The Generation X young woman has a unique, and chic style of her own. Designers in fashion today have rocked the runways with clothing lines to enhance the personality, and style of this unique and fun generation. This article will review the top ten gift ideas for females 21 to 26 years of age covering clothing, electronics, fragrance, jewelry and a host of other grate gift ideas for this age group, with prices ranging from inexpensive, to moderate to expensive.
Starting with the basic wardrobe item, yet it is in demand for the season. The”Skinny Black Pant” from The Gap is one of the seasons’ hottest items. A black pair of pants is a basic wardrobe item, and actually every female could certainly use more than one pair. At The Gap’s price of $48.00, make someone happy and pick up several pair. They are sure to be pleased – Audrey Hepburn certainly was in The Gap commercial advertising the pants.
The next top ten gift idea for females 21 to 26 years of age is one of the versatile Bell-Sleeved V-Neck Cardigans from Old Navy. This is a versatile piece in a natural white color can be worn beyond this season. Cinched with a wide belt, and worn over a skirt of jeans, this is a look that commands attention and screams fashionista. At a mere $34.50 you can’t go wrong budget wise, or taste wise. If sold out, my next favorite choice is the Cable-Knit Faux Fur trim hoodie sweater in natural white for $36.50.
Boots are hot as always. Definitely one of the top ten gift ideas for the season, there are so many choices. A big fad right now seems to be the ankle length booties. I fell in love with a pair at the Rampage web site. Their Elsa Suede Ankle Boot, which comes in black only, has a rounded toe, with ruched styling in front, it has a small bow in the back and a pointed 3-inch heel. All of this styling for the small price of $89.00. Now if you really want to splurge and can afford it, go to Coach. They have the loveliest pair of boots that are fashionable, and look like cowboy boots. Yes, the Texan has escaped from me! Visit the Coach Web site and take a gander at the “Sara” boots for $498.00. I have been a Coach fan for years, and I promise these boots are worth the price, and will probably outlast the person.
No matter the location, East, West, South or North, young women can always use a little leather. I found a very inexpensive Black lamb blazer from Wilson’s leather for $128.00. This is a gift that will last a lifetime with the proper care. Having purchased several leather jackets from Wilson’s over the year, I know their quality of leather, and it is excellent.
One must also have a new bag to go with all of these other new items. This age group loves everything, but one designer in particular that seems to go over well is the “Juicy Couture” line of bags. A popular item this season is the Juicy Couture “Cara” Quilted Tote for $225.00. It comes in a variety of colors. I also like the “Sophie” Key Charm Shopper for $395.00 in black. Visit Nordstrom’s for availability.
Let’s look at one of the top ten gift ideas in the electronics department. There is no way you can go wrong in this department. Look at the Samsung imagine MP3 Player K5. They have introduced the first MP3 player with slide out speakers that allow one to share music with others. The price for 2GB is $210.00 and for 4GB is $260.00. The look is very sleek and unique. It looks like a black bar when not in use. This is a sure shot winner.
There are so many fragrances now that it’s hard to decide on one. One for certain however that falls in the top ten gift ideas for the female 21 to 26 years of age is Sara Jessica Parker’s “Lovely.” The fragrance is as the name, lovely. Normally selling for around $65.00, you can usually get a gift set for the same price around the holidays. Check with your major department stores.
Philosophy offers a great gift with “The Candy Cane Case” this year. Certain to be among the top ten picks, for $38.00 you receive Philosophy’s 3-in-1 peppermint scented shampoo, shower gel, bubble bath, also the moisturizing body soufflé’, along with a tube of lip gloss all packaged nicely in a pretty candy cane case for holiday giving. Check major department stores for availability.
For years young women have been thrilled with Tiffany’s fine silver pieces. If the young woman in your life doesn’t already own the signature Return to Tiffany’s heart tab bracelet, what better time to buy her one than this holiday season. Available at Tiffany’s only for $175.00, gift wrapped in their signature turquoise colored paper, this is a gift that will be cherished for a lifetime. These items are carried exclusively at Tiffany’s.
A MAC Gift Set always goes over well with this age group. This season Viva Glam, which is the line that donates all proceeds towards AIDS Research, and funding to support people living with HIV/AIDS, offers a beautiful line of colors for lips and nails. Always a quality product MAC can be found at Nordstrom’s, as well as independent MAC Counters in the major shopping malls. Always winners, Viva Glam Lipstick and Viva Glam Lipglass costs $14.00. Viva Glam is sold at an excellent price for an excellent product, with proceeds going for a worthwhile human cause. This is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Make your holiday season a giving one this year.
