We know it’s hard to find the right gifts for your loved ones, so we’ve compiled a few fashion and beauty-focused gift guides tailored to a range of interests. Find more right here.
What do Millennials — the seemingly forgotten demographic that was once considered youthful and cool — want for the holidays? To return to 2013, when Barack Obama was president, AI was a movie, brands clamored for our attention and we wore neon statement necklaces with the confidence of those who hadn’t yet been blamed for killing cereal, doorbells, nine-to-five jobs, chain restaurants, banks (?) and soap (??).
JK, who would actually want to re-live their 20s?
Despite what #millennialcore TikToks might suggest, we don’t actually want skinny jeans, ankle socks, avocado toast and student loan forgiveness. (Actually, we’d take that last one.) We’re grown-ass adults with an appreciation for the finer things in life and the world weariness of people much, much older than us. We have taste, we’ve started Botox, and our wish lists definitely don’t include the word “Labubu” (for those of us who even know what that is).
To remind the world that we still exist guide you toward the perfect gift for the Millennial in your life, two proud Fashionista Millennials — Editor-in-Chief Dhani Mau and Beauty & Style Director Steph Saltzman — put together an extensive roundup. It represents what Millennials (or at least this tiny cross-section of them) love most, such as: Alexa Chung, injectables, being cozy, marinating our agèd selves in retinol and peptides, diamonds (lab-grown or not), modern scents with whiffs of nostalgia, owning too many bags and/or pairs of shoes, embracing our natural hair textures (see: the 2000s pin-straight-hair agenda), protecting our brows (see: the 2000s tweeze-and-wax agenda), de-puffing and sleep.
