Fun Gifts
for Fashion Lovers
Have a few
fashion lovers on your shopping list this year? Trying to think of
what you can tell others to get YOU? You're in luck! From stocking
stuffers to scene stealers, budget-friendly to wildly extravagant,
here are some fun gift ideas you can use to get the "It's
perfect! Just what I wanted!" response you want.
Beauty
Classics
Looking for
some tried-and-true beauty classics that would be welcomed in any
stocking? Peruse the 2007
BEST OF BEAUTY Master List from the Editors of Allure Magazine.
They review hundreds of products in dozens of categories to find the
best performers. Some are old classics, some are new favorites, all
are sure to be a hit with the fashion-savvy on your list.

Scent
Sampler
Like the idea
of giving perfume but not sure which fragrance is right? No problem!
Sephora's Scent Sampler allows you to give samples of ten of their
most popular fragrances (Philosophy Inner Grace, Vera Wang Princess,
Givenchy Very Irresistable, among others) so the recipient can try
them all and choose her favorite. Then she can redeem a gift
certificate at Sephora for a full sized sample of the one she liked
best. Great idea! Some restrictions apply, so be sure to read the
fine print. |

Luxurious
Muffler
A luxurious
muffler looks great, feels great, and can update an old coat in a
flash. If you have someone on your list who's fussy or hard to buy
for, give them a beautiful muffler and see how often they wear it.
With all the compliments such pieces tend to generate, it will
probably be a lot. |

Diamond
Stud Earrings
Simple,
classic, elegant. If your favorite fashionista doesn't have a pair of
diamond stud earrings, perhaps you should get her some. Beautiful
pieces are often worn for years and passed down through generations,
so don't be afraid to splurge. You're sure to get your money's worth. |

Nintendo
DS Fashion Designer
Do you have a
young fashion lover on your list who's also into Ninetendo DS? Me too!
Challenge her inner designer by designing a clothing line, styling
her models' hair, and putting together a fashion shoot. She can even
see what it's like to run a boutique and work with clients. Ages 7
and up. |

Spa
Experience
|
Energy-draining
projects. Year-end deadlines. Last-minute shopping. Unexpected
guests. Want to pamper a special someone and take her away from all
her troubles for a while? Then gift her with a massage, facial, or
manicure and watch her grin from ear to ear. Look for participating
spas across country or around the corner with a little help from Spa
Wish. (Also recommended to anyone reading this.) |
|
Luggage
|
Have a
fashionable traveler on your list? Try a pretty new set of luggage
that looks great, has wheels and handles, and stands out from the sea
of black suitcases on the airport luggage carousel. Designer brand
luggage doesn't have to be expensive to look good and perform well. |

Gift Card
Sill stumped?
Try a gift card to their favorite store (department, boutique, book,
or discount) or a general-purpose gift card, like American Express.
Gift cards make it easy for people to get just what they want while
making it easy on you to give. Win-win all around.
So, there you
have it: fun gift ideas for the fashion lovers on your list. Why
stress yourself out this holiday season when you can just let your
fingers do the clicking?
Happy shopping!
And Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish readers!
