(This is cross-posted on BlogHer and was written by request, as part of their holiday series gift-guide.)

Single women aren’t always an easy group to buy for — we’re a wide range of ages, tastes, and personalities. Luckily, there are a lot of good ideas to be found out there.

FYI: Maybe this is just me, but I already have a collection of good-smelling lotions in a variety of scents. Although this may seem like a nice, easy gift to pick up for a single woman, I also think it’s boring. If a girl is in need of some smelly lotion, most likely she’ll have gone out in advance of the holiday to pick it up for herself. However, the other quick-and-easy standby — giftcards — are always appreciated, as long as it’s a store you know she likes, or one where you can buy a variety of items (like Target, for instance).

In random order:

1. Blix wall decals ($25-$45): This is an easy way to change the look of a room without a huge price tag, and with hardly any effort. Just stick these decals on your walls for an instant transformation. There are a wide variety of options, but I like the decals that are re-stickable. Take them off; put them somewhere else. They’re available in daisies, dots, and polynesian print. (They also have gift certificates available, if you want the recipient to be able to choose which one they want, and in what colors.)

2. Wall Gallery Frame Set ($68): I think this looks great (and there’s also the $88 deluxe version available). As with the wall decals, when the frame set is already together like this, you don’t have to worry about hanging and spacing things yourself.

3. Photo products from Qoop ($3.99-$29.99): Calendars, photobooks, greeting cards, posters, stickers, luggage tags, mousepads, and more — made quickly and easily from photos linked directly from your Flickr account. I had a calendar made for my dad a few years ago, made up of photos I’d taken when I spent a semester abroad in Europe, and he loved it.

4. Gift subscription to Blockbuster Online ($9.99-$107.94): There are a lot of options, depending on the plan you choose (whether it’s 1, 2, or 3 DVDs that can be checked out at a time), and the duration (1, 3, or 6 months). I like Blockbuster’s service because you can take the movies back to the store, rather than mailing them in, and receive another free movie immediately as a trade-in.

5. Pop Art Toaster ($12.50-$34.99, depending on the number of design plates): This toaster will make smiley faces, hearts, snowflakes, and flower designs on your toast, among other options. I found this via Janet from Slice of Pink, who has put together several gift guides so far this year. This toaster was actually found on one of her first lists, which was “Things that seem cool in theory, but which will probably turn out to be a huge pain in the ass after about one week.” But I disagree with her on this particular pain-in-the-ass pick, which is why I’m putting it on my gift-suggestion list. (Just make sure the recipient likes toast, otherwise it’ll probably sit unused in a cabinet somewhere.)

6. Lobz Audio Ear Warmers ($21): I first saw these ear warmer/headphones on Fit Sugar a few weeks ago, and since then I’ve seen them on a number of other sites as well. I think they’re a great gift idea for someone who spends a lot of time outside in chilly weather, and wants to listen to music at the same time.

7. Pinocchio tape measure ($5.95): Pull Pinocchio’s nose to get a measure up to 60 inches. I think this is adorable, and just one example of the relatively inexpensive gifts and household items you can find at CB2.

8. Threadless t-shirts ($10.00, through 12/16): There’s such a huge variety of t-shirts to choose from on this site, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find one you like. Derby of the Damned, for instance.

9. Leather business card holder ($34): I have business cards, but I’ve never taken them out of the box. I don’t have a need to give them out myself, but if you do…why not have something pretty to put them in? You can find these and a ton of other cool gift/office/misc items at See Jane Work.

10. Self-Portrait Camera Extension Arm ($39.95): This is a great gift for the girl (you know who she is) who likes to take self-portraits. She can use this extension arm to take shots farther away than just arm’s length, and it’s less likely that her arm will show up in the photo. Of course she could always use the camera’s self-timer, but those can be difficult to frame. [Source: OhMyThat'sAwesome]
