With the luxe bohemian and edgy design guru already checked off your list of pressies this season, it's time to focus on the class act. You know her - she prefers tea over coffee, loves a comfortable (and chic!) cardigan and would much rather spend her time reading a good book over watching the latest reality TV show. Elegant in every way, she has her own keen sense of style and is demur and darling, much like Meryl Streep!
