Barbara & Karen are full of suggestions for completing your list in Virtual Styling #294. Gift-giving can be surprisingly fun once you realize how many cozy, stylish options are out there.
Sweaters, for example, are always a safe bet because they strike the perfect balance between practical and personal. Whether you choose something soft and oversized or a more fitted, classic knit, a good sweater feels like a warm hug that lasts all winter.
Knit hats are another gift that shows thoughtfulness without overthinking. They’re cute, functional, and great for anyone who loves cold-weather walks or just appreciates a good accessory moment. Pick one with a fun pom-pom or stick to a simple, chic style—either way, it’s an easy win. Plus, they pair perfectly with a great scarf, which turns the whole gift into a matching little winter set.
Speaking of scarves, they’re one of those gifts that never go out of style. A soft wool or cashmere scarf instantly upgrades any outfit, and it’s something you’ll reach for again and again. If you want to step things up, faux fur pieces always make a statement. A faux fur wrap or hat feels luxe and festive, perfect for someone who loves a bit of glam.
Put any of these items together, and you’ve got a thoughtful, cozy, and completely delightful gift lineup!
