Unwrapped: For Your Instagram Famous Friend

Do it for the ‘gram

by Sydney Gore

Tis officially the season for gift-giving. For us, it’s 31 days of gift giving; for a month, we’ll be providing gift ideas for everyone on your list—from your hard-to-please parents to your ’90s-loving BFF and even your spoiled pet. Filled with creative picks that got our pulses racing, our Unwrapped holiday gift guides will make Christmas shopping a breeze this holiday season.

We all have that one friend who cherishes being present in the moment, and then capturing that moment in a photo to post on Instagram. Who knows, maybe you're that friend, though? Whatever you decide to get the ultimate digital influencer in your life, just know that it has to be good enough to share with the world wide web. (If they won't show it to their followers then what's the point?!) The pressure is definitely on the rise, but we guarantee that our list of gift goodies will make you feel way less stressed. Do it for the 'gram.
