For the holidays, we asked our editors to tell us what they’re coveting for Christmas—and what they’re planning on giving to all the special people in their life. See the list below for some major seasonal inspiration from InStyle’s fashion editor, Ali Pew.
The Gift I’m Hoping to Get:
“I really hope I get this Canada Goose Solaris Parka ($695; bloomingdales.
com)! It’s warm enough in case we get a Polar Vortex again!”My Fantasy Gift:
“… and if I lived in a dream world I’d want this McQueen shearling ($9,995; net-a-porter.com) for the Polar Vortex. How often is something this chic and incredibly warm?”
Under $50:
“I love all Aesop products but this hand balm (Aesop Ressurection Aromatique Hand Balm, $27; aesop.com) is amazing for the dry winter; I put it on all day and the light aroma never overwhelms.”
For a Child:
“The best part of being a child are super exciting gifts you want to immediately play with. I love this bungalow playhouse (The Land of Nod Bungalow Play Home, $699; landofnod.com); it’s a perfect gift for boys, girls and basically any age!”
For a Co-Worker:
“I find I can’t ever have enough pouches, for the office, for travel, for makeup, or to use as a clutch. They’re the most multipurpose item (Comme des Garcons Neon Leather Pouch, $145; net-a-porter.com)!”
My Style-Obsessed Bestie:
“Besties know besties best! My bestie would love this menswear loafer with the cool platform sole (Oliver Clark Womens Natural Loafer $300; oliverclarknyc.com). I thinks it’s one of the few people you can buy shoes for.”
The Man in My Life:
“My husband loves any sort of adventurous toy.
This surfboard (SALT Surf Shortboard, $520; saltsurf.com) is perfect for looking to warmer weather and I love the minimalistic design.”For Mom:
“This Tiffany gold atlas bangle ($3,200; tiffany.com)
is a classic. My mom will love how narrow it is to stack with a watch or another bracelet, never can wrong with jewelry.”
A Hostess Gift:
“Everyone loves a candle, but Byredo’s scents (Cotton Poplin Candle, $40; neimanmarcus.com) fill your entire house with the best smells!”
For a Tween or Teen:
“Tweens and teens are the hardest to shop for but by giving them a 3D printer (MakerBot Replicator Mini Compact 3D Printer, $1,375; microsoftstore.com), they can print out whatever gift they would like.”
