If you didn’t take advantage of the sales on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, don’t worry. There is still time to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list this holiday season. I love buying gifts for other people and seeing them smile as they peel back the wrappings, but that’s another story. I’m here to talk about stylish gifts. Or in other words, how to be a stylish gift giver (try saying that three times fast!)
Choosing the perfect gift can be a challenge especially if the person on the receiving end seems to have everything! The biggest issue tends to be cost. Let’s be honest, we are all broke college kids dreading the day that we have to purchase our next set of textbooks. The last thing we can afford is costly presents for our friends. But hey, the purpose of my article is to help ease the process of gift giving. Ready? Let’s go!
The first stylish gift that I found while perusing through Pinterest is this collection of beaded pouches from Pottery Barn. They’re gorgeous and the best part is that they’re on sale!
The gold would match any Notre Dame themed outfit, as they’re very versatile. These pouches could be used as a make-up bag, pencil bag, or even simply a clutch to match a favorite . The possibilities are endless.
The next gift possibility is a DVD of The September Issue. This is the perfect gift for any fashion lovers in your life. It follows Vogue editor, Anna Wintour during the month of the magazine’s biggest issue, you guessed it, September. This movie is an amazing behind the scenes look at everything the editor of a fashion magazine is responsible for. To sweeten the deal, Amazon has the movie for eight dollars. What a bargain!
Another gift that would be perfect for anyone on your list combines two of the hottest trends right now. Buns and bows. These are bows designed specifically for when you wear your hair in a bun. This has to be one the greatest inventions of all time. While I personally am not able to accomplish the sock bun look (#finehairprobs), I have a friend who pulls it off beautifully. She too, likes to tie ribbon around her topknots in order to add some flair. It seems like such a hassle to have to tie the bow each time you wear your hair like that. These bun bows make it so much easier and they come in so many cute patterns and colors!
My personal favorite gift to give is a cute set of pajamas. Maybe it’s because I really enjoy wearing matching pajamas or maybe it’s because waking up in a cute pair of pajamas is one of the best ways to start the day. I think the navy and green polka dot combination of this pajama set from Gilly Hicks is adorable.
Pajamas are a great gift because you can never have too many pairs of pajamas! I mean who doesn’t want more comfy lounging clothes?
Have fun and good luck shopping for everyone on your list this holiday season!
