Not to brag, but I am pretty, pretty good at gift giving! Chalk it up to 10+ years of Who What Wear gift guides under my belt, a huge extended family to shop for, and, of course, a fear of disappointing (just kidding, kind of). But really, the only thing I love more than shopping for myself is shopping for others, and I have come to learn what makes a truly wonderful gift.
It can be useful but also frivolous; something they would absolutely love to have but maybe aren't willing or able to purchase themselves. It can be simple, but it still has to have characteristics that make it special. Are you starting to catch on? Anyway, it doesn’t matter what I say, because I’ve already rounded up the gifts! Forty-two of them, to be exact, and trust me, they’re good enough for your most fashionably intimidating recipient. Just keep scrolling to see and shop my picks for the 2025 holiday season.
