Janelle Lloyd has had a textured career in style that has earned her many labels — assistant buyer, stylist, MBA, and now, digital influencer. She applies her toolkit to each post on her blog, WaitYouNeedThis.com, inviting her readers to live more stylishly every day by showcasing her covetable ensembles, beauty finds, and spirited New York City lifestyle.
The holidays are right around the corner, which means you need to pick thoughtful gifts even for those hard-to-buy-for people in your life. Here, Lloyd has rounded up her top gift picks for the fashionable — what she’s gifting, and what she hopes to receive.
A black hobo bag is a must-have piece for any gal’s closet. The two straps make it easy to carry on the go; plus, the longer, sporty strap is both comfy and on trend. And despite its cool-girl slouchy shape, the pockets inside keep all my belongings organized.
Get this for the documentarian of your crew whose phone is packed with pics.
Wine of the month, by the glass! This gift is equally ideal for the wine enthusiast or your basic AF friend or family member.
I’m a big collector of coffee table books and love gifting them too. I love this one for a dose of pretty pictures and simple techniques to foster good vibes in your space.
This compact wallet packs a colorful punch and won’t break the bank. You’d be surprised just how many cards you can fit in this holder, and the side pocket even makes room for some coins. It’s the perfect gift for a bestie that she’ll use everyday.
For the girlboss who hustles hard and always puts self-care at the bottom of her to-do list. These oils will help her turn it up or turn it off with ease.
This one’s on my list this year. It’s the perfect size, comes in classic colors, and has a built-in battery to charge your devices so you’ll be ready to jump right off the plane and onto Instagram.
This is a smartwatch for the classic at heart. I get all the functionality of a smartwatch — app and calendar notifications, fitness tracking, even snapping pictures for me by syncing with my smartphone — with the look of a high-end timepiece. Plus, the timeless style and neutral band goes with just about everything. I love to stack mine with my favorite silver bracelets. In fact, I love this one so much, I might just be gifting it to myself.
Add this little kit to the carry-on or as a classy stocking stuffer. It’s perfect for the jetsetter in your life!
If you’re looking for something low-key sentimental, I’m into these bracelets with simple messages that remind that special person in your life to “Make Waves” or simply that they are loved.
