Like the people you have to buy for but are not particularly close with: co-workers, teachers, the in-laws (you know it’s true). You’re just about to give up and pick up a stack of gift cards that clearly say, “I really didn’t know what to buy for you.” No more pondering necessary. The StyleList is here to jumpstart your holiday spirit and have you wrapping those fabulous gifts just in time to light the Menorah.

This month we have complied a list of gifts that are essential to any wardrobe and lifestyle, that anyone would be happy to receive. Even better, all are affordable and stylish items (depending on how they are worn). So put down the gift cards, and take a look at The StyleList’s Great Gifts for Everyone. You’ll be done with the shopping so fast you’ll have time to plan a holiday ensemble that will outshine the man of the season’s famous red suit (Santa who?).

1. Cell phone cases- sleek, sparkly, or for that pop of color, smart phones need to be stylish too—after all they are the one accessory we always have on us, and you can never have too many.

2. Slippers- perfect to wear around the house, in all fabrics and colors.  Many shoe companies are even making them with durable bottoms for wearing outside (just to grab the morning paper of course). Men, women, and kids cannot deny their love for a great pair of slippers.

3. Scarves – wool, cashmere, plaid, a snood or infinity, there are so many styles, everyone can benefit from throwing on a scarf. No matter the season, no longer just for warmth, but always for a stylish accessory.

4. Pajamas — a set of flannel, silk, or cotton pajamas are always in style for the holiday season, easy to judge in terms of size (larger sizes are not offensive here) and you can find them just about anywhere.

5. Gloves- classic leather, suede, fleece or (faux) fur, all ten of our fingers need to be kept toasty and everyone can always use an extra pair.

6. Belts- skinny, chunky, plain leather or embossed, animal print or plain and patent like an extravagant belt like the big guy—a  belt can make any outfit and with so many sizes and colors you can find a perfect for anyone.

7. Wallets- everyone can always use a great wallet and they are available everywhere, in so many sizes, textures, and now colors they have become an essential accessory all on there own.

8. Monograms- no matter if it’s an initial key chain, necklace, or cuff link, monograms are always in style and add just the perfect personal touch to any gift.
