Are your girlfriends a GIFT? (Want to win one too?)

Our October Girlfriendology Contest was about special girlfriends and we received several really inspiring stories (including T and all those rubber stamps!). (Thanks to all of you!) Today is November 1, we're off on a New CONTEST and a new way to win prizes just for having thoughtful girlfriends - or being one yourself. Maybe you'll be able to take your girlfriend out for a Starbucks on Girlfriendology! So, drum roll please ...

NOVEMBER CONTEST: Has a girlfriend ever given you a really special gift? Or, have you had the opportunity or a great creative* idea to give your girlfriend something that she really, REALLY appreciated (and that you loved giving)?! Tell us about it! (*I'm really looking forward to the GREAT responses by all the crafty, creative women reading this!)

And what perfect timing for girlfriend gift ideas, right? The holidays are right around the corner and we all love ideas for making our friends feel as special as they make us feel. If you're one of the five top stories, you'll win a $10 gift certificate for Starbucks to take your girlfriend out for a coffee on Girlfriendology. Also, the top overall story wins a Girlfriendology Journal.

And, as you may know, the October Contest ended with a big BANG! Seal Press ("groundbreaking books by and for women!) generously provided five copies of Rosie Molinary's book, "Hijas Americanas: Beauty, Body Image and Growing Up Latina" (featured on our recent podcast) for the next five girlfriends to share a story on their girlfriends.

Another drum roll please! This months winners are:
