Anthropologie, $32
Is there a rule that all slippers have to be bigger than bread boxes and too embarrassing to wear beyond the front steps when you pick up the newspaper? These tweed ballet-shoe flats come with your choice of blue or pink bows. Just be sure to tell the recipient that they’re slippers before she wears them out to dinner.
