A fashion lover’s Christmas gift guide

With Christmas fast approaching, many people are starting to get their Christmas gift shopping organised. And, of course, with that, comes the age-old question of what to buy. The pressure is certainly on and perhaps even more so when shopping for the fashion-lover in your life. You may be wondering what the latest trends are, what gifts are unique and what can you get the fashion-lover who seemingly has it all. As a lover of fashion myself, I am going to share a gift guide to give you inspiration when buying gifts. Keep reading to find out what the perfect gifts are for your fashion-minded friends and family this Christmas from small stocking fillers to timeless pieces.

Small gifts/stocking fillers
Whether you are looking for a low-budget gift or looking for smaller gifts to fill a stocking for the recipient, there are plenty to choose from. Mini beauty sets are always well-received and can easily be found at most shops. I would recommend visiting Boots as they have a wide selection of beauty sets that include both makeup and skincare. I also love the table books about each designer, for example, the Little Book of Chanel, by Emma Baxter-Wright. These are a great decoration piece but also an enjoyable read. They are available on Amazon for a great price. These can be a great idea for the recipient to start a collection. What I love about these smaller gifts is that they are great by themselves, or you can really make them into your own unique gift. I would recommend adding some tissue paper to a stocking or Christmas box to make a kind of hamper.

We may have complained when we were younger about getting socks and underwear for Christmas, but the truth is we could not be more grateful for these as a gift now

Latest trends
What better way to find the best gift for a fashion lover than to ensure you are up to date with trends? It is no surprise that ribbons and bows are in. In a review for Vogue, Nicole Phelps wrote: “Bows have been the subject of much online discourse of late … a way to hold onto youth and reject adult responsibility.” Whether it’s a bow hairband or a dress covered with bows to wear on Christmas day, you cannot go wrong. Alternatively, maybe you know an influencer that the recipient follows, and can take inspiration from there. This ensures that you are getting something they definitely want.

Classics
What is gift giving without a Christmas classic? We may have complained when we were younger about getting socks and underwear for Christmas, but the truth is we could not be more grateful for these as a gift now that we are older. The best thing is that you can purchase these from many shops. Another great classic for this Christmas is pyjamas. Pyjamas from Primark are a great option, or if you are looking for a luxurious and timeless pair, then I would recommend Chelsea Peers. Chelsea Peers create luxury pyjamas with gorgeous patterns: the most perfect gift for fashion lovers.

Jewellery and accessories
A scarf, a hat, and a pair of gloves are something everybody needs this winter – and for your fashion-minded friends, you can find very fashionable winter accessories easily. Another great option is jewellery. From bracelets to earrings, it will be something that the recipient can treasure forever. The store Oliver Bonas has a lovely jewellery gift range, and you are sure to find something for everyone.

Unique – making a scarf or jumper
For the crafty gift-givers out there, you could try making your own scarf or even jumper to gift! This is unique, shows thoughtfulness, and will become a great addition to the recipient’s wardrobe.

From stocking fillers to making your own gifts, there is something that everyone can gift fashion lovers. Knowing what the recipient likes and keeping up with the latest trends certainly helps the process of gift buying.
