Practical gifts get a bad rap, but with age comes the wisdom that socks or a bar of soap is actually a great gift. Similarly, this roomy shoulder bag from Coach is the kind of everyday essential that may not immediately scream holiday decadence but will quickly become the kind of carryall they realize they can’t go without.
Made of natural-grain leather and designed to tuck comfortably under the arm, it punches above its weight, sartorially speaking. For the trendier recipient (specifically if they happen to be Gen Z), adding a few bag charms will zhuzh things up. Or you can go the more practical route and gift them a stocking full of things they’ll want to keep inside: a journal, a water bottle, maybe even some Tupperware. “Commutercore” at its finest.
