Confession: I Buy My Gifts on Amazon Because Fast Shipping—Here's What I'm Shopping
If you're reading this story, I suspect you too are a last-minute gift shopper. For as long as I can remember, I've been guilty of buying a birthday card on the way to a birthday party or sending an e–gift card for a holiday gift exchange because I forgot to pick out a real one on time. The life of being a procrastinator isn't one I'd recommend, but it is one made much easier thanks to Amazon's speedy shipping (especially on some very chic Shopbop finds, you'll be thrilled to know).
Considering how many events I have coming up between Christmas, Hanukkah, December birthdays, and winter weddings, I have no choice but to get ahead with finding some very special, very stylish gifts for all my friends and family. Check out all of my favorite, editor-approved gifts, and watch your gifting stress melt away.
For the on-trend friend:
I'm pretty sure chic slingback flats are at the top of everyone's wish list right now.
For an under-$30 gift exchange:
For someone delightfully bougie:
For classic style:
For the jewelry fiend:
For the loungewear lover:
Everyone deserves a pair of these infamous fleece-lined leggings with more than 30,000 reviews.
For any who need to be cozy south of their ankles:
An under-$30 slide option that still has an outdoor-friendly sole.
Also, if you didn't know Ugg makes very chic and outdoorsy winter footwear, now you know.
For someone chic yet practical:
From my experience, the Adidas store on Amazon always has Sambas in stock in just about every size and in so many cute colors.
