Dive in and get shopping!
Inspired by the silhouette and functionality of a classic camera bag, this crossbody cutie will keep all your essentials organized and safe without weighing you down. It has two large zippered compartments to stow things like your wallet and sunglasses, and a smaller outside pocket to fit your phone or other slim items.
As the name implies, these leggings will feel like butter on your body. They're made to hug your curves in all the right places without making you feel squished. They have a flattering high rise and a side pocket for your phone. They also come in navy and gray.
332 Degrees Women’s Ultra-Light Down Alternative Packable Puffer Vest
Sometimes, all you need is a light base layer to keep you warm on blustery, cold days. This packable puffy vest isn't only easy to carry around, but it's made from a down alternative to keep you warm and water-repellant fabric to keep you dry, no matter what you're doing.
Make the most out of this world (and explore some others virtually) with this all-in-one virtual reality headset. It comes with a headset where you'll see HD images (like video games or live concerts) and have a surround-sound experience thanks to the built-in headphones. It also comes with controllers that are hyper-sensitive to your movements, making gameplay as realistic as possible.
Perhaps the best part? There's storage built into the set, so you don't need to hook up a phone or computer to enjoy it (although you most certainly can still use both those things!).
Maybe we're dramatic, but switching to a regular toothbrush when you're used to an electric one is the pits. Thankfully, Philips developed a sleek and functional travel toothbrush that has all the benefits of a regular electric toothbrush without the bulk. It's a favorite of ours, and we are obsessed with it ourselves.
As the days get shorter, the sun goes down earlier and earlier, making it difficult to get outside before all the light is gone. If you're someone who likes to run, walk, or even just has to take the dog out before bed, safety is top priority. This beanie has a built-in light to not only help you see where you’re going, but let others see you coming — especially motorists who are on the road with you.
Taking your pooch out to the park or on the hiking trail is so much fun — until you have your hands and pack full with water bottles, bowls, and other bits and bobs. This water bottle doesn’t only keep you both hydrated, but it comes with a sleeve that has pockets to hold treats and your phone. There’s even a collapsible dog bowl attached, so you won’t be left drinking after your dog, despite using the same water bottle.
Snuggle up with this warming wonder. Each of these cute stuffed animals has a removable pouch inside that’s scented with lavender or eucalyptus. Simply pop the pouch in the microwave for a minute, put it back in your stuffed animal, and you have a warm hug just for you.
We all have a tendency to throw our keys, change, and phone down onto the first surface we encounter in our home, but what if that surface could corral your items and charge your phone. Courant has created a chic leather catch-all dish that also acts as a wireless charger, making sure your phone is juiced up before you grab your keys and walk out the door.
Make a statement and stay safe in these colorful masks. Thanks to an origami-like structure, they won’t stick to your face while you’re wearing them. They’re washable, so you can continue to wear them again and again and not have to worry about buying new ones (or throwing them out after each wear!).
Sounds of the night keeping you awake? Not a fan of wearing headphones to bed? These Bose Sleepbuds will change your life. They’re extremely comfortable to wear and won’t fall out at night, even if you toss and turn. You can use them to block out noise, or you can add some calming sounds like falling rain, a babbling brook, or the wind blowing through the trees.
12Eastern Standard Provision Gourmet Liège Belgian Waffle Gift Box
Food is always a great gift, especially when it’s luxurious and fluffy Belgian waffles.

Keep your hot drinks hot and cold ones cold practically all day in this vacuum-sealed mug. It comes with a 360-degree drinkable lid, meaning you can sip from anywhere along the edge, but it remains spill-proof on long car rides or walks to the train station. It also has a slimmer profile, so it will easily fit into car cup holders, backpack sleeves, and jacket pockets.
There is no such thing as too many coats, no matter what time of year it is. This fluffy jacket isn't only cozy and warm, but it's a stylish take on the oversized teddy coat look. It's fully lined so your sleeves won't get stuck on the material inside, and the full length will help keep your legs warm, too.
A smart photo frame is a great idea for parents and grandparents, but honestly, most of us would be grateful to receive this as a gift!

Don't sacrifice your fingers to send a text — keep your hands nice and warm and send that message with these touch screen compatible gloves. They're made with a soft wool yarn that will keep your hands nice and toasty, and the brand weaves that with conductive threads to ensure you can still use your screen while you have the gloves on.
Take a relaxing bath and celebrate female change makers with this gift set of five bath balms. They come in a collectible box with a strong woman on the front (this set includes Frida Kahlo, Maya Angelou, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg), and inside the bath balm is a magnet you can use long after you're done soaking in the tub.
Celebrate change makers in history (like Rosa Parks and Maya Angelou, to name a couple) by wearing a comfy T-shirt and flaunting your killer style. This company also makes shirts that celebrate cultural institutions, like Negro League Baseball, which paved the way in the sports world.
Cooler temps and the holidays are right around the corner, but there’s no better feeling than wrapping yourself up in a snuggly blanket on chilly days. These cashmere-blend throws won’t only keep you warm, but they’ll look amazing draped over the back of your couch or favorite armchair. Instant cozy vibes.

Some people find crystals healing and energizing, while others just like them because they’re pretty. No matter what group you fall into, both can agree that this heart-shaped bowl is gorgeous. It’s made of pink onyx, which is supposed to offer strength and support, and it comes filled with rose quarts, to symbolize unconditional love.
Whoever decided lip gloss was juvenile has never seen the sophisticated shades Mented creates. This set of four glosses (aptly named “Gloss for Grown Ups”), has four beautiful nude glosses, varying from a light pink to a deep berry shade. You can layer any of these shades on top of lipstick, or swipe it on bare lips for just a bit of subtle color.
