We wish picking out gifts for our girls was as easy as pie, but the truth is we've got a handful of BFFs and family members — and they're all pretty different from one another. There's the friend [1] who wants all things pink and floral, from her notebooks to her flouncy dresses, and then there's the girl who's sporty chic, spending her days in sports bras [2] and sneaker wedges.
Thankfully, we found a way of sorting out the small stuff. We rounded up the coolest gifts [3] from every category and sorted them by personality type. So whether you're searching for a present for the Cara Delevingne in your life or the Taylor Swift [4], we've got you covered. We promise, there really is something for everyone in your bunch.

The Sophisticated Girl
Olivia Palermo perfectly embodies the sophisticated girl. She sets her own trends [14], and she likes to make a standout statement [15] while she's at it — but she's always polished. Don't be afraid to buy her a bold accessory; just make sure she can mix and match [16] it with the rest of her wardrobe.

The Classicist
Kate Middleton recycles her outfits [62] so often because she's a classicist [63]. She knows what works for her, and she sticks with her streamlined uniform when she makes an appearance. There's nothing wrong with that. If you've got a gal pal who tends toward the same routine, buy her pieces that are worth the investment. She'll never grow tired of them, and you'll be able to see just how much she appreciates your gift when she wears it time and time again.
