Fenty Snackz Stunna Lip Paints

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: The patron saint of holiday lip inspo, Rihanna, just dropped Snackz — a.k.a minis of some of her most popular products — at Target, among them her Stunna Lip Paints. Available in her crazy-popular universal red, Uncensored, as well as rosy mauve Uncuffed and chocolate brown Unveil, these matte finish, long-wear lip colors stay put through multi-course meals, kisses under the mistletoe, hours of caroling and much, much more.

L'Occitane Hand Creams

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: You can buy flowers or this “bouquet” of L'Occitane hand creams (I'm all for the latter). This moisturizer is a dream for anyone who’s keen on giving their hands some extra TLC whenever, wherever. Each of the six hand creams are packed with skin-softening formulas and a bonus: there’s just as many heavenly scents to choose from, whether it be calming lavender or soothing almond.

Dyson Holiday Airwrap

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director:  Part of my 2024 resolution is to do proper blowouts twice a week so I’m investing in the Dyson Airwrap as a gift to myself. The brand’s holiday edition comes in this chic blue-blush colorway and includes six attachments (different sized curling barrels, a volumizing brush, a smoothing brush, a firm smoothing brush, and a pre-styling dryer), plus a comb. Salon-worthy blowouts, here I come!

Buy It! Dyson Holiday Airwrap,  $599.99; dyson.com

Boden Pajamas

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: Luxe pajamas are one of my go-to gifts to give (and get) because it’s not something people typically buy for themselves. Boden — a brand I can’t get enough of right now — has some of my favorite top and bottom sets. They’re 100% cotton and come in three gorgeous prints.

Buy It! Boden Cotton-Sateen Pajamas, $130 for the set (top and bottom sold separately); bodenusa.com

Pleasing Bright, Hot Fragrance

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: I love a good bottle on my vanity — not necessarily an over-the-top one, just a good one. The new fragrances from Harry Styles' brand Pleasing are all very luxurious from top to bottom. They smell amazing, they come in a heavy bottle that sits beautifully on your shelf and even the box is hefty. While there are three to choose from, and you can't go wrong with any, Bright, Hot is a warm tobacco-y scent perfect for the wintertime.

Buy It! Pleasing Bright, Hot fragrance, $135; pleasing.com

Supergoop Lipshade Mineral SPF Lipstick

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: In an effort to incorporate lip care into my skin care routine, I've been making sure to use products that not only pack hydration but also SPF coverage. (Because all our products need to work double-duty, amiright?) Enter this multifaceted lipstick from Supergoop. Thanks to the mix of mango, shea and murumuru butters, the formula leaves my pout feeling nourished. Plus, I like knowing that I have the added SPF protection from the mineral sunscreen baked in. It's also buildable with a nice bold lip pigment. Clearly, I can talk about this find all day which is why it's my-go to stocking stuffer this year. It also makes a great white elephant gift coming in at under $25.

Buy It! Supergoop Lipshade Mineral SPF Lipstick, $24; supergoop.com

Farm Rio Cardigan

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: Farm Rio dominates the statement sweater game with their colorful patterned styles that are a total outfit-maker. They have so many great options right now, but this cardigan which is bright blue with leaves in the front and pale pink with flowers in the back, from the brand’s holiday capsule collection is the one going on my own wish list. I’ll wear it with jeans during the day and throw it over a slip dress at night.

Buy It! Farm Rio Toucans Scarf Mixed Prints Knit Cardigan, $185; farmrio.com

The Laundress Gift Set

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If you like to buy unique gifts that you know your friends and family won't buy for themselves, then it's time to get lost on TheLaundress.com. The fabric care company offers a variety of formulas featuring beautiful fragrances and gentle ingredients that clean your favorite pieces — from cashmere sweaters to your favorite T-shirt — while maintaining the quality and fit of the clothing. The White and Darks Gift Set is a great introduction to the brand, while The Baby Fragrance Free Gift Set makes a thoughtful, useful present for any new moms in your life.

Beachwaver Glitter Flatiron

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: My sister always tells me to just get her whatever I like from all the beauty products I've tested throughout the year. She's getting some practical skincare and a completely over-the-top glitter flatiron from the brand that totally reinvented the curling iron (and this one can add waves, too).

