Gifts Extraordinaire

Dec 19, 2023

Happy Holidays, babies!!!!! For our gift to you, lovely readers, we have compiled a list of our very unique gift suggestions. Read it and weep!

Wharton Warrior

So your friend is a business tycoon who who chooses to wear suits on Sundays. They have it all … or at least have access to it all. This can be overwhelming to a gift-giver, thinking of the perfect gift for someone who can easily buy themself your gift and more. The key? Personalization. Show how much you care by gifting your person something so niche and unique that it’ll never go out of style, like a personalized “history of your favorite team” NYT gift. Maybe knit them a hat of their two favorite colors. Or you can get them a nice Polo Ralph Lauren scarf… whichever works.

2. Hippie Mama

If you sympathize with having a mom who always looks for the alternative medicinal route, is a self-proclaimed yogi, and likes to do sage-cleansing rituals, look no further. This holiday season, we have a few suggestions for the hippie mamas (who just might live on the Upper East Side).

3. The AD Obsessed

You know when you walk into your friend’s apartment and everything is so perfect and cute you just want to … gag? Well hold your breath, ladies, because you’ll be sure to add to their decor overload with these gifts.

4. Your Bad Smelling Co-Worker

No explanation needed. Suggest deodorant fashionably.

5. Cheugy Cousin

We all have one and we love them so much. Which is why we want to buy them the best of the best but also something they would love. So please pick from any of these very safe, very familiar gifts.

6. Gorp Core Brother

I may be alone on this one, but I hate gorpcore because it has allowed my straight, granola, brother to unapologetically wear Patagonia to dinner. So, if you want to still let him be who he is, just a little more elevated, take a look at these options.

7. Balthazar Bestie

We know her and we love her. She drinks filthy martinis in red leather booths, wears dangly earrings, and could teach a class in flirting with bartenders.

8. Queerbating Cinephile Guy Friend

Some of us are still in college and have come across a boy who paints his nails black while watching Fallen Angels. He also loves to leave girls on read. Well, these are for him!
