I'm a Type-A Gift-Giver—17 Top-Tier Items That Are Bound to Impress

I know being a perfectionist can have a negative connotation, but there's one area where I allow myself to be completely, shamelessly type A: gift-giving. I quite simply refuse to give a gift that won't be cherished by the recipient. I have a keen sense of what people actually want, so naturally, I did the majority of my holiday shopping at Banana Republic. This isn't a new thing for me—every year since I was young, a trip to Banana Republic with my mom and sister meant that holiday shopping had officially commenced.

If you're a savvy, type-A gift-giver too, you're in luck: You can get 40% off regular-priced styles from November 2 through 11. However, there are some exclusions to keep in mind: gift cards; leather, suede, and cashmere apparel; designer collections and collaborations; bags; art, home, and vintage merchandise; third-party branded merchandise; and merchandise shipped and sold by third-party sellers. Packaging, shipping, and applicable taxes are also not included in the sale price. Keep scrolling to see all the on-sale and full-priced picks I'm eyeing below. I guarantee these finds will impress everyone on your list.
