Since that’s not something you can really gift, I put together some items that can support any superbly single girl in her ongoing quest to become her best self. Read on for gifts for making 2015 your best year yet. Plus don’t miss an exclusive offer for our readers to activewear line Gwenyth!

    National Cupcake Day + Sprinkles GIVEAWAY!

    Our leading ladies share their favorite cupcakes, plus a chance to win a $20 Sprinkles giftcard!

    My sisters and I baked cupcakes regularly together growing up (never mind that they were generally of the boxed variety). My affinity for cupcakes meant endless gifts of cupcake-icon gifts: a belt, a tank top, luggage tag, rain boots, and not one but two cupcake deliveries for my birthday last year. Needless to say, when Sprinkles opened its doors I jumped on that cupcake bakery bandwagon real quick. It was one of the first stops on my list to visit when I moved to Los Angeles, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Sprinkles put cupcakes on the map, and many have followed to continue the movement of one of the best baked inventions.

    To celebrate National Cupcake Day, read on to find out where our leading ladies across the country turn to curb their cupcake appetite… plus don’t miss your chance to win one of three $20 giftcards to Sprinkles!

    Wishlist

    I can hardly believe how quickly Christmas is approaching. Just this Monday, I celebrated my birthday, which for me, officially signals the start of the holiday season. Naturally, this also set me in motion to create my yearly wishlist. Though we all know the season is about giving, there’s no need to exclude yourself from the mix.

    To make shopping season even better, Allisa Jacobs is gifting one of her super adorable clutches to one lucky Single Diaries reader. All you have to do is follow us on Twitter and Allisa on Pinterest.

    Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for yourself or for a girlfriend, I think you’ll find something you love on my wishlist.

    It’s raining, it’s pouring… I didn’t realize until a couple weeks ago when the first rain of the season hit San Francisco just how much I love rainstorms. With cold air and longer nights, it’s the perfect weather for curling up with a good book. This season’s picks are a little deeper, a bit more emotional but, like my fall picks, will probably strike a chord. Brew your hot beverage of choice (I go with hot cocoa or apple cider), switch on your holiday lights, snuggle with your most-loved blanket, and get ready to revel in some reading.
