I'm a Gold Medalist in Gift Giving—Here's What to Buy the Fashion Girlies This Year
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 themsleves. 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-seven 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.
I have these on my Andiamo bag, and people literally stop me on the street to ask about them.
A major upgrade to my morning coffee routine.
I own these and can confirm that the name "best-ever" is completely warranted.
Choosing between all the Olympia Le-Tan clutches nearly took me out.
Does she regularly photograph and share the contents of her purse? She needs this.
It was hard to choose a favorite color, but I think this is it.
I already have these in black but am pining for a second pair.
There's nothing I love more than when fashion brands venture into homeware.
Bonus points if you snag the matching sweater.
Seeing as it was in the 30s in NYC this week, I might buy these for myself.
I'm trying to imagine someone not loving this, and it's pretty much impossible.
The gold travel case is everything.
Your foodie friend will love Instagramming this as much as they love eating it.
If I can't have this sapphire necklace, I guess I'll settle for the pretty jewelry tray.
The collab we didn't know we needed.
If they can't spend the holidays in St. Barth, bring St. Barth to her.
How many times is too many times to say, I might buy this too.
It's not just cute—it's conveniently designed to fit an AirTag!
At the end of the day, we all just love Uggs.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
