I’ve said time and time again that one of the best things that blogging has done for me is bring me some of my best friends. I especially love that my crew all has a different sense of style. It makes them fun to shop for. A couple of years ago, Dani, Rox, Sarah, and I did a Secret Santa and, honestly, the hardest part was staying within the price limit we set for ourselves. Fashionista friends are the most fun to shop for, and I have a couple hints if you need ideas for your own pals this holiday season.

Animal Print
While it doesn’t cover a single gift option, it would be hard to talk about fashionable gifts without mentioning animal print. This sort of pattern has long drifted in and out of fashion. At the moment, it is becoming incredibly popular, with the stars of websites like Instagram struggling to get enough of it, and this opens the doors to some easy gift ideas. If you have the budget for your recipient, a coat could be perfect for this. Of course, though, you can get umbrellas, bags, and practically any other accessory in this sort of style. This makes it very easy to find something affordable while also ticking the trendy boxes.
Scarves
Like animal print designs, scarves also have an evolving relationship with the world of fashion. Each year, different styles are more popular than others, and this has been adapting for a very long time. At the moment, hoods are one of the trendiest options out there, with scarves in this style being found on loads of different fashion sites and blogs. Of course, though, the beauty of a gift like this is that you can choose to be as striking or subtle as you’d like, making it very easy to find something which any fashion fanatic will be happy to wear. If you need some help choosing an item like this, Pinterest could give you some great ideas.
Jewelry
Some trends never disappear. In the case of jewelry, this accessory has been popular for thousands of years, with very early humans using this sort of tool to make themselves look good. Nowadays, things have changed a little, but you can still find loads of options on the market which can make excellent gifts. To get some inspiration, you can read more about 2018’s jewelry trends across the web. Not only do these gifts last for a long time, but they also give you the chance to show someone just how much you care about them, and this is something which can be hard to find with a lot of modern products.
Home ware
Like the trends which are found in the world of clothing and accessories, fashion tends to bring new styles of inside the home whenever seasons change. Winter is a great time for this sort of market, with people looking to make their homes more comfortable at this time of year, and loads of new products hitting the market. Of course, you will need to know someone very well before buying them something which fits into this field, as it can end up becoming quite a personal gift. To make sure that you’re making the right choice, it could be worth talking to a couple of the recipient’s other friends before you choose an item like this for them.
Goat Mugs
This next idea isn’t something which you necessarily wear, but it still falls into the category of fashion, even if it’s simply because they have been so popular. Goat horn hot drinks flasks have been on the market for a couple of years, but they found almost instant success with the crowds on websites like Instagram. Turning something simple, like tea or coffee, into an experience which will turn heads, there are few products which offer a similar level of unique charm. Of course, there are loads of novelty products like this on the market. This gives you a good range of choice, though, and these sorts of gifts tend to be a lot safer as a result.
Candles
Keeping a home smelling good can be a challenge when you don’t want to use potent chemicals. Solving this problem by melding both trendiness and air freshening capabilities together, scented candles can be a great gift which won’t look like you’re trying to send a nasty hint. You can get items like this in nice pots, in a huge range of colors, or as very traditional looking affairs, making it extremely easy to match the product you buy to the home of the person receiving it. It will be worth looking for the right brands, though, as some of these products are much better than others.
Makeup
Finally, as the last area to consider, it’s time to think about makeup. Like jewelry, this sort of product has been popular in fashion for a very long time, and each culture has their own take on it. When you know someone who can’t get enough of all things fashionable, makeup can make an excellent gift which they will be able to use each and every day. You may need to take a sneak peak in their bathroom to make sure that you get the products which they like to use, or you could consider being a little braver, choosing something which they may have never tried. Of course, you just have to make sure that a gift like this doesn’t look passive aggressive.
Hopefully, this post will give you some trendy ideas for your gifts this year. A lot of people find it hard to make sure that they’re choosing Christmas presents which will reflect the desires of the people they care about. Of course, in most cases, people won’t care too much about the gift itself, and will be more interested in spending time with you. While this takes the pressure off a little, though, it will be still be worth putting some time into getting this right.
