What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A mulberry silk eye mask that'll make you feel like royalty the next time you tuck in for a snooze. It won't squeeze your eyeballs and won't get tangled in your mane, either (no matter how much you toss and turn).
2. A faux fur coat that's fluffy as heck and will help you hide from the winter weather. The exaggerated style is great for layering over all your chunky sweaters, and it even has a plush fully-lined hood you can snuggle in when things get a bit chilly.
3. A lavender-infused pedicure sponge that'll buff away dead skin and dirt from your tootsies. It's infused with anti-fungal tea tree oil that'll help keep athlete's foot at bay, too.
4. A reusable tumbler so you can fuel your hot cocoa addiction wherever you are. It's made of sturdy ceramic (which means no metallic aftertaste) and is wrapped in a silicone sleeve that'll protect your fingers from getting scorched — and it works on frosty drinks, too.
5. A pack of de-puffing eye masks that reviewers say deserve all the gold stars. Thanks to hyaluronic acid, they're also a major moisture bomb, helping to keep undereyes from drying out during the chillier temps.
6. A five-piece lotion set because dry winter skin is no joke, y'all. Each one's packed with shea butter, grapeseed extract, sunflower, and avocado, which means they'll properly nourish your chapped skin (rather than just sitting on top).
7. A multipurpose cooking pan because it's probably time you stopped using that old set from college. It's designed to replace eight (!!!) different pieces of cookware and has a non-stick coating for easy clean-up.
8. An acne-fighting silk pillowcase that kills 99.7% of the bacteria that can cause breakouts, so you can go to sleep and wake up to clearer skin — literally. Plus, the silk will prevent frizz and broken hair.
9. A spacious leather satchel that'll fit all your odds and ends (yes, even your laptop). Thanks to the adjustable shoulder strap, you'll still be able slip it over the sleeves of your bulkier winter layers.
10. A keratin treatment that'll keep your nails and cuticles from turning into bleeding, peeling messes. It uses jojoba oil and keratin proteins to help your talons grow long and strong, while supporting and hydrating your nail beds.
11. A teensy succulent that'll thrive in low light — perfect for all the darker corners of your home. It comes in a cheery little pot, plus care instructions so you'll never have to guess if it needs more water (or less? NO ONE KNOWS).
12. A fleecy oversized sweatshirt that's super soft and long enough to pair with your fave leggings. Let's be honest, cold temps don't stand a chance against that cozy high collar — and the roomy fit is great for layering, too!
13. An ultra-slim laptop sleeve that'll protect your tech from bumps and scratches. Even the zipper's water-repellant so snow and rain won't sneak in and fry all the circuits.
14. A chic ceramic French press that'll brew up a silky-smooth (and grit-free) cup of java. It’ll keep your coffee hot for longer than a glass or steel press and has a double-layered mesh filter that even the finest grind won’t escape.
15. A slim humidifying wand that'll turn any glass or bottle of water into a lean, mean, diffusing machine. It's whisper-quiet and equipped with handy timers so you'll be able to set it and forget it.
16. A pair of convertible huggie earrings by Jenny Bird because it's time we expected more from our bling. The oversized clips are completely detachable so you can transform your look in a literal snap.
17. An ultra-plush duvet set that'll make you feel like you're snoozing on a cloud. Reviewers say it's given them the best sleep of their life (and they love that it doesn't get matted after washing, either).
18. A jar of Lindt hazelnut chocolate spread if your breakfast could use a lil' upgrade. Unlike similar products, it doesn't contain any palm oil, which is great if you're trying to be eco-friendly.
19. A bottle of ultra-concentrated beard oil so you can treat your facial hair to some TLC. It's got tons of antioxidants that'll help condition the skin underneath, while stopping pesky in-grown hairs and flakiness.
20. An airy cashmere scarf that's as soft as a lamb's ear (and wickedly cozy to boot). And at nearly two metres long, you can easily wrap it around your neck a few times when the frosty breezes really start up.
21. An elegant wireless charger that'll juice up your device and look pretty dang good doing it. It's sleek, minimalistic, and has a nifty silicone treading to keep your phone from sliding off mid-powerup.
22. A detoxifying bath soak that'll help you find your chill this holiday season. It's got — you guessed it! — activated charcoal to help pull out toxins, plus mood-boosting basil and lavender oils to help chase away the winter blues.
23. A pack of glow-in-the-dark adhesive stars that'll transport you to a galaxy far, far away. The best part? They're invisible during the day, which means they won't clash with your decor.
24. A pair of modern wine glasses so you can enjoy your fave varietal in style. They can withstand a trip through the dishwasher, too, which means you won't need to scrub each one by hand.
25. A 2-in-1 thermal straightening brush that'll smooth down your mane while keeping it tangle-free. It's even got cool-touch bristles so you won't singe yourself the next time you're doing your 'do.
26. An adult colouring book so you can release some pent-up tension while having a giggle at these "triggered" animals. Reviewers love the humour and say colours show up beautifully on the shaded illustrations.
27. A pack of hydrating sheet masks because let's be honest, your skin's been through a lot lately. Slap one of these on to revive a tired complexion — they'll even help strengthen your skin's protective barrier, too.
28. A delightfully crinkly linen pillow sham that'll keep your noggin cool and comfy during bed time. It comes pre-softened so you won't even need to break it in before you hit the hay.
29. A set of flannel bed sheets that'll feel as soft as your fave shirt. They won't make you sweat (courtesy of thermoregulating cotton) and are double-napped, which translates to longer wear and softer fibres.
31. A pair of reusable hand warmers that'll keep your fingertips from freezing off during the cold winter. They're made of double-layered up-cycled cotton and stuffed with rice grains that'll retain heat for longer.
32. A pack of charcoal-infused blotting linens that'll sop up excess oil and help keep your bangs from turning into a greasy mess. They're silky-soft and smell ~divine~ so it'll feel like a lil' treat every time you use them.
33. A set of stainless steel whiskey stones that'll cool down your drink without diluting your fave spirits. They'll stay colder a lot longer than boring, regular ice, too, so you won't have to rush through your cocktail.
34. A pack of bestselling wool blend socks that'll keep your toes from freezing off (without making them uncomfortably sweaty in the process). Reviewers say they never feel itchy or pinch at the ankles, either!
35. A bottle of Cosrx skin serum that'll cool down your skin, keep breakouts at bay, and shrink the appearance of pores. It's no wonder reviewers say it's basically magic (and that it works way better than other acne-fighting products).
36. A set of liquid chalk markers so you can finally label all your pantry goods. The colours dry quickly and won't smudge, meaning you could use them to label jars of homemade goodies, write to-do lists on your bathroom mirror, or even doodle holiday decor on windows.
37. And lastly, a self-cleaning water bottle if you fancy yourself a bit of a bacteria assassin. It's got a powerful UV light built into the cap that'll kill nearly all the bacteria living inside at the push of a button (it'll also activate every two hours so germs don't get a chance to build up).
