22 Affordable Gifts Your Fashion-Forward Friends Will Love You For
What makes a good—no—a great gift? A lot of factors, actually. It should be something useful but not boring. Exciting to unbox and eye-catching. Plus, it should be something that the person will actually love and not feel compelled to return. But, if they do want to return it, that should be an option, too. Keeping it considerate, you know?
Luckily, all these things are pretty easy to achieve for any type of giftee and at any budget. Take today’s roundup as an example. If you’re trying to impress your most fashionable friend with something that won’t cost you a ton in money or effort, look no further than our very own Who What Wear collection for Target where there are so many amazing options, I had trouble narrowing them down to just 22. From fun but practical outerwear to statement sweaters to party-ready pieces, we’ve got something for any type of friend, sister, colleague, aunt, or, of course, yourself. Just keep scrolling to get started shopping.
