Holiday Gift Guide 2012: Great Design Gifts For Her
To help take the pressure out of your gift-buying decisions, California Home+Design is playing Santa's little helper and hooking you up with a designer's gift guide every Friday until the holidays are on top of you like a hastily fallen pine tree. We've already featured What to Buy For the Outdoor Lover in addition to last week's What To Buy For Holiday Parties, so now we're bringing you a selection of great gifts for her (check back next week for the great gifts for men).

For a holiday decoration that glows with life, San Francisco's Flora Grubb created the gold leaf cup ornament filled with living tillandsia plants. Available in gold or silver, from $54 for a set of three.

Girls who get geeky about geometry will love the strong shape of this hand-hammered brass and turquoise Zuma necklace, $154, from Oakland's Marisa Haskel.



For minimalist style with textural interest, pick up this charming anemone bowl, $225 from Bespoke Global.

San Francisco natives will love this mod graphic poster of the city skyline. $30, from Zinc Details.

The mystery of these shapely stems is perfect for adding interest to any room. Unlike the real thing however, these bronze legs will improve over time as they develop a rich patina, $1,495 from Kelly Wearstler.

There are so many reasons to shop at designer Jay Jeffers' retail outpost in San Francisco, not least of which is the shimmering collection of acrylic accessories by Alexandra von Furstenburg. Lotus bowl, $1,200 from Cavalier by Jay Jeffers.

Celeb stalkers and LA-o-philes alike will appreciate this limited edition photograph of Chateau Marmont by Gia Coppola. $200 for the unframed image, from The Tappan Collective.

More gold—are you sensing a theme? The animal kingdom gets a truly royal treatment in the form of golden porcelain figurines. From $45 each, Empiric Studio.

East Bay Pride! Gorgeous indigo scarves (such as this half-dip scarf, $68) and totes are handmade by Oakland's Job & Boss.

Everyone deserves a relaxing cup of tea during the holiday craziness. Pick up this limited edition pot from Crate&Barrel (in celebration of the brand's 50th anniversary) by artist Janine Rewell during the month of December, $200.
