At Topshop, it’s easy to nab cool gifts for everyone on your “nice” list (at budget-friendly price points) in one quick, and delightfully fun, trip. Within the stylish Topshop Fifth Avenue, there are four floors containing super-giftable merchandise ranging from flashy clothing and shoes to fun handbags, cozy socks and robes. We sent Time Out New York Things to Do editor Jennifer Picht to Topshop Fifth Avenue in search of something fashionable and festive for the best people in her life.

Five gifts from Fifth

For my mom, Cindy

Topshop dalmatian onesie, $65

Festive pajamas: We all have ’em. And if your family is anything like mine, your mother will insist on taking a family photo of everyone sporting their best yuletide morning getup for next year’s Christmas card. Keeping up with traditions, I snagged this incredibly soft Dalmatian-print onesie, which I’m almost certain my mom will wear without shame while opening presents. This zip-up number is the definition of cozy and comes equipped with a hood (dog ears, and all).

For my fierce bestie, Chandra

Topshop sequin ombre jacket, $135

My best friend is such a light in my life, so it only makes sense to buy her a flashy bomber jacket so she can show the rest of the world her sparkle. (Queue the sappy moment.) This sequin ombre jacket is perfect for a stunning New Year’s Eve getup, but can be styled down for a casual-cool look that makes a strong statement. And just imagine how gorgeous it will appear in all our future selfies together?

For my avant-garde coworker, Carla

Topshop Marabou bag, $50

My coworker always comes into the office dressed like she just stumbled off a runway, so I know she would appreciate a gift from one of the hottest retailers in New York. I needed to find something unique, and once I set my eyes on this pink furry handbag, I knew the job was done. I’m pretty positive that this medium-size carryall will garner her plenty of attention from style bloggers and Insta photographers walking around NYC, too.

For my sister, Jane

Topshop MARTHA Glitter sock boots, $130

I love my sister, but my two favorite things about her are her knack for accessorizing and that we share the same shoe size. When I spotted the MARTHA glitter sock boots, I instantly envisioned her pairing them with dark-wash jeans or a simple, little black dress. Plus, the soft, flexible, sock-like material makes them easy and comfortable to wear. I’m crossing my fingers that she lets me “borrow” them.

For me (and my velvet obsession)

Topshop velvet plisse wrap dress, $74

Don’t judge me, but after spending time picking up gifts for all the fabulous females in my life, it was really hard to resist the urge to grab a little somethin’ somethin’ for myself. One item that I’ve been desperately searching for is the perfect velvet dress, which has been hard to find, especially since the smooth fabric is so on-trend right now. I know this burgundy velvet Plisse wrap frock will get me through many holiday parties.
