From a jaw-dropping pair of hoops to a high-tech skincare tool and winter-proof jackets, these staff picks will win you “best gift giver” status for even the pickiest people on your list (sorry, Aunt Sue!). Did we basically just save Christmas? Perhaps.
The Portable Polaroid Printer
Fujifilm Instax Mini Link Dusty Pink Printer, Amazon, $84.99, amazon.com
“Wish that perfectly candid pic of you and your girls on your Camera Roll was actually a Polaroid picture you could hang on your wall? Well, now you can! I got this mini Polaroid printer as a birthday present a few years ago, and it’s such a genius gift idea for the sentimental friend who loves to snap everything (me). 🤳 This device is small enough to throw into your bag and it’s super easy to use! All you have to do is download the app, connect it to your phone’s Bluetooth, and pick which pictures on your phone you want to print. Then, the polaroid pops out directly from the device in less than 12 seconds. I love adding it to cards for an extra-special personalized touch." — Victoria, executive editor
The One-And-Done Styler
Mane It's Giving Body Large Hot Thermal Round Brush, Sephora, $98, sephora.com
“From the mind of Jen Atkin, celebrity hairstylist and founder of OUAI, comes her new hair tools venture, Mane. Unlike the Dyson Airwrap that only works on damp hair and costs a pretty penny, Mane's Thermal Round Brush only works on dry hair—think a round flat iron plate with bristles. It heats up in less than a minute and uses negative ions to reduce moisture loss while neutralizing static. The brush gives your hair body (hence the name!), volume, and bounce. If you don't have the coordination to use a blow dryer and round brush at the same time, this will become your new best friend. It's perfect if you're like me and only wash your hair once a week (don't judge!) and just need touch-ups throughout the week. It also comes in a medium-sized barrel for those rocking cute Zendaya-style bobs.” — Kate, brand partnerships manager

The Jaw-Dropping Earrings That Won’t Break the Bank
Timeless Pavé Single-Row Hoop Earrings, Pandora, $122.50, pandora.com
“Behold, my latest hyperfixation: these Pandora pavé hoops that are so glittery, they leave my close friends wondering if I secretly robbed a bank to afford them. These babies have so much shine to them, it’s hard to believe these aren’t real diamonds! I mean, leave it to the Pandora team to create a jaw-dropping product at an affordable price.” — Jennifer, staff writer

