Who is the Fashionista in your life? Sister? Friend? Grandma? (It happens! Anna’s no spring chicken ya know…) The Fashionista is the girl to whom hallways are runways. Her taste is designer and she’s always in pursuit of the latest “IT” thing. We all know one.

Since it might be a tiny bit impractical to drop a G or two on a bag while in a recession (or EVER), why not give her something designer-inspired? Get the look and quality minus the price tag — what’s not to love about that?

All items below have designs derivative of costly counterparts, but not one is over $45. So whether she drools for Balenciaga, Burberry, Michele, Fendi or Tiffany, no need to cry into your wallet because the gang’s all here.

Alright, Daddy’s Girls: raise your hands.

*raises hand*

Dads take care of us even when we don’t do that killer puppy dog face, and it’s time to return the favor!  We know Dad never expects anything for Christmas (”Your presence is all I ask.”  Right?), but wouldn’t it just feel good to see the pleasant surprise on his face when you present him with a nice little box with a pretty totally manly bow on it??  And then to have something in it other than a CD from an artist you think he should like will blow him away.

Check out some of the classy gift ideas below, and don’t be afraid to tell him how excited you are for him to open the present from his most cherished little girl in the world!
