The 59 Best Gifts For Every Type Of Person

By now, we thought we’d be pretty much done with our holiday gift shopping. We also thought the bulk of that gift shopping would have been for others, not for ourselves—but alas. Things don’t always go as planned, and our one for you, one for me policy looks more like one for you, five for me.

Thus, we find ourselves in a bit of a bind—crunched for time, and uninspired. However, there’s still time! We pulled together dozens of our absolute favorite gift ideas sure to satisfy everyone on your list. From a $28 nail polish to a $1,000 iPhone X, here are our recommendations for every personality type.

 


FOR THE MORE IS MORE GIRL

You can’t go wrong with color, sparkle, or a combination of the two.

IF SHE’S STILL A FAN OF BLAIR WALDORF

For someone who still worships at the altar of classic, Upper East Side prep, look no further than Fendi and CHANEL, and give her the gift of the perfect, glossy blowout (scented with Tom Ford, naturally).

THE IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOP FOR BOY

Boys are so, SO hard to shop for! Unless he’s super into some specific thing (like looking “silky”), good luck. So, we pulled seven super-special options that every guy we know would be thrilled to get.
