It's time for the holidays and you have almost everybody on your list checked off except for that one picky friend with seemingly exquisite taste that changes as fast as the seasons do. You can't walk by a store-front window without her making some kind of comment about how "last season" that is or how the look of the something is "on trend." (On what?) The kind of person you're just a little afraid to buy a gift for because even if she tells you that she loves it, you know she's secretly judging whatever you got her and will swiftly be placing it in the back of her closet never to be seen again.

In case you haven't already guessed, I have that friend. Her name is Lauren. For this guide, I chose some products on my own, ran them by her (to make sure nothing was too garish), and then asked her for a few things she might even ask Santa for herself. Onward!
