EDITOR'S NOTE
I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to suddenly change all of your habits at the start of a new year. Which is why I’m dedicating today’s product line-up to items that’ll make your day slightly more manageable – from a warm beanie for bitter winter commutes to fresh 2025 calendars to help you stay organized.

Beats Solo Buds
If you hate spending money on technology, look no further.
Margo here. There’s weirdly something painful about spending lots of money on tech accessories. When yet another pair of AirPods died on me, I knew I didn’t want to splash out hundreds of dollars on headphones. After doing some digging, I found these wireless earbuds from Beats. They’re under $100 and the noise-cancelling sound quality is fantastic. Because the case itself doesn’t serve as a battery pack (you have to plug them in via USB-C to charge), I have confidence that these will last even longer than my AirPods did. Plus, their purple color means they’ll never get lost in my bag.

Last week, we asked our followers over at @skimmshopping if they had any add-to-cart woes. Here’s what they wanted to know:
Some tried-and-trues that we’ll always go back to: Aritzia’s Super Puff, which comes in countless lengths and colors, and the Internet-viral Amazon coat.
Our editors swear by a fleece-lined legging for simply existing during the winter. Many on our team say Quince’s Thermal Leggings and Old Navy’s are a must (especially for the price), others love Lululemon’s for an investment pair that’ll last for years. Also, these handwarmers.
