What to Gift the Basic B*tch in Your Life

If she loves lacy pink underwear, keep a good thing going. Every girl needs a great pair of sexy skivvies, and these Hanky Panky Signature Lace Original Rise Thong 5-Pack ($90) are colorful enough to capture her attention.

If she still has velour sweats tucked away in her dresser, give her a major upgrade with these Gap Marled sweats ($50). Instead of the sweatpants of yesteryear with something funny splashed across the butt, this pair will prove to her that lounge pants can actually be cool.

If she spends 24-7 in her classic pearls, surprise her with a chic spin on her go-to. These front-back Fallon pearl earrings ($98) are classy in the front but party in the back, so what's not to love?

If she practices brunching like it's a religion, this Asos Pencil Dress With Kimono Wrap Detail ($80) will be the perfect style statement. It's loose and flowy (great for meal times), and it's a hint of sexy without ever showing too much.

If she is always stepping out in her neon Nikes, get her a fresh pair of Nike Roshe Run Print Sneakers ($80), which add a pop of pattern and color without being a total eyesore. That way, whether she's headed to barre class or the bar, she can always wear a fly pair of kicks. And, for the holidays, Nike is offering free shipping and returns, so no pressure.

Yes, yoga pants are her daytime look of choice, but with these Lauren Ralph Lauren Sequin Leggings ($60) in her arsenal, she can wear skin-tight leggings all night long too.

If she's got a thing for crop tops, she's going to fall head over heels for this Topshop floral overlay dress ($105). It has the same waist-slimming properties but manages to be office-appropriate.

If she loves something sparkly (and personalized), this Maya Brenner Designs 14k Yellow Gold Mini Letter Necklace ($240) is dainty and versatile. We'll call it a staple, not basic.

If a Vera Bradley tote is somewhere in her closet, here's the piece she'll actually covet. This sleek Vera Bradley Slim Zip Wristlet ($44) is colorful without being overly girlie. Plus, it's the perfect size for a night out on the town.

If the mantra "On Wednesdays we wear pink" really means something to her, grab her a piece that makes the hue a good choice any day of the week. This H&M Wool-Blend Coat ($80) is a great wardrobe staple that she won't ever want to take off.

She may already have a closet full of UGG boots, but she probably doesn't have these. The moto-style UGG Grandle ($200) is still warm and cozy but has a fashion-girl edge.

We all know basic girls love sweater weather. What's better in life than cozying up in this Madewell Cityblock Turtleneck Sweater ($128) with a pumpkin spice latte in hand? In life, sometimes it's the little things.

Instead of opting for a diamond-encrusted watch, surprise her with this Michael Kors Large Runway Blacked Out Chronograph Watch ($275). It's just as cool as the classic gold, and no one will see it coming.

If she lives and dies in her J.Crew ballet flats, here's how to help her take her look to the next level. These J.Crew Gladiator Ballet Flats ($238) are simple and elegant with an edgy twist.

If her Coach monogram bag is looking a bit tattered, upgrade her with this Coach Mini Turnlock Borough Bag ($350). It's the perfect size for squeezing in everything she needs, but it still looks sleek.

The North Face jackets may be a basic girl's go-to, but the brand has so much more to offer. This down puffer vest ($180) is a cool-girl piece for Winter layering.

Tory Burch flats get a basic rap, but the brand's luxe leather pieces are seriously stylish. The Simone Over-the-Knee Boots ($525) deserve a space in her closet.
