With Hanukkah less than a month away and about 40 days ‘til Santa, it’s time to kick into gear with our third annual gift guides. You love them, so we go hard on these — sourcing started in May! We’ve pulled together a collection of shoppable categories that will roll out over the coming weeks, kicking off with gifts for the coolest girl you know.
She’s the one who’s hard to shop for because if she wants it, she buys it herself. Her taste is elusive, so gifting her genuinely gives you a tic. I know her because I (kind of) am her. And I have some ideas.
The genuinely standout gift is a first-look membership to The Real Real. Ideal for the fashion lover, thrifter, or vintage collector, the First Look membership allows the most dedicated shoppers early access to the site’s newest and most collectible pieces before public release. It’s also where the best bargains and discounts are found. Starting at $12 a month, it’s a cost-effective way to give a luxurious present.
Of course, if you want to take it over the top, you could also shop The Real Real for a killer vintage watch or Hermes Kelly bag. I doubt she’ll care that it’s pre-loved.
