For loved ones, including themselves…

We asked ten of our colleagues – what are you gifting – and/or keeping – this holiday season? Say hello to your essential holiday gift guide, courtesy of the Free People team (and their cats).

GRACE, Product Development Coordinator

What’s Your Gift?
Nightingale Cardi

For You/Someone Else?
I originally picked this gift for myself but it's the perfect oversized sweater to gift to a loved one this holiday season. Paired with a best seller book, it's the ideal gift for any homebody in your life. 😀

What Do You Love About It?
I love the oversized style. I usually shy away from baggy tops but this one is just so cozy and warm. It's perfect to wear around the house with loungewear, or to layer with a dress and sneakers when you're heading out. It gives me vinyl-record, cup-of-tea, snowy-day vibes. It's also kitten approved – my cat Betty keeps crawling in and cuddling up on me when I wear it, hahahah.

CAELYN, Creative Marketing Coordinator

What’s Your Gift?
Found My Friend Cardi

For You/Someone Else?
I chose this gift for myself – in need of a cardigan for the cool chill this season.

What Do You Love About It?
Periwinkle (Prep Peri) is one of my favorite colors so I was instantly attracted to this cardigan! In addition to the color, I love the bubbly texture on the outside of the sleeves and the oversized feel keeps me warm.

EMILY, Buying Assistant

What’s Your Gift?
Slope Stripe Pom Beanie

For You/Someone Else?
I would buy for someone else!

What Do You Love About It?
A Pom Beanie is the perfect winter staple! It’s also a great price point that makes this beanie easy to gift to family and friends. ❤️

What’s Your Gift?
Canyon Pullover

For You/Someone Else?
This gift is for myself!

What Do You Love About It?
COLOR COLOR COLOR! Grecian Sea is the most beautiful blue shade, and I love a pop of color to brighten up my wardrobe. This pullover instantly makes me happy. ❤️

KORY, Web Studio Coordinator Assistant

What’s Your Gift?
BFF Cocoon Dip Dye Sweater

For You/Someone Else?
My mom loves anything cozy, pink and everything FP. ❤ This sweater is the perfect gift for her!

What Do You Love About It?
I love how comfy and oversized it is! The fabric is so soft, warm and weightless – and this pink ombre color combo adds a good pop for the holidays.

What’s Your Gift?
Piper Plaid Recycled Blend Fringe Scarf

For You/Someone Else?
Definitely my mom! She loves everything colorful, cozy and FP.

What Do You Love About It?
You can style this scarf in so many different ways – as a layering piece under and over your jacket, or as a balaclava.

HOLLI, Purchase Order Assistant

What’s Your Gift?
Rylee Cozy Moto Jacket

For You/Someone Else?
Gift for myself!

What Do You Love About It?
It’s a perfect jacket! The plush is soft and the collar is really nice when it’s windy out. And the small moto details make you feel like you’re wearing a leveled-up jean jacket.

AMY, Director Print & Catalog

What’s Your Gift?
Dolman Quilted Knit Jacket

For You/Someone Else?
The Dolman is a holiday gift to myself. This jacket is warm and super comfortable, and the color is great.

SARAH, Associate Designer

What’s Your Gift?
Comet Dangles, Gather Me Close Cardi, Evermore Teddy Beanie

For You/Someone Else?
I got the gift as a treat to myself, but I am already thinking of gifting the Gather Me Close Cardi to my sister in a different color combo for the holidays! It is so cozy!

What Do You Love About It?
I love the knitted pattern on the Gather Me Close Cardi and the softness of the fabric! The neon pops of color make it feel extra novelty and playful. I also haven't been able to take off the Evermore Teddy beanie. It has been keeping me so warm as we head into the colder months.

MILAN, Fabric Assistant

What’s Your Gift?
Finely Maxi Cardi, Judy Pearl Ear Chain

For You/Someone Else?
As much as I would buy it for someone else, I definitely loved it for myself. It's extremely cozy and it's a perfect cardigan to throw on with anything!

What Do You Love About It?
I really love cardigans that are long because it’s soooo hard to find the perfect one. I also think that the color option stands out well for the cold months. I feel like I could wear this in so many ways by belting it for a night out or throwing it on in the house on cold winter nights.

SAMMIE, Sample Coordinator

What’s Your Gift?
Ribbed Balaclava

For You/Someone Else?
I would buy this for my mom and sisters!

What Do You Love About It?
The balaclava is so comfy and cute for the winter!

VOLKAN, Director – Raw Materials

What’s Your Gift?
Cutting Edge Cable Pullover, Varsity Stripe Slouchy Beanie

For You/Someone Else?
I'd buy them for my wife, probably not for me.

What Do You Love About It?
Pullover -- I think it's perfect size and color! Beanie -- I like the fabric a lot, very cozy and warm.
