This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at IU chapter.

With our favorite time of year in full gear, HCIU knows you must be searching for last minute gift ideas!  We have researched this holiday season’s most wanted items that will leave your Christmas stockings overstuffed!

1.     The brand new OPI Designer Series has the perfect mix of dark, light, matte or sparkly colors. This collection will leave your nails glowing and everyone at the dinner table staring!

2.     Above the knee high socks are an absolute necessity this winter. The perfect accessory that will add that small touch of taste to your outfit. Whether they are solid worn with a patterned sweater, or a printed pair worn with a solid sweater, this effortless part of your outfit will elongate your legs and have heads turning!

3.     Each year, every girl faces the same issue: to keep warm, or to look cute. Luckily, this season’s hottest items are the hair turbans that will leave you looking stylish and feeling cozy! In all different styles and colors, this must-have comes in various styles and with reasonable prices!  Kourtney Kardashian rocks a studded head turban! 

4.     If you aren’t already an owner of the new IPhone 4S, then I suggest you move on to bigger and better things and leave that old school BBM behind! If you are already a proud user of the IPhone, then you better be rocking a fabulous IPhone case, or at least adding it to your Christmas list! Designers such as Free City, Marc Jacobs and Diane von Furstenberg have released the hottest cases that are to die for!

5.     A major trend watch this winter is printed tights! You must start stocking up this winter, no pun intended. Wildly patterned hosiery is a crucial item for your closet, making a simple outfit look extremely chic. Add these tights under a pair of leather shorts and you will be the talk of your holiday party! Check out the heart patterned tights from ASOS!