Buy It! Beachwaver flatiron, $49 (orig. $149); beachwaver.com

Prince x Vacation Ball Boy Scented Candle

Mackenzie Schmidt, Home and Travel Editor: Inspired by an interoffice tennis tournament, cult-favorite sunscreen brand Vacation, teamed up with iconic tennis ball brand Prince, to capture the smell of an afternoon on the court, with notes of a freshly opened can of tennis balls and sunscreen (naturally), but also a fresh cotton sweatband and cucumber sandwiches. It's the perfect cheeky home accent for any player or fan (Also available as a car air freshener!)

Buy It! Prince x Vacation Ball Boy Scented Candle, $42, vacation.inc

Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Dave Quinn, Senior Editor: You may think video games are just for kids, but in the age where nostalgia rules, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is delightful throwback that will immediately capture that feeling of plugging in your Nintendo for the first time on Christmas morning. The first new mainstream Super Mario Bros. offering since 2017, the Switch game brings Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi and friends back to a 2D side-scrolling adventure similar to the one players first experienced when the franchise launched in 1985. Of course, the action (and graphics) in Super Mario Bros. Wonder are far more advanced this time around, with all new foes, levels and power-ups for players to tackle. It’s ridiculous fun. Just beware: it’s hard to stop smiling the entire time you’re playing. 

Buy It! Super Mario Bros. Wonder, $59.99; Amazon.com

Nespresso Vertuo Festive Pack

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: There are a lot of coffee drinkers in my family, so Nespresso is often a one-stop shop for me when getting my gifts in order. The brand’s holiday exclusive Vertuo Festive Pack offers three festive pod flavors that are perfect for dipping your holiday cookies in. Plus, the set comes with one box of limited-edition chocolate and two limited-edition mugs.

Buy It! Vertuo Festive Pack, $119;  nespresso.com

Josie Maran Bodycare Set

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: I am like Goldilocks of the body scrub world. After testing countless formulas, I know when one is just right. This formula is just that thanks to its gentle but effective sugar crystals — hence, it's the perfect present for anyone in your life who has long taken their body care routine seriously or has recently hopped on the everything shower bandwagon. Paired with Maran's luscious cult-favorite argan oil body butter, this indulgent, deliciously scented duo (the scrub has a lemon scent and the body butter vanilla) is sure to make its recipient feel merry and bright.

Buy It! Josie Maran Aix-En-Provence Bodycare Duet, $28; josiemaran.com

S.E.A. Bracelets

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: The best gifts are the ones that aren’t just pretty, but also help others. These bracelet sets check both boxes. Created by a trio of women — Amri Kibbler, founder of HeyMama; Stacy Igel, founder of Boy Meets Girl; and Elyse Ryan, founder of ElyseRyan Jewelry — the two bracelets (one for you and one for a person in your life that is undergoing treatment) feature selenite stones, which symbolize peace and healing. Even better: 50 percent of the net proceeds from every purchase go to the organization My Cancer Family.

Buy It! S.E.A. Bracelet Set, $89; elyseryanjewelry.com

Vince Cashmere Reverse Jersey Pillow

Mackenzie Schmidt, Home and Travel Editor: This is the definition of quiet luxury when it comes to home. A subtle-hued, phenomenally soft 100% cashmere pillow, with just enough design detail — look at those gently frayed exposed edges — to make its presence known on the sofa. These are available in two colors, camel and gray, and in two sizes, square and rectangular: all simple, all simply gorgeous.

Buy It! Vince Cashmere Reverse Jersey Rectangle Pillow, $195, vince.com

SZ Blockprint Napkins

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: It is extraordinarily hard to buy anything for my mother she doesn't already have, which is why I like to get her something that's just pretty and fun — like these perfectly preppy pale blue hand-block printed napkins that match he decor in her new Florida house.

Buy It! SZ Blockprint napkins in cashmere blue, $68; szblockprints.com

Jones Road x The George Candle

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: Come holiday season there are thousands of candles that smell like everything from baked goods to balsam trees. But if you're looking for a scent that's a little unexpected, gift beauty guru Bobbi Brown's candle collaboration between her makeup and skin care brand Jones Road and her boutique hotel The George. Housed in a matte black, glass vessel its aroma — a blend of patchouli, neroli, and grapefruit — sparks the vibe of a winters' night.

Buy It! Jones Road x The George Candle, $48; jonesroadbeauty.com

Glam Squad Gift Card

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: My sister has a ton of weddings next year, so I’m giving her the gift of glam so she doesn’t have to stress about getting ready. (Finding the perfect wedding guest dress is stressful enough!)

