This holiday season, QFIN’s top picks for gift-giving are centered around the idea of functionality. The best gifts are those that can be worked into seasonal or everyday use, items that will transcend trend cycles and become well-worn favorites. The holiday season often creates excuses for excess consumerism and money spent on fast-fashion pieces that will barely make it into the new year. Gift-giving is a beautiful love language, but it’s important to be thoughtful with your choices, and not feed into unhealthy cycles of wasted money on overconsumption. The following gift ideas are cute and creative, but still functional, ensuring that their receivers will love them (and you) for the long run.
Happy Holidays!
