Black Friday is the start of the holiday shopping frenzy, but it doesn't have to overwhelm you. Inspired by Sunglass Hut, here are my tips to help you find the perfect gifts for the stylish ladies on your list.

Start with a great pair of shades. Designer sunglasses always make a great gift. Think about the recipient's personality: Is she classic with a twist? Bohemian chic? Or all-about glamour? Pick a frame that speaks to her.

Sparkle always makes a fab gift. Whether it's a shimmery nail polish or timeless gold chain necklace, a glittery accessory is guaranteed to put a twinkle in her eye.

Think cozy-chic. It's cold outside, so get her something warm! Studded leather gloves or an embellished sweater are totally indulgent and sure to be appreciated.

Surround her with little luxuries. A beautiful candle, velvet pumps or chevron tablet cover will liven up her space.

Shop the look:

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you may have noticed that I attended a T.J. Maxx & Marshalls Holiday press preview in New York City this past Wednesday evening. The T.J. Maxx/Marshalls crew had transformed The Blue Room at the Gansevoort Park Avenue into the ultimate gifting suite! Joe Lupo and Jesse Garza, personal shoppers and founders of luxury lifestyle consulting firm Visual Therapy, were in attendance to share tips on how to become the "ultimate gifter" and choose the perfect present for everyone on your list. Check out the short video above to hear Joe and Jesse's fun tips and click through to see photos from the event.