The Best-Selling Signature Scent
Xtra Milk Travel, DedCool, $128, dedcool.com
“I've worn the same fragrance since I was a teenager, but it was recently reformulated and I've been on the hunt for a new signature scent since. I wish I was like some of the fragrance girlies on TikTok who rotate through scents depending on their mood or season, but I am scent-sensitive and get migraines. I was seeing glowing reviews of DedCool's Xtra Milk all over TikTok, and I saw that white musk was one of the main notes, so I decided to bite the bullet on a travel sample. It's a blend of creamy, nostalgic notes of bergamot, white musk, and amber. It's light and perfect for any occasion. I loved it immediately and not a single headache to report!” — Kate, brand partnerships manager
The It-Girl Ballet Flat
Aveiro Zebra Ballerina Flat, Maguire, $240, maguireshoes.com
“I traveled carry-on only for a month (yes, I’m ambitious), meaning I needed to be very picky about what shoes I brought with me. For fashion month festivities, I required something both comfortable and cute, and these flats from Maguire fit the bill perfectly. In a funky yet subtle, zebra fit, these bad boys took me from fancy parties to casual croissant runs and every dressed-up or dressed-down occasion in between. Not to mention, I’ve got temperamental, wide width, and often achy feet and the construction of these flats accommodated all those concerns without any blisters or snags with wear. If you could only grab one flat, let it be these!” — Jennifer, staff writer
The Greatest Sleep Mask of All Time
Washable Silk Sleep Mask, Lunya, $50, lunya.co
“Sleep mask besties, let me hear you! I can’t sleep a wink without the Lunya Silk Sleep Mask. It’s true. Storytime: A week ago, I forgot my sleep mask at home and drove 30 minutes back to my house to pick it up. What makes this baby special is that it blocks out all the light and the thickness of this mask is also noise-reducing. Plus, silk is so much better for you, especially if you have sensitive skin, and it’s machine washable. I've never had a more restful sleep… ever!”— Kelly, contributor
The Bag That Fits All of Your Essentials
Large Nylon Crescent Bag in Lemongrass, Baggu, $62, baggu.com
“I thought I could be one of those girls who runs around town with a cute little shoulder bag, but it’s time for me to stop being delulu. I need a giant bag—because I can’t leave home without clunky items like my 32 oz. emotional support water bottle, a magazine in case I have downtime, and my laptop. Instead of opting for another floppy, cheap tote bag, I wanted to splurge on an everyday bag that I could wear hands-free and was cute enough for the IG feed. And this Baggu crescent-shaped beauty fits all of my criteria. It’s also made from recycled heavyweight nylon that’s machine washable, so it can withstand some wear and tear.” — Victoria, executive editor
The Sick Day Preventative
Wellness Warrior Supportive Roll-On Duo, Saje, $58, saje.com
“How I managed not to get sick after a month of running around and overworking is beyond me. Or is it because I bought these essential oil roll-ons along with me, and they actually work?! Before every flight, I’d roll these scents onto my wrist, underneath my nose, and into my palms and breathe deeply—all with the initial intention of masking any nasty smells that come with communal transportation. Now that I’m home, I stopped the ritual and immediately got a cold. Coincidence? Maybe, but if you’re looking for an additional step to preventing sickness, this could be for you!” — Jennifer, staff writer
The Coziest Teddy Bear Jacket
Foxy Sherpa Jacket in Ivory, Alo Yoga, $218, aloyoga.com
“This plush sherpa jacket has quickly become my go-to for fall and winter! I bought it last winter and it’s unbelievably cozy and super-versatile, making almost any outfit look cute and put together. I’ve even worn it in -27°F weather (with a sweater underneath, of course!), and it kept me perfectly warm. The detachable hood is a nice bonus for switching up your look or keeping it more casual. Whether I’m running errands, going to my workout class, or walking my dog, this jacket is both functional and stylish. It also comes in chocolate brown, black, and camel. Definitely a must-have for cold-weather layering!” — Cheska, social media specialist
The Better-for-the-Planet Hair Care
The Healthy Hair Starter Set, Everist, $72, helloeverist.com
"This shampoo and conditioner concentrate has a 77% smaller carbon impact and a 62% smaller waste impact than traditional water-filled shampoos and conditioners packaged in a plastic bottle (which are made of 70% water in the first place), according to their website. Impressive! So, how does it work exactly? It turns into a sudsy lather when activated with the water in your shower, so you only need a tiny bit each time. And because it’s technically not a liquid, it’s travel-friendly and will last you 50+ washes. Sounds like the future of hair care to me." — Victoria, executive editor

The Must-Have Travel Bag
Metro Backpack, Monos, $181, monos.com
“My travel motto? Travel light, travel right. And the key to not overpacking lies in the right accessories. Mine is this multi-compartment backpack from Monos that has me ditching anything that’s not necessary. Laptop sleeve? No need. My bag has a felted compartment to keep my electronics safe. Small bag to keep track of your passport? Nah, the bag has a secret compartment for that. Nothing has me feeling more smug than gliding through security and skipping out on fumbling through bags within bags, all because I chose the accessories that already have it all.” — Jennifer, staff writer

The DIY At-Home Facial
MINI+ Starter Kit, NuFACE®, $250, mynuface.com
“I received the NuFACE Mini+ as a Christmas gift last year, and I was a bit skeptical at first. It’s designed for facial toning, using microcurrent technology to stimulate and lift the skin. I used it for about two weeks and lost interest, but I picked it back up again in August, and I’m so glad I did! Since then, I’ve been using it regularly, and I can definitely see a difference in my skin. My face looks noticeably brighter and more toned—it has also helped with some of my acne-scarring. With this device, I’d say consistency and patience are key! But overall, it truly feels like an at-home mini facial experience!” — Cheska, social media specialist
Early Black Friday Deal: FREE mystery gift with orders $150+ while supplies last.
The Ultimate Lounge Shoe
Base Camp Mules, The North Face, $62, thenorthface.com
“I’ve been in search of slip-on shoes that will accompany me on short journeys, and these mules from The North Face have been doing the job! These bad boys are easy to slip on—when I’m inevitably rushing to my spin class—but stay secured to my feet to survive my frantic fast-paced walk! They’re also comfortable, lightweight, and not to mention, cute! I’m also a huge fan of The North Face’s circular design initiative. I can return these shoes once I’ve worn them to pieces and they will get upcycled. Kind of perfect with Earth Day just around the corner, doncha think?” — Jennifer, staff writer
