Urban Outfitters’ Ultimate Anti-Hero Gift Guide with Jean-Luc

The winter brings an undeniable sense of cheer, as twinkling lights begin to illuminate city streets and festive celebrations welcome the season. But we all know some holiday interactions are…well, less than festive. That holiday party you’ve been reluctant to attend because you might run into your ex (awkward!) or receiving your fashionably challenged coworker for a Secret Santa gift trade — we could go on and on, but we all know that sometimes, gifting to those who aren’t necessarily on your “Nice List” can be a near impossible task.

There are plenty of gift guides out there, but why don’t we ever see any of the best gift options for the least giftable people in your life? If you want to steal the show at your next holiday party, Urban Outfitters has it all — even gifts for your ex or your neighbor who needs some hygienic help. Dive into them all below, in UO’s Anti-Hero Gift Guide with Jean-Luc.

Gifts for Your Nonchalant Situationship

They can’t commit to a relationship let alone a gift decision for you. But this holiday season, you gave it your best try to show your “friend”…partner…whatever you call them…some love. It’s the thought that counts, so we thought up some giftable options for that special someone in your life, like the Fleece Cloud Puff Throw Blanket, the Camp Snap Screen-Free Digital Camera, Birkenstock Zermatt Shearling Wool clogs, and more. Who knows? Maybe these gifts could finally sway them from their noncommittal nature.

Gifts for the Mid Music Artist

You’ve got a friend who spends their weekends writing melodies and practicing amateur guitar riffs in their room — but no matter how much they practice, they never seem to improve. You’re such a good friend that you support them anyway; at least they can say they have one fan! Maybe they can brush up on their skills by using Audio Technica’s LP60X record player to discover some new tunes, and the Nina Record Storage Rack or the Conway Electric EXTO 2 Outlet Power Strip make great gifts for yearning musicians as well.

Gifts for Someone Who Could Smell Better

Hey, you’re not saying they smell. They just could smell better. There’s always room for improvement, right? If you want to give the gift of hygiene — in a subtle way — look no further than these fragrant gift ideas from UO. Fleur de Blonde’s Gourmand Eau de Parfum is sure to sweeten up their aura, while the Hawthorne Canary Diamond cologne is a more earthy, masculine scent. The Fireplace Incense Holder keeps the home smelling fresh all season long.

Gifts for the Biggest Weeb

The biggest weeb in your life spends most of their days watching anime and diving into forums about their favorite manga series. They’ve even got that Deku voice! Here are some weeb-worthy gifts to bring some joy to their days between binge-watching marathons, including a Sonix Sanrio Airtag Keychain, a Cat Ear Globe Table Lamp and a “Tokyo” Soccer Jersey polo tee.

Whether you’re shopping for those on your Naughty or Nice list, Urban Outfitters is a one-stop shop for those tricky gifting situations this season. Check out more gift options, and you can even shop Jean-Luc’s look, at urbanoutfitters.com.
