Alyssa Vingan’s Cool-Girl-Approved Holiday Gifts For Your Most Fashion-Obsessed Friends

At NYLON, we’re always looking ahead to what’s new and next — and the holidays are no exception. This season, we’ve partnered with Klarna, the ultimate shortcut to holiday shopping. We like to think of this all-in-one shopping “super app” as a magic eight ball of sorts: It’s the best place to discover and purchase the gifts you and your loved ones will want to unwrap, way ahead of the curve.

“Klarna has helped me optimize my one-stop-shopping experience while making sure I stay in-budget,” says NYLON editor-in-chief Alyssa Vingan, who takes a thoughtful approach to gifting. “I try my best to buy my friends and family things they've hinted at in the months prior to the holidays, specifically something they're unlikely to buy themselves,” she says. “If the gift recipient has a very specific aesthetic, I will try to find them an item that fits it that they haven’t discovered before, like from a new, indie brand or something vintage.”

No Risk, All Reward

With Klarna, you’re in control of your spending — and all the benefits that come with it. Flexible payments allow you to pay in four installments, interest-free, over six weeks. They also mean tons of perks. With Vibe, Klarna’s rewards club, you get access to exclusive sales and limited drops, plus you’ll earn vibes (one vibe for every $1 spent) on all purchases, that you can treat yourself with later on.

Inspiration Station

Klarna is the shopping app that replaces the rest, offering personalized shopping inspiration and content from the brands — and people — you love. With collections you can create and share, you’ll know exactly what pieces they’re eyeing, and what their closets are currently missing. “Since our social calendars are finally filling up once again, I'm looking to give some party-ready pieces to get friends and family excited to hang outside of the house,” Vingan shares. “I, for one, am hoping to get a party dress or two.”

Shop Smoooth

Whether you’re shopping online, in-store, or through the app, Klarna is your new all-in-one tool for holiday gifting; the company refers to its definition-defying experience as “smoooth shopping,” and we couldn’t agree more. Klarna helps elevate every aspect of shopping, from browsing to purchasing to owning, by making it simple to find the best deals, get notified when your favorite pieces go on sale, and explore curated collections tailored to your interests. “Plus, the ability to see all of the eligible brands in one place broken down by category makes finding what I’m looking for easy,” Vingan adds, particularly when shopping for those with hyper-specific wish lists.

It’s time to get a head-start on holiday shopping. Download the Klarna app now and check out Vingan’s covetable list of Klarna-supported gift ideas below.
