To buy a gift for a discerning woman requires careful forethought, creative inspiration, and empathy levels so high...you might just snag some bath soap for yourself! Since you have no hope of meeting that mark, get help from GiftGirl.

Launched by a "revered personal shopping expert", GG offers up gift ideas custom-tailored to specifically pierce your woman's acquisitive heart. Test drive the custom search engine by picking a reason for said gift and general price range, then supply stats on height, dress/shoe size, select from 10 different "types" (professional, free-spirit, adventuresome), and position 8 sliding "style" scales from conservative to funky, country to urban (but what to do if she's a fan of Cowboy Troy's "Hick Hop"?) All of GG's recs are no-pay-for-play editorial, so you're assured each result's legit as you click the purchase link on the likes of a culinary trip from HolidayGolightly, inexpensive, eco-friendly totes from Beau Soleil, or Cartier's Gold Panthere watch, which says "Yeah, I slept with her, but look...Gold! Panthere!"

If you're still not hitting the mark, $200'll get you a personal consult with the Revered herself, who'll walk you step by step through the process until you arrive at the perfectest gift -- so apropos, your girlfriend won't even mind that she can't get you out of your luxuriant bubble bath.
