Katie Sturino is a creative thinker when it comes to holiday gifting. This should not surprise anyone who knows her beauty brand Megababe. It reimagines personal grooming products and/or her blog, which has been known to change perceptions about plus-size fashion. “I’ve always been a practical gift giver,” Sturino says. “I want people to use their gift every day and think of me. I bought everyone in my family biodegradable garbage bag one year. Another year, I got my friend a headlamp to read in bed.” Below, shop Sturino’s thoughtful (and useful) gift picks for every person on your list.
