Iced coffee coming right up!
If I've not stressed this enough, coffee o'clock is a basic bitch's favourite time of the day. This is the reason why the Ninja Coffee Bar is right up there on the Christmas list. Plus, it was co-developed by Columbian model and Modern Family star, Sofia Vergara and she's just fabulous.

Chanel shoes
A basic already has the River Island/Office/Topshop Chanel-inspired shoes, but she won't be content until she owns the real deal. Unfortunately the black/grey ones are (SO!) last season, so we’ll just have to ask for new season instead.

Makeup brushes
