Every holiday season has those hot items that top everyone’s wish list. While your years of writing letters to Santa may be well in the rearview, that doesn’t mean you and your loved ones aren’t hoping to end up on the nice list, and get the best fashion gifts for 2020.

Read on for what you should be dropping hints for, or find a gift that will make that special someone’s eyes light up!

It’s all about elevating your everyday looks

“2020 is the year of the matching sweat set,” says Alison Barnard O'Brien, owner and founder of Boston-based boutique injeanius. “We have a variety of styles to match every personality, from cute and quirky to classic... it’s all about elevating your everyday and if that means a cute loungewear set, we are all in.”

Created from organic cotton, this mid-weight set has been washed with a high-soft, non-toxic finisher, meaning it will already feel lived-in before you even try it on. She’ll love the five earth tones from organic dye that won’t irritate her skin.

Don’t forget he likes comfort too! This thermal lounge set will keep him warm all winter long, and will make him smile with nine different seasonal prints. You can suit your guy up in a tasteful deer or plaid print, or give him major Santa’s helper vibes with the green, red and white striped set. Either way, you can’t go wrong with a set that you can also borrow and wear!

Another option for keeping her cozy, but not-so-casual is this glam robe that features faux fur around the collar and cuffs. Available in 10 prints and patterns — from leopard to burgundy — and up to size 3X, the Superminky Robe is sure to be the gift she puts on right away Christmas morning.

   

Jeans are still a favorite

“Jeans are not the top on the work from home list, they do make us feel like we are starting our day even if it means we don't leave the house all day,” says O'Brien. “I think everyone should wear jeans at least once a week.” O’Brien suggests a gift card from Injeanius for a denim fitting experience, saying, “We conduct a Facetime consultation and send a box of options for you to try at home!”

If you already know her size, try these flattering styles and cuts.
