Gift Idea for Everyone

Accessorizing is one of the oldest forms of personal expression, yet one of the more modern gift alternatives. In fashion, the hottest accessories include everything from necklaces made out of wood to sequined sashes. Need more options? Well, here are some other in-style gift suggestions:

Handbags are an absolute fashion must for every season. There was a time when a simple pocketbook did the trick. But these days, we’re barraged with an endless selection of handbags, shoulder bags, clutches and totes. If you want to buy all the rage, then look for big, fruity and anything metallic. The selection of larger hobos, totes and shoulder bags has expanded exponentially. And in case you’re wondering, cherries happen to be the most popular fruit print on handbags right now. Oh, guess what? You’re shopping isn’t quite through. Although a handbag is an accessory, there are many ways to accessorize one. Adding details such as jewels, clip and tie-ons will spruce up any ordinary or already embellished handbag. Don’t forget the metallic ribbon!

If handbags aren’t her thing or if she owns just about every one on the planet, jewelry is next on the list. Currently, jewelry has two faces: styles that have taken on a look of old-world Bohemian and tribal Africa, and a softer side with vintage making a huge comeback. A worldwide fashion phenomenon is the look of tribal beads. Whether wooden, bone or plastic, the look is chunky ethnic inspired and resembles something a cannibal might wear. Indian coin jewelry is another fashion must-have, which ties in with the Bohemian trend. In the vintage department, antique brooches tend to be the most versatile piece. Also look for traditional jewelry in rich, warm colors (royal blue and olive green are two great examples) and textures. Multi-strands, mixed stones and various finishes will add the final touch to her look.

Other possible gift options include umbrellas and belts. With a trendy umbrella, you can help her weather the rain in style. The utility of an umbrella is not just to protect one from rain or sun, but also for use as a fashion statement. So, look for warm colors, odd shapes and prints. Also, stock her up with a variety of belts in different sizes and shapes. These need to be in her closet this season and all seasons.

Try a fashionable gift for something different. Not the usual pricey labels, but unique and limited edition creations by individual designers. Whether clothes, jewelry or accessories, these exciting and chic gifts will make a statement about the type of gift giver you are.
