Christmas gift for DS' girlfriend help!

I need to find a jumper for DS' girlfriend (25). Easy-peasy, you'd think- but I am clueless here.

I have virtually no sense of fashion. I don't know where I should be looking- Jack Wills? Hollister? Somewhere more trendy?

She's a size 8 (I think. DS doesn't know) Works in an office, so something that would be suitable for that maybe? She usually wears a lot of gym wear (ex PT, ballerina) I've seen her wear pink and red (not together) and possibly pale blue. I don't think she'd wear something very frilly.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the 'right' place to shop? Budget around £50.

I'd go with something from ASOS or Zara. If you don't know her that well, what about a voucher?

I bought the &otherstories jumper. 😁It's not that I don't know her very well, it's just that I'm a bit clueless when it comes to clothes for young women.

She is a lovely young woman, and I see her as part of the family (likely to be a permanent one at some point, according to ds) so didn't want to just go with a voucher. She'll appreciate the thought and effort, even if she doesn't like the jumper itself.

that jumper is lovely I'm sure she will love it.

Thanks @Mrsjayy .

I do really appreciate everyone's input!

(I also went rogue and bought her a delicate silver bracelet. Receipt will be included, obvs)

Weekday is cool and cheap and aimed at that age group.

I agree with this. My 23-year-old DD has just asked me for a jumper from Weekday and sent links to some she likes. @SoSad44 - they ALL look a bit dreary to me, but that's what the young folks like these days!

The jumper you have chosen is a great choice!

Not particularly pricey so could get 2 or 1 and something else but TU at sainsburys sell gorgeous knit wear and their stuff lasts well. Not cheap and nasty cheap but cheap compared to some places.

Chickenpie35 · 12/12/2023 20:19

Didn't get to the end of the thread to see you'd already bought one 🤦‍♀️

Failed to read the update. Was going to say not clothes.

Fenty lipglosses are great (and popular) can get them in boots

Crocs are also really popular now!

Shodan · 12/12/2023 21:10

@Clemfandango95 Ooh. I did ask ds if there were any toiletry items she might like. Those lip glosses look lovely...

I got them both crocs last year! Well ahead of fashion, me 😄
