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.

| 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. |
