The holidays were a hectic time for gift shopping with last minute shopping turning into a less than thoughtful gift. If you spent your day after Christmas in the dreaded returns line due to unsatisfactory gifts, now is the time to take advantage of those gift cards and cash back. Here are the hot items of 2015 that you should have gotten for Christmas and can now get for yourself.  

If you’re fashion photographer, Louis Vuitton’s book on fashion photography is a must have, featuring glossy photos from famous photographers that have shot with the esteemed fashion house. For the less serious photographer, an instant film camera such as this one by Fujifilm or this one by Polaroid will do the trick. Don’t forget about a cute camera bag to put the new camera in!

For the fan of athleisure, fitness tracking bracelets will make it much easier to stay on top of those fitness goals, such as Jawbone’s UP3 and Bellabeat.

Beauty junkies will unite over prime makeup gifts such as the bestselling and latest installment of the Naked palette, the limited edition Alexa for Eyeko eyeliner and mascara set and the Glossier Phase 1 Set, complete with a moisturizer, face mist, healing balm and skin tint that matches even some of the deepest shades. If you are a skincare aficionado then by all means indulge in L’Occitane’s finest shea butter gift set for the silkiest skin or make them do their homework and learn about Korean skincare trends with Charlotte Cho of Soko Glam’s new book, “The Little Book of Skincare.”

Bath and Body Works shea infused socks are the perfect stocking stuffers for the fashionista that’s young at heart. For when the weather decides to act like actual winter, this gorgeous car coat from Anthropologie will have you begging for low temperatures to whip this baby out.

If you’re a fashionisto, they will love these fancy leather gloves from J. Crew that still let you use your smartphone touch screens.

For the style maven that everyone can smell from a mile away, go with a Chloe fragrance gift set that will keep you smelling classic and unique or the Capri Blue Volcano Candle that will have your place smelling just as good as you.

Lastly, for the world traveler, Kate Spade makes fashion-forward passport holders so you can be a jetsetter in style.

So hit up your nearest mall, shopping center or laptop and treat yourself to the trendy and unique gifts you should have gotten this season.
