Ask any editor and they’ll tell you that fielding requests for gift ideas is part of the job.This year, whilst on my humble search for the perfect presents, I accidentally ended up with more things than usual in my own cart: beauty tools and products (especially some affordable picks from designer brands), winter fashion (from trend pieces on a budget to investment outerwear), and chic home buys (to make a space just a little more lovely during these cozy months).
It’s that magical time of year when loads of things are on sale, so be prepared to discover that lots of these tempting buys are at even better prices once you click through to their sites. You have been warned.
Such a chic little guy that comes in a slew of colors (and in the most gift-able gift box).
