It doesn’t take much to get fashion bloggers talking about shopping! We asked some of our blogging friends about the first gifts they’ll buy and which shops they plan on hitting first:
Vahni of Grit and Glamour
I’m hitting BCBG in hopes of scoring the Marlene Convertible Satchel in black or grey, and BCBG’s supercool hinged Floral Ring…for me, of course. I have a tremendous weakness for massive handbags and rings! Since I’m heading to Australia for Christmas and it’s summer there, I’m also looking for tunics or minidresses by Free People—a label I’ve really come to love over the last year.

For my friends I like small but nice gifts – year for year we decide not to buy anything for each other, but well, it never works! So, I’m considering some eye-catching accessories like the pearl necklace by H&M or that purple velvet bow tie by Swagger and Swoon. I also adore these checked ear muffs by Burberry or the faux fur ones by John Lewis, which are totally trendy this year.
Since my brother moved out I love to make him presents of furnishings and cookbooks. I can’t help but always find perfect stuff at Butlers.
This year, the choice of the perfect gift for my parents puzzles me the most! I like to give them something they can join together, but I still can’t make up my mind…
PS: You can’t go wrong with Gossip Girl – the complete first and second season!

I always have to buy my momjii dolls for my closest friends! There a little bit cliched and perhaps even a bit twee but its a tradition I have practiced for years and I love the fact that they have a space for a message. I like to choose the Momjii doll acording to their personality or because of what they mean to me, Clever Clogs for my bezzie (because she is, but I love her for it!), Giggles for my friend who makes me laugh when I need her to and Pea for my little sister for she is very tiny and always wears green!
I always Holiday shop in Ludlow, they have a brilliant little shop called The Silver Pear which sells my Momjii dolls. Then there’s the Ludlow Medieval Christmas Fayre, which I strongly recommend to anyone who loves to buy unusual or quirky Christmas gifts.

For my holiday shopping I will go to London, where I will pay a visit to Topshop where I can pick up something for my boyfriend, my friend and perhaps also something a for myself. I love how they always are right on trend at an affordable price which let’s you play with your style without ruining the budget.
The first gift is definitely for my boyfriend, because he puts up with me and my blogging all night! I think I‘ll get him a really cool leather jacket.
Steff of KaKofonieofsi(gh)lenS
I live in Canada, almost solely shop online, and do not enjoy human stampedes. Nonetheless, I love helping indie designers go from “being in the red” to “being in the black”! Also, I need to get my dad and sister gifts for Christmas. So, this holiday season may find me quietly clicking around Patricia Ayres’ Etsy shop to pick up a couple (or three) of her gorgeous Artisanal Unisex scarves.
