Holiday Gift Ideas for Fashionable Friends

Christmas is a great time to celebrate your wonderful friends. But when you think about it, you probably have a lot of people to shop for on a limited budget. Finding the perfect budget-conscious gifts for your fashionable friends doesn’t have to be stressful. First, make a list of friends who love fashion. Next, whittle down that list to a select few close friends (you don’t want to burn money on acquaintances!) Then, write down what style fits the individuals you chose best. For instance, if your friend is into trendy items, write “trendy fashionista” next to their name. Or maybe your friend is more into a classic look—write down “classic inspired” next to her name. Regardless of your friends’ tastes the prime reason for getting them a gift is to find that one item that really suits them and that they will cherish. Here are some helpful hints for Christmas gifts ideas for friends:

Etsy—Any list referencing holiday gifts on a budget should include Etsy. Shops like Persephone Vintage have some great well-priced items like this geometric dress and this structured plaid blouse.

Books—There are several great books the fashion crowd has been talking about that would be a perfect gift. Some great options Women in Clothes, The Sartorialist: Closer, and the Wes Anderson Collection.

A 3D Printing Pen—This gift is a little up there in price, but could be perfect for that one special friend. Check out the interesting, albeit $99, 3Doodler.

Indie Magazines—A subscription to a highly visual vintage magazine could be a perfect, cost-conscious gift. Buy your friend a subscription to Lucky Peach or Contributor Magazine.

The key take away: ‘tis the season, but don’t go broke!
