Moonsisters x Tata Harper Beauty Calendar

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: When one of my favorite beauty brands, Tata Harper, reached out with the news of their holiday season collab with Moonsisters, I immediately clicked on the latter's link to learn more. As I quickly scrolled through the site (because why would I ever not rush) the words "live every day of 2025 to the fullest - shop [these] moon calendars" stopped me in my tracks, and I thought, "Who wouldn't want that?" This collab combines the brand's understanding of the lunar cycle with Harper's expertise in skincare to create monthly self-care rituals that might just result in an outer and inner, glow.

Lights Lacquer Nail Artist Mat and Bag Duo

Catherine Santino, Style Writer/Reporter: Looking for a niche gift for the beauty-obsessed person in your life? I present to you: Lights Lacquer's Nail Artist duo. The mat is made from acetone-safe silicone and serves as a work surface, preventing your desk or kitchen table from becoming a mess of dried polish and old nail glue (definitely not referencing myself here...). The bag, meanwhile, is the perfect way to store nail tools and great for on the go, too.

ESW Northern Lights Sheet Mask Set

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: If you know someone whose 2025 skincare resolution is to start sheet-masking more, then ESW Beauty — a brand inspired by good-for-you foods and drinks — will set them up for success. The brand curated holiday sheet masks sets with their best-selling products. This glow-focused quartet comes in a cute pink pouch!

Buy It! ESW Beauty Northern Lights Glowing Radiant Sheet Mask Set; $20; eswbeauty.com

Lanolips Lip Balm Trio

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: I'm a big fan of the brand's OG lip ointment, 101 — and I am not the only one: one tube is sold every 30 seconds worldwide. This adorable snowflake-covered, stocking stuffer-sized set combines mini versions of a trio of flavors (a refreshing mint, a sweet strawberry and a delicious "coconutter") to keep lips nourished during winter months.

Buy It! Lanolips Wonderland Mini Babies, $17; target.com

NEST New York Candle & Diffuser Set

Brittany Talarico, Style & Beauty Director: One thing about me is I've never met a holiday candle I don't want to immediately light. They instantly put me in a festive mood. That's why over the years NEST New York's beautifully scented range has been one of my go-to gifts to give (and get for myself!). The brand's bestselling fragrance, Holiday, is a quintessential Christmas smell featuring a scent blend of pomegranate, mandarin orange, pine, cloves, and cinnamon with a hint of vanilla and amber.

Fun fact: This year, NEST partnered with Balsam Hill, a premium retailer for artificial Christmas trees, to scent it's float at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade using it's beloved Holiday fragrance!

Naked Cashmere Crewneck Sweater

Catherine Santino, Style Writer/Reporter: Unlike George in that one episode of Seinfeld (aka The Red Dot), this cashmere sweater will absolutely *never* disappoint as a gift. The luxurious and extremely cozy piece is made with 100% pure cashmere in a modest cropped style that's so versatile. It comes in four classic colors, but this rich shade of Merlot is perfect for the holiday season.

Buy it! Naked Cashmere Sloan Cashmere Crewneck Sweater, $325; nakedcashmere.com

L'Occitane Classic Advent Calendar

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: There's nothing more exciting than treating yourself with a little something-something everyday. L'Occitane's classic advent calendar comes with 24 skin, hair and bodycare goodies in the brand's signature scents, like lavender and cherry blossom (and spoiler: there's four full-size products). It also comes in a gorgeous red box that makes for festive vanity décor in the lead-up to the big holiday.

Yves Durif Mini Comb and Brush Duo

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: Celebrity hairstylist Yves Durif is known the world over. While New York residents and visitors might be the only ones with access to his Manhattan salon, everyone can get their hands on his coveted tools. And his latest, this travel-size brush and comb made with ivory-hued rubber resin, is as luxe as they get.

Olive & June Gel Manicure System

Catherine Santino, Style Writer/Reporter: For those like me that have almost no patience for learning new skills, this is the ultimate gel manicure set. From a step-by-step guide that doubles as a work station to top-quality products, Olive and June's new system simply couldn't make it any easier to do your own gel nails. Who has time for salons, anyway?

