Presenting: a gift guide consisting mostly of stuff I just really like. We’ve got gifts on here for your best friend, for your mom, for your sister, and for your co-workers…plus a few things that you may want to send gentle hints about to your significant other (or just go ahead and pick up for yourself; it’s the holidays, and a little indulgence is totally acceptable).
1. Black leather gloves are always a good gift. When you add fringe, they are GREAT.
2. The sweetest bracelet-for-two ever (and totally acceptable for grownup BFFs).
3. A cape is very right-this-moment, but the shape and color of this one make it a classic.
4. Kendrick says he wishes he put this gramophone iPad amplifier in the Guy Gift Guide. Nothing like a gift that makes both halves of a couple happy.
5. For the apartment gardener: a totally unscrewupable (seriously, it could not be more low-maintenance) way to grow fresh basil.
6. Does anyone use a laptop desk? Not really. But I bet if they owned a fur one they would.
7. Cozy slipper socks make an excellent Secret Santa gift (or stocking stuffer).
8. Returning to the fact that fur on anything makes it better, I present to you: faux fur eye masks. YES.
9. Just the best blanket ever.
10. These asymmetrical Ben Amun earrings are holiday-perfect, with a delicate stud for one side and an ear crawler (that’s actually what it’s called; I looked it up) for the other.
11. We already know I have quite the thing for Stuart Weitzman boots. These? Have FRINGE. (They’re also eight hundred dollars, but maybe you’re in the market for a little luxury, who knows?)
12. In the more affordable (but still very chic) footwear category: a pair of jelly slides inspired by the classic Jack Rogers style made famous by Jackie O (great for the lucky girl who’s headed off for a tropical vacation this winter).
13. Simple studs are a universal crowd-pleaser, and this bolt-inspired pair is extra cool.
14. Buying makeup for someone else can be tricky, but Chantecaille’s lip glosses are flattering on everyone and luxurious enough to be gift-able.
15. For your best friend or mom: a pair of initial earrings she can wear everyday, with everything.
