Holiday Gift Guide for Petites

By , About.com Guide

Whether you're looking for a gift for a petite woman, or you're a petite woman searching for items for your holiday wish list, a gift of fashion hits the right holiday note in 2010.

1. Trendy Holiday Gifts for Petite Women

Thinking about the winter holidays brings to mind cold weather and the need for warmth, so our gift list concentrates on fashion that will keep women comfy and cozy on cold winter days and on some fun fashion accessories to wear to holiday parties.

2. Evening Clutches

Just the touch any woman needs for a festive holiday party--an evening clutch. I like these in neutral colors because they'll go with anything, but if you're wearing a neutral dress, carrying a bright clutch is a good way to add a color pop to your outfit.

3. Petite Sweaters

Petite sweaters make great holiday gifts for short women. Not having to roll up sleeves and have a sweater that's too long is a huge plus because hemming a knit sweater just doesn't look right. Luxurious cashmere, soft silk, and breathable cotton sweaters are at the top of my list, all in fine weaves that can be layered on cold winter days.

4. Stocking Stuffers

Tuck a few fashionable small gifts into the Christmas stocking this holiday season. Fashion doesn't have to cost a fortune. See what's available for less than $10.
