Great gift idea!  There are lots of down jackets to choose from this season, but I chose this one for one of my “picks” because it falls at the hip and the stitching is very flattering.  Plus it comes in 3 great colors:  black, pacific blue, and beech nut green.  Petite sizes available.  $149 regularly, onsale for $129.  Order from Eddie Bauer.
