You’ve finally done it — you’re nearing the end of your holiday shopping but there is still somebody you haven’t quite nailed the right gift for yet. It’s proving challenging because you’re shopping for a straight up hype beast. If there’s one thing you know about them, it’s that they’re fashion obsessed, going on and on week after week about the latest Supreme drop or a hot new pair of kicks they’ve been eyeing — while you sit there in an old faded shirt you’ve had since *gasp* last season.

Here are all the best gifts for the streetwear aficionado in your life, we made sure to keep the luxury-brand stuff at the very end (so don’t keep scrolling if the budget is tight).

Nike Women’s Floral Print Crew, $68 at Nike
Nike is doing a whole floral line right now and this women’s cropped crew is hands down the flyest. Soft knit fabric and a loose fit keep this sweater breathable and fashion forward. Going with a black color scheme is what sets this apart from the rest of the floral line — which makes excessive use of light blue and white. This is floral enough to appease lovers of the pattern but subdued so as not to offend those who don’t give a damn about plants and parrots.
