The Holiday 2020 Edit

Christmas is upon us! The time has finally come to set out to search gifts for family, friends, significant others and those who have played such influential roles within our lives. Although gift giving comes with the holiday spirit, shopping for others can be a bit stressful.

So, for today’s post, I figured I would create The Holiday 2020 Edit for the special women in your life. As they are broken down into five categories: 1) The Homebody, 2) The Fashionista, 3) The Beauty Guru, 4) The Jetsetter and 5) The Boss. Keep reading to get into my personal gift-giving suggestions!

1) The Homebody

The Homebody is dedicated to all things home. With COVID-19 still raging on, relaxation, lux comfort and simple pleasures excite this diva! When shopping for The Homebody, keep in mind to opt for pieces that are cozy, practical and thoughtful.

2) The Fashionista

For many, The Fashionista may the most difficult person to pinpoint gift-wise. Yes, she’s uber-versatile in her sartorial donnings and she’s no stranger to dropping a few coins on the hottest trends. To grant The Fashionista’s Christmas wish, go big or go home. Think bold accents, eccentric prints and quirky detailing.

4) The Jetsetter

Sis, The Jetsetter is here one minute and gone the next… She catches flights, not feelings. While the world is busy thinking about their domestic Christmas plans, The Jetsetter is solidifying that New Year’s skip across the Atlantic. This one is simple: go for travel essentials that will make The Jetsetter’s airport trek much easier. Bonus points: Add in hand sanitizer. We still have to practice safety in the midst of this pandemic.

The Boss comes in many forms. The Boss may be a successful entrepreneur. The Boss may be a woman with a demanding full-time career. The Boss may be a college student who is blossoming fully into her own. Plain and simple: The Boss is here to handle business. Match this trailblazer’s lifestyle by seeking out gifts that will add to their business aesthetic yet stick more elevated finds.
