19 No-Fail Stylish Gifts That Definitely Won’t Be Re-Gifted
Just about everyone wants to do a good job gift-giving. Most of us care deeply about our loved ones. We want to bring genuine joy to their lives—and genuine smiles to their faces. We want them to have everything they need, everything they want, and some stuff they might not even know they want, too. The only issue? Gift-giving is hard. None of us dream of being the person whose gift goes unappreciated—or worse, re-gifted. How can we ensure the stylish, useful gifts we’re buying will actually turn out to be as stylish and useful as we expect?
One no-fail approach is to shop directly from someone’s wishlist. But if you don’t have access to one—or if you want to go off-book—try gifting your loved one an experience. Concerts and vacations are obvious options, but they aren’t the only way forward. If your loved one likes traveling, get them an adorable beach towel that will inspire their next Instagram post (and maybe even their next trip). If they love gardening but are stuck in the city, get them a grow-your-own-garden kit fit for a window sill. Candles, spa kits, and journals all fit this mold, too. When in doubt, buy your loved one something to use, and they’ll use it.
And remember, you can never go wrong with an investment piece. Give your loved one that exquisite necklace they’d be reluctant to buy themselves. Treat them to that luxury cashmere sweater they’ll be wearing for years to come. Buy them that chic bracelet, those adorable earrings, that versatile scarf. Sleek silhouettes and quality materials never go out of style, making investment gifts a genuinely practical and endlessly stylish option.
