      Having grown up in a household that unpacks the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, I tend to take the holidays pretty seriously. Sparkly decorations, festive outfits, and a months-long excuse to throw parties\u2014what\u2019s not to love? But my favorite part of the holiday season has always been giving gifts. It may be a clich\u00e9, but there really is nothing like seeing the look on someone\u2019s face when they unwrap a gift they truly adore.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

      That\u2019s not to say that shopping for holiday gifts is always easy or stress-free. Hunting down the perfect presents to show the people in my life how much I care about them is a talent I\u2019ve honed through years of practice. Since my job essentially requires me to shop for a living, I\u2019m uniquely equipped to identify the best gifts on offer each year\u2014and as my<\/em> gift to Byrdie readers, I\u2019ve decided to share my findings.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

      Below, I rounded up the best gifts overall, plus beauty and fashion gifts I\u2019m planning to buy for my loved ones this holiday season. Keep scrolling for my editor-curated picks from Laneige, Ugg, Rare Beauty, Reformation, Hoka, and more.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

        My beauty and fashion gift ideas include picks for every taste and budget, from a splurge-worthy Shark heat styling system to a pack of non-creasing hair scrunchies with 44,000 five-star Amazon ratings. Additionally, you can\u2019t go wrong with the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, a nourishing lip balm loved by editors, TikTok users, and celebrities like Bella Hadid and Charli XCX. Or, opt for a gift that combines fashion and function like these ultra-trendy platform Ugg slippers. (I treated myself to a pair of Ugg slippers earlier this fall, and it\u2019s not an exaggeration to say I have been living in them all season.) I also found some on-sale fashion staples, such as a Levi\u2019s denim jacket, a cozy cable-knit sweater, and a value-pack of Calvin Klein underwear.\n<\/p>\n

          The number one beauty gift I\u2019m giving this year is the iconic N\u00e9cessaire body lotion, a rich, skin-firming formula that just launched in four new scents. I\u2019m obsessed with the calming Eucalyptus fragrance, which makes my tiny New York City bathroom feel like a spa. On the subject of fragrance, the Ellis Brooklyn Salt Eau de Parfum is my 20-year-old sister\u2019s favorite perfume, so I always try to restock it for her around the holidays. If you\u2019re looking to maximize more bang for your buck, there are tons of incredible beauty gift sets, like this $15 skincare kit from Grace & Stella, this Rare Beauty blush-slash-highlighter trio, and a $54 hair care duo from Briogeo valued at $81.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

            Whether you\u2019re looking for winter essentials, trendy accessories, or athleisure, this year\u2019s best fashion gifts start at just $12. For example, JW Pei is one of my go-tos for high-quality purses that are as affordable as they are chic, like this chocolate brown faux crocodile shoulder bag. I\u2019ve also included the surprisingly inexpensive aviator sunglasses that I wear nearly every day\u2014and always get compliments on. The light tinted lenses make them a perfect choice for the fall and winter when the sun isn\u2019t as bright. The holidays are a great opportunity to spoil your loved ones (or yourself) with timeless, high-end pieces such as this luxe cashmere cardigan, a glam fur coat, and comfy Hoka running shoes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
