Last minute gifts for the fashion forward

Last minute gifts for the fashion forward
Madeline Presland

If you still haven’t found a gift for the fashion lover on your shopping list, fear not! There are plenty of last-minute options in Philly for one-of-a-kind unisex fashion. Here are five style-forward picks that would be a welcome addition to any closet.

Bag upgrade

It’s the perfect gift for the friend who is always on the go. The Madden backpacks at Art in the Age in Old City are bold, simple and definitely a step up from a worn-out backpack that has been beaten, battered and seen it all. Backpacks start at $100.

Not the worst gift ever!

Socks aren’t just for the naughty kids. Gifting a pair of soft and cozy Blue Q socks will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. South Philly boutique Occasionette has a pop up shop in Old City, and the sock choices are a perfect stocking stuffer. Each pair is $12.

Keeping time

A watch is a classy and classic gift and the wooden watches from Analog Watch Co. catch the eye with a look that is both rustic and modern. Not a fan of wood? Analog makes marble watches and timepieces that have a more traditional design. Prices start at $150.
