For the fashion-obsessed folks in your life, we've chosen some favorite finds that we're betting they don't have in their closets – yet.

The makers behind Bow SelecTie have but a modest goal: to offer the “best bowties and neckties for everyone in the world.” To make that happen, there’s a huge handmade selection on their website – some wooden, some feathered, many with a sense of humor. If there’s a clotheshorse on your gift list, there’s a pre-tied tie here for him. ~Monica Moses

Does the chilly wind have your loved one feeling down? Give them Portland-based Brookes Boswell’s Optimo Packable Hat. Its wide brim, stylish design, and easy-to-store nature will have them imagining sunny getaways even as they huddle over hot cocoa. ~Robert O’Connell

The stylish Johnna Tote Pack No. 7 designed by Bay Area artist Nicole W. Kelly of Yolotli is inspired by the classic Adidas string pack kids grew up using for school in Germany, Kelly’s country of origin. This versatile, high-end version can also be used as a tote bag. ~Pam Diamond

EQO’s sunglasses, made in Colorado Springs from the remains of broken skateboards, might seem made for midsummer, but they can block the glare coming off of winter snow just as well. Get the Mariana Pink shades for anyone who likes to look hip in all seasons. ~Robert O’Connell

How gorgeous is this Isabella leather rolltop backpack made by Minneapolis-based Luke Borkenhagen of Cedar & Stone? This durable pack is guaranteed for life, and you can even adjust the straps to convert it into a shoulder bag, if that's more to your liking. Either way, this beauty is a must-have for the adventurous sort. ~Elizabeth Ryan

Show off your literary crush with a handbag from Rebound Designs. Washington DC maker Caitlin Phillips repurposes hardback book covers to create these one-of-a-kind handbags. Leather or hand-beaded handles are the finishing touch on these beautiful accessories that bibliophiles will love to carry. ~Beth Goodrich

Tale of Monsters’ overalls, leggings, and tunics of organic bamboo and cotton are a fun gift for fashionable toddlers with eco-conscious parents. The Baltimore company’s soft fabrics will keep adventurous little ones comfortable, while their zero-waste production will make mom and dad happy too. ~Megan Guerber

Treat yourself to the luxury of silk with a lighter-than-air scarf by Betsy Giberson. The New Hampshire artist hand-pieces and hand-dyes each one in subtle, shimmering shades for a touch of understated glamour. ~Judy Arginteanu
