You know that girlfriend you have, the one who doesn't have a significant other and is always getting sh*t for it? She might be single and ready to mingle, or maybe she's unattached and very, very happy about it. She's probably spent a good chunk of her annual salary on bridesmaid's dresses, bachelorette parties, and items from wedding and baby registries that she never knew people were allowed to ask for - and she's had to field questions from nosy relatives and well-meaning strangers about her relationship status all year, too.
Instead of trying to set her up with your coworker's brother's dry cleaner's best friend or telling her she'll find love when she least expects it, just get her a really great gift for the holidays. After all, you love her tons and think she deserves the world, but she also deserves something extra special.
