Getting ready for a holiday party isn’t just about looking great, it’s about feeling great. What better way to make someone’s holidays perfect than with gifts that’ll have them impress at both their holiday work event and the family gathering at abuelita’s – that somehow ends up being fancier than a black tie event – because that’s the Latine way. You have to keep in mind the fashion show las primas will put on in la sala!
From gifts that will help a loved one relax, to prepare them to face the well-intentioned tías, to ones that will have them stand out even among a Navidad-crazed familia, here’s a gift guide filled with items that will make you the favorite of whoever is on the receiving end.
