8 Gifts You Can Buy for the Fashion Lover in Your Life This Holiday Season
We all have that one person in our life — who always shows up looking impossibly cool, wearing a piece you’ve probably never seen on anyone else, and making it seem so effortlessly chic. As easy as they might make it look, shopping for them is a whole different story.
As the holiday season rolls around, finding the perfect gift for the fashion lover in your life can feel…intimidating. But don’t worry, EnVi has rounded up eight gift ideas they’ll absolutely love or didn’t even know they needed.
BAG CHARMS
Bag charms are surprisingly great stocking stuffers! There are so many different styles out there, from tiny plushies to photoframes to leather designs, which make them the perfect accessory for your accessories.
You can find these charms from sustainability-conscious brands like Free People and Madewell, or support small businesses on Etsy.
STYLE-CENTRIC PRINTED GOODS
If the fashion enthusiast you know is willing to put that much effort into their outfit, chances are, they may put similar energy into curating their living space. A coffee table book relating to their favorite brand or designer could be a great addition.
If books aren’t quite their vibe, you could also source vintage editions of their favorite magazines or posters off of Ebay or Facebook Marketplace! It’s part decoration, part inspiration. What’s not to love?
A MATCHING PAJAMA SET
A matching pajama set is one of those little luxuries every fashion girl appreciates. After all, it’s just another chance for them to play dress up, even if it’s to get ready for bed. This Venus Karma Pajama Set is crafted from 100% Japanese cotton and hand-finished by artisans.
Venus Karma is committed to sustainability and zero-waste, so every piece is slow-made with care. You can also personalize each set by adding custom text, which is a simple, thoughtful touch that makes your recipient’s gift unique to them.
And if you’re looking for something similar at a different price point, Etsy has plenty of options too!
SUBSCRIPTION TO A CLOSET RENTAL SERVICE
To a fashion lover, there’s nothing like a never-ending closet. Fashion rental services might just be exactly what they need. These subscription-based platforms let you rent a certain amount of curated secondhand clothes, giving you easy access to any style without the commitment (or closet clutter!). You can experiment, guilt-free, while promoting a longer lifespan for clothes and easing the demand for new production.
If you’re wondering how to turn this into a gift, you can cover the cost of their first trial period so they can see if they love the service! Nuuly and Rent the Runway are a few popular closet rental sites you can look into to decide which fits your gift recipient’s needs.
BAGGU REUSABLE BAG
Baggu is one of the most reliable options around when it comes to reusable bags. They’re made from recycled materials and are designed to minimize waste. Plus, they come in all sorts of designs and patterns!
The Pleated Baggu is the slightly elevated version of their other bags. It’s structured, just a little bit different, and perfect for the person who appreciates both style and sustainability. Plus, it’s ideal for carrying their latest fashion finds.
FRIENDSHIP JEWELRY
Friendship jewelry is a sweet way to combine style and sentiment. You can either buy it from the recipient’s favorite accessory brand or go the extra mile and make it yourself!
Not sure where to start? Mejuri has a variety of products made with carefully selected, responsibly sourced materials. You can also visit your nearby crafts shop for jewelry-making materials if you’d like to DIY.
Whether you choose bracelets, rings, or necklaces, it’s something you and the fashion lover in your life can wear together.
A PAID FASHION EXPERIENCE OR CLASS
If the fashion enthusiast you’re thinking of is as creative as their outfits, they’ll likely love a paid-off experience or class. Tickets to a fashion exhibit, leather workshop, or jewelry design classes are just a few experiences they might not know they’ll enjoy before they try it out themselves.
No matter how things turn out, they’ll remember it as a thoughtful and creative gift.
SECONDHAND STYLE BUNDLE
You may have never heard of a style bundle, but your fashion friend probably has — and maybe even indulged in one. These are packages of clothing and accessories, most popularly curated by sellers on Depop, that fit the buyers taste. Items are often secondhand or thrifted, which make them great sustainable gifts.
You can either purchase them a style bundle or, if you’re feeling a DIY project, you can head to your local thrift stores and curate the bundle yourself!
Finding the right gift for the fashion person in your life doesn’t have to be stressful, it just takes a little bit of creativity and thoughtfulness. In the end, it’s all about celebrating their unique style and showing a little love in the process.
