For the Girl Who has Everything

Chances are you have at least one person on your list that has everything. My suggestion is to skip racking your brain and wandering the mall aimlessly and just pick up a copy of the Crave Seattle book "The Urban Girl's Manifesto". This year they published their 3rd Edition and as an avid reader I can tell you, it's their best yet.

The book is a complete insiders guide to all of Seattle's best shopping destinations, spas, salons and more. You'll find interviews with Colette Courtion from Calidora (pg. 38) as she talkes about how she spends her free time and what the most popular treatments her customers ask for. You'll find an interview with Clutch store owner Kimberly Arrington (pg. 52) and discover why she is absolutely obsessed with handbags , and you'll read about Giovanna Duque and what mistakes she made when opening Duque Salon and Spa in Ballard.