'Oh My Gosh, I Love Your Shoes!' by Sophia Webster

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: You've seen the gorgeous shoes Sophia Webster makes, but do you know how her eponymous label came to be?

Grand Cosmetics Brow, Lash & Lip Care Set

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: After months of testing makeup for beauty awards, I'm in reset-mode. So, I put this set which features the very best the award-winning brand has to offer, including its cult-classic brow and lash serums plus its lip scrub and plumper, high on my wish list to give those areas a much-needed boost while I lay off makeup over the holidays.

Buy It! Grande Cosmetics Five-Star Favorites, $69; grandecosmetics.com

Soru Jewelry Earrings

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: This brand keeps popping up on my Instagram feed, so I decided to order a piece and check it out IRL. I’m glad I did. I love the vintage charm of these earrings (without the vintage price point). I also love that they aren’t too heavy. They’re a nice way to mix up an ear stack. I plan to wear them in place of my go-to gold hoops this holiday season.

Buy It! Soru Ti Amo Earrings, $179; sorujewellery.com 

Bespoke Post Clothing

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: My husband owns several items from Bespoke Post, so I know it’s a solid destination for guy gifts. I was window-shopping on the site and while it was tempting to buy him a hand-painted ax (because if you’re going to chop wood, you should do it in style!), I ended up getting some pieces from their in-house brand, Line of the Trade, including a waffle-knit sweater and a fleece-lined corduroy jacket that has that Yellowstone off-duty cowboy vibe guys love.

Buy It! Bespoke Post Line of Trade Norfolk Sweater, $80 and Montana Trucker Jacket, $140; bespokepost.com

Express Rhinestone Knot Strap Slouch Bag

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: One can never have too many bags. It's a simple fact. And the beauty of this bag is that you can use it for any special occasion. If you gift it to someone this holiday season, the recipient can wear it for New Year's and then every holiday beyond. And if silver doesn't do it for you, it also comes in gold or black. You have options!

Buy It! Rhinestone Knot Strap Slouch Bag, $69; express.com

Parke Varsity Crewneck Sweatshirt

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Thanks to TikTok, the varsity sweatshirt trend has gained new life. The classic look made streetwear famous by ‘90s icons like Princess Diana is trending big now, making this topper the perfect gift.

Buy It! Parke Varsity Crewneck Sweatshirt, $115; parkeofficial.com

Mignonne Gavigan Necklace

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: At 37, there are some parts of my wardrobe I'm just not going to update (sorry, I just can't pull off the crop top/blazer combo) but I have no excuse for my jewelry box being out of date. This statement-making yet somehow subtle necklace from Mignonne Gavigan (Blake Lively and Jessica Alba are fans) is just the thing to bring my style into 2024 — anyone shopping for me can consider this their neon-sign hint.

Buy It! Mignonne Gavigan skinny "Georgie" necklace in multi, $215; bunnyandbabe.com

Yoto Mini

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: I try to keep my kids off screens as much as possible, but on vacation, all bets are off. Staring down a full two weeks of winter break, however, I was looking for something portable that was a little less zombifying. This palm-size Yoto Mini plays stories based on what card you pop in, and includes a headphone jack (for when I can't listen to Peppa Pig's voice for one more second) and an okay-to-wake clock (for when I'd like to sleep past 6:00 on vacation, thank you).

Buy It! Yoto Mini, $70; yotoplay.com

Stone and Strand Ruby Heart Charm

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Charms are one of the hottest beauty trends right now, and Stone and Strand is offering up some of the best fine jewelry keepsakes at an accessible price point. I’m getting this as a starter for my daughter’s jewelry collection.

Kansas City Chiefs Upland '47 Bennett Hood

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: Whether you have a real NFL fan in your life or you have a Swiftie in your life who is now a Chiefs fan, '47 has gear that will get them through this season so they can cheer for Mr. Taylor Swift. Er, we mean Travis Kelce. However, if you just have a sports-lover in your life that you need to shop for, '47 has plenty to choose from.

Buy It! Kansas City Chiefs Upland '47 Bennett Hood, $85, 47brand.com

Rolling Stones Yankees Vinyl

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: For the music collectors in your life, The Rolling Stones has teamed up with the MLB for a limited-edition vinyl of their album Hackney Diamonds.

