1. Designer slipper (with a shocking price tag)

Valentino Garavani Black Roman Stud Sabot Slippers will earn you the best-giver title for all of time. The only trouble is the price point: $890. Wow, right?

I mean, it is a stylish slipper — with the metal buckle, pyramid studs, and embossed logo in the footbed and all. Your fashionista friend could wear this as a shoe and no one would be the wiser. But then considering the price, she might want to keep her designer slippers under lock and key.

2. Furry UGGs

Moving on to more practical picks, these slide-style slippers from UGG are cozy, easy to wear, and stylish. They also have a molded rubber outsole, so your giftee can wear them to the mailbox.

The bright aqua color is sure to add some cheer to cool winter days. If your giftee has more subdued taste, you can also opt for black, gray, cream, pink, or leopard. The sale price on Zappos is $60.27, marked down from $89.95.

3. Teddy slides

Anthropologie’s Teddy Slides are top-rated among fashionistas. It must be that shock of pretty rose fuzz that cradle the feet. Or possibly it’s the unfussy slide-on style. These slippers also have a rubber sole for ultimate versatility.

You can get the teddy slides for $40 in brown, crème, or lilac. Sizing is a generic small, medium, or large.

4.  Cashmere simplicity

Your fashionista friend who favors classic styles will adore this slipper available at Quince. Simple but polished, they have an Audrey Hepburn feel to them. Importantly, Quince’s slipper is made of cashmere, one of the world’s most luxurious fabrics.

Your color options are Heather Oatmeal or Heather Gray, and sizes range from XS to L. This gift slipper is on sale now for $49.90, marked down from $99.

5. One for you, one for me

MinxNY says “spa day should be every day.” It’s tough to argue with that, right? Meet Aromasoles, chenille slipper socks infused with therapeutic oils. Luxurious chenille plus a divine lavender scent that promotes calmness and relaxation — that combo makes for a memorable gift, for yourself or someone else.

And the best part? For $20, you get two pairs of Aromasoles slipper socks plus a lavender sachet. Seems like a nice opportunity to keep one pair for yourself, courtesy of your holiday gift budget. Just saying.

6. Sport clog

Dearfoams Sport Foam Clog is a wonderful pick for your chic friend who’s always on the go. She’ll appreciate the easy styling plus the nod to this season’s trendiest shoe, the clog. This is another style that can double as a shoe, thanks to the thick sole and sleek styling.

Pick up the sport clog from Target for $44.99 in moss or pink, in shoe sizes 6 through 11.            

7. Knit ankle socks

Structured slippers are great for wearing outside, but cozy pajama days demand a slipper that hugs your feet without the stiffness of a sole. These knit ankle slipper socks from Eberjey step into that role perfectly. They do have nonslip nubs on the bottom for safety.

Available colors include bone (shown here), gray, and rose. You can get them at Bloomingdale’s for $46.

Note that this slipper is one-size-fits-all, so it may not be a good pick for your friend who has very large or very small feet.

8. Purple perfection

Dearfoams’ smokey purple Rebecca memory foam slippers have an old-Hollywood glam vibe. They are simple, but not boring and pretty, but not girly. A memory foam footbed delivers ultimate comfort, while the thermoplastic elastomers sole stands up to outdoor use.

This slipper is available in a dozen other colors, though none are as eye-catching as this purple. Pick up the style in regular and wide sizes on Amazon for $21.

9. The house shoe

Footwear brand WateLves calls this style a house shoe — which means it is a comfortable and practical gift. An ergonomically designed sole provides support for tired feet, while the memory foam insole adds softness and flexibility. The fleece lining throughout delivers another layer of coziness.

Thousands of Amazon shoppers love this slipper, rating it 4.5 out of 5. The price is $25.96 and sizes range from 5 to 14.

10. The new moccasin

Moccasins are like the LBD of slippers. When in doubt, buy the moccasin — especially if you’re gifting. They’re classic and always fashionable.

I like this pair because the color puts a new twist on the normally earthy moccasin style. Or maybe I just have a thing for purples.

Pick these up at Zappos for $64.95, marked down from $99.

11. Organic cotton comfort

My final pick for fashionable slippers this year is Quince’s organic Turkish cotton waffle knit. It’s made for simplicity and comfort, period. The slipper is lightweight and absorbent — an ideal accessory to step into after a shower.

You can find the waffle knit slipper at onequince.com for $29.90, marked down from $48.
