Christmas is just one month away (where on earth did the year go?), and to save you from panicking in the days leading up, it’s probably best to start pulling together all the gifts you might want to buy. Let’s be honest, purchasing a present for a fashion lover is never easy. One of the worst feelings in the world is buying them an item of clothing and it doesn’t go down well because either it doesn’t fit them (ooh, always awkward) or just isn’t their style.

To help save your blushes, perhaps it’s a safer idea to not buy clothes unless the person you’re buying for has specifically hinted/asked for it and you 100% know their sizing. In light of that, we’ve collated a list of presents (that aren’t specifically Christmas related) for your fashion-loving friend, parent or partner that should, hopefully, always go down a treat (and not completely break the bank!)

Gift Card

Of course, you don’t necessarily need to get them a gift card from Selfridges as most department stores will offer one! Perhaps you don’t know this person too well and are yet to figure out their personal tastes, or you just know they’ll always choose better than you (which is totally okay!)

Perfume Set

Pretty much everyone loves perfume, and yet everyone has their own specific perfume tastes so why not allow them to discover a new favourite fragrance with a set of minis. A plus side to this gift is that you can get both very expensive sets as well as some more affordable ones!

Biography

Sticking with books, you can guarantee that a fashion-based biography or autobiography will be met with glee! Anna by Amy Odell deep dives into the often illusive life of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and is packed full of interviews by those who know her best.