Buy It! Stones x New York Yankees Vinyl, $38; therollingstonesshop.com

Favorite Daughter Sweatshirt

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: In addition to making the absolutely best pants ever, Favorite Daughter has become my go-to for gifts, thanks to their clever logo collection. Last year, I bought the “Mom of the Year” sweatshirt for my mom and my sister-in-law and it was a huge hit. This year, I’m going to buy the “Favorite Daughter” style for my teenage nieces.

Buy It! Favorite Daughter Sweatshirt, $88; shopfavoritedaughter.com

Sandy Beach Doll

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Andrea got one of these for her daughter last summer, and they affectionately named it “Big Baby.” It was the hit at their town beach, so she convinced me to get one for my 2-year-old daughter Gracie who became a big sister this year. (She likely will not be sharing it with her baby brother.)

Buy It! Sandy Beach Doll Kit, $60; sandybeachdoll.com

Jenny Bird Earrings Play Kit

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Jenny Bird made our PEOPLE Style Awards list in 2023 for packing a major impact at an affordable price, and we're not the only ones who love the brand: Tons of celebrities (from Gabrielle Union to Hailey Bieber to Selena Gomez) have their sexy, sculptural pieces on repeat. This "play kit" contains three pairs of earrings to mix-and-match with the included charms — it's a great value or fun to split up between your besties.

Buy It! Jenny Bird "Earrings Play Kit," $170; jenny-bird.com

StickyBe Socks

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: I recently rediscovered Pilates after a decade-long hiatus and my first generation grippy socks are a dead giveaway that I haven’t been on a reformer since Taylor Swift dropped her Red album. They have all the functional bells and whistles you (elastic arch support for compression and a padded footbed) and the inspirational mantras come in handy during what feels like an hour-long plank series.

Buy It! StickyBe Socks Colorful Mantra Box, $94; stickybesocks.com

Argent Blazer

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If this brand is not on your radar yet, it should be. The Argent ethos is centered on changing the conversation around working women’s wardrobes with a focus on versatile power pieces that will have longevity in your closet. I own this blazer and can attest to the confidence I feel when wearing it. The colorblock print also broke my boring black blazer rut. I like the way it looks with jeans just as much as I do with the matching trousers. My sister is a teacher (and budding TikTok star!) and this is the perfect present for her this year.

Buy It! Argent Colorblocked Blazer, $495; argentwork.com

PerfectWhiteTee Sweats

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Andrea told me about the Instagram account Things I Bought and Liked, and I'm addicted. Everything she's bought and liked is a winner. That's why I'm confidently giving these sweats to a few BFFs this holiday without even trying them on — if she's raving about it, I know they're worth the investment.

Buy It! PerfectWhiteTee "Johnny" pants, $110; perfectwhitetee.com

Johnnie-O Sweatshirt

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: My love language is getting my husband a quarter-zip for every Hanukkah, knowing he won't wear anything else I buy him anyway. This brand's are well-made and not logo-heavy, so everyone wins.

Buy It! Johnnie-O quarter-zip pullover, $128; johnnie-o.com

Pottery Barn Kids Light Up Moon

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: I first saw this moon on influencer Sincerely Jules' (Julie Sariñana) Instagram feed, in a photo debuting her son's serene nursery. She partnered with Pottery Barn Kids on the design and it immediately inspired me to finish my son’s room. I love how versatile the moon is and that it can grow with him.

Buy It! Pottery Barn Paper Mache Light Up Moon, $229; potterybarnkids.com

Béis Bag

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: What I love most about Béis pieces is that they can be used for anything: a week-long vacation or overnight staycation, or just a trip to the gym. Their latest duffle is made out of vegan leather, and its minimalistic design fits into anyone's travel closet.

Buy It! Premium Duffle, $308; beistravel.com

AYR The Deep End Shirt

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: There are very few gifts that are truly foolproof. This cotton button down is one of them. Just ask Oprah, who is one of its many fans. It has the perfect oversized fit, comes in a range of solids and stripes and looks great whether you do a full tuck, half-tuck or leave it out. It’s also perfect for layering — I’ve worn it over a T-shirt and under sweaters.

