Nilu pegs blazers or jackets as a piece of clothing that can take any outfit from drab to fab. Be it a good biker jacket, or a versatile beige, a denim jacket or a colourful printed blazer, we've seen her sport it all on many, many occasions. She suggests picking a jacket that works well on dresses and casual ensembles, that way it can be worn during the day and evening too. Of course, keep in mind the personality of the person you are shopping for.

All for accessorising, none of Nilu's looks are complete without stunning jewellery. Her mood and her style for the day obviously determine the kind of and how much jewellery she wears. Often we see her with statement earrings and nothing else or layered necklaces, chunky bracelets and multiple finger rings. For gifting however, she suggests delicate and elegant, more minimalist in style jewellery that can be worn daily and with most if not all outfits.

"Can't imagine stepping out anywhere sans a bag", says this fashionista and we totally agree. This is also exactly why that special someone will appreciate a bag as a gift, just as much as Nilu does. Bags totally brighten her mood in any shape, size or colour but a classic pick to gift would be one that's clean, chic and perfect for any day-to-night look. The pro's tip is solid colours and one preferably with a detachable strap, this way it can be carried by hand or as a short shoulder bag.

LBB's Pick: This Handcrafted Black Fan Bag for its distinctive design and neutral colour.

Watches

This diva is watch obsessed and loves being gifted a wrist jewel of any kind. Whether it's one with a big or small dial, thin or large strap, embellished or not, watches are easy to style and complement all attires, so this as a gift idea always wins according to Nilu. However, based on the aura of the person you want to impress, either inch towards edgy or vintage in terms of an overall vibe and then make a definite pick, she says. 

LBB's Pick: This Handpainted Floral Dial Mesh Metal Watch for its quirky, very individualistic style.

Makeup or cosmetics in general is something Nilu absolutely loves to gift. You will also notice that she does a lot of giveaways around the same on her IG page. This is because she believes that skincare she loves may or may not suit others but makeup is a sure shot winner. Just about anything from eye shadow palettes to nail lacquers to highlighters will make for stunning presents and one that you can see your bff or loved wear everyday, which makes this an even more special gifting choice.

You can also go ham on the colours and types of lipsticks.
