Plus Size Holiday Shopping Guide 2008
Looking for the perfect gift for the 'plus size' woman in your life? I've put together a few suggestions for you here.
Under $30...
Here's a great gift from Coldwater Creek for just $29.95 each when you buy 2 or more. A shawl doesn't require precise sizing, so you don't have to worry about choosing the correct size. The generous 53 inch by 42 inch dimensions make this a pretty safe bet for anyone in the 1X - 3X size range. Coldwater Creek carries most of their line in sizes 1X - 3X, so if you're looking for something else, this is still a good place to shop.
Under $50...
Chicos.com is not a 'plus size' retailer, but I like their jewelry because their necklaces are really unique and most come with chain extenders to adjust the fit. This 'Foya' necklace sells for $48.00, and is adjustable from 16 to 20 inches. I love giving friends and my mom jewelry from Chicos.com because they have designs you won't see anywhere else, and it's something that I know they won't splurge on for themselves.
Under $100...
This cashmere sweater from Landsend.com makes a great gift because cashmere is a luxury that many women will not buy for themselves. This one comes in 18 beautiful colors and is available in sizes 1X - 3X. The fit is natural, meaning it neither hugs the body nor is too loose.
Happy shopping, and be sure to let us know about the great gift ideas that you find out there.

Chic Plus Size Cashmere Sweater by Charter Club
A nice cashmere sweater can be a great piece to dress up a basic skirt or trousers around the holidays. This shawl collar cashmere sweater is beautiful and comes in a warm, bright red and a cool winter ivory. Right now at Macys.com, you can get this sweater for 30% off. There's also an 'extra savings' event going on until 11/16/2008, and even though the page says this item qualifies, when you look at the fine print, Charter Club cashmere is excluded. That said, I bet you could find some things you like that do qualify, and I still think that this sweater is a good deal for cashmere. Available in 4 colors in sizes 1X - 3X.

INC Plus Size Babydoll Sweater at Macys
I like the short sleeved sweater trend this year and this cabled babydoll sweater is a cute example.
