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.
My friend Maggie, for instance, loves Elvis and cats—and there are about 15 boutique stationery shops in L.A. alone that look like they manifested themselves directly from her Instagram feed. I could kiss Maggie for how easy she makes it to shop for her.

Or 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.
New Age, or whatever you want to call it, is not just back—it’s fashionable. We can argue about the spiritual authenticity of a witchcraft kit purchased at Sephora, or what it means for authentic practitioners that Anthropologie sells magick candles now, but one thing is for sure: I have no dearth of options when it comes to shopping for Jane.
So if you’ve got a friend who’s considering moving to Sedona for the vortex benefits, you can go ahead and take a seat—because I’ve got your shopping covered for this one.
