sizes runs from 5 medium (M) to 14 extra wide (WW). This is a dressy sandal from their Spring 2010 collection.

3. For all those “Earth Day Month” girlfriends (aka: April birthdays!), help her Go Green! Be a Girlfriend to Mother Earth with this eye-catching water bottle from SIGG. Made from a single piece of aluminum with an EcoCare BPA-free lining, it’s ultra-lightweight (yet rugged and crack-resistant). To minimize unwanted tastes and scents, the inside is lined with a water-based, non-toxic epoxy resin that exceeds FDA leaching requirements.

4.Spring is a great time to wish her a Happy, HEALTHY Birthday with a gift basket full of the “power-foods” important for achieving optimum female health. Delicious, healthy & gourmet, this is THE gift for the health-conscious woman in your life. Also a great gift idea to encourage healthier eating. The basket is artfully arranged to display the healthy, gourmet treats. Healthy Birthday for Her Includes: Dark Chocolate Bar (Endangered Species or Chocolove) Figamajigs Sunny Seed Drops Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds Dr. Lankin’s Awesome Almonds® Lesser Evil Flavored Popcorn Immaculate Baking Company All-Natural Cookies Dried Pears Green Tea Almondina Cookie Biscuits Snap Pea Crisps Cool Beans Zoe Bar Recommended Food Guide for Women’s Health Handmade Basket.

5. Friendship rings aren’t for kids – they’re for women who have been through ’stuff’ together and know they’ll continue to be there for each other no matter what. Make a statement wearing and giving this fabulous ‘friendship ring’ custom-made by She Beads(r) for Girlfriendology. She Beads is a well-known manufacturer (from girlfriend Sandy Rueve in Chicago IL) of fashion-forward jewelry. Sandy and her She Beads team LOVED the Girlfriendology orange gerbera daisy flower and decided to capture it forever in these hand-crafted beads. Exclusively designed for Girlfriendology, this ring/bead are durable and delightful. Make a statement by buying and giving (or keeping!) this great girlfriend gift. Comes in whole ring sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

6. For those girlie girl girlfriends, here’s a fragrant gift basket just for her. Romantic scented set includes soothing Tasmanian Lavender lotion, body scrub, bubble bath and soap petals. And, if lavender isn’t her thing – what about this White Tea & Verbena Luxury Body Bath Spa Pamper Basket? Or, who might love this green tea and peppermint scent of this lotion, gel and bubble bath set cleanses your spirit and leaves you as refreshed as a day at the beach?

7. A think of beauty is a joy forever, right? You know the girlfriend who loves beautiful things and this
Tree of Enchantment Ornamental Glass would be perfect for her. Simply enchanting to behold, this hand-blown glass orb features an interior glass tree trunk and branches to support the translucent tree’s leaves represented on the globe’s exterior. Like trees in a forest, no two globes are the same. Each globe is fashioned to be a symbol of growth and strength unique to its owner. When hung in outdoor light or in a window, the glass globe comes to life with vibrant color and beauty. The globes are designed by world famous artist, Stephan Kitras, and make a lovely gift for the art collector or nature lover. This girlfriend gift keeps it Spring all year round for your favorite female friend(s).

8. Fragrance is one of best reminders of wonderful memories and friendships. So, why not remind a friend of your friendship with some special scents. Like Girlfriendology Scent #2: Celebration: Slightly out of the norm, this combination of lime, grey musk, sage, damask rose, a hint of coriander and mint blend to create a fragrance that’s a unique celebration for the senses. Add a touch of champagne and a hint of confetti, and make it a celebration truly worth noting. This is a genuine, refreshing scent that fully encompasses every reason she has to rejoice; it’s the perfect fragrance for any and every celebration! All Girlfriendology perfumes are produced in Cincinnati, OH (by our girlfriend Fabienne of Possets Perfumes!). They contain perfume and vegetables and come in a 5ml bottle generously filled to 6ml. Packaged in hand-stamped, decorated muslin gift bags, they make perfect girlfriend gifts, stocking stuffers, birthday gifts, wedding favors, party gifts and more!