Chaser Bow Tee

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: I've been living in my buttery-soft Chaser T-shirts ever since I got my hands on them. Wrap yourself in this trendy bow tee, which can either be your new favorite sleep shirt or the perfect top for your holiday party (pairing it with a cute sequin miniskirt and festive cardigan will make you the style MVP of any gathering).

Buy It! Chaser Red Bow Tee, $62; chaserbrand,com

Free Yourself Candle

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: My holiday season slogan is "serenity now." For me, that starts with sparking up a candle. IMO, this photo doesn't do this votive justice. To start, it's massive. I'm talking 60 ounces of hand-poured wax massive. But also, each ceramic vessel is one-of-a-kind (they're created by a potter in Vermont). While there are four scents, Terre, with its earthy amber, has the vibe I like for chilly nights.

Offline by Aerie Turtleneck Sweater

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: Let's face it: getting dressed in the winter is hard. But, having staple sweaters in your closet like this one makes it exciting to throw on a cute outfit in the morning, especially when the sweater in question feels like you're bundled up in a cozy blanket all day long.

The Story of Perfume Book

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: I once had a collection of 75 fragrances, but I have gifted most of them away. Now I have 25, but the number doesn't sum up my total love for scents and the stories behind them. So, this season, I hope someone gives me this hardcover book, a beautifully illustrated look at the history of perfume.

Lake & Skye Roll-On Fragrance Oil

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: Gifting fragrance can be a hit or miss, but Lake & Skye's roll-on fragrance oil is a shoo-in to be a fabulous stocking stuffer loved by all. It comes in the brand's hero scent 11 11, a unisex blend of white amber and musk. It's a refreshing smell that is perfect for welcoming a clean slate (with your fragrance stash) in the new year.

Buy It! Lake & Skye 11 11 Fragrance Oil Rollerball, $48; lakeandskye.com

Armitron Smartwatch

Brittany Talarico, Style & Beauty Director: Armitron is making smartwatch technology very accessible with its range of on-trend designs that offer key functionality for anyone looking to engage more with their physical activity.

The Eclipse watch includes calorie tracking, heart rate monitoring, step counting, sports modes, music control, GPS connectivity, sleep tracking, women’s health tracking, breathing exercises. It's perfect for that person on your list who always makes the same New Year's resolution to prioritize their health and fitness.

Buy It! Armitron Eclipse Smartwatch, $39;  armitron.com

Paume Handcare Set

Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: If I had a dollar for every time I've heard, "Take care of your hands, they show your age," I'd be typing this from my newly-purchased private island. Alas, I'm hunched over my desk recommending my favorite products to give and get during the holiday season. This is among them because even though I don't have the aforementioned tropical accomodations, thanks to this vitamin c-infused serum (my daytime fave), probiotic hand balm (which is by my bedside) and cuticle cream (for manicure day), my hands look like they've never spent a day in the sun, and that, for me, is a good thing.

Buy It! Paume Age Defying Trio, $94; mypaume.com

Sézane Socks

Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant: You honestly can't go wrong with gifting a pair of socks (I know it sounds cliché). This organic cotton pair from Sézane has a cute heart embroidery, which, in my opinion, takes an outfit from chic to trés chic. It's a great under-$50 option for your stockings.

Buy It! Sézane Heart Socks, $20; sezane.com

Minted Stationery

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: I love getting mail, and as it turns out, you've got to send it to receive it. I'm making a New Year's resolution to drop a card in the mail once a month to people on my mind — sharing a memory, sending strength or just saying hi — in hopes of spreading a little joy for the cost of a stamp.

Buy It! Minted "Bow" stationery, $39 for 25, minted.com

Phlur Deluxe Trio Set

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: This brand's scents were internet famous this year, and after trying "Missing Person" I see why. I'm going to pop these in my sister's and sister-in-law's stocking for a fun mix-and-match fragrance moment that I think they'll both love.

