Shop W+G editor-approved gifts
Dyson V12 Detect Slim — $429.00 (Usually $650)
“My toddler has a keen eye for spotting even the tiniest speck of dirt in our home, so this holiday season, I’m prioritizing gifts like this powerful vacuum for her safety and my peace of mind. This model meets all my requirements: strong suction, easy storage, lightweight, and long-lasting battery power, making it perfect for daily use,” – Aimee Simeon, Senior Beauty Editor
Mejuri Round Topaz Hoops — $78.00
“I’m getting married soon and have been searching for the perfect delicate earrings to gift my bridesmaids. I’ve always adored Mejuri’s jewelry for its sleek aesthetics, so when I stumbled upon these hoops, I knew they were ideal. The white topaz gemstones add just the right amount of sparkle. I even got a pair for myself to match,” – Allisyon Forsyth, Associate Health Editor
Sculpd Pottery Starter Kit — $65.00
“I enjoy engaging in hands-on crafting to keep myself away from my phone and distractions. A pottery kit like this one from Sculpd is a fantastic at-home activity that’s more affordable than taking a pottery class. It comes with air-dried clay that allows you to sculpt various items, such as a catch-all tray, mug, or even a vase. The joy of the end result, with its instant sentimental value as a self-made creation, is a significant part of the gift,” – Danielle Calma, Commerce Writer
Book of the Month — $60.00
“I appreciate receiving books as gifts, and if you have a bookworm in your life, a Book of the Month gift card is a wonderful choice. The subscription offers a selection of newly released books by popular authors across different genres. Subscribers receive one book per month, making it an ideal gift for avid readers or those looking to diversify their reading selections. The 3-month subscription starts at $60.00, with options for 6-month ($100) or 12-month ($200) subscriptions,” – Calma
Fine’ry Without A Trace Eau De Parfum — $37.00
“I adore warm, spicy scents and used to splurge on Phlur’s Missing Person Perfume for $99. However, since trying Fine’ry’s Without a Trace Perfume, I’ve realized it’s a comparable alternative for a fraction of the cost. I’ve received numerous compliments when wearing it, and I find that it lasts longer than other perfumes I’ve used previously,” – Danielle Zickl, Fitness Editor
Goop Beauty Gwenyth’s Less Is More Routine — $274.00
“Those who know me know that I’m a Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop enthusiast. I’ve tested all three of these products and absolutely adore them. Now, I simply need my loved ones to help me keep my stash replenished. This set is perfect for achieving a polished and refreshed look without heavy makeup,” – Danny Feekes, Head of Commerce
The Windmill Air Purifier — $339.00
“If, like me, you tend to wait until the holidays to request expensive gadgets that you should probably already own, consider adding this stylish air purifier to your wishlist. It boasts a beautiful design that’s perfect for being displayed openly. Additionally, it operates quietly; unlike my roommate’s noisy air purifier that resembles a jet engine whenever we accidentally set off the smoke alarm while cooking. This model is discreet and practical, making it a gift that anyone would be thrilled to receive,” – Francesca Krempa, Commerce Editor
Voluspa Pink Goes With Green Candle Set — $98.00
“My best friend and I have been obsessed with ‘Wicked’ since our college days and are eagerly anticipating the movie release. As a surprise gift for her, I’m considering this candle set from Voluspa. It strikes a balance between quirky and luxurious and both scents are delightful, capturing what I imagine Glinda and Elphaba’s signature scents would evoke,” – Krempa
Lieonvis Japanese Matcha Ceremony Set (Set of 7) — $30.00
“After switching from coffee to matcha, I’ve fallen in love with the ritual. It has transformed my mornings, and I’m eyeing a proper ceremonial set to elevate my routine even further. This set from Walmart would add a touch of elegance to my kitchen counter,” – Gabriela Garcia, Senior Commerce Editor
Oura Ring 4 — $349.00
“I’m looking to upgrade my wearable technology from my trusty Apple Watch to something more sophisticated. The Oura 4 Ring in gold is at the top of my wishlist for its sleek design, advanced technology, and ease of wear 24/7,” – Garcia
Cozy Earth Bamboo Pajama Set — $175.00
“I already own these PJs, but they’re so incredibly comfortable that I’m requesting another set. Made from stretchy and breathable bamboo fabric, these pajamas feature a piping detail that makes me feel put-together even when I wake up looking less than glamorous. Note: I tend to be between sizes, so I sized up for a roomier fit given the drawstring waistband,” – Jamey Powell, Commerce Writer
Anthropologie Fringe Crescent Sling Bag — $88.00
“As a mom who works from home, I typically rely on my Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bags for errands and school drop-offs during the week. However, since receiving this bag as a gift, it has become my go-to weekend tote. I appreciate that it offers the same practicality as the Belt Bag (crossbody for the win) but with an elevated appearance that’s perfect for brunches and farmers’ market outings,” – Kaitlin Ahern, Health Director
Boarderie Charcuterie Board — $129.00
“While gifting charcuterie may seem unconventional, I received this board when I first moved into my apartment, and it was such a thoughtful gesture. The board arrives beautifully presented and can be a valuable addition to any gathering. Whether you’re expressing gratitude for hosting or sending holiday wishes, it’s a generous (and delicious) way to convey your sentiments. Choose from special holiday-themed boards for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, or general options for in-between occasions,” – Katie Maguire, Senior Director of Commerce
Dyson Airwrap — $600.00
“Judge me if you must, but a few years ago, I traded in most of my Christmas gifts in exchange for the Dyson Airwrap. While I’m not particularly high-maintenance with my hair, I prioritize its health. The Airwrap effortlessly styles my hair without causing heat damage, leaving it looking fresh and well-kept for extended periods,” – (Continued)
