For $89.95, these heated glove liners are sure to make your holiday giftee extremely happy.
What's really nice about Gerbing is their microwire technology means that all their heated gear instantly heats up, no wait time! Ok, maybe 5-10 seconds, but that's nothing compared to the 1-2 minute warmup you may experience with other brands.
At only 12v, they won't take much power to run off most bikes. You can never go wrong with heated!
Just found these cool reflective eyes on Ebay for $7. Perfect for the back of your helmet, eh? :)
Everyone needs motorcycle stocking stuffers! Most motorcyclists I know love the idea of being more visible in one way or another. If she doesn't want to wear these on her helmet, she could probably add them to her jacket or backpack.
You can find all kinds of logos/decals online in a variety of colors and graphics. Just google for 'reflective helmet decals' or 'reflective stickers and I'm sure you can find something that she'll love.
I just ordered a roll of white, pinstripe reflective tape from eBay so I can create a pattern on the back of my white helmet. You can find tape in all different reflective colors and widths if you just google.

This is one of those baselayers that will work everywhere, doing doing anything/everything. But especially while riding.
If you're always cold, or you know someone who doesn't have heated gear and could use a lightweight but warm layer that will fit flat and easy under any jacket, one of these windstopper vests might be a good choice.
Generally, if you can keep your core warm, it'll help keep the rest of your body warm too. I can handle riding during in chilly weather (like tonight, 48 degrees!) but it's the freezing cold air going down my chest that I can't stand. By simply shutting off this piece of the cold air, it makes the ride far more bearable.
You definitely can't go wrong with heated, but if that's too much or not an option (e.g. on a scooter or older motorcycle), one of these kinds of warm/windproof vests will be a huge improvement.
Above Right - North Face Women's Windwall Vest., $99
Above Left - Eddie Bauer MicroTherm Down Vest , $119 (this is even offered in regular/petite/tall sizing!)
