We all know her. The friend whose wardrobe turns you green with envy. Every bag, clothing item and beauty product in existence seems to be stocked in her closet – a space you’d happily sell your house for and set up camp in. And when the holiday season comes around, you are at a complete loss for what to buy her.
But fear not; it appears that the people over at Net-a-Porter have experienced the same problem and come up with a potential solution.
As part of The Holiday Shop, Net-a-Porter has created the Fantasy Gifts offering – presents for those who already have a clothing, accessories and beauty collection to rival a minor royal. A total of five packages offer the recipient a range of bespoke gifts. With the Shoes Every Week of the Year package (Dh152,800), the receiver will be sent a new pair from their favourite shoe brand every week. If your friend would prefer an overhaul of her entire wardrobe, A Stylist for a Season, (Dh88,150 to Dh176,300), which includes the services of a personal shopper, will better suit her needs.
Also on offer are The Endless Shopping Bag, which offers unlimited store credit along with a personal shopper to help with any style needs (price unlimited); The Bag Subscription, where the recipient will receive a different bag every month for a year (Dh105,780); and The Ultimate Beauty Kit, where Net-a-Porter beauty experts help create a kit tailored to the collector’s needs (Dh11,760).
You may, of course, prefer to forget your friend altogether (what has she done for you lately?) and treat yourself instead.
