We're Picky Editors—29 Holiday Gifts We're Putting on Our Wish Lists

"I have the Coach 35 bag, and I'm so in love with it for my everyday life. I also get many compliments on it. I have my eye on the size 40 in navy or merlot for travel."

"This Diptyque scent is one of my new favorites. The cleansing hand and body gel seems so luxurious."

"I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. I'm pretty low-maintenance, but I still want my hair to look presentable. That's why I love this set. It comes with a wooden paddle brush that can help me detangle my long locks (and would look great on my vanity) and a styling cream that reduces frizz and strengthens hair while protecting it from heat damage. Sounds like a win in my book. Plus, the beautiful packaging is a nice bonus."

"As a fragrance lover, one of the best gifts I've gotten is this glittery body oil that pairs well with whatever my favorite scent is of the moment. It goes with any perfume in my collection that I choose to wear, and I get so many compliments on the glistening shine that it gives me."

"I've been getting so much better sleep lately thanks to this silk eye mask, so I've been raving about it to anyone. To people who never feel like they can sleep in, I'm gifting them with this."

"I saw this cardigan in person, and believe me when I say it's even better IRL. The alpaca wool is so soft, and the buttons look so rich."

"My favorite health and wellness influencer swears by this Theraface Wand, so naturally, it went on my wish list. I'm obsessed with de-puffing my face in the morning, so I know this will help me streamline my routine."

"I tried these on in Jenny Bird's NYC store and immediately fell in love with them. They not only make a chic statement, but they also are lightweight, so they're comfortable for all-day wear."

"If you know me, you know that I love caviar. So when I heard about the cocktail and caviar kit created in collaboration between Cointreau and Danielle Zaslavsky, known as the 'caviar queen,' I immediately added it to my holiday wish list. The kit includes all the ingredients for a cosmopolitan, four glasses, a mother-of-pearl dish with spoons, and a tin of caviar—what more could I need?"

"I first saw these book-shaped jewelry storage cases at Heaven Mayhem’s preview in NYC and was delighted to hear it was releasing them for sale. I love storage that still looks good sitting on a shelf, and these are a type-A fashion girl’s dream."

"I don’t think you can go wrong with cashmere, and J.Crew’s brushed cashmere is special enough to be the perfect gift. Plus, look at all those fun colorways!"

"Vacation, the skincare brand famous for its unabashed '80s aesthetic, is better known for its summer scents, but it just recently released this pine-scented candle. It features balsam pine accord, Siberian pine needle, and imported Norwegian spruce, and it's complemented with a touch of 'alpine forest terroir' and 'Swiss mountain chalet.' It's like if Wham's 'Last Christmas' music video was distilled into a candle (IYKYK)."

"I was recently introduced to France Luxe hair accessories, and I'm obsessed. Whether it's chic silk bows or sophisticated claw clips (like this one), I'm planning on gifting them to friends and family. I also wouldn't mind getting a few myself…"

"I, like so many other beauty editors, am a big fan of the iconic Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I apply one of three in my nightstand every night before I go to bed. This gift set of five mini sizes—Berry, Gummy Bear, Peached Iced Tea, Mango, and Watermelon Pop—is too good not to make my holiday wish list. The jars are adorable, and I love that you can test so many flavors before committing to the full-size versions."

"Perfumehead is pretty much *the* cool-girl fragrance brand. Whether it's Canadian Tuxedo or Cosmic Cowboy (the latter inspired by the Sunset Strip in the 1970s), each scent is unique, complex, and worthy of becoming your signature. The standard 50-milliliter bottles cost $4395, so this nine-piece sample collection feels like a steal for $80. It's the perfect way to explore such a sought-after perfume collection without breaking the bank."

"Cape silhouettes were a huge theme on the most recent runways and are set to be one of 2025's key trends. This COS topper is how I plan on tapping into the look—it's so chic and forward-feeling but without the designer markup."

Dorsey's James Bezel Necklace has lingered at the top of my wish list for a long time now, and I've been dropping subtle hints to everyone in my life about it. A tennis necklace is the ultimate investment piece that's timeless and eternally chic, and I love how the round bezel setting makes this one feel a touch more modern to wear daily and hold on to for years to come."

"This watch from Heaven Mayhem is elegant, classic, and timeless—the perfect addition to elevate my everyday looks. Santa, if you can hear me—please don't forget to put this one under the tree."

"L.A.-based jewelry brand Lili Claspe just launched a collaboration with supermodel Jasmine Tookes, and I'm obsessed with everything, particularly the Small Eloise Earrings. The design is beautiful, and they're perfect to wear day or night. They're at the top of my wish list."

"I've been eyeing the Freja New York bags on fashion girlies for some time now and would really love to get my hands on the iconic Caroline bag in the new luxurious Espresso colorway."

"I've been trying to find this Bottega Veneta bag on the vintage market for years, but I'm in luck now that it was reissued."

"The cutest stocking stuffer."

"I'm imagining morning coffee at home with these beautiful porcelain cappuccino cups and saucers."

"I've been using Parfums de Marly's Delina eau de parfum for a little over a year now and have never received so many compliments from complete strangers. One of my co-workers had this Valaya scent on her desk for a while, and I'd always test it out—I fell in love. Though I'd never give up Delina, I'm dying to get my hands on a bottle of my own of Valaya. It never hurts to switch things up, especially with two truly gorgeous scents."

"Mains de Vapeur is a truly incredible hat maker out of New York City. The designer, Mariela Alexandra, makes every hat by hand and has an eye for the elegant things in life. Though I want one for myself, I also would love to give these as gifts—they're so unique and special."

"I had a favorite signet ring, lost it, and may or may not have shed a tear when I realized it was missing. I think it’s finally time to replace the heirloom, and what better time than the holidays to gift yourself with something sparkly? I love the classic, sleek face of this east-west signet, and the yellow-gold finish reminds me of the pinky ring my grandfather (who was always dressed to the nines) wore every day."

"I clearly have jewelry on the brain this holiday season, as Merit’s gorgeous new fragrance was inspired by vintage gems. It even comes in a very chic velvet watch box! I usually don’t love powdery florals, but Retrospect has a base of vanilla and musk that give it a warm, seductive quality. Aila Morin, Merit’s CMO, dubs it a cross between 'clean laundry' and 'sexy gourmand,' and I totally agree with that call. Yes, I already have (and love!) the fragrance, but I now want an additional five bottles to gift to my loved ones for a shared scent experience. Call it the beauty-editor version of friendship bracelets." 

"I love doing my own gel nails, so when I saw that Olive June launched its own gel nail system, I had to try it. The verdict is that anyone who loves doing their own nails will be thrilled to receive this as a gift. It's super easy to use and comes with everything you need, and there are tons of polish shades to choose from."

"Avaline wines are chic and recognizable, which makes them super giftable. The brand just released its holiday collection, which features five new wines you can only get in the collection. As far as wine gifts go, this one is particularly thoughtful and special."
