Ah, cousin Lisa. You know her, you love her...but wait, you actually don’t know her that well. Definitely not well enough to ask her what her shirt size is or what style of pants she prefers. That’s all well and good, until you realize that you still have to get her something for your family’s notoriously competitive gift exchange. Don’t worry, we rounded up 23 accessories that will be a joy to receive—and don’t require your knowing her measurements. At all. 

These 24 Affordable Watches Look Way More Expensive Than They Are

Nordstrom

1. baublebar Kimberly Headband

It’s so festive, she’ll want to wear it ASAP (like for Christmas dinner). Plus, it’s much faster to slip this headband on than it is to perfect the French braid.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of frames that look good on every face shape. These have a slightly rounded silhouette that looks good with both full cheeks and super-high cheekbones, we promise.

10. custom Popgrip

You don’t even need to know which iPhone version she has for this gift (but we recommend making sure you know her initials). The top of this PopSocket is totally customizable and can be switched out with another style in a snap. Because, let’s be honest, she’ll probably get bored with it after a few selfies.

11 lele sadoughi crystal headband
Revolve

11. lele Sadoughi Crystal Headband

Lele Sadoughi updated her signature hair accessory to feature a smattering of crystals and a metallic finish. Plus, this shade works on blondes, brunettes and redheads alike.

14. ganni Leopard-print Scrunchie

It’s an undisputed fact that a leopard-print scrunchie is a gift anyone will love. This one’s from the cool-girl brand Ganni, which means she can buy a leopard print dress to match...if that’s her style.

15 bienvenu five pack tie dye cotton crew socks
Amazon

15. bienvenu Five-pack Tie-dye Cotton Crew Socks

A pair of white socks as a gift? Not fun. Five tie-dye socks as a set? Very, very fun. These come in a number of color combos—there’s even a set with celestial touches—so there’s truly a tie-dye sock for all.

16 alessandra rich open heart crystal earrings
Matches Fashion

16. alessandra Rich Open Heart Crystal Earrings

A big dose of sparkle that she can wear with her favorite LBD. Yes, these are oversize, but they’re also clip earrings, so her earlobes will be able to handle the bling.

17 nordstrom quilted leather tech gloves
Nordstrom

17. nordstrom Quilted Leather Tech Gloves

A word to the wise: You probably shouldn’t gift a pair of gloves if they’re not tech-friendly. These cuties are made from a quilted lambskin that’s super soft, making these a cold weather luxury necessity.

lizzie fortunato brooch
nordstrom

18. lizzie Fortunato Memento Baroque Pearl Gold-plated Brooch

It’s surprising, but you can buy the same brooch for your great aunt and your way-too-cool cousin. The trio of charms includes two baroque pearls, making this under-$100 gift a really great (and chic) value.

Nordstrom

21. the Marc Jacobs Editor Leather Crossbody

The well-organized interior of this purse is a neat freak’s dream come true. Hidden beneath the magnetic closure is a center zip compartment sandwiched between two slip pockets. There’s definitely enough room for her daily essentials in this deceptively roomy leather tote.

22 elizabeth cole multi rainbow 8 piece barrette set
Saks Fifth Avenue

22. elizabeth Cole Multi-rainbow 8-piece Barrette Set

An Austrian or Swarovski crystal hair clip for every occasion on her calendar. (And every color in her closet.) She can even don a few at once, ya know, if she’s feeling crazy.
