On the spectrum of gifts that can truly be considered universal crowdpleasers, there aren't too many that fall into the "clothing" category. These days, most are tech- or entertainment-related, but we found one fashion-friendly option that's equally stylish and functional: sweaters.
The ultimate way to get warm and cozy (while still looking put together), sweaters are the most versatile cold weather essential anyone's wardrobe can possibly have. Unlike outerwear or shoes, they can be worn all day, in or outdoors. Ahead, we've curated a variety of perfectly gift-ready styles to add to your holiday haul now. Whether you're shopping for your mom, your kids, or your great uncle, these Gap picks will satisfy the whole family.
