Including Coach, Gap, and Sol de Janeiro.

My fiancé knows me very well—and for goodness sakes, he should! After all, I am getting married to the man. Still, I like to help him out during the holidays by providing a short list of gifts I’d be ecstatic to receive, and this year’s includes eight finds, from luxury bean bags to affordable Gap sweaters. 

If you’re just as curious as he is, check out the beauty, style, and home products that made the cut, below, starting at just $25.

8 Must-Have Holiday Gifts:

Coach Brooklyn 28 Shoulder Bag, $295; coach.com  Gola Elan Sneakers, $110; anthropologie.com Clinique Almost Lipstick, $25; amazon.com Gap CashSoft Turtleneck Sweater, $55 (Originally $70); gap.com LoveSac CitySac Insert and Cover, $420 ($600); lovesac.com Sol de Janeiro Jet Set, $32; amazon.com Jordan Road Aperitivo Earrings, $55; jordanroad.com

Jordan Road Aperitivo Earrings

$55 at Jordanroadjewelry.com

The Emily Ratajkowski-worn jewelry brand Jordan Road never lets me down, whether I’m sporting it’s Finn or Bari earrings. Up next on my list? Its Aperitivo style, which is totally fit for a royal thanks to its 14-karat gold-plated brass and woven square design.

Gola Elan Sneakers

$110 at Anthropologie

You’ve heard about the always-sold-out Adidas Sambas, but what about the Gola Elan Sneakers? The trendy kicks are quickly picking up steam, selling out across retailers like Nordstrom and Zappos—and units at Anthropologie are going fast. So, trust me when I say this is the next “It” shoe.  

Lola Blankets Large Throw

$299 at Lolablankets.com

I’m in my cozy girl era—but TBH, who isn’t this time of the year? The Lola Blankets Large Throw proved that not all spreads are created equally. I curl up in the luxurious blanket every single night, and after experiencing its soft goodness, I need an additional one for my living room.

Clinique Almost Lipstick

$25 at Amazon

I already have two Clinique Almost Lipsticks in black honey, but there’s always room for more. I wear the shade nearly everyday, relying on its easy-to-apply nature for quick touch-ups. It can even be layered for a more daring look and looks stunning on all skin tones.  

Gap CashSoft Turtleneck Sweater

$70 $55 at Gap.com

I’ve waxed poetic about the Gap CashSoft sweaters before, but I’ve yet to try this turtleneck variation. The bold cherry red makes a statement, while a slightly oversized fit makes it feel like you’re wrapped in a blanket. Better yet? It can be dressed up or down.  

LoveSac CitySac Insert and Cover

$600 $420 at Lovesac.com

Are you ever really too old for a bean bag? Absolutely not. After testing out a larger version last year, I was sold. Not only is the ultra-comfy CitySac the perfect size for smaller spaces (like a NYC apartment), but it includes cloud-like comfort that feels like a hug from your favorite person. So, sure, it may be a more luxurious ask, but it’s well worth it.
