bit.ly, bit.ly

Winter can be a magical time of year — the holidays are in full swing, everyone feels festive! But it can also be the coldest time of the year — like miserable, see your breath, you-will-freeze-to-death-if-you're-not-careful cold. Making now the time to buy everything you need to be cozy and comfortable, starting with a new winter jacket. Investing in a solid coat that you can layer and wear easily through any unbearable weather will make it a little more bearable.

Promising review for the women's Patagonia jacket: "Absolutely love this jacket! Wore it all through Ireland and during the start of winter in New England. Held up great with the rain and is EXTREMELY warm. The jacket does run a little small so if you are planning on wearing any bulky sweaters I recommend sizing up." —Clj67033

Get them from Nordstrom: the Patagonia jacket for $199 (available in women's sizes XS-L and in four colors ) and the North Face jacket for $149 (available in men's sizes S-XXL).

2. A firming glitter mask, because maybe you don't want to leave your house on New Year's Eve but that doesn't mean you don't want to be festive.

GlamGlow makes the best, more Insta-worthy masks out there and this one is no exception. Using ingredients like Teaoxi Complex (which is made using licorice and marshmallow leaf) their #Glittermask will not only make you sparkle (like, literally) it'll make your skin’s contours feel firmer and look more defined after one use. Just paint it on, let it dry, and in a few minutes peel it off to see your skin looking tighter, toned, and more lifted.

Get it from GlamGlow or Sephora for $69.

3. A gift card to your (or their) favorite retailer to spend after the holidays — when everything gets marked down.

amazon.com

December is a great month for gift cards. Not only do they make easy and practical gifts but they're actually the most preferred gift. It probably doesn't hurt that after the holidays, retailers slash prices on many of the things you would have purchased anyway. If you give a gift card instead they'll be able to get a little more bang for your buck!

Get this Amazon gift card starting with a $25 value.

4. A stunning hand-crafted ornament for bringing in the holidays and adding an heirloom to your family's yearly traditions.

Ornaments are a great way to celebrate the holidays and commemorate the year. They become an heirloom that holds the memories of years past, and this Waterford Crystal snowflake ornament is no exception. Mouthblown and handcrafted, this year's charming design was inspired by friendship and the love, companionship, and loyalty that should be celebrated through during the holiday season.

Promising Review: "This necklace is really pretty. The bar is indeed small but there is an elegance to it that makes it really attractive. I have large pendants and small pendants and I can find beauty in all of them. The chain is very sparkly and although the bar is small, it can definitely be noticed. It is feminine and classic. Very happy!!" —Renee261

7. A 65-piece homeowner's toolkit with everything you need to get those little projects taken care of around your house.

amazon.com

Tools are a great gift for the DIYers and Weekend Warriors on your list, and retailers know it. Considering the colder months make home improvement projects slow down, stores are looking for a way to sell through inventory. You'll find great deals on some of the best tools during the month of December, so if you're looking to check some people off your list, or just buy some essentials for yourself, now is the time to do it.

Promising Review: "I've purchased three of these, all for folks who have two left thumbs, just bought houses, and who I know do not own any tools and need the basics. Everyone should have a toolkit around because you never know when a nice, friendly neighbor will come over and offer to fix stuff for you — you just need the tools! I have had one for four years and I go into this toolbox at least twice a week, even if it is just for the tape measure." —Dr. Oceanfront

Get this 65-piece Stanley homeowner's tool kit from Amazon for $42.99 (originally $49.99). Or explore all the tool options Amazon has here.

8. A really awesome toy, because Santa's a busy guy and could maybe use the help.

amazon.com

There is probably about a 100% chance you're gonna be buying toys this holiday season. They're an easy, fun, and very much coveted item during the month of December. So if you're looking to go a little wild on a bunch of new toys and games be on the lookout for sales! Retailers tend to knock prices down and give special promotions to encourage you to pick their selection from the sea of options.

Promising Review: "This thing is awesome! The build quality is amazing, it's nice and heavy, sturdy, and detailed. I've tested it on hardwood floors and on (relatively thin) carpet at work, he zips along just fine on both. The sound effects are straight up movie accurate, and he's got a ton of different pre-canned actions/reactions, even the classic 'oh damn I just got blasted' fall over effect. The best part of all — the kid loves it and the dog is freaked out by it!" —Meltown

Get the R2-D2 app-enabled droid from Amazon for $125.17 (originally $179.99).

12. A 12-piece set of golf clubs complete with driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons/wedges, putter, and a super convenient stand bag.

amazon.com

Chances are most golfers don't hit the links as often when the cooler months roll in, but retailers are looking to clear out their inventories before the new year and the release of new lines. So they mark everything down, making December a great time to invest in a new set of clubs.

Promising Review: "Exactly what I wanted. It is not a full set, but honestly, I don't miss the other clubs. Quality is very good, the bag is well made with a myriad of pockets and thoughtful little design choices. Been playing for a few years now and can highly recommend for beginners and intermediate alike." —Buffer
