I’m Stocking Up on Gifts Ahead of Black Friday—Here’s What I’m Buying
From cozy cashmere socks to sturdy black boots.
Friends! It’s been a busy week over at Marie Claire. We launched our Age Issue starring Eva Longoria. Have you given it a read? There’s a good assortment of stories that explore the overarching topic—from why it doesn’t feel like millennials are rich (even though we kind of are!) to how to handle hair loss after 40 (lots of good product recs in this one!). A story that’s really driving a lot of conversation in the comments section on Marie Claire’s Instagram account is what happens to those high-achieving “30 Under 30”-types after they found success at a young age. It’s complicated as hell, that’s for sure.
We’re also talking Black Friday/Cyber Monday and holiday gifting (more on what I’m buying for my people in two seconds). The team has found the best deals for the J.Crew and Nordstrom girlies, plus some rich-looking fashion finds across a bunch of different brands. Check it out.
But first, let’s get into holiday gifting. This list is a mix of things I’d like to gift and receive! I may even get my life in order, shop early, and take advantage of some good Black Friday deals. Or at the very least, you could!
Cashmere Socks
Tiny luxuries make the perfect gift! Whoever is on the receiving end of these probably wouldn’t buy them for themselves, but they’ll definitely appreciate them.
Leather Gloves
I’ve had my eye on these gloves for a few weeks now. I love how they can easily elevate a look.
Candles
My sister and brother-in-law love candles. So to stop them from stealing mine when they visit, I’ll be picking up a few extras to gift them when the time comes.
Black Riding Boots
I, personally, don’t need another pair of black boots, but I do think these are pretty perfect so I had to share.
Theragun Mini
Not a day goes by that I don’t use this device. The size makes it easy to handle (and ideal to put in my bag when I’m traveling!). I think my parents would love this.
Ugg Classic Boots
We’re in the midst of an Uggaissance (Ugg renaissance!). With new ways to style them you can guarantee there will be a run on them before it gets really cold.
Hoop Earrings That Won’t Disappoint
Recommended by one of my most discerning friends, these ring in at under $15, making them the perfect stocking stuffer.
