One of my favorite traditions with my mom and grandmother is visiting Macy's on 34th Street to see its window installations each season. This iconic retailer will always remind me of the special moments I've had with my family, so naturally, I had to shop for a few gifts from Macy's this year. Below, you'll find my favorites from its fashion and beauty categories.
