Stylebook’s Holiday Gift Guide: For The Person Who Has Everything

There’s always that one individual that makes you sweat come holiday shopping time– because they have absolutely EVERYTHING. They’re on top of trends and have the “it” gadget before it's available to anyone else on planet Earth. They also have a vintage collection that museums would fight over and they’re non-expressive and unimpressed (though polite), whenever it’s time to open your present. Maybe they’re your mom, your best friend, a boss – or a significant “something.” But…maybe they don’t have one of these, check out our curated list of unique gifts
