19 Gifts To Get Your Sister, According To A Twin Who’s Also Our Shopping Editor

You would think that the fact that I'm a twin would work in my favor when it comes to finding the best gift for my sister. Well, the truth is that nailing the ultimate present takes a lot more than some twin ESP (which is a real thing, BTW — just ask our mom, who has to deal with us calling at the same time several days a week).

Because 2021 was A Lot, I'm planning on going all out this year with treating my ride-or-die to the best gift(s) ever — after all, she deserves it. Lucky for her, I'm 1/7th of R29's A++ shopping team, which means I'm basically a walking encyclopedia of all the choice gifts clamoring to be bought this holiday season. (Plus, with Christmas just a few short days away, don't wait to get your orders in for on-time delivery.)

That said, I fully encourage you to steal the 19 ideas in this gift guide for your own kin. Best of all, she probably won't mind if you're not as great with wrapping paper and ribbon as she is.

Asian American Girl Club Cranberry Crewneck

As a proud Hapa, there's no better gift I can think of than gifting my twin a cozy sweatshirt from Asian American Girl Club's holiday shop. It's a win-win: She gets a dope hoodie, and I get to support the dopest cohort of fierce Asian ladies on the internet.

Asian American Girl Club Cranberry Crewneck, $62.00, available at Asian American Girl Club.

J.Hannah MET Mini Polish Set

Being the design snob she is, my sister is quite a fan of J.Hannah's unique, elevated nail polish shades. A fancy nail polish set inspired by the current Met costume exhibit theme will be the perfect beauty amuse-bouche gift to transform her nails into works of art.

J.Hannah MET Mini Polish Set, $54.00, available at J.Hannah.
