If you’ve checked out almost everyone on your list and already got them the gifts you thought they’ll love, there’s still someone left who’s … special! Isn’t there? Someone who either has it all, seen it all or done it all, someone who’s so quirky in every aspect that one might go ahead and call him/her a hipster! If hipster wouldn’t be so last season.
But for Christmas, anything goes! So here’s a quick guide with Christmas gifts for the hipsters, the quirky ones, the eco-conscious ones, the social-involved ones, all those who need extra special attention when choosing a gift! However, any of them would love:
{1} Quirky Funny Socks
everyone loves a pair of funny socks, right? So you’ve got your glam socks for hipster fashion ladies, the notebook socks for quirky geeks, the polka dots tights (I know, they’re not technically socks, but I couldn’t resist, really! They’re so pretty!) and the eco-conscious natural fiber socks.
Who can wear them: well… anyone? They’re not just for the hipsters or the quirky ones! Everyone loves a bit of footwear fun!

Where can you get them: stores specialized in hosiery and eco-conscious trade oriented stores.
{2} Quirky tie (for him) or scarf (for her)
accessories make the difference. And the fun! A fun scarf/tie is just a perfect way to spice up one’s look in a very careful, considerate but cheeky way.
Who can wear them: necktie and bow tie fans, quirky people and panda bears (wink). Practically anyone who loves a good way to accessorize and keep smart at the same time.
Where can you get them: obviously not the department store! Try etsy for the best results (stores like kimfinityscarves and escherpe)
{3} Different sunglasses
you don’t really expect a hipster to wear aviators, don’t you? A fancy pair of sunglasses (more or less) from Linda Farrow would be better! Jeremy Scott’s hands sunglasses or Alexander Wang’s fabric sunglasses would really make an impression!

{4} Anything ombre!
seriously! Anything! It comes with a gradient on, it’s great! Ombre tights, ombre scarves, ombre neck ties. Gradient is too big to disappear!

Who can wear it: depending on the item, but pretty much anyone with an eye out for non-industrialized fashion.
Where can you get them: as always, etsy is the best resource.

{5} Nerdy Sweaters
the potentially weirdest sweaters or tshirts can make wonderful additions to any hipster/geek/quirky wardrobe!
Who can wear them: anyone wanting to look cool but keep warm!
Where can you get them: practically anywhere, but etsy’s better for the quirkiest finds!
{6} Message printed or cool printed tshirts
there’s something absolutely cool and always fancy about message tshirts! The hipsterverse is full of hidden special messages, so think of something funny or something too-cool-to-read.
Who can wear them: anyone. Who’s a hipster. Or a geek. Or an impossibly quirky person.
Where to get them: practically any print shop. Bring your desired print or choose from their catalog, but be extra careful about the design! Hipsters have picky tastes.
{8} Unusual jewelry
a set of moon and star jewelry, a very original but festive looking necklace or a bracelet made of guitar strings? Or perhaps a pair of earrings shaped like cookies or a pair of hoops made of recycled newspaper? If you want to go fail-proof on that one, look for jewelry made out of wood! Rings or necklaces, pendants or earrings, wood is good!

Who can wear them: those who have a fine appreciation for upbeat and contemporary, unlike any other accessories, jewelry can make the most subtle or loudest impression. Totally on hipsteralley!

{9} Small leather bag
either for a man’s toiletries or a fancy leather lunch bag, an unusual iPad case, something symbolic but meaningful enough in the hipsterverse!
Who can wear them: anyone with attention for details.
Where can you get them: need I say more? Etsy, biensur!
{10} Random quirky gift
this could be anything from a constellations umbrella to a pair of oven mitts with the NASA logo for a Gravity moment or a pair of festive paper dolls ornaments! A couple of wine bottles dressed up for Christmas or a useful gadget from a media store or a cool wall poster.

I do like some of the items like very wintery sweaters and the funky tights but I avoid hipsters.
They seem to try to hard to be cool.
and they somehow know it all like … yesterday!
