Gen Z is back at it with the revival of old fashion trends. This time, they’ve got a grip on pearl strands and bright plastic jewelry! You can help your trendsetter combine these two hot looks with this necklace from ShopGeminiJewels on Etsy.
Crocs Classic Clogs ($49.99, shop here)
You either love them or love to hate them. Either way, the rubber shoe is back “in” again. The classic clog is great for anyone – from nurses who need plenty of support to fashion queens who can rock any shoe that’s in style. They come in more colors than we can count, so they’re perfect no matter the fashion sense. Try the popular yellow hues for the teens in your life and navy or black for dad.
Rivet Surrey Modern Ceramic Planter Pot ($68.49, shop here)
If there’s one home trend we feel confident will last beyond this season, it’s having an abundance of plants. This sleek planter will match anyone’s existing decor and give them plenty of space! Want to make the gift even better? Deliver it with a plant inside. We recommend a snake plant or a small tree.
Secura Electric Wine Opener (starting at $25.99, shop here)
With the popularity of wine subscription boxes, this is a gift your friends will not only need but also love to flaunt at every gathering. This sleek device opens even the most challenging bottles at the press of a button! It also comes complete with a foil cutter so that you can access the cork much more quickly.

Simple gold bracelets are appearing on wrists everywhere! This simple yet elegant sphere bracelet matches any outfit, from business professional to streetwear casual to fancy cocktail party attire. It also comes in silver, if that’s more your giftee’s style.
