The 12 best tech gifts for fashionistas

Styling services, jewelry-inspired headphones and a smartwatch that will go with any outfit.

Buying clothes and other apparel as gifts is always something of a risky proposition -- and that's doubly true if the person you're shopping for prides herself on having good taste. Indeed, you might want to skip clothing altogether and focus on services your intended can use to do what they do best: be fabulous.

You might consider a gift card to Stitch Fix, where your friend will get a box of five items personalized to their tastes, with an option to return whatever they don't like. Alternatively, there's the Glam app for on-demand blowouts, manicures and makeup appointments, while Decorist offers online interior design consultations. If you'd still prefer to buy a physical gift, might we suggest headphones that look like a necklace, this sturdy-yet-stylish iPhone case or a fitness tracker that could pass for jewelry.