Buy It! Phlur deluxe trio set, $36; anthropologie.com

Parke Horseshoe Jeans

Brittany Talarico, Style & Beauty Director: 2024 was the year I caved and tried the horseshoe/barrel jeans trend. Parke was the brand that convinced me to invest in a pair. (It seems that every street style star on my FYP was wearing the denim brand!) I love the silhouette on these jeans, and they're currently at top of my rotation. I'm going to surprise my sister with a pair for the holidays, and also get this ecru wash for my myself (I love a winter white moment!).

Buy It! Parke Horeshoe Jean, $185; parkeofficial.com

Petite Plume Nightshirt

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: I've been purchasing Petite Plume's adorable matching jammies for kids for years, and it finally occurred to me: Why are my kids sleeping in super-soft luxury while I'm still wearing my sweats from my sorority 20 years ago? Time to upgrade to something cute (but still practical).

Buy It! Petite Plume nightshirt, $84; petiteplume.com

Alex Mill Coat

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: It's not cold enough to wear some of my favorite coats anymore, and I'm using the apocalyptic implications of that to treat myself to a gorgeous, timeless wool coat that's cozy enough for chilly days but still breathable for unexpectedly warm temps. It's also a great price for the quality.

Buy It! Alex Mill "Georgia" coat, $595; alexmill.com

Seavees Sneakers

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: I received a pair of these to test, and I have gotten compliments every time I've worn them. They're a tiny bit spendy for sneakers that you'll scuff in two seconds (just me?), but they're comfortable enough to walk for miles in, stylish enough to go with pretty much anything and not a brand you see every single day — definitely worth the splurge for a great gift, especially for someone who is looking for a great travel shoe.

Buy It! Seavees "Cardinal" sneaker, $140; seavees.com

David Yurman Earrings

Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: I saw Taylor Swift wearing these garnet heart earrings to a Chiefs game, so I wanted to wear these garnet earrings to a Chiefs game. I can't explain the hold these have on me, but I think they're a fun mix of cheeky but wearable thanks to the just-right size and classic construction.

Buy It! David Yurman "Chatelaine" earrings, $800; davidyurman.com

Banana Republic Boots

Andrea Lavinthal, Executive Director, Special Integrated Projects: My husband has told me that it's "actually impossible" to shop for me since I basically shop f. So ta ton of links to items I’ve had my eye on, including my color preference and my size.  He then picks out my present from that list. It minimizes the stress of shopping for me, but the actual gift is still something of a surprise. This year, these boots (black, size 8) will be number one on my list. 

Buy It! Banana Republic Italian Leather Knee High Boots, $380; bananarepublic.com

Blueland Handsoap

Brittany Talarico, Style & Beauty Director: In an effort to "green" up my cleaning routine at home, I recently switched over all of my dishwashing and laundry products to Blueland, a carbon and climate neutral company committed to eliminating the use of plastic through thoughtfully engineered products. (To date, they've eliminated over one billion plastic cleaning bottles from entering our landfills and oceans.)

Blueland's full year’s worth of Foaming Hand Soap is a wonderful gift set for the whole family (my kids love making this soap together!). Blueland eliminated the single-use plastic waste of traditional hand soaps by creating one bottle made to last forever, that you just fill with water and a dry-form, concentrated tablet that is 20x smaller and lighter than the traditional cleaning bottle, significantly reducing emissions. The set includes three scents, Iris Agave, Perrine Lemon, Lavender Eucalyptus

Buy It! Blueland 1 Year of Hand Soap, $50; blueland.com

Flaus Electric Flosser

Andrea Lavinthal, Executive Director, Special Integrated Projects: Dental floss ranks low (if at all) on most people’s holiday wishlists, but this electric flosser is about to change that. Like an electric toothbrush, all you have to do is press the button and let the vibrating electric floss head (which is recyclable ) do the work.

Super Smalls Hanukkah Lip Balm Necklace

Andrea Lavinthal, Executive Director, Special Integrated Projects: With eight festive-flavored lip balms like “Gelt Glam” and “Dreidel Delight,” this necklace will make you the hit of any Hanukkah party.

