"While I consider myself a pretty awesome shopper--a skill fine-tuned over years and years of hard work, of course--shopping for other people sort of gives me the hives. (Maybe you know this problem, dolls?) So imagine my delight when I stopped by the opening of the new Forever 21 store last Friday, and found a bunch of perfect holiday gifts for my girlfriends. Accidentally. Even before Black Friday. (Okay, now I&amp;amp;#8217;m just gloating. But in my defense, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never been this prepared before!)Admittedly, it would&amp;amp;#8217;ve been hard not to find something worth scooping up at Forever 21&amp;amp;#8217;s new Manhattan outpost. It&amp;amp;#8217;s six floors of everything you can think of&amp;amp;#8212;from practical denim and cozy coats to more fun, trendy things, like glittery clutches and sequined sweaters. And while everything&amp;amp;#8217;s showcased in a super fancy way to match the Fifth Avenue address (chandeliers! crown molding!), the price tags are still the same (phew). I went looking to snag a few things for myself, but as soon as I saw the holiday accessories (scarves, clutches, gloves galore), I knew I had hit the gifting jackpot. At $8.50, this printed scarf was my favorite find: An hour later, I left the store with an armful of gifts&amp;amp;#8212;cocktail rings, bejeweled bangles, brightly colored gloves, and yes, more of this printed scarf. (I bought three! Spoiler alert to my galpals, if you&amp;amp;#8217;re reading). Forever 21&amp;amp;#8217;s glitzy Fifth Avenue shopping experience was an easy&amp;amp;#8212;and fun&amp;amp;#8212;way to knock my fashionable girlfriends off my shopping list (without racking up any glitzy Fifth Avenue credit card debt). It&amp;amp;#8217;s worth stopping by if you&amp;amp;#8217;re in the New York area, but if not, never fret&amp;amp;#8212;the online experience is just as extensive, stress-free, cheap, and chic. Below, some more of my favorite finds: More Forever 21... But what do you think, ladies? Would you, like me, buy your chic girlfriends accessories and jewelry for the holidays? And would you buy them the same things you&amp;amp;#8217;d buy yourself (because I know I&amp;amp;#8217;ll be wearing this scarf all winter long!) Or are your styles too different for it to work?
