Holiday Gift Guide: New England Prep School

The holidays are right around the corner, and with the wreaths and carols come our holiday gift guides. Today, we launch the first in a series of six trend-based gift round-ups: New England Prep School. 

The preppy, all-American fashion trend has, of course, been a recent mainstay on the runways and on the streets, with even self-proclaimed hipsters taking their style cues from the boarding school set. (On eBay, sales of items with the term "preppy" in the listing are up 45 percent in a recent 15-day period vs. a 15-day period six months ago.) These campus-ready holiday gift ideas are sure to please any recipient, no matter how far she is from her school days.