Louise Misha Reversible Coat

Brittany Talarico, Style & Beauty Director: Shoppe Balloo New York is a brick-and-mortar concept shop for baby and children’s apparel and other goods, based in the West Village. In 2022, the shop launched its e-commerce business to keep up with demand. It's beautifully curated collection of clothing includes pieces like this Louise Misha reversible coat which features a faux fur side and a waterproof side with a floral print. (I wish they made one in my size for a mommy-and-me moment with my 3.5 year old!)

Yeti Water Bottle

Andrea Lavinthal, Executive Director, Special Integrated Projects: Mom hack: Anything you buy for your kids between Thanksgiving and the holidays is a gift as long as you spin it as one. Case in point, my kids need new water bottles. I’m going to wrap these Yeti 18 oz. ones (in brand new colors Power Pink and Key Lime), put them under the tree then make the biggest deal ever on Christmas morning that Santa brought them NEW WATER BOTTLES!! Bonus points if Santa got them customized with their initials.

Buy It! Yeti 18 oz. Water Bottle, $30; yeti.com

Papinelle Pajamas

Brittany Talarico, Style & Beauty Director: Gwyneth Paltrow, Emma Roberts, Jessica Alba, Molly Sims, and Kendall Jenner are all fans of this pajama brand, and it's easy to see why. The sets are not only super-chic, but they're made from sustainable modal fabric which is buttery soft. The bestselling "Kate" style and more pajama and loungewear pieces are currently on sale for 30% off, so now's the perfect time to cross off someone on your list who loves to feel pampered.

Manuka Health Daily Essentials Kit

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: You already know all the luscious benefits of Manuka honey (and if you don't, oh boy, are you about to be so excited), and this gorgeous gift set, is the perfect starter for anyone on your list this year. It has a little bit of everything to bring some luxury to their skin. The set includes Mānuka Honey MGO400+, Pro Vitality Daily Restorative Face Serum, Eternal Renewal Nourishing Lip Balm and a Mini Eternal Renewal Regenerating Face Serum.

Tommy Hilfiger Cape

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: If your winter season isn't about being cozy, then I really don't know what you're doing (unless you live in a warm climate, which does not translate to winter to me), and that means a snuggly cape is the perfect piece to throw on over any outfit. This lightweight piece is great for that person on your list who doesn't always want to wear a big heavy coat and needs something for those in-between temperatures.

Buy It! Tommy Hilfiger Signature Plaid Cape, $35; usa.tommy.com

CurrentBody LED Mask

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: Show your loved one you really care about them (and their skin) with an LED face mask that can help reduce fine lines and bring back their glow. Just don't tell them that they need that when you give it to them (unless it's your bestie, because you know you can tell them anything).

Buy It! CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2, $469; us.currentbody.com

Lyssé Leggings

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: I don't know about you, but one of my favorite gifts to give is ... my favorite things. If I love something, my friends and family will (read: have to) love it too. These Lyssé leggings feel like butter on my skin, and the four-way stretch in the waistband is forgiving during all those holiday meals (and beyond). If you know you're on my Christmas list this year, look away, because I got you these.

Buy It! Lyssé Hi Waist Vegan Leather Legging, $108; lysse.com

Victoria's Secret Pajamas

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: I am of the belief that no holiday gifting is complete without pajamas, and Victoria's Secret does them well. You can't go wrong with this cute shorts set, and it comes in a bunch of colorways. You can outfit everyone in your family with the color that suits their personality (without breaking the bank).

Buy It! Victoria's Secret Modal Soft Short Pajama Set, $39; victoriassecret.com

Pandora Bracelet

Hedy Phillips, Style Editor: Pearls are such a classy gift for anyone on your list, but to spice it up for 2024, why not put a modern twist on this gift? Pandora's pearl bracelet is mixed with a large chainlink to give it some flair, and we think anyone would be thrilled to be the recipient of this one. If you keep it for yourself, we won't tell.
