Whether you're a petite woman making your own holiday wish list or you're searching for holiday gifts for the petite woman in your life, there's a trendy holiday fashion gift in your future.

1. Argyle Cashmere Sweater

This long-sleeved cashmere sweater gives petites a sporty look while enhancing a long, lean look with the argyle pattern and the V-neckline. Cashmere's a natural for holiday gift giving because it's soft and luxurious.

2. Metallic Snakeskin Clutch

Two trends in one--metallic and snakeskin--make this evening clutch a winner for the holidays and beyond. At 5" x 11". it's a good size for petites who can look off-balance when carrying very long or oversized clutches. This snake-embossed leather clutch sparkles in metallic silver and features pleating on both sides.

3. Leather Gloves

For keeping the winter chill at bay, stylish leather gloves are particularly appropriate for winter holiday giving. These imported gloves from Nordstrom are available in five different colors and come in sizes 6 through 9. Because petites tend to have small hands, most petites would take a 6 or 6.5 in gloves.

4. Bow Earrings

From Juicy Couture, these silvertone bow earrings feature glitzy rhinestones in the center. Bows are in style right now, and stud earrings remain one of the top styles of earrings for short women.

6. Fleece Robe

In baby blue or feminine pink, this fleece robe would be ideal for lounging around the house. This robe from Macy's is available in sizes extra-small through large, and because it's not sized for petites, it will be a little longer on short women. Roll up the sleeves and curl up with a good book by a roaring fire on cold winter days.

7. Newsboy Hat
