A TikTok-viral skincare booster wand…

As you’re meticulously applying your skincare routine at night, wouldn’t it be nice to have a tool to help your lotions and potions absorb even deeper? Enter: this booster wand beloved by TikTokers and Hailey Bieber alike. It has multiple modes and doesn’t require a conductive gel.

$220, Amazon
joggers
Honeylove

A pair of joggers for weekend wear...

A good pair of joggers can go a long way: weekend errands, long walks, travel days, and more. The mesh panels allow for airflow, which can be especially helpful if you're a hot sleeper. What we really appreciate...the pockets. Add a pair to cart to get you through the holidays, because we both know this upcoming season is the busiest time of year, and while you're running around, you'll want to be comfortable. PS: The Tencel Blissknit fabric is soft and cool, so ideal if you wear these to a workout class, too.

$75, Honeylove
laser hair removal
LaserAway

A laser hair removal package for smooth skin...

Our commerce director did her bikini line and underarms at LaserAway in New York City, and raved about it. If you're tired of shaving or waxing, we can't recommend LaserAway enough. You'll work with a nurse practitioner to undergo sessions, each only lasting about 15-30 minutes, depending on how many sections you decide to get done. The result is smooth, hairless skin with no razor burn or red bumps. The entire process is relatively pain-free, but if you're interested in learning more, read an in-depth review here.

Prices vary, LaserAway
blush
Rhode

A cream blush that’s worth the hype…

Speaking of Mrs. Bieber, treat yourself to one of the best cream blushes we’ve ever used. It glides on the skin smoothly and blends so effortlessly, thanks to its skincare-like feel. With 11 colors to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find the perfect flush for you, but we’re partial to Piggy, a baby pink shade.

$25, Rhode
handbag
Bloomingdale's

A shoulder bag you’ll never get tired of...

Look up “classic” in the dictionary, and you’ll find this bag. One editor bought this for herself last fall and can confirm it’s just the right size for every day, and the leather looks even better in person. This chocolate color is timeless, as is the Polo Ralph Lauren logo, which isn’t too flashy.

$498, Bloomingdale's
sneakers
Brooks

The running shoes several of our editors swear by…

We gave these a Good for You Award for their cushioning that makes it feel like running on a cloud. If you’re looking to invest in yourself, less knee and joint pain after your daily walks seems like a good place to start. 

$200, Brooks
cashmere sweater
Naadam

A cashmere V-neck sweater…

We’re calling it now, V-necks are about to be back in a big way. This sweater will never go out of style, with its neckline that’s low enough to wear a tee underneath (but not so low that you have to). It’s made of the softest cashmere with ribbed details that set it apart. 

$218, Naadam
uggs
Anthropologie

A fresh pair of Ugg slippers…

Investing in your own coziness is never a bad idea. With these plush slippers, your toe never has to hit the cold bathroom floor. They’re warm but won’t overheat your feet, and the added platform makes them cute for running errands or grabbing a coffee.

$145, Anthropologie
charm bracelet
Etsy

A charm bracelet that’s sentimental to you…

Choose from up to 16 charms to make this bracelet a reminder of what’s special to you. You can get colored enamel charms or gold-plated ones, all of which are lightweight and tarnish-resistant. Customize one for your sister or best friend, too.

$20+, natcatcharms via Etsy
fortune cookie box
Nordstrom

A decorative box that’s a conversation starter…

Something about having this gold fortune cookie box sitting on your dresser or foyer table is so chic. It actually swings open, and one reviewer says it’s a great place to leave notes for the rest of the family. Genius.

$37, Nordstrom
necklace
Nordstrom

A personalized necklace that makes a statement…

This necklace looks like a candy heart and displays your initials (or a loved one’s) proudly. It’s a nice addition to a jeans-and-a-tee outfit and comes in five color options. Life’s short, wear the fun jewelry.

$128, Nordstrom
slippers
Uncommon Goods

A pair of handmade slippers with otters on them…

Every time you slip these on, you’ll smile at the adorable hand-felted otters on your feet. They’re made of soft wool that isn’t scratchy and have a nonslip bottom. They also have dog and cat options.

$68, Uncommon Goods
necklace
Mejuri

An initial necklace that’s not like other girls…

The initial pendant on this necklace comes in a molten lava-esque font that we can’t get enough of. It also has an inlaid gemstone and hangs slightly at a diagonal. It’s so unique you’ll never want to take it off. 

$168, Mejuri
penny loafers
Jamie Haller

A pair of penny loafers that’ll last forever…

We bought a pair of Jamie Haller sandals this year, and they quickly became our most worn summer shoe. If the quality of these loafers is anything like the sandals, then you’ll be wearing these daily. They’re made of buttery Italian leather with an anti-slip rubber bottom, and they’re menswear-inspired, so they’ll look great with jeans, trousers, or a skirt. 

$595, Jamie Haller
pajama top
Negative Underwear

A super soft pajama top you can wear everywhere…

Invest in nice pajamas. This ribbed top feels cool to the touch while keeping you warm, so it’s the perfect lounge-around shirt. It’s also a little sexy, especially when paired with any of the matching pieces. When you’re ready to venture out, just add jeans.

$128, Negative Underwear
hairbrush
Bur Bur

A hairbrush that really makes a difference…

While this is definitely a splurge, one editor recently became obsessed with this brush after using it for just a month. She says, “It has two types of bristles — boar bristles to add shine and stimulate the scalp, and nylon bristles to detangle — and a beechwood handle that’s so pretty.” Read her full review here.

$72, Bur Bur
boots
Frye

A trendy pair of Frye boots…

The Frye Campus Boots made their comeback last fall, and they’re still going strong this year. The beauty of this style is their versatility. Like an equestrian boot with a block heel, these look good with dresses, skirts, and over jeans. Since they’re made with the brand’s cult-statusy leather, they’ll only look better with age.
