The Korean girlfriend gift guide

Visiting Supernormal, Cheongdam-dong boutique located right off the main "luxury street" is like entering a young, very rich, very stylish celebrity's walk-in closet. 

Fashionably daring Korean celebs such as 2NE1, Choi Ji-woo and Lee Hyori frequent the relatively small store to stock up on the latest in interesting fashion, while Japanese travelers also descend in small groups on the weekends. 

Carrying a rotating selection of brands that range from Rag & Bone and Alexander McQueen MCQ to Mother of Pearl, the playful fashion line developed by Damien Hirst's wife Maia Norman, Supernormal is also the only place other than Shilla Hotel to carry lines from the crystal-studded minaudière designer Judith Leiber. 

Since anything in the shop has already been through extremely fashion-conscious screening, we consulted the Supernormal experts about putting together a fabulous girlfriend gift guide. Here are 10 unique gifts for the impossible-to-please, impeccably stylish ladies out there. 

This should ensure a few nag-free months.

Devi Kroell python hobo bag 

There's something about python that makes a girl feel sexy and just a little bit daring. 

This sleekly minimalist python hobo bag is representative of the New York designer Devi Kroell's CFDA award-winning designs, and achieved pop cool status when Rihanna was snapped with the silver version on her arm. 

Around ₩4.5 million. 

Miss Havisham meets Henri Bendel.

Hidy NG pearl and feather hairband

The queen of hairbands Blair Waldorf herself would probably wait in line for this delicate feathery headpiece.

Created by a Hong Kong designer, this luxe black hairband adds a ladylike accent for the girlish romantic. 

Also comes with matching gloves. 

Around ₩300,000.

These pink spangle sneakers scream "run away with me."

Converse All Star Premium Line sequined sneakers 

Nevermind the Korean superstition about never gifting shoes to a lover (they'll supposedly wear them to run away from you) -- these pink spangled sneakers add serious sparkle to any outfit and adds flair to the casual. 

"When we visited Paris to make our 2012 Spring/Summer orders, our Parisian colleagues couldn't stop talking about how much they loved the sneakers," says Hun, Supernormal's merchandising director.  

These limited edition sneakers are part of the Converse's Premium Line and are only sold at select Converse flagship stores and at Supernormal.  

In the ₩100,000 range. 

Mad et Len scented lava rocks  

To go with your lava lamp.

Playing around with this unusual potpourri gift is a bit like a fragrant chemistry experiment. 

Drop scented oils unto darkly beautiful lava rocks for a subtle, lovely smell that lasts for weeks.

The uniqueness makes it a great gift for a perfect hostess who is always looking for unusual items to decorate her home. 

Along with the brushed metal tin and and the French apothecary-like lettering, the diverse array of perfumed oils allows for this to be a unisex gift as you can choose more "masculine smells". 

Around ₩150,000.

These would be only be more awesome if they were slap-on.

Solleciti Mink cuffs 

"These are for women who like mink, but find whole coats or vests made out of it to be too much," says Hun. 

Made by Solleciti, a line of Italian furrier Givuesse, these mink cuffs are playful wrist accents for ladies who like mink but find coats or vests to be too much of a good thing. 

Wide and narrow versions are available, with the former in the ₩500,000 range and the latter around ₩400,000.

A matching scarf will provide a final velvety touch. 

Judith Leiber pillboxes

These would also make our holiday gift list for our dolls, if we had any.

The brilliantly bejeweled clutches and evening bags by Hungarian designer Judith Leiber have been red-carpet musts for celebrities and first ladies for decades.

These adorable pillboxes are miniature versions of the high-end minaudières. While they are still expensive, they cost significantly less than their larger counterparts. 

For those who are thinking of ways to make a proposal even more memorable: "They would make for a wonderful ring box," says Hun. 

Available in heart or puppy designs. 

₩400,000.

We won't judge you (too much) if you decide to gift these for a "couple look."

 Ter et Bantine tote bag 

"Men also really like this bag, so you can buy one for yourself while shopping for a female friend," says Hun.

Although "couple looks" usually make us cringe, we understand why this minimalist bag made of soft lambskin would have unisex appeal.

"We ordered two versions for 2011 Fall/Winter and they've been very popular with fashion columnists as well as our customers," says Hun.

The tote bags come in two different versions of black. 

Around ₩1.5 million.

Miriam Sarat lionhead bracelet 

Gift for a Leo.

It's rare to find an accessory so versatile it goes well with a punk rock vibe as well as a feminine cocktail look. 

This statement cuff, made of sterling silver and ivory resin and studded with hundreds of cubic zirconias, is one of the standout pieces from the Miriam Salat 2011 Fall/Winter collection and brings the sophisticated bling factor to any outfit. 

"This is a lower-end line of Bochic (fine jewelry worn by the likes of Michelle Obama, Angelina Jolie and Beyoncé), so it's a great way to get beautiful accessories at a less expensive price," says Sung.

Hun laughs when we say ₩2.5 million isn't quite our idea of "less expensive." 

"You just happened to pick the most expensive piece in the collection," he says. 

Shiro yellow crocodile briefcase

A very expensive way of saying good luck.

For the savvy career woman who loves luxury, style and statement pieces you can take to work, this crocodile briefcase comes in yellow or blue. 

Italian accessories maker Shiro adorns his beautifully made leatherwear with tiny metal double-tailed lizards, which, according to Thai legend, heralds good luck for the rest of your life. 

Around ₩25 million.

It looks like a million bucks ... and costs a few million won.

Marianne fur vest

This leopard print vest is made of fox and lipi cat fur, and is so soft and light that you'll hardly know you're wearing it. 

Winter Sonata actress Choi Ji-woo purchased one and rocked it at a fashion event. 

Around ₩6 million, currently on sale for 20 percent off.
