We've Found The Best Presents For Every Personality Type - And They're All From Urban Outfitters

So many friends, so little time in which to shop for them. Discover the Grazia gift guide on what to buy every person in your inner circle for Christmas 2019. 

We’ve made our list, checked it twice - and it turns out there’s three times as many people to buy for this year than the last. But with a gazillion gift options to choose from for 2019 and each recipient as varied and individual as the last, where to start? 

When we’re stuck in a gifting quandary, there’s always one brand who we know can help us out of a pinch: Urban Outfitters. Now, you may have them placed firmly in your festival wear category in the summer months but Urban Outfitters are honestly one of the best places to buy gifts for multiple people at once, including men, women and yourself. In addition to its signature sportswear, ditsy print dresses and urban accessories, UO's also got loads of great stuff for your kitchen (we're lusting after this Himalayan salt grater), bathroom and beauty cabinet too. There's also some frankly brilliant bedding and furniture pieces, alongside retro gadgets and affordable stocking fillers too. 

But we know that just having options isn’t enough. That’s why we’ve curated a range of the best Urban Outfitters gifts to accommodate every personality type in your friendship group. So, whether you’re buying for your born-again hippy mate, a beauty buff, someone you hardly know or someone who knows you inside out, we’ve found the perfect pressie for them. Better still, you can do a job lot on the shopping too - surely a reason to reward yourself with something shiny whilst you’re at it? 


For The Friend Who Just Moved Home

The Urban Outfitters homeware department has quite the cult following - and for good reason. With everything from Instagram-able bed linens to chic plant pots, cosy throws and even furniture, you really can’t go wrong.

For The Friend Who’s Great In The Kitchen

There’s always one friend who has the rest of you round for dinner. Maybe she’s got the best kitchen, or maybe she’s got the best skills? Either way, reward her for her continuous efforts with something to elevate her work-top or a new recipe book to try out for next time.

For The Friend You Know Intimately

If you confidently know your friend’s size and measurements, Urban Outfitters have some seriously great lingerie gifts this season. 

For The Friend Who Always Tags You On Insta

There’s one person who is the sole reason you have any pictorial evidence of any event. For this amateur photographer, we recommend cutesy cameras, fun books and maybe some of her own favourite digital snaps framed.

For The Friend Who Knows When Mercury Is In Retrograde

The wellness wave is at an all time high and no doubt a few of your friends are riding it. Think outside the box with tarot themed items and crystal accessories.

For The Friend You’ve Known The Longest

Do you remember when Tamagotchis were a thing? Probably around the time you met this friend. Jog her memory with nostalgic gifts that remind her of the good old days - games, pyjamas, framed old photos or her favourite new album on an old school vinyl. Failing that, something smutty only humour honed over the decades would appreciate.

For The Friend Who Needs To Slow Down

It’s no secret that, for many of us, our work/life balance is askew. For the friend who is constantly inundated with requests, running to meetings and taking work home with her, treat her to presents that help her unwind at the end of a hectic day. 

For The Friend Who Went Vegan

Veganism isn’t just about your diet, it’s about your lifestyle so if one of your friend’s has taken the plunge you may have to be a little more eco-conscious when it comes to gift shopping. Avoid beeswax in candles, check the label on make-up and skincare and give leather a miss. 

For The Friend Who Loves Her Fashion

Arguably, this is the easiest friend to buy for. We’ve picked out some of our favourite fashion items, but the shop floor is yours for the taking…

For The Friend Who Loves The Finer Things

If you think you’ve got your friend’s personal style down enough to buy them jewellery, Urban Outfitters has some delicate gold and silver rings, necklaces and bracelets that will make for excellent gifts. Not too sure? A trinket tray or jewellery box is a safe bet.

For The Friend That’s A Beauty Addict

Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas if we didn’t receive a shiny, luxe beauty surprise. Whether they’re into fragrance layering, fancy jade rollers or indulgent bath bits, Urban Outfitters have the lot. 

For Your Secret Santa

Surprise your secret santa with a gift they didn't know they needed - until now. An eco coffee cup for their walk to work, a fun accessories or a way to sneak extra booze into the Christmas party.
