Crocs Dylan Platform Clog

These Crocs clogs are “easy to wear on the go” and “walk in,” according to shoppers. One customer added that they would buy them “over and over again.” The modern design is lightweight, flexible, and comfortable. 

Pura Vida Alphabet Satellite Chain Choker

This classic initial necklace is a subtle touch that adds just the right amount of personality to any outfit. The 15-inch chain comes with a three-inch extension so you can adjust it to your preference, while the gold-plated brass ensures it will last longer.

Ugg Classic Ultra Mini Boots

The ultra-mini Uggs offer the same comfort and style as the classic boot, but with an even easier design to slip on and off in a rush. The sole is flexible and lightweight, which makes them comfortable to walk and stand in for hours, and the plush sheepskin keeps your feet warm in freezing temperatures. 

Victoria’s Secret Modal Short Pajama Set

Now that the holiday season is officially upon us, there’s never been a better time to stock up on cozy pajamas. Snuggle up by the fire or under your favorite throw blanket in this buttery-soft short set from Victoria’s Secret, which comes in 17 colors and patterns. 

Purple Harmony Pillow at Mattress Firm

There’s no better gift you can give than the gift of better sleep, which the Purple Harmony Pillow will provide. It’s the only pillow with 360-degree Purple Grid Hex, which maintains its shape while you sleep and keeps you cool throughout the night thanks to the continuous airflow. Shoppers said the design offers a superior “cooling effect, support, and comfort.” 

Charles Tyrwhitt Knot Cufflinks

These under-$100 cuff links look so much more expensive than they are. They come in both gold and silver finishes and include a secure swivel back so you don’t have to worry about losing them. The knot design works well for special occasions, work, and everyday outfits. 

Fossil Raquel Three-Hand Date Watch 

This three-hand watch from Fossil, which comes in gold, rose gold, sterling silver, two-tone, and more material options, looks straight out of a designer jewelry case. However, the under-$200 style is luxe without the price tag of high-end jewelry. 

Apple AirPods 4 at Staples

Whether you’ve had AirPods on your wish list for a while or you just lost yet another pair (guilty as charged), the holidays are the perfect time to finally make the purchase. The design is made for all-day comfort and stability, so they won’t fall out of your ears mid-jam sesh, and the sound quality is said to provide a theater-like experience—whether you’re watching a movie or listening to music.

Clarks Westlynn Bella Loafers

A classic black loafer, like this pair from Clarks, is one of the most versatile shoes you can own. Not only does the design provide superior comfort and an outsole with impressive traction, but the style goes with everything—jeans, dresses, skirts. 

Minted Food Coasters by Elliot Stokes

If you’re looking for a fun tablescape accessory for holiday hosting, this food-inspired set of cocktail napkins is such a great choice. They’re full of personality, and just as practical—you can machine wash them on cold and tumble dry after your dinner party’s over.

Jared Diamond Bow Stud Earrings

These stunning yet simple diamond bow stud earrings from Jared feature real diamonds and are made from sterling silver. They’re timeless and elegant and make for the perfect accessory to any holiday season outfit.

Vera Bradley Embroidered Large Pouch at Personalization Mall

Vera Bradley’s large pouch is functional, whether you’re tossing it in your work tote or travel bag. The charming embroidered bear mosaic is perfect for the holidays, and you can add a name or monogram for a personalized touch.

Sur La Table Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven

If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to buy a Dutch oven, holiday hosting season is the perfect reason. Plus, this Sur La Table cast iron version is on sale right now. Shoppers love using it for deep frying, preparing soups, braising meats, and making homemade bread.

Oakcha Sweden Perfume

The scent is reminiscent of MFK’s Baccarat Rouge 540, which is much more expensive, and has nearly 6,000 perfect reviews. Shoppers called it a “10 out of 10” and “smells like heaven.” One customer added that they “smell [like] luxury” without overspending.

Spoonflower Leopard Parade Square Throw Pillow by Danika Herrick

Add a splash of color and pattern to your couch or bed with this vibrant leopard parade print square throw pillow. It comes in tons of different colors, plus two size options: 18-inch and 20-inch.

Vitamix Five-Speed Immersion Blender

An immersion blender, like this five-speed model from Vitamix, is the gift that keeps on giving. One customer said it’s “so powerful and won’t ever scratch any dish,” while another added that it “completely blend[s] everything in seconds.” 

Afloral Real Touch Norfolk Pine Wreath

This Afloral Norfolk Pine Wreath looks so real, your gift recipient won’t even realize it isn’t. It’s made from lush Christmas greens, but can just as easily be kept up year-round. It can be placed indoors or outside in a sheltered area.

Moo.com Large Insulated Water Bottles

If you’re planning an office gift for your co-workers or employees, Moo.com is an excellent destination for bulk and corporate orders. This set of 10 large insulated water bottles can be customized with your company logo or whatever design your heart desires.
