I discovered a lot of products in 2024 – some good, some bad, some forgettable. But among them, there were 13 absolute standouts that have made their way into my daily routine. Below is everything that I have found, loved (and gushed about) this year. |

| I bought this sweater after seeing my coworker wear it, and now I own it in three colors! I'm so impressed with the quality and fit. It's my perfect go-to for fall and winter, and even chilly spring days. I have paired it with jeans, chinos and skirts, and it works with them all. I will say, I wouldn't recommend drying it because the sleeves did shrink on me. But at 5'10", I'm used to short sleeves, so it's definitely not a deal breaker. $29.40 |

This sweater is another favorite and workwear staple from this year that I own in more than one color. It's very soft and lightweight but still keeps me warm. I usually pair it with a fake collar to dress it up. I also like that it's not too form fitting; I wear a medium and it still leaves some space. $39.90 |

| I'm obsessed with these jeans that I bought on Black Friday! I got the dark wash and they look super chic. But my favorite part by far is that they're long enough for my tall frame. I opted for the long inseam, and these go all the way down to my shoes. No more freezing ankles in the winter! At $22, I regret not buying them in more color options. $22.00 $34.99 |

Lands' End sent this new jacket to Shop TODAY to try out, and I fell in love with how lightweight it is while still being incredibly warm. I wore it in mid-December in New York City and had to take it off at one point because I was sweating. I also love how perfect it is for travel because it packs down easily. Though I'm not ready to retire my bulky winter coat, this has been a great addition to my wardrobe. $99.49 $199.95 |

| I have very dry skin. Winter, summer, doesn't matter – my skin is parched. And it doesn't matter how much water I drink. I have tried several moisturizing skin tints, and they all seem to flake in places where it is especially dry. After a lot of trial and error, this is my favorite option for light coverage (I'm not a big fan of heavy foundation) that provides hydration and doesn't highlight my dry patches. (The Tarte Maracuja is a close second but offers slightly less coverage in my experience.) $48.00 |

I have tried a lot of "thickening," "volumizing" and "density boosting" products to make my thin hair look fuller. This dry shampoo from Drybar is one of my favorites for giving me volume for day-old hair without making it starchy. I definitely notice a difference when I use it at my roots. $28.00 |

| This is definitely a splurge, but if there is one beauty product I would say is worth the spend, this might be it. It is so luxurious and rich, which makes it perfect for the cold weather. Plus, a little goes a long way, so it lasts a long time. I can tell that my under eyes feel more hydrated and my fine lines have softened after only using this for a month. $95.00 |

I just discovered this last month, and it's become my go-to condiment for almost everything. I put it on salads, in stir fries, use it as a dipping sauce for dumplings (as the name suggests), but also for shishito peppers and on top of plain rice to give it some oomph. It's a little sweet, which I like, and has a mild ginger touch. $9.99 |

| I'm a big desk snacker. I always need something within grabbing distance because I frequently forget to eat lunch. So between meetings, I need something to keep me going for a while. I usually always have granola bars, but these cashews have been a nice addition to my rotation. And since they're sprouted for easier digestion, I almost feel healthy eating them. The spicy kick is nice, too. $17.99 |

This has been a longtime Shop TODAY editor and reader favorite. But for whatever reason, I have been resistant to getting one. I felt because I had matches, why spend money on something to replace what I already have? Well, I was wrong! This is so much better. It has a long handle, so I can light candles that have burned down with ease. Plus, I don't have to burn my hand while trying to light multiple wicks on larger candles. And one charge seems to last forever. I love it. I just regret it took me so long to buy one! $9.96 $13.99 |

| This Nalgene doesn't leave my side. I needed a large water bottle but didn't like how bright (and loud) the "motivational" water bottles looked. So I got this, which is 48 ounces and is slim enough to fit easily in my backpack. I will say, however, it does not fit in my car's cup holders. That's one of the only drawbacks. $18.30 $19.99 |

I spend a lot of money on coffee. More than I care to admit (to myself or my boyfriend whom I live with). I've definitely had coffee machines before to try and curb the spend, but they never stuck. Enter: The Ninja Luxe Espresso Machine. This makes whatever your heart desires – from cappuccinos to drip coffee to cold brew with a cold foam option! I've tried all of the options at this point and have to say, they're all as good as what I get at the coffee shop. Plus, it has a built-in grinder! $499.95 |

| This is very specific, but has honestly changed my life. As someone who grew up with a cat and has had cats throughout my adult life, I never realized the impact having a robot litter box would have. It's saved me so much time scooping, but moreover, I'm allergic to litter dust and it has been amazing for my sinuses to not have to deal with litter on a regular basis. I give it a 10/10 and would (and have) recommend it to my fellow cat lovers. I know it's pricey, but if you calculate it over the course of your cat's life, it feels like a deal! $699.00 |
