New-Agey Gifts Your Crystal-Obsessed Friends Will Love
There are people who are hard to shop for. Like my dad, who has the annoying habit of buying himself whatever he wants the second he wants it, pretty much slamming shut any window of opportunity for me to get in the middle of that process. This makes me immensely thankful for people in my life who are easy to shop for. I’m talking about anyone who has a brand.
People who are prescient enough to conveniently encapsulate their interests inside their Instagram presence—people who have, essentially, won a life debt from anyone in their lives who’s been tasked with the societal duty to shower them with gifts every December. So when it comes to my astrology-obsessed, crystal-loving, witch friends—I know exactly what kind of new age gifts to get them. We love a good on-brand moment.
For instance, my friend Jane, who likes crystals, keeps me updated on upcoming retrogrades and is always able to field my requests for a refresher on what exactly is so bad about being a Gemini. If you don’t think that liking crystals makes someone easy to shop for, you haven’t been inside an Urban Outfitters in a while. I could kiss Jane for how easy she makes it to shop for her.
And my friend Maggie, for instance, loves Elvis, cats and all things slightly sp00ky—and there are about 15 boutique gift shops in Los Angeles alone that look like they manifested themselves directly from her Instagram feed. I could also kiss Maggie for how easy she makes it to shop for her, by the way.
New Age, or whatever you want to call it, is not just back in style for the moment—it’s fashionable. We can argue about the spiritual authenticity of a witchcraft kit purchased at Urban Outfitters, or what it means for authentic practitioners that Anthropologie sells magic candles now, but one thing is for sure: I have no dearth of options when it comes to shopping for Jane and slightly sp00ky-loving Maggie.
So if you’ve got a friend who’s considered moving to Sedona for the vortex benefits or has tried to convince you to get your birth chart interpreted, you can go ahead and take a seat—because I’ve got your shopping covered for this one.
