Wish List: Phillip Lim Pin

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

The holiday season is upon us, striking fear into the heart of shopping procrastinators everywhere. If you need help deciding what to purchase for others, or you're looking for general gifty inspiration for your wish list, we've got you covered. We're joining forces with Refinery29 to bring Racked readers present ideas cherry-picked from Refinery29's new holiday buying blog Gift Central. Every day, we'll choose one item to add to our Wish List; today's choice is a pin from designer Phillip Lim.

Buying clothing for someone is usually difficult: you have to get the size just right (too big is insulting, too small is embarrassing), and you have to have a firm grasp of the gift-receiver's taste and style. Instead of risking one of those "You don't know me at all" moments, go with an accessory, like designer Phillip Lim's clever little feathered stick pin. It'll add a little oomph to an outfit, and it won't put too much of dent in your wallet.
