Damnit, I like presents, too.

Excuse the Carrie Bradshaw moment but I started thinking recently about the gifts for the single woman. See, there are a lot of really great things about the adventure of being single, but one of the things you miss out on is registering for all of the sweet things you want and having someone else foot the bill for your champagne taste. So the following is the list of things I think every single woman needs.

1. A really great dinner. Complete with dessert and all the tools with which to prepare it. Let me save you some time, the cuteness of being the girl who can’t boil water WILL wear off. Be able to make a great meal for yourself, your friends, and maybe even a lucky man.

2. Enough books to read, movies to watch, food to eat, and tequila or wine to drink for the weekend blizzard that I PROMISE is around the corner. I have yet to see a winter that didn’t include a snowed in weekend. Don’t be caught alone without the essentials.

3. Condoms.

4. An Ipod for dancing it out. Some ailments have no other cure.

5. A really great friend who will take you vibrator shopping.

6. A toolkit. Look, I don’t care if you call the tools the right thing or even use them correctly. There is power in being able to fix something yourself.

7. Lingerie that makes you feel like the woman he thinks you already are.

8. Someone to go on vacation with.

9. Something to work on. You aren’t done. Learn something, be someone worth finding.


10. A friend in the same boat. The older you get the harder it is to find someone going through the same things. When you do, hold on to her. You will need a friend who gets it.
