Welcome to my second holiday gift guide in as many days! There are SO many great choices out there. This guide offers some gifts for folks who like want to be more stylish, like to try new things, travel and like gifts that give back. I could probably write 20 more versions but don’t worry, I won’t. Check out my Gift Guide for Fit Folks – there are some sure things on there for the fitness focused folks in your life. I am also planning a stocking stuffers post, so stay tuned! Without further ado – awesome gifts for everyone many people in your life…

For the Stylish/Wanna Be Stylish:

Stitch Fix Gift Card – It may be too late to find the perfect outfit for the the gal or guy in your life, but you can get a Stitch Fix gift card. What’s Stitch Fix? It’s an online personal styling service. Stitch Fix has women’s sizes XS-XXL (0-16) and men’s sizes XS-XXL (waist sizes 28-42), as well as maternity and petite clothing. The recipient fills out a style profile. Each month (or time frame that works for them), they receive a shipment with five items. Then, he/she chooses what he/she likes and returns the rest for free. The $20 styling fee is applied toward anything purchased. My fave feature, if you buy all 5 pieces, you get 25% off. I was late to the Stitch Fix party, but I love my quarterly deliveries so far. It’s a great gift!

MyCharge Style Power and Style Power Xtra – Fighting for a plug in the airport or running low on power when you’re on the go is no fun at all.
