I Shop For a Living — Here's What's on My Holiday Shopping List

From plush socks to milk-tea latte blends, here are some of my favorite holiday gifting ideas.

I Shop For a Living — Here's What's on My Holiday Shopping List When you shop for a living (as I do), you develop a keen sense of what products are worth buying in any given season. There's the usual suspects: new beauty launches, viral TikTok products, and Amazon bestsellers. But with each new season comes a bevy of new product inspiration. I love the holiday shopping season, in particular, because it gives me the opportunity to put all of my product knowledge to good use — both in what I gift to others and what I buy as a treat for myself. I mostly gravitate toward gifts that are thoughtful, steeped in functionality, and designed to help me (or a loved one) usher in the upcoming new year with ease. From plush socks to milk-tea latte blends and portable watercolor kits, that'll help anyone embrace more creativity on the go, I've rounded up some of my favorite holiday gifting ideas below. — Kyley Warren, Assistant Shopping Editor Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Heathered Socks ($18) When it comes to shopping for coworkers, friends with discerning taste, or recipients who seem to have everything, a cozy pair of socks is a fail-safe gift that everyone will appreciate. This pair is one of my personal favorites because it's made from Barefoot Dreams's signature CozyChic material, which feels buttery soft against skin. Funto Pocket Watercolor Kit ($20) Ever since I read "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert, I've leaned into the idea that inspiration can strike at any moment — so I keep this watercolor kit handy should I encounter a bout of creativity while on the go. I love this compact kit because it has all the right colors and is smaller than a credit card, so it won't take up too much space in your purse or suitcase. Kola Goodies Sri Lankan Milk Tea ($35) Treat them to an elevated self-care essential with this spicy tea blend from Kola Goodies. It's easy to prep and infused with the most flavorful ingredients like raw coconut sugar and Ceylon black tea. I love that it pays homage to the flavors of Sri Lanka, with a distinct taste that makes me feel as if I've been transported across the world — even if I'm just nursing a cup of it in my own kitchen.  Shop Kyley's Gifting Picks What We're Shopping I Tried JNCO's Viral '90s Jeans — and They're as Heavy as They Look 19 Secret Santa Gifts You'll Actually Want to Keep It's That Time: Bath & Body Works's Holiday Collection Is Here Zooey Deschanel's Must Haves: From a Leather Backpack to a Smart Coffee Mug More Shopping Inspiration The Glistening Looks For "Gladiator II" Required Body Oil and Fake Tans → TikTok Loves Abercrombie Jeans — Shop Our Favorite Styles on Sale → Luxurious Gifts Moms Deserve This Holiday Season → Our Favorite Pillows, Mattresses, and More From Purple's Winter Sale → For more from PS Shopping, click here.
