    3. A marble print mousepad with a build-in wrist rest to add a touch of ~decor~ to the place where you spend soooooo many hours per week — and make pouring through those reports day after day a little comfier, too.

    24. A made-in-Italy diamond-cut decanter for drinking-at-an-ad-agency-in-the-'60s vibes but at a drinking-the-bottle-of-scotch-I-stole-from-my-parents price. Not that you did that, of course.

    26. Mount Lai's gua sha, which can help incorporate your favorite serums and moisturizers into your skin better with traditional Chinese facial massage techniques. Plus it's gorgeous and just *feels* amazing.

    27. A set of ~aerating~ wine glasses that'll help your three-buck Chuck breathe and open up as you swirl the glass, helping the individual flavors and ~nuances~ of the wine be more apparent — even to beginner wine palates. And they also happen to be really pretty!

    33. A bar of quadruple-milled, shea butter–infused French ~savon~ to soften, rather than dry out, your skin — feel free to send your boring soap down the drain.

    34. A Maybelline chrome highlighter with pigmentation and a price tag that are *both* stunning (in slightly different ways). Just look at that g l o w. The soft-powder formula is infused with reflective pigments you can apply sparingly or intensely for different looks.

    35. An "Is that designer??" veil-topped beanie, because staying cozy in the snow doesn't mean you have to give up on style...or drama.

    36. A pearl sunglasses chain you can add to any pair of sunnies for a grandma-chic look that also happens to be really convenient — no one likes taking out then putting away their glasses 85 times a day.

    37. Brightening and de-puffing gold-and-collagen eye masks that'll look *and* feel incredibly luxe as they work to brighten and hydrate your under eyes. That late night watching TV or reading that book you just can't put down? It never happened.
