illesteva Portofino II Sunglasses
illesteva
illesteva.com
$177.00
"For years, I was the type of person who only bought cheap sunglasses. My go-to was H&M, and one time I spent $40 on a pair from Anthropologie and almost started hyperventilating. But last summer, my favorite pair of cheapos broke, so I decided that I was old enough to finally invest in a nice pair of sunglasses. I didn’t want to spend more than $300, so I started researching different brands and that’s when I discovered illesteva.
"All their sunglasses were so cute (and somewhat affordable) and I wanted to buy every pair. I finally settled on the Portofinos and still feel so stylish every time I put them on and check myself out in a mirror. I fully believe it was money well spent!" — Erica Murphy, director of SEO & content

Milk Makeup KUSH High Volume Mascara
KUSH
sephora.com
$24.00
"It would be easy to dismiss Milk Makeup’s Kush Mascara because of its gimmicky marketing, but the product is actually fantastic. First of all, its packaging makes it really fun to use — it’s a weighty metal tube that feels like holding a relay baton. Its brush is thick and fluffy, and swipes through all of my lashes cleanly.
"The vegan and cruelty-free formula itself contains fibers that add buildable, dramatic length to my eyelashes, and though this mascara isn’t advertised as being waterproof, I’ve found it holds up well against my hay-fever allergy tears.
"FYI, it contains cannabis seed oil, but this is not the same as CBD — it’s simply a nourishing, hemp-derived oil that acts as a binding agent for the mascara’s fibers. Honestly, this is a gift for myself that I’m going to be buying over and over again." — Melanie Yates, senior home decor editor

LectroFan Micro2 Sleep Sound Machine and Bluetooth Speaker - White
Adaptive Sound Technologies

$26.17
"LectroFan just came out with a new, more portable version of its white-noise machine — and it’s the perfect, inexpensive gift for yourself or others. It’s just 2 inches tall, has a full day of battery life, and is capable of playing 11 built-in sounds to help you fall asleep faster. Sounds include five digital fan options, four variations of white, pink, and brown noise, plus two ocean-surf sounds.
"What I love most about it is that not only does it work as a sound machine, the LectroFan Micro2 even doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. I was shocked at how loud and impressive the sound quality was. As you’d expect from a speaker this small, bass is lacking, but I was blown away at how loud this little guy could get. I won’t travel without it." — Brandon Carte, technology editor

This Brooklinen bedding set wraps you in next-level luxury every single night, so you can sleep snugly and wake up feeling totally refreshed. Just slip a set over your mattress, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
"Its uber-buttery 480-thread count is so cozy, it’ll help you drift off to sleep sooner, and because you won’t consistently wake up feeling warm through the night, you’ll snooze even more soundly. What’s a better gift than that?" — Zarah Kavarana, associate editor
