While it’s a bittersweet moment, going-away gifts for friends not only honor the milestone in their life, but help show your appreciation and love for them — even if you’re sad they’re leaving.

If you’re a fan of the Harry’s House singer, then you need to make sure this book is on your coffee table next to the Watermelon Sugar candle (of course). Within its pages are three sections that talk about his music, style and appeal to society. On top of that, you’ll be able to drool over some of his most jaw-dropping looks, including outfits from Coachella 2022 and the Met Gala.
The book is expected to drop on Oct. 24, but rather than mark your calendar now and wait, you can preorder it and expect it to be delivered the moment it comes out. Also, preordering will ensure you snag a copy because the last thing you want is to wait until release day and see that it’s sold out.
