NYLONshop Stocking Stuffers For Every Friend In Your Group Chat

It’s time to get personal

by Linda Gindi

If you’re anything like us, you’ve avoided opening those incoming Secret Santa wish lists to escape the December gift-shopping jitters. While picking out that perfect present for your bestie may be rewarding in itself, it’s definitely no walk in the park. You may think you know that childhood comrade of yours inside and out, but the question of “which color?” pops up mid-purchase and, all of a sudden, you’re in full-on panic mode.

We get it—it’s not easy to find that little something for everyone. That’s why we’ve rounded up a few NYLONshop picks for every personality on your list to make your holiday shopping excursion just a little less daunting.

We know that each friend in your group chat has a little quirk that you can work with. Some friends spend their nights in the company of a pizza, while others sit entertained with YouTube beauty tutorials for hours at a time. One friend dreams of a full-on mermaid life, while others fly their goth flag high. Whatever category your friends may fall into, we’re here to make your holiday browsing as easy as possible.

Click through the gallery to see our picks for every type of stocking. Warning: generic holiday sweaters are not included.
