When December rolls around and Christmas decorations start to line the city streets it’s obvious the holidays are just a hop, skip and jump away. If you’re not sure what gift to buy those special women in your life, some of the Island’s stores have offered up their suggestions for the season’s top sellers.For the woman who likes to be pampered:The Body Shop’s top holiday sellers are usually cranberry, white musk libertine and Japanese cherry blossom. Sales assistant, Chelsae Talford said: “Along with our Christmas line, we have the cranberry that is doing well. It smells very sweet and is quite feminine. For the cranberry it’s mostly the shower gels and bubble balls.“With the libertine a lot of people seem to like the lotions because they are very light. With the cherry blossom it’s the body mist that is popular right now because you catch the scent.” Items range from $13.95 to $39.For the woman who likes to cook up a storm:Karen Ingham, the sales manager at Masters, recommended the Rachael Ray pots and bake ware for the women in your life. The durable, non-stick cookware come in citrus-hues like yellow, lime green and orange. “We also have scented candles and plenty of diffusers and potpourri. These are all the scented things I think they would like. We also have electric blankets and bed warmers,” she said.For the fashionista in your life:At Gibbons department store, there are hot items from 100 percent cashmere sweater sets in a variety of jewel tones, costing $69 got the tank and $119 for the cardigan. CEO Paula Clarke predicts accessories from Max Azria BCBG and Mango, Monet pearls and a large collection of scarves (for about $21) will be all the rage this holiday season.Ms Clarke said the store was also stocked with a collection of cocktail dresses for the festive season that allowed women to go “from desk to dinner”. They also have shoes from brand names like Nine West, Anne Kline and Bandolino.
