WASHINGTON, DC – The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls, through its founders Kristina "Morgan" Rose and Deandra "Brooksie" Brooks, reveal the age-old secret of what women really want for Christmas. This announcement is intended to assist men who have only six shopping days left.

"Life is too short to get crappy gifts," said Morgan.

Morgan and Brooksie note that many men tend to purchase appliances and perfume for the women in their lives. However, this is not what women really want for the holidays.

"I like things that sparkle and shine," stated Brooksie.

"You can never go wrong with sparkle and flash," agreed Morgan.

Morgan and Brooksie recommend men purchase jewelry, including tiaras, fine wine, spa treatments and the gift of time. Examples of the "gift of time" include maid service, babysitting services and tropical vacations. Most importantly, the gift should reflect the woman’s needs and desires – whether it’s something to make her feel pretty or a way to decrease her workload. Please note, diamonds never make anyone look fat. Lastly the gift should demonstrate the giver’s efforts, not his attempt to get out of the mall in five minutes.

"I once dumped a man because he bought me a tire gauge for Christmas. Sure, I might’ve needed it and it was metal, but it didn’t sparkle and it certainly didn’t save me any time. Frankly, a gift certificate for a free oil change would’ve been a better gift!" declared Brooksie.
