Need to know what to get that 20-something woman who buys herself everything? For that person who is glamourous, and fashion obsessed? Whose taste might be more expensive for her own good? Well... I am that woman, so I have you covered. This 2021 gift guide is perfect for your #Extra and over-the-top friend.
Stocking Stuffers
This year, I thought it would be more fun to suggest a themed stocking, so I present the Breakfast at Tiffany's stocking. (Sorry if your girl is not a Hepburn girl).
A Tiffany Blue Sequin Stocking
I mean, this one seems self-explanatory.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon
This is the exact lipstick Audrey Hepburn wears in the movie, so it's an essential piece to have in this Breakfast at Tiffany's stocking!
Oversized Black Sunglasses
Look a cute pair of sunglasses is important to every woman's wardrobe whether they're Tiffany's themed or not.
Rhinestoned Pearl Choker
Another iconic part of the movie is the layers of pearls Audrey wears in the opening scene. This choker will have you feeling just as glamourous, but at a much cheaper cost.
Holly Golightly Sleep Mask
The most glamourous sleep mask to ever exist is simply a must!
Purple Tassel Earrings
These go perfectly with the mask. #IYKYK
Tiara Set
Look Audrey wears a tiara a few times in the movie and it's the perfect glam touch to complete her outfits.
Prosecco Gummy Bears
Look every stocking needs something sweet, and this #extra woman would want it to be a bit more sophisticated.
Jewelry
The key to buying jewelry is to know a few things about the woman you're buying. Is she more of a gold girl or a silver girl? (I'm for sure gold). Does she prefer simple pieces or statement pieces? (Oddly enough I think les is more when it comes to jewelry.) I personally love mine to be rhinestoned and really add that hint of shimmer. For this guide I've chosen some simple gold pieces that could never be a miss.
Kendra Scott, Davie Gold Pendant Necklace in Iridescent Drusy
An #extra girl loves a drusy moment! It sparkles in a way that is stunning without being too much.
Francesca's Morgan Huggie Hoop Set
Hoops are back and better than ever. This is the perfect gift because she can wear them at the same time or choose the size the best fits her outfit.
Kate Spade Glamourous Strands Bracelet
The name of this says it all... it's glamourous. Any fashion lover would be obsessed!
Uncommon James Tesoro Ear Cuff
This ear cuff has pearls, rhinestones, and is perfect for anyone who loves bling!
Handbags and Luggage
These days your handbag and your luggage make your outfit. So, while Chanel might be out of most people's price range, there are plenty of affordable ones that any girl would love.
Steve Madden Bvyper Mint Green
This handbag from Steve Madden is simply to die for! I love the hint of sparkle and the beautiful mint green color!
Guess Katey Girlfriend Satchel
The color of this bag is absolutely gorgeous and would have any woman swooning over it!
Gianni Bini Metallic Top Handle Clutch Bag
I think every woman needs a glam bag that can go with basically everything and this bag is it!
Vintage Luggage Set
These days your luggage set is just as important as your travel outfit (that is if you care about looking like a celebrity travelling), so this one is perfect for just that. It also looks similar to the Tiffany & Co luggage, but at a much cheaper price, so it's totally worth it.
Makeup Sets
Honestly, my favorite gifts during the holidays are makeup sets. So many brands drop amazing Christmas collections and sets and it's almost impossible to choose just one.
Too Faced Christmas Around the World
For Christmas this year Too Faced released several different makeup sets inspired by various cities. As a city girl myself, I'm obsessed with each one. This Christmas Around the World Set is inspired by New York, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro, so it's perfect for any woman who loves any of these locations.
Too Faced Christmas in the City
See the set from above, but make it Paris, Beverly Hills, and Rome.
Too Faced Christmas in London
London might be a stand-alone city in these Christmas sets, but it doesn't make it any less fab. In fact, it's most definitely the poshest of all the sets!
Melted in Paris
Lipsticks that make me feel like I'm in Paris? Yes please!
Yves Saint Laurent Kiss and Couture Trio Set
Speaking of lipsticks that make you feel Parisian, this YSL set does just that and makes you feel high fashion all at the same time!
Ardell Holiday Wispies Lashes
False lashes really can complete any makeup look which is why options are important! This is exactly why this set makes the perfect gift for any fashionable makeup lover!
Hair Care
Any Cosmo girl knows that the rules of hair care are simple and finite, and just like Elle Woods, any Cosmo girl would love to hair products and accessories underneath the tree.
Lulus Pearl Hair Clip
I love adding pearl clips to any outfit to dress it up a bit. This pearl clip is perfect for any half up-half down hairstyle, and any #extra girl would love it!
