Top Five Christmas Gifts to Give to a Fashion Buff

Give the Gift of Style for Christmas

Do you have someone in your life who loves fashion and style? Do you know a person who has a passion for clothes and a critique for anyone who passes them on the sidewalk? If so, I can think of five things that would be perfect for your stylistic recipient:

1. A $100 gift card to their favorite clothing store

I can imagine your recipient's eyes lighting up when you give them a $100 gift card to the store of their choice. What better way to say Merry Christmas! Now go shopping. Sure, that gift will probably be gone in a matter of hours, but it's the thought that counts.

2. A ticket to an upcoming fashion show

People who are in fashion love going to fashion shows. Whether it's to see the latest styles or get ideas for fashions they're working on themselves, a fashion show ticket would be a great gift for your stylistic friend or family member.

3. Ethnic accessories for clothes they already have (rings, watches, belts, etc)

Depending on what city you live in you'll want to look for the small businesses or the mom-and-pop shops for accessories for your friend. This will require you going into their closet (if you have access like that) and seeing what kind of color schemes they like. Also seeing what kind of accessories they currently possess. Maybe what your friend needs is a purse... maybe a sterling silver ring for her index finger... maybe a good Perry Ellis belt for him... maybe matching accessories for that married couple. Do some research on stores in your area that has accessories that you can't find anywhere else. Anyone can go to Macy's and buy something, well, anyone with money that is. The smaller shops may be more willing to give you deals or discounts and the merchandise there is just as good as in a bigger name-brand store like Macy's.

4. A coupon to make you over
