Fashionable Gift Ideas So Good You'll Have a Hard Time Not Shopping For Yourself

There is something so sophisticated about a classic timepiece. Perfect for the world traveler in your life, the Citizen Ladies' World Time timepiece ($300) has quite a few features we've been lusting over. First, it functions in 26 time zones with a perpetual calendar and date. Second, its slim stainless-steel silhouette makes it easy to incorporate into your everyday wardrobe, while the mother-of-pearl finish on the face makes it appropriate for special occasions, too. And finally, it utilizes Eco-Drive technology, meaning the entire watch is powered by any light source. So you can give this watch knowing its recipient will never have to replace a battery — ever.

These simple, white gold hoops from Shashi ($65) are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Not only are they plated in white gold, making them an elevated step up from their superpopular yellow-gold sister, but they're made in the New York, supporting Manhattan's Garment District. So you can rest easy knowing you're giving a gift that gives back to its community.

Nothing is more current or ladylike than a mini beaded tote. This small faux-pearl bag from Vanina ($490) will elevate your style to that of a fashion It girl when paired with a Summer midi dress or a go-to tee and jeans. Not only is this a a very trendy accessory, but it supports craftsmanship, so when you give this gift to your friend, it will be tagged with the artisan who handcrafted it. Talk about chic.

A custom monogram is the pinnacle of style and elegance, and in this case, we think a pair of hand-painted leather mules ($245) is a no-brainer when it comes to finding something special for your loved one. The monogram gives a bespoke touch they'll be sure to love.

Sunglasses are an obvious choice when it comes to gifting. Why? Because you can own more than one pair, and styles are always updating! We love this modern cat-eye silhouette ($175). Its blunt tips add a touch of edge, while the oversize shape is flattering on everyone.

Chances are if you've seen the trendy beauty brand Kosas popping up in your Instagram feed, then so has your friend. She'll love the chance to test it out for herself when you gift her a few key items. Start her off with the Color and Light Palette in 8th Muse ($34). It's the perfect cream palette, since pink blush and champagne highlighter can work on multiple skin tones.

Give the gift of a good glow when you stock her up with these Goop Glow Peel Pads ($125). They contain 15 percent glycolic acid, so she'll literally wake up with brighter, smoother, more glowy skin.

We're not gonna lie: the "dad sneaker" trend is a hard look to pull off. Luckily for your friend, these leather trainers from Everlane ($98) are the perfect gateway pair.
