As we kick off December, I thought you'd enjoy some gift suggestions to jump-start your holiday shopping. Today, I'll start with some beauty goodies for the ladies with some great gift ideas for your friends, bridesmaids, sisters, mother, future mother-in-law, and all the other women in your life. Check back for gift ideas for brides, guys and couples.

For the on-the-go girl:

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant ($53) - Highly recommened by the ladies on The Knot's NYC message board and Weddingbee, Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant is a rice-based power you mix with water. This ultra-fine exfoliant will leave your skin super-smooth and refreshed. Great for traveling, just toss some in a ziploc bag and you won't have to worry about security rules or spillage.

For the girl who stays out late (you know who you are):

LUSH Ibiza Party Shampoo ($17-$26) - Formulated for late nights out clubbing (with citrus and pimento berry), this is a great gift for the late-night owl.
