The holidays can sneak up on us, despite us knowing the entire year that they’re looming. With all of the end-of-the-year hubbub, it’s easy to get caught empty-handed and find yourself in need of a last-minute gift idea.
1. Lucky Brand Women’s Scoop Neck Pointelle Sweater ($90): Upgrade your loved one’s sweater game this season. Forget about boring basics; the knits out now are bold, bright, color blocked, and cool. Exhibit A: This pullover that is guaranteed to please.
2. Kate Spade New York Small Square Lever-Back Drop Earrings ($48): Who doesn’t love festive jewelry this time of year (or any time of year)? Make someone’s holiday bright with confetti-inspired baubles that bring just a hint of sparkle to any outfit.
3. Steve Madden Women’s Featherl Loafer Flat ($90): For the trendy lady in your life, snag a pair of leopard flats. The animal print is everywhere this season — and since it’s such a classic, these will still be in style long past the holidays.
4. Levi’s Women’s Sherpa Oversized Belted Motorcycle Jacket ($100): Just because it’s cold out, that doesn’t mean the cool girl in your life has to store her moto jacket for the season. Gift her with a winter-weather version like this fluffy Levi’s sherpa jacket.
5. French Connection Women’s Woolen Check Scarf ($58): A cozy plaid scarf is an always-pleasant accent piece to neutral winter coats — and an oversized option can double as a travel shawl when the weather warms up.
6. Marc Jacobs Block Letter Snake Zip Phone Wristlet ($89): For the minimalist in your life, score a wristlet that will hold your friend’s phone and credit cards all in one place. In red snake print, this is a fuss-free accessory that’s functional and fashionable.
7. Vince Camuto Womens Slider Lariat Necklace ($35): We’re suckers for a sparkly necklace — especially one that gives us options. This metallic slider necklace is adjustable in length, so there’s no worrying about whether it will fit.
8. Billabong Junior’s Kim Beanie ($25): A not-so-neutral winter hat is always a bright idea. The last-minute addition to your shopping list will for sure get a warm feeling when you gift her this beanie.
