With Christmas just 5 days away and barely anytime to seriously shop, odds are you’re running around franticly wondering what to buy for your roommate who “has it all,” your best friend from freshman year, and your dearest high school friends. Now that you’re home for the holidays and can finally relax for the first time since August, the last thing you want to think of is finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. There’s a pick here that will delight her, whoever she is. Each of these gifts are sure to bring a smile on Christmas morning.
1. A Piece of Art
Whether it’s for her room at school or that swanky new office, a painting is the perfect gift to not only brighten a day, but to say, “You mean the world to me.” Here are a few of our personal favorites.

2. A Handwritten Note
Some of the most meaningful gifts are those you can’t buy in a store. My favorite gifts to give (and receive) are handwritten letters that can be cherished forever. When the card is extra adorable (just as these are), double it as a print and pair it with a frame. Thoughtfulness meets decorative.

3. A Curtsy Gift Card
Girls love being the best dressed but hate the price tag that comes with it. A Curtsy Gift Card is the ideal present for your bestie because it’s like you’re giving her 1,000 closets full of Revolve dresses. P.S. Curtsy is the app that lets you rent dresses from each other on college campuses. Don’t have the app yet? Download it here.
