We were thrilled to partner with The Curvy Fashionista, the online fashion and lifestyle destination for stylish ladies with curves! Their online magazine is known for great taste and realistic reviews of products and services for a curvy audience - just like Friendly Like Me. :-)

 

Our executive team, many of whom are plus size or have an access need, all shared some of our favorite gift ideas for the curvy fashionistas and glamorpusses in our lives. Undoubtedly, the luxurious cashmere sweaters, oversize linen bath sheets, and unforgettable spa experiences we included would be big hits for anyone's birthday, anniversary, office, Christmas or Hanukkah gift!
 
See a preview of the best size-inclusive spas we recommend below, and check out the full gift guide at The Curvy Fashionista. If you're in a hurry, some of these can be ordered online and printed out for a perfect last minute gift idea. Happy Shopping!
