Marie Claire senior fashion editor and E! News style correspondent Zanna Roberts Rassi shares the dos and don'ts of holiday gifting for every type of fashion personality!
For the Bad Gal
Do: Get her a set of gorgeous hoop earrings in gold. They're elegant and classic but have just enough attitude.
Don't: Don't purchase earrings without checking that the recipient isn't allergic to any metals first; otherwise, she may not be able to wear them.

Hammered Hoop Earrings, Was $48, Now $39
Circle Hoop Earrings, $40
For the Girl Next Door
Do: A scarf makes a perfect gift. Buying winter accessories works for pretty much everyone as it's equal parts thoughtful and useful.
Don't: Gift winter accessories made with fur! There are plenty of other, more sustainable options out there.
Striped Fair Isle Scarf, $68
Striped Pom-Pom Scarf, $78
Wilfred Ladder Rectangle, $95
For the Rocker
Do: Add to her growing vintage tee collection! These shirts are super comfortable and very versatile. Bonus points if you can find original concert merch!

For the Techie
Do: If you know me, you know that I love a good arm party and am always finding new ways to pile on watches, bracelets and rings. This season I have my eyes on the Samsung Gear S3. It's a tech watch and it's gorgeous, making it perfect for both the fashionista and the functionista.
Don't: Don't keep this gift for yourself when it arrives in the mail. I'm serious!

For the Cosmopolitan
Do: Gift a mini purse! This is the hottest accessories trend of late with celebs everywhere opting for a miniature carry-on.
Don't: Get a typical It bag. Sure, it makes for a nice gift, but it means you didn't put any thought into choosing an original one out.

For the Expecting Mom
Do: Make her mouth drop with a pair of stunning earrings. Accessories make for a great gift for expecting moms, as their bodies are changing and sizing can be complicated to say the least.
Don't: Load up on baby gifts. That's what a baby shower is for! Christmas should be about her.

Equestrian Heritage Chain Earrings, $23