Buy It! AYR The Deep End, $165; ayr.com

Younique Advent Calendar

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: Advent calendars are a great way to brighten anyone’s day and Younique’s makeup version is sure to put a smile on any beauty fanatic’s face. Half the fun is in unboxing itself while the other is discovering the 12 full-size lip and lash products, brushes and more, which are great for any beginner or pro in your life! It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Buy It! Younique 12 Days of You advent calendar, $154; youniqueproducts.com

Lauren Moshi Crystal Mushroom Sweatshirt

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Mushrooms are having a moment (just ask Gwyneth Paltrow). And an easy way to get in on the fun(ghi) is to embrace mushroom print which is popping up across a lot of brands. Enter this crystal mushroom sweatshirt from Lauren Moshi which is cozy, looks cool and goes great with sweatpants or jeans.

Buy It! Lauren Moshi Crystal Mushroom Sweatshirt, $198; laurenmoshi.com

Lake Pajamas

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: There’s nothing that completes the holidays quite like a pair of festive pajamas, but if you, like me, don’t love to go over the top with kitschy patterns, these scarlet cotton jammies are the ones you want stashed in your drawers.

Buy It! Lake Poplin Piped Pants Set, $136; lakepajamas.com

Aura Watch

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: The über luxe vibe of this watch echoes the latest trend in timepieces with the skeletal design. The best part? It comes at a far more accessible price point, making it a great gift for any watch lover on you list.

Buy It! Aura Watch FKM SKELETON 001 watch, $400; aura.watch 

Lilysilk Blouse

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: LILYSILK's luxurious silk shirts and cashmere sweaters are affordably priced and perfect for your friend who wants to steal Jessica Alba's style.

Dolce Vita Boots

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If you’re looking for some versatility, this knee-high boot goes with everything from a mini skirt to mom jeans. And they’re super comfortable. (I plan to wear them on NYE - they’re an instant outfit maker.)

Buy It! Dolce Vita Rocky Boots, $240; dolcevita.com

Molton Brown Wild Mint & Lavandin Collection

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: I was in fierce denial over how soon we'll be ringing in 2024. But as I move to a place of acceptance, I've started making a list of things I am looking forward to. One is kicking off the year with a new scent. Hey, that's why they call it a fresh start, right? Molton Brown's new collection is inspired by a walk through the forest in Provence. While the shower gel's herbaceous fragrance is bursting with notes of mint, basil and lavandin, a type of lavender, for the eau de parfum, they added a creamy nutmeg note to all those aromas that adds a cozy and intoxicating vibe.

Buy It! Molton Brown Wild Mint & Lavandin Bath & Shower Gel, $35, and Eau de Parfum, $160; moltonbrown.com

The Spice House 'Hot and Spicy' Collection

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: My brother-in-law loves hot sauce, so I've gotten him a weird bottle every year for the past half-decade or so. This year I'm upgrading my gift to a set of spice blends that bring the heat, including Peri Peri, Adobo and "Chicago Fire" barbecue rub, from one of my favorite local stores.

Buy It! The Spice House 'Hot and Spicy' Collection, $42; thespicehouse.com

SeaVees Sneakers

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: These high-tops are so comfortable. The chunky bottom adds no weight to the shoe, and the sole feels like you're walking on clouds. Love that they can be thrown on with jeans and a T-shirt or paired with a dress. (Gwyneth Paltrow basically wears them with anything.)

Buy It! SeaVees La Brea Lug High Top Platform, $120; seavees.com

Dior Discovery Set

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: Advent calendars are a brilliant way to get the person who has everything something that will light up their eyes. Nordstrom has about a dozen to choose from ranging from $68 to $560. I'm partial to this one from Dior, which depicts the label's historic boutique on the exterior. Inside, it features two fragrances, a plumping face serum and Dior's iconic Rouge Dior lipstick in shade 999.

Buy It! Dior Le Mini 30 Montaigne Holiday 2023 Discovery Set, $160; nordstrom.com

Vuori Jacket

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Vuori has quickly become that brand that everyone in your family is talking about. And for good reason. Every season they serve up a number of on-trend staples. This insulated topper looks just as good on a hike as it does at happy hour.

Buy It! Vuori Echo Insulated Jacket, $198; vuori.com 

Hudson Reconstructed Skirt

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: Denim midi skirts have dominated street style this fall and now, Hudson is taking the trend to the next level with its sexy vegan leather version (complete with a center slit). It’s a great gift for any fashion-enthusiast but you should also get one for yourself because it’s such a versatile and chic find.

