Looking to treat your lolita fashion fan this holiday but you’re short on cash? Here are some free (or nearly free) ideas for gifts!
Hone your photography skills and offer to take coordinate photos.
Its no secret that lolita fashion fans love taking coordinate shots, but finding a competent photographer who will work on call on the cheap is hard. Level up your photography skills and offer to take them on a photo date, where the focus is getting great pictures of their outfit.
Take your classic lolita to an antique mall.
While I, a certified classic lolita, love shopping at antique malls, I’m also happy just browsing with my friends and loved ones. Spend a couple hours sifting through dusty antiques and then go out for a cup of coffee afterward, talking over your best and most unique finds.
Bake macarons with your sweet lolita
A notoriously tricky cookie to bake, macarons are the quintessential lolita fashion cookie, and baking them together is a great way to spend time together by trauma bonding. At the end of the day, you’ll either have a great new skill or a hilarious story to tell.
Take stroll through a cemetery with your gothic lolita.
Many cemeteries, especially historic cemeteries, allow for respectful vistors. Take your gothic lolita on an afternoon stroll through a cemetery.
Spend a day doing wardrobe maintenance with your lolita
All those bows and ruffles aren’t going to iron themselves! Spend the day helping your lolita fashion fan doing wardrobe tasks like sewing on buttons, handwashing garments, or iron/steaming. End the day with a steaming cup of tea or hot chocolate and it sounds like a great afternoon!
