Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

Carly and Danielle, here. While what would put us in the most festive spirit is to see Skimm’rs sharing Skimm+ with their friends, we can’t deny that the holidays are one of our most favorite times of the year. 

That being said, this season seems to get more and more hectic as time goes on and our gift lists continue to grow. That’s why we turn to our own @SkimmShoppping experts for their picks on all the holiday gift ideas we need. This year, we joined in and are sharing our own favorite gifts to give — from hacky products we love to stocking stuffers, festive pjs, accessories, and more.
