We all have that one person in our friend group that always manages to look so effortlessly stylish and chic for practically any occasion imaginable. They always look put together and fashionable that they’ve practically become our go-to person whenever we need some style advice. That being said, fashionable people can be pretty difficult to shop for. Like, extremely difficult. They have quite a specific taste meaning that, unless they literally show you what they want as a gift, you will probably end up getting them the wrong thing.
As if that wasn’t enough, the global health crisis our world is dealing with right now is making holiday shopping even more challenging than it already is, with many of us replacing their favorite physical shopping carts with digital ones. Even though Christmas shopping will be different this year, there are ways to surprise your favorite fashion lover and get them something they will love. Below, six awesome, fashion-forward gift ideas for the true fashionista in your life.
A fancy pajama set for a cozy holiday season
We all crave creature comforts, and this Christmas season may be the perfect opportunity to get your friend that fancy sleeper pajama set worn by the models all over Milan and New York catwalks. Thanks to various designers, PJs have taken on a new meaning, going from the standard baggy T-shirt and comfy flannel pants to the luxurious, glamorous nightwear you could literally rock out in public.
With a couple of style hacks, you can easily turn sleepwear into streetwear, but we’re pretty sure your fashion-forward friend already knows about it, so we’ll leave it to them.
A nice bottle of perfume to complement her fashion sense
Designer or not, perfumes are some of the best gifts you can give to your stylish girlfriend – as long as you know which fragrances she finds the most flattering. As a person with style, chances are your friend probably already has her signature scent, in which case you already have an idea of what perfume to get her.
If not, take her personality into account when selecting the perfect fragrance for her. As an alternative, you can always opt for something classic and timeless. If you manage to find a nice scent in a cute bottle, you’ll also be giving her something pretty to sit on her dresser.
A designer book to spruce up her coffee table
Speaking of fashion-forward gifts that can also beautify a living space, what better way to surprise your fashion-obsessed friend than by gifting her home decor that will make her home look just as stylish as her? Designer books are all the rage right now and can make any coffee table or a dresser instantly chic and luxurious.
And, since traveling is out of question this holiday season, we’ll all need to find ways to fill our time, and a photobook of iconic Prada collections she can flip through could be just the perfect Christmas gift for her.
A cool gadget she will actually love and use
If you’re looking for a more functional Christmas gift to give to your fashion-loving friend, a cool gadget could be just what you’re looking for. Whether we’re talking about a time-saving hair styler, a fashionable fitness tracker, nifty noise-canceling headphones, or a practical iRobot, when it comes to functional gifts, the options are pretty much endless.
And, since you can rely on sites such as Shoppster and turn to online retailers for help, you could be just a couple of clicks away from getting that perfect gift (or two) for your fashionable friend that she will actually love and use.
A fashion-forward face mask that’s actually chic
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has certainly started to shape our fashion choices, and even though we’re spending more time at home than usual, that’s not to say that our ensembles have to be any less stylish when we actually do go out.
With a couple of beautifully designed, fashion-forward face masks at her disposal, your friend can help prevent coronavirus spread in style – the more sustainable they are, the better.
A set of her favorite designer makeup products
Designer brands can get a little bit expensive, so if you can’t really afford to give your friend the designer items she really wants, buying products their makeup line is the next best thing.
Whether it is a pretty nail polish to add a pop of color to cold wintry days or a designer mascara that will have her serving looks this holiday season, she’ll definitely appreciate the splurge and rock her new makeup proudly.