Buy It! Hudson Reconstructed Skirt, $235; hudsonjeans.com

DedCool x OUAI Melrose Place Laundry Day Set

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: Listen, gifting during the holidays still requires the essentials, but that doesn't mean the essentials have to be boring. If someone on your list needs the basics like laundry detergent, spice things up with this kit from Dedcool and Ouai. It comes with detergent and dryer sheets scented in a gorgeous musky floral combo.

Buy It! DedCool x OUAI Melrose Place Laundry Day Set, $40; dedcool.com

Radley London Hanley Close Medium Flapover Shoulder

Karli Bendlin, Associate Director of Content Strategy: As much as I love a statement accessory, you can't go wrong with gifting a classic, and this black shoulder bag from Radley London is the perfect staple. The chic croc print goes with everything, and it's one of the roomier shoulder bags I've used (you can fit a phone *and* sunglasses — a rarity). Any fashion enthusiast on your list would be thrilled to receive.

Buy It! Radley London Hanley Close Medium Flapover Shoulder, $228, radleylondon.com

Moon Teeth Whitener

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: For your family members who prefer practical gifts, this whitening kit is the perfect (extra nice) stocking stuffer. The LED device is super simple to use and pairs with whitening strips. (It also requires zero rinsing, for those who embrace the lazy life).

Buy It! Teeth Whitening Device, $89.99; moonoralbeauty.com

Joe's The Harper Sweater

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: I’ve been a longtime fan of Joe’s jeans (they have a great wide-leg style this season), but I only recently discovered their excellent knitwear. This cable knit turtleneck would make a great gift since it’s classic enough to suit a range of tastes but has cool details like the flared sleeves to make it more gift-worthy.

Buy It! Joe’s The Harper Sweater, $268; joesjeans.com

Astrid & Miyu Essential Medium Hoops

Karli Bendlin, Associate Director of Content Strategy: I love gifting someone a present they can use constantly, which is why I'm giving these Astrid & Miyu hoops to multiple people on my list. They're the perfect pair of wear-everywhere-hoops and work with pretty much any jewelry style, whether you're gifting to an understated minimalist or a dedicated earring stacker.

Buy It! Astrid & Miyu Essential Medium Hoops, $85, us.astridandmiyu.com

Uwila Day-of-the-Week Bundle

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: Like pajamas, fancy undies make a great gift since they’re something you need but not necessarily something you’d spend a lot of money on. I just discovered this brand’s best-selling “Soft Silk” scalloped-edge briefs. They’re incredibly comfortable (no wedgies!) and super cute.

Buy It! Uwila Day-of-the-Week Bundle; $275; at uwilawarrior.com

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: I love the range Saltwater Luxe offers, from cozy sweaters to activewear to dresses perfect for a holiday party (like this one). Their dresses are so comfy to wear and easy to dress up or down by swapping out sneakers for heels or layering on some jewelry, and I always get so many compliments at the office or events when I'm wearing one of their pieces.

Buy It! Floral Midi Dress, $149; saltwaterluxe.com

Crunch Labs STEM Box

Alex Apatoff: Executive Editor: If you, like me, are overwhelmed by the idea of a mountain of stuff on Christmas morning, you might love asking relatives for a subscription to a monthly box of creative fun, curated by NASA engineer-turned-YouTube star Mark Rober. For $25 a month, your kid can build (among other things) a disc launcher and drawing machine, and enter to win a trip to Rober's CrunchLabs in person.

Jennifer Behr Chiron Earrings

Andrea Lavinthal, Style + Beauty Director: In addition to making the hair bows and headbands that all of Hollywood is wearing out and about right now, Jennifer Behr creates the most gorgeous jewelry. This celestial-inspired handmade crystal pair is what New Year’s Eve party ensemble dreams are made of.

Buy It! Jennifer Behr Chiron Earrings $398; jenniferbehr.com

Merit Set

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: This cute set is the perfect gift for your friends who want to try a range of new products but aren't quite ready to commit to a full-size buy. The lip liner is the perfect neutral shade, and the glow serum and mini mascara are perfect for some glow on the go while traveling during the holiday season.

Buy It! MERIT Le Gloss Set, $100; meritbeauty.com

Joey Wagon

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Are the grandparents in your family always the first to ask for the holiday wish list, or is it just mine? This extraordinarily fancy wagon is about as well-engineered as a car (and costs about as much too), but they'll get miles of use out of it toting grandkids back and forth from the beach at the aforementioned Florida house, and they can use it to haul their cooler and snacks when we're not all visiting.

