Cozy, Bright, Happy Gifts You’ll Love to Give (Then Borrow)
Even those who sleigh at presents can get a bit of help with 10 fashionable finds from Free People.
Two reasons you’re a fantastic gift-giver? Your shopping enthusiasm and unmistakable taste. Knowing exactly what will brighten someone’s day is a superpower—and it’s not one that everyone possesses. So, you embrace it. You revel in the joy that spreads across someone’s face as soon as they open your thoughtfully wrapped present, or reading that excited “thank you” text they send after receiving your surprise package. For you, holiday shopping is a veritable delight—it brings you as much pleasure as it does the lucky individual on the receiving end of your thoughtfulness.
Naturally, almost everything worth gifting is on your radar, from the most obviously wanted items that make your friends’ eyes light up to the little things that your family members mentioned in passing and you locked in on and scooped up. But in case you still have a few blank spots on your gift list, we’re coming to the rescue. This year, Free People has you covered when it comes to stylish gifts. Seriously, you can score everything that tops the wish lists of your nearest and dearest, from fanciful accessories (jewelry! sequins!) to the coziest knits. Here are ten picks you’ll be so excited to give this holiday season. A word to the wise: you just might want to negotiate borrowing rights. It’s one way to turn these into gifts that keep on giving.
A handmade gift like this colorful hat feels incredibly special and shows extra thoughtfulness—even if you didn’t make it yourself. This topper is a stylish way to add personality to any winter outfit. Plus, how fun are the chunky pom and dainty dangling tassels?
Rather than give your aunt or mother-in-law yet another robe, go the outerwear route with this faux-fur jacket. Modern touches like the exaggerated collar and dropped shoulders add dimension, so it pairs flawlessly with everything from denim to workwear to athleisure.
Cashmere crewnecks are a gifting staple—and for good reason; cashmere feels so luxe and warms up winter. Mix things up with this collared cardi for a fun update on the classic; the poppy pink hue will instantly brighten your giftee’s day.
Few gifts are more prized than jewelry, especially a darling pop-of-color piece like this one. It’ll stand out in a ring stack or make for an elegant accent when worn on its own. A timeless treasure, indeed.
Upgrade your sister’s hoodie game with this vegan jacket, lined with faux shearling. Though it’s luxe enough to layer with a body-skimming knit dress or jeans, she can always toss it on with leggings or PJs to elevate her vibe for coffee runs and grocery shopping.
Think outside the (sequined) box with this glittering bralette. It’s the type of piece your BFF probably wouldn’t buy herself but will certainly love to wear as a flirty wink beneath oversize shirts and blazers.
Between the cozy ribbing, shawl collar, and toggle front, this blue cardigan will strike a chord for your vintage-loving fashionista. Pro tip: It looks achingly cool with slouchy trousers and a trendy pair of chunky loafers.
Some may view scarves like socks—perfectly functional, but perhaps not the most exciting gift to receive. Change their minds with this knitted design, guaranteed to add some flair to any layered winter look.
It doesn’t get better (or more luxe) than swathing yourself in an oversized, plush coat on a chilly day. To put it simply: This gift is guaranteed to be a major hit this year and for seasons to come.
A statement knit is sure to go the distance in any wardrobe—especially when it comes in an easily wearable, neutral shade. This one features a cropped fit and bell sleeves, adding a dose of freshness that your best friend, mom, or sister will love (and you will, too, when she loans you an extra sweater on a chilly evening). Layering goals, achieved.
