Editor Obsessions: Gifts We’re Hoping to Get This Year

We featured an Owala water bottle in Skimm Shopping a few months back, and Skimm’rs went wild for it. I have yet to try out the brand’s cult-favorite FreeSip bottle, so it’s at the top of my list. I love that it has both a sippable spout and a built-in, covered straw that won’t get grimey. It’ll keep drinks cold for up to a full day. —Margo Ghertner

In the fall, I want to focus on family time — and hosting more at home. One of the ways I do that is by sharing a Jamaican staple: tea. We believe it cures everything and, more importantly, brings people together. This tea pot set is my way of making sure guests get both the vibe and a delicious cup when they stop by.  —Sarai Thompson

I’m decorating my new apartment and want it to feel like a real-life Pinterest board. This speaker? Perfect for the top of my wine cabinet. It adds a modern-meets-vintage vibe to my new space. I’ve heard Marshall’s sound quality is solid. And honestly, a glass of wine and good music is all I need to make my apartment truly feel like home. —Sarai Thompson

Since I’m not getting an Alaïa Le Teckel bag any time soon, I would happily receive this similar style from Freja. The mini size is perfect for both day and night (unpopular opinion: I don’t believe in buying evening-only bags), and the folded opening is a chicer alternative to a zipper. I would ask for foolproof black, but something about this Pistachio color is speaking to me. —Caroline Goldstein

I am deeply obsessed with face masks from Dr.Jart+, specifically the Cryo Rubber Face Masks. I ask for them every Christmas and then space them out over the first few months of the year. No mask elevates my skin like this one does. I instantly experience a brighter, more hydrated complexion. It’ll dull out any redness and soothe breakouts. My favorite is the Moisture Mask, but I’ll also ask for the Soothing Mask and the Brightening Mask. If you’re looking to upgrade your skin, start here. Pro tip: Put it in the fridge for 20 minutes before you use it. The cooling effect is heavenly. —Alexandra Napoli

I’m an only child and still tease that I’m the “favorite.” When I saw this baseball cap on my feed, I knew I had to add this to my wishlist. It’s on the pricier side as far as caps go, but I tend to wear mine about nine months out of the year. I’m excited to pair this hat in any of the colors (though I’m partial to the green) with an oversized blazer, jeans, and sneakers for a put-together weekend look I can also wear to the office. —Alessandra Rey

I am currently on a quest to live a less digital centered life and part of that involves a watch that does not constantly notify me. Breda makes gorgeous modern but classic timepieces and I’ve fallen in love with this groove one specifically. It has a more masculine band but a dainty watch face which I think will go perfectly with a multitude of outfits. —Abby Drozd

I love the clothes at Buck Mason, but they’re admittedly not cheap. The quality is worth it, so  come the holidays, I always ask for one item from the brand to build my core collection. This year, I’m asking for the Seafarer Cotton Cropped Cardigan. It’s that cozy button-up you can throw over anything. It’s great for the fall and winter, but it can also take you through the spring and be that heavier layer you bring out to dinner with you in the summer. It’s made from a classic marled cotton, and it’s available in three colors. I go a size up for a roomy, oversized fit. —Alexandra Napoli

When I bought my first pair of Rothy’s, I had no idea how much I’d reach for them over the course of the last year. They’ve become my most-reached-for shoes because they’re the perfect stylish flat without being overly dressed-up. I’ve been eyeing the brand’s riff on the Birkenstock Boston clogs, which has a chic, minimal gold buckle. I’d pair them with some red socks for an extra pop. —Margo Ghertner

So it turns out you don’t have to live in New York City to experience Matchaful's delicious green tea powder. Because matcha is expensive, I’ll definitely be asking for luxury powders in bulk for my daily at-home lattes. This one has creamy notes of floral, honey, and cream. You’ll get 100 grams, which means it’ll last for months (and save you tons of money spent on lattes out). —Margo Ghertner

I’m a half-up-half-down girl. I have to have my hair pulled back when I’m working, eating, concentrating, etc., and I’ve been that way forever. For me, a claw clip is the best way to effortlessly achieve it, and Emi Jay makes the best ones. I’d been using their Big Effing Clip forever until I was recently introduced to this smaller version, and it’s a game changer. It’s big enough to keep my thick, wavy hair out of my face without hurting my head. The Pink Chantilly color is at the top of my wishlist. —Martha Upton
