'Tis the season—for velvet and too much prosecco, yes, but also for honing your gift-giving philosophy.
It’s the chicest of skills, perhaps because it’s so difficult: How do you strike the balance between novelty and affordability? Intimacy and invasiveness? What do you get for the person who has everything?
To help us answer these questions, CULTURED's fashion editor-at-large Ali Pew turns to our own North Stars of the year—a selection of icons who graced the magazine’s pages in 2024—for inspiration. Is there a Travis Scott in your life? Gift him a Louis Vuitton snowboard. What about an irrefutably glamorous Venus Williams type? We have just the vintage ice bucket you’re looking for.
Below, dive into our edit of the best treasures of the season—for logo lovers, homebodies, and party girls alike.
