I've come to find that one of the greatest gifts of adulthood is that when I want something, I can buy it for myself. Granted, I'm not out here dropping thousands on a Hermès Mini Kelly (don't tempt me with a good time), but if there's a new sweater or pair of sneakers I can't stop thinking about, I'll get it for myself. Every year, this leaves my mom in a pickle over what to buy me for Christmas, so I'm letting it be known now: I willneverturn down new accessories—jewelry, handbags, and sunglasses included. So if someone in your life is as hard to shop for as I am, let me introduce you to the 31 accessories that will suit a range of personal tastes and price points. Keep scrolling to shop my top gifts that range from $15 to $1500. Send this link to your mom, and thank me later.
