We all know that person who’s always cold — this gift idea promises to keep them cozy! It can be draped around the shoulders, almost like a wearable blanket, and it’s anti-static and brushed for added softness that resists pilling, per the brand. Plus, it’s a one-size-fits-all layer, so you don’t have to stress about sizing. You can grab it for over half off with code PREVIEW at checkout.

These totes have quickly become a year-round staple that marries style and function. They come in four sizes, but our pick for gifting this season is the mini, which is perfect for holding essentials when traveling light. Brach’s favorite part? You can get it monogrammed, so everyone in the family gets their own!

These dainty, custom bracelets from Kendra Scott boast gemstones in over 70 options, ranging from mother of pearl to turquoise and even letters to choose from. Brach says they can even be treated like elevated friendship bracelets, so no matter who you gift them to, you’ll think of each other every time you spot them on your wrists.

Adding a new photo ornament to the tree each year is such a sweet tradition for celebrating milestones, and this one from Minted makes the perfect thoughtful keepsake.

Per the brand, the “One Line a Day” journal series has sold more than four million copies! Brach reports that it makes journaling easy and manageable since it truly offers limited space for each day. “Write a quick summary of what you did, something on your mind or simply a highlight from your day to look back on. I think this is a brilliant, meaningful gift for all ages... and it’s cute enough to keep out on your nightstand!” she adds.

We know a thing or two about saving big with boxes, and Lancôme’s Holiday Beauty Box is an amazing value. “This is packed with editor-approved beauty finds… three full-sized makeup products, skin care from the Génifique and Absolue Longevity lines, plus a travel-friendly perfume,” Brach shares. “[I] have to call out the flutter extensions mascara, which won a Shop Today Beauty Award last year!”

This gadget combines all the nostalgic fun of OG camcorders but with modern convenience. “Old-school footage, no film to buy and no screen to watch, so you can stay in the moment,” Brach notes. “It’s so easy to use, with nostalgic film-like filters and design inspired by the iconic Super 8... But you can easily recharge and transfer your footage with the USB-C cord.”
