With November here, we’re officially in the holiday season. So, have you started on your shopping list yet? 

If you’re struggling to find the on-trend little gifts that will make a big impact, you’re in the right place. From trendy Kendra Scott necklaces to beloved skincare, plush cashmere beanies and other little luxuries, these products are what your loved ones will really want.

For Tween Girls (and Moms)

Kendra Scott Necklace

Gift8

If there’s one thing at the top of every tween girl’s list (and their mom’s), it’s Kendra Scott jewelry. While the brand is known for its simple yet elegant pendant necklaces, the fifth- and sixth-grade athletes on my older daughter’s cheer squad are all enamored by the megaphone pendant from the Game Day collection, which also includes basketball, baseball and football charms. The Texas-based company also has a whimsical Holiday Collection that includes candy canes, trees and this adorable bow necklace. But for that classic Kendra Scott look that you can wear all year long, I recommend the Elisa Gold Pendant Necklace in Rose Quartz.

Price: $55

 

For The Outdoorsy Friend 

Everlane Cashmere Beanie

Gift1

Make outdoor adventures (and errands) look effortlessly stylish with Everlane’s Cashmere Ribbed Beanie. Soft, warm, and also great for bad hair days, the pullover hat will add a touch of quiet luxury to anyone’s winter ensemble.

For Ladies

Loft Tipped Pajama Set

Gift7

If you’re anything like me, your pajamas consist of a mishmash of old T-shirts and sweats. For something more elegant (and practical), consider Loft’s chic Tipped Pajama Set, which will look, and feel, good well beyond the holiday season.

For the Fashionista

Clare V. Wallet

Gift3

Founded by Clare Vivier, trendy Clare V. products are known for combining laid-back California style with Parisian polish. This includes the chic, yet functional, Petit Zip Wallet. Made from vegetable-tanned Italian leather, the preppy wallet, which can be monogrammed for an extra cost, has room for ID, cards and cash.

For the Skincare Lover

Drunk Elephant

Gift5

The beloved skincare brand with the quirky name is offering several goodie-packed skincare bundles for the holidays, which is the perfect way to test out pricey products before making the full commitment. If you really want to watch the eyes of the skincare lover in your life really light up, consider Drunk Elephant’s “Resort to This” day kit, which includes a complete morning skincare routine, including a full-size container of the brand’s popular Protini Cream.

For Coworkers 

Anthropologie Signature Candle

Gift6

Whether it’s your mother-in-law or a coworker, you can’t go wrong with gifting them one of Anthropologie’s elegant Signature Candles. For winter (not just Christmas), I like the Fresh Balsam & Cedarwood scent, which has an aroma of freshly cut evergreen adorned with citrus, white cranberry and sugared plums over an appealing background of frosted cedarwood.The candle, which comes in a variety of sizes, also comes in an attractive glass vessel that will look festive on your tabletop all season long. 

Price: Ranges from $18 to $188, depending on size.

 

For Boys

Under Armor Boxerjocks

Undies make a great stocking stuffer, especially these Under Armor boxerjocks for boys. The three-pack in black and gray features a comfortable snug fit and sweat-wicking material.  

Price: $26

 

For Guys

L.L. Bean Slippers for Men

Gift2

Nobody likes placing their bare feet on a cold floor in the winter. Nobody. To prevent that from happening, check out L.L Bean’s Men’s Wicked Good Slippers. The shearling-lined Venetian slippers are soft, warm and built to last — and customers agree. The slippers have more than 50,000 five-star reviews.
