Each year, we round up our favorite things that give us all the feels. It can be anything from foodie favorites, to wellness trends, to buzzed-about beauty brands. In honor of our 12 days of Giftmas – which is in full swing, by the way – we’ve made a list (& checked it twice) of our top bevs, bites, beauty, and Botkier must-haves for the season.

We love a good spritz as much as we love a female-driven small business. Enter, Drink Ramona – an organic (and gluten free!) wine spritz packaged in an oh-so-Instagrammable can that goes wherever your drinking adventures may take you.

We never tire of Tate’s cookies and their holiday selection is SO GOOD. Packaged in festive red & green packaging, you can take your pick from a variety of seasonal flavors like toasted almond and our personal favorite…hot chocolate (!!). If you’re more of a health nut, Emmy’s organics is a must for the gluten free cookie lovers of the world.

Where to begin with this category. There are so many noteworthy beauty brands that are doing incredible things for our faces. From cult skincare classics like Colleen Rothschild, to the uber-popular Ilia beauty stick, and Patchology’s multitude of colorful face masks, our collection continues to grow. If you’re not sure which brand to purchase, try a monthly subscription to see what suits you and your skin best. Our pick is Boxy Charm for their wide (and amazing) selection of full-sized products.



Manicures are a must and Essie reigns qween in this category. The infamous nail polish comes in every color under the sun and even offers specialty holiday shades that provide just the right amount of sparkle and shine. The same can be said of Velvet Caviar’s collection of phone cases and accessories – we’re currently loving the wallet that easily sticks onto the back of your phone for a fun way to carry your cards.
