20 Chic Gifts For The Fashionista In Your Life

Buying a present for a bonafide fashionista falls into that tricky category of finding a gift for someone who has everything — it's awfully hard to surprise them. Whatever you come up with, they might already have it.

It's best to invest in something that will be appreciated, which means buying more of what they usually wear and love. Sure, you might not be able to think of anything groundbreaking, since fashionable people are usually aware of everything that's trending. However, your style-savvy loved one will be delighted to unwrap an item that they really wanted already. Try purchasing a product that they get themselves frequently, and something that can suit their fashion needs.

You can't go wrong with timeless classics that go with anything. Or, you could opt for one of the season's most sought-after fragrances, beauty products, or top accessories. To help you decide, we compiled a list of gifts across different price points that are guaranteed to bring holiday magic to the most demanding fashion connoisseurs.