Buy It! Joey wagon, $685; myjoey.com

Vanity Planet Facial Steamer

Genevieve Cepeda, Beauty Intern: If you have a loved one in desperate need of a spa day, give them the gift of at-home pampering all year long. This Vanity Planet steamer clears pores and hydrates your skin — plus, it can be used with essential oils when you’re in need of a little extra self care. This year, I’m gifting this at-home spa tool to everyone who needs a little de-stressing.

Buy It! Vanity Planet Aira Ionic Facial Steamer, $69; vanityplanet.com

Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Essentials Gift Set

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: Aveda's products have always smelled incredible (I could probably hang out in one of their stores for a few hours just to luxuriate in the scent...). These limited-edition sets are beautifully packaged in reusable recycled fiber boxes — and yes, all the products inside feature the brand's signature aroma (organic ylang-ylang, rose and marjoram).

Faux Fur Throw

Lauren Lieberman, Managing Photo Director: This insanely plush faux fur throw is my go-to gift for the people in my life that are difficult to shop for. With several colors to choose from, it is the perfect addition to a winter movie night curled up on the couch next to a fire.

Monique Jessen, Contributing Correspondent: If you want to nail the smokey eye look this festive season (it's harder than it looks!), look no further than British makeup artist Hannah Martin's new book Makeup. Dubbed the "Queen of the smokey eye" and famous for her uber-glam YouTube tutorials and royal clients (she did Princess Eugenie's glowing bridal look), Martin has been in the business for 20 years and her book is packed with insider tips and step-by-step guides for every scenario, including product recommendations!

Sheertex Glitter Rip-Resist Tights

Karli Bendlin, Associate Director of Content Strategy: While gifting someone a pair of tights might not seem exciting, these Sheertex Glitter Rip-Resist Tights are not your average stockings. Not only do they live up to their rip-resist promise (I've worn all of my Sheertex pairs dozens of times without a tear), but the sparkly finish makes them feel especially fancy. They're the perfect gift for anyone looking to jazz up their everyday wardrobe.

Ice Molds

Melody Chiu, Executive Editor: These ice molds are the perfect stocking stuffer for your loved ones who enjoy a fancy cocktail at home. (Old fashioneds in pajamas, anyone?)

ILIA Beauty of Balm Set

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: If you’re looking for stocking stuffer ideas, ILIA has you covered. This lip set features three limited-edition shades of the brand’s award-winning Lip Wrap Reviving Balm - which goes on smooth and looks like a gloss.

SKIMS Menswear Collection

Nicholas Rice, Staff Editor: Ever since Kim Kardashian announced that her iconic SKIMS line would be getting a menswear collection earlier this year, I just knew I had to get my hands on some of the products.

With Christmas right around the corner, and it getting colder and colder outside, now is the perfect time for me to own these clothing items, so I’ve been telling all my friends and family that I want them this holiday season.

Some standout items that caught my eye include the Fleece Lounge Mens Hoodie and the Fleece Lounge Mens Tapered Jogger — because who doesn’t love a matching set? And you can’t forget about staying warm all over, so I’m also interested in the SKIMS Cotton Mens 3” Boxer Brief with a 3-park of the Mens Tube Crew Sock.

Ettinger London Wallet

Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Bringing vibrant pops of color to a classic design, this beautifully crafted wallet is well worth the investment. For an added personal touch, the brand also offers monogramming.

Men's Curry Acid Wash Hoodie

Nicholas Rice, Staff Editor: All of my friends and family like to make fun of me for not including colors other than black, white and gray into my clothing color palette (sometimes there’s the occasional navy blue) so when I was gifted this Men's Curry Acid Wash Hoodie from Stephen Curry's Under Armor collaboration, it fit right into my closet.

But what sets this piece apart from others is that it has been reworn each week, given how comfortable and stylish it is. It has a nice fit where it isn’t too thin or feels oversized — perfect for me! Plus, it has a giant pocket in the front. Who doesn’t love having an extra pocket?!

Leret Leret Cashmere Sweater

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: Who doesn't want a bit of cashmere wrapped up with a bow during the holiday season? If you're ready to splurge a little bit for someone on your list, might I suggest a luxurious Leret Leret crewneck sweater? They come in a variety of colors with a bunch of different graphics to choose from, but several people in my life could benefit from the boozy option. (No judgment, I love ya for it!)
