I'm Picky, So I Know "Hard to Buy for" Fashion Girls Will Love These 26 Gifts
How many times have your family told you that you’re impossible to buy for? It’s something my nearest and dearest complain about every year—particularly at Christmas time. Being in the business of fashion editing for the best part of a decade has made me, as some may deem, picky. I think this is unkind. Instead, I prefer to say that I’m specific about what I like.
For me, presents have never been the end of the festive period. Shopping is my favourite year-round pastime, and if I like something enough and can justify investing in it, I’ll do just that. As such, come Christmas Day, there’s nothing I truly yearn for. However, for anyone else who’s in the predicament of having to buy a gift for someone to whom fashion is of the greatest importance, I’ve decided to give to a helping hand.
Below you’ll find my handpicked edit of the best fashion gifts for 2019. From the season’s It dress and luxe pyjamas to designer scarves and beautiful boots, keep scrolling to see the present suggestions I guarantee stylish girls will love.
The pearl detail on the zip is beyond gorgeous.
The ideal stocking filler.
If in doubt, you can't go wrong with a pair of gold hoop earrings.
Staud just improved its already excellent Grace bag with the addition of faux pearls.
A fashion lover will adore the fact you’ve bought her something in this season’s top colour trend.
Next: 19 personalised gifts that are chic and meaningful in equal measure.

She been creating engaging and elevated style content specifically for Who What Wear UK since 2018, covering runway reports, emerging trends, long-form features, self-styled shopping stories and columns, including her edit of the best new-in buys. She ensures the highest editorial standards are met across the site, leads the editorial team in their SEO strategy and keyword planning, works closely with the beauty team on content initiatives, represents the brand at industry events, and regularly contributes to social media, including her own Who What Wear UK TikTok franchise, French Style Fridays. Previously, Maxine appeared on ITV's This Morning in her own fashion segment and has interviewed countless celebrities—everyone from Victoria Beckham to Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o.
Prior to Who What Wear UK, Maxine’s career began when, after completing her first-ever internship at Look magazine, she was offered a position on the brand's fashion desk. She accepted, leaving university a year early in the process. Her passion and natural talent for writing and styling meant she swiftly rose through the ranks to become the title's fashion news and commercial content editor, with a stint as InStyle.co.uk’s fashion and beauty writer along the way. She later served as Look’s acting Editor in Chief, overseeing both print and digital, before embarking on a successful freelance career, working with Grazia, The Pool, and Marie Claire amongst others.
Maxine is based remotely from her countryside home near Edinburgh where she spends her downtime renovating her house, walking her dogs, hosting friends and trying to master the art of making Old Fashioned cocktails.
