A Different Kind of Christmas: Ways to Gift an Experience with an Inclusive Personal Stylist

From personalised style reports to one-to-one styling sessions, discover thoughtful ways to give the gift of feeling more like yourself.

Christmas is just around the corner, and if you're anything like me, you might already be starting to think about gifts for the people you love (or perhaps adding a few things to your own wishlist!).

But what if, instead of buying someone more clothes, you gave them the opportunity to feel more comfortable, confident and themselves in the clothes they already own?

I'm Rachel, an inclusive personal stylist and founder of Rachel Blanckensee Styling. I help people of all ages, sizes, identities and backgrounds discover or reconnect with their personal style through practical tools, helpful frameworks and supportive, judgement-free guidance.

Whether you're feeling a little lost with your wardrobe, struggling to figure out what feels like you, or simply want to make getting dressed and shopping a little easier, there are lots of ways we can work together.

And if you're looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift for someone who might enjoy a little help with their personal style, some of these services could be just the thing!

Here's a little introduction to what I offer.

Personalised Virtual Style Report

A thoughtful gift for someone who loves to do things at their own pace.

My Personalised Virtual Style Report is a relatively new addition to RB Styling and is a great option for anyone who would prefer a more hands-off approach to personal styling.

It starts with a questionnaire that you can complete in your own time, giving you the opportunity to reflect on your style, lifestyle, preferences and what you'd like to get out of your wardrobe.

Once completed, you’ll receive a personalised report of 25+ pages, packed with practical tools, helpful frameworks, outfit inspiration and guidance on your most successful colours.

The report also includes virtual colour analysis based on an optional selfie, helping you understand which colours might work particularly well with your natural features.

It's something you can dip in and out of, revisit whenever you need a little inspiration, and work through entirely at your own pace.

Perfect for: Someone who enjoys having time to reflect, prefers working independently, or would love a fresh perspective on their personal style without needing to attend an appointment.

Price: €75

Gift a Personal Styling Experience

Give someone the gift of feeling confident, comfortable and more like themselves in their clothes.

Whether they're looking to rediscover their personal style, make getting dressed easier, understand what really suits them or simply enjoy some time dedicated to themselves, an RB Styling gift voucher is a thoughtful and genuinely useful gift.

Gift vouchers are available for any amount and can be used towards any Rachel Blanckensee Styling service, including Style Consultations, Wardrobe Reviews, Personal Shopping and more.

You choose the amount, and they can choose the experience that's right for them.

Gift vouchers have no expiry date, so there's no pressure to book straight away. They can take their time deciding what they'd like to explore and when they'd like to do it.

Here are some of the experiences available:

An empowering six-hour personal styling experience, spread across two appointments, combining a wardrobe review with an intentional personal shopping trip.

This is a comprehensive styling experience, giving us time to explore your personal style, make the most of your existing wardrobe and find new pieces that work for you.

Session 1: 3 hours at your home

  • We'll start with the Essential one-hour consultation to explore your style, introduce simple, practical tools to make getting dressed easier, and provide initial guidance on your most successful colours.

  • Together, we'll visit up to three shops, prioritising your list and exploring how potential purchases fit into your wardrobe and existing outfits.

  • There's never any pressure to buy. The real value is learning how to assess fit, fabric and quality, and how to build outfits that work for you, so you can feel more confident making shopping decisions for yourself in the future.

Perfect for: Someone who finds shopping overwhelming, is struggling to find clothes they enjoy wearing, or would appreciate dedicated support with their wardrobe and a fresh perspective on their personal style.

A little more than just clothes

I believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable, confident and like themselves in what they wear.

Personal styling isn't about following trends, dressing for someone else's idea of what looks good or buying an entirely new wardrobe. It's about understanding what works for you, making more intentional choices and finding ways to enjoy getting dressed.

My approach is inclusive, supportive and completely judgement-free. I'm particularly passionate about working with people who feel excluded from the typical fashion space, whether that's because of their size, identity, disability, neurodivergence, health circumstances or simply because fashion has never felt like it was for them.

So whether you're treating yourself to a little wardrobe refresh or looking for a thoughtful gift for someone else this Christmas, I'd love to help.

Buy Less. Wear More. Love What You Own.