Kristin Ess Hair Velvet Bow Black Slide Black
Look I didn't know how to feel about the bow trend making a comeback, but after seeing some of my favorite influencers rock it, I'm all here for it! Seriously, it can elevate any outfit!
Kitsch Gold Open Shape Claw Clip
A French twist with a claw clip can instantly make you look put together. Make the claw clip gold, and it adds a bit of elegance.
Amika Bust Your Brass Blonde Mane-tenance Wash, Treat, & Style Set
Sorry, but this one is for all my blondes out there! It's a known fact that Amika makes some of the best purple shampoo out there, and this set is guaranteed to stop your blonde from becoming brassy and will have you looking your absolute best!
Drybar The Mixoligist & Magic Makers Kit
There is nothing better than getting a stunning blowout except for being able to have one from the comfort of your own home. This set will give you those stunning blown out curls that only a salon can.
Shoes
It's true what Marilyn Monroe once said, "give a girl the right pair of shoes, and she can conquer the world." This what make shoes the perfect give for any girl. The right pair can make you feel confident and capable of just about anything!
Adidas Superstar OT Tech Shoes
It's shocking that I'm suggesting white sneakers on an #extra gift guide. However, these white platform sneakers are stylish and will go with just about every outfit making them a perfect present!
Call It Spring Bisou Heels
A black pump is a classic shoe that every woman needs in her wardrobe. This pair from Call It Spring has extra detailing that makes it even more fun and chic. Plus, they're sustainable!
Gianni Bini Rowann Rhinestone Loafers
Loafers were a huge trend during Fall/ Winter Fashion month and look like they just came straight off the set of Gossip Girl. Anyone who loves high fashion has to have a pair!
Steve Madden Lynden Pink Patent
Remember that patent leather white bootie trend? Well... these booties are their cuter, pink cousin and an absolute need!
Public Desire Midnight Blue Satin Wrap Around Court Heels
Gorgeous Tiffany Blue color? Rhinestones? So, the perfect pair of heels does exist!
Clothing
Like I said last year, I personally do not like getting clothes as a gift, unless I have picked them out beforehand. However, I picked a few elevated basic pieces that any fashion lover would be obsessed with!
Juicy Coutre OG Bling Velour Hoodie and Track Pant
I promise you're still reading a gift guide for 2021 and not 2008! Juicy Couture is back and hopefully here to stay!
Agolde Lana Straight
Jeans may seem like a very basic gift, but black jeans always look a tad more sophisticated. Make it a straight leg jean with some distressing and they're a total fashion statement!
Vero Moda Cami Top with Crystal Straps
A camisole is a basic that always looks put together. Add a rhinestone strap it becomes both fun and fashion forward!
Nasty Gal Boxy Oversized Button Up Blazer
I'm glad to report that the oversized blazer trend isn't going anywhere, so why not go for a bright, bold color? I, personally, always love a hot pink moment!
Majorelle Bia Bustier Top and Bia Mini Skirt
This two-piece set from Majorelle is simply adorable! The tweed fabric always looks expensive thanks to Chanel, but luckily this set is nowhere near as expensive!
Books
Whether it's a guilty pleasure read or a chic coffee table book, a book always makes a great gift! I personally prefer books that tale me on a glamourous escape whether it's getting lost in designer collections or a Fashion-centered rom-com.
Yves Saint Laurent the Complete Haute Couture Collections
Since YSL finally made its return to Paris Fashion Week, this makes the perfect gift for ant Fashion lover. Plus, the bubblegum pink cover would look great on any coffee table.
Audrey and Givenchy: A Fashion Love Affair by Cindy De La Hoz
Before there were influencers there were muses. One of the most iconic muse/ designer pairings was Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy. This book provides a glamourous escape into the most fashionable affair.
Nine Women, One Dress by Jane L. Rosen
This book follows the story of nine different women as the same little black dress helps to change the course of their lives. (Based on this title I'm sure this premise is anything but shocking.) With nine different leads I'm sure there is at least one character for everyone to relate to, and it proves how the right dress can give you confidence.
The Knockoff by Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza
The book gives Devil Wears Prada vibes and truly that's all I need to know to want to read it!
Technology
We're living in a world where having up to date technology is just necessary.
Selfie Ring Light
Look I have a large ring light, but it can be hard to take it places. This portable one is easy to take everywhere and makes less of a scene when you want to nail that TikTok dance in public!
Any Working Laptop!!!!!!
Okay so this one is entirely personal because it's truly the only thing I want for Christmas! I mean try working off of one that has to be plugged into work and feels like it weighs 50 pounds. It's not a good time!
So, there you have my recommendations for this year! Remember that as long as you put thought into your gifts, they're guaranteed to love it! As, *NSYNC says, "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!"
XOXO,
Kristin
