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
$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
$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.
Shop the rest of my holiday wishlist, below, including a slouchy Coach bag and Sol de Janeiro gift set.
Coach Brooklyn 28 Shoulder Bag
$295 at coach.com
Sol de Janeiro Jet Set
$32 at Amazon

This JBL PartyBox Club 120 Speaker Is Cheaper Than Last Prime Day, No Need to Wait for Upcoming Sales
We can all agree that Summer is here, right? Sure, it might not be the kind of Summer we're all excited about, but the season of long days, BBQs, and big old get-togethers is upon us. It's just nice to get outdoors and spend time with friends and family, and one key part of all of these things is music. That's where this JBL PartyBox Club 120 portable party speaker comes in, and it's currently $100 off on Amazon. This thing is an excellent way to boost the vibes at any party, no matter where you are or who you're with. Music is the way to set basically any mood, and this speaker is one of the easiest ways to do that indoors, outdoors, or if you're in a secret third space. See at Amazon Get That Music Pumping The most obvious thing to note here is the sound itself. The speaker packs in 5.25-inch woofers and 2.25-inch tweeters to allow it to output excellent sound with a decent range and a good mix of highs and lows. You'll be able to pump the bass as needed, but also enjoy more chilled-out music, if that's what you're after. It helps better the general atmosphere with a visual display too, and can manage a few different lighting effects, all of which can sync to the music it's playing, which helps really cement the immersion. It's portable too, which is great because it means you can carry it around using the foldaway handle, and then just plonk it down wherever you feel like. The battery life is pretty spectacular as well, as it can last up to 12 hours on a single charge, and if you're in a rush, a 10-minute fast charge can still get you an extra 80 minutes of playback. That's great for those who often forget to prepare for things ahead of time. It's splash proof too, with an IPX4 rating, which means that a little bit of rain, a little bit of tide, or a little bit of pool party won't ruin your fun. The cherry on top is that it has dual mic and guitar inputs, which means that if you or your friends are really talented, or in a state where you're feeling like you are, you can hook into this thing and sing or play along. The speaker can't make you sound better, but you'll probably have fun with it all, so who cares? Plus, with it being $100 off, and only $300 as a result, it's a great investment for your good times.

The Best Last-Minute Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day is this Sunday, June 15, which means that this is the week to either put the finishing touches on your 30th 'coupon book for free hugs,' or make this the year that you actually order a smokeless fire pit on time to help his s'mores fantasies come to life. Dads are surprising creatures. I can comfortably call my own a man of habit, which certainly works in my favor when I'm trying to buy him a present; he likes listening to the blues, chopping firewood, and hammering out chicken schnitzel, in that order. Every once in a while, however, he will put down the meat tenderizer and say something like, 'I sure would love to order bees for the yard' that reminds me that people can always surprise us (and those people can take Cornell's virtual beekeeping classes). If your food-loving dad or dad-like figure is anything like mine, he probably loves kits, gadgets, accessories, and tools that improve accuracy, comfort, and general flair. In layman's terms: Send him a pastrami sandwich kit from Langer's Deli, and a UV50+-proof hat to rock while barbecuing this summer. Every dad is different, but it feels fair to say that so many could benefit from a thick kneeling pad for tending to their garden, or owning a kaleidoscopic margarita machine — by none other than Jimmy Buffet's (pour one out) Margaritaville brand — to show off with their buds. Don't freak out if you have procrastinated on your Father's Day shopping until now (you probably learned procrastination from him, anyway). Instead, sip some Sleepytime Tea and check out this curation of dad-worthy, food-obsessed gifts that ship in time for the big day, or require zero shipping at all — these will get to Pops in time, if you move fast. If you hit the holy procrastinator-shopping trifecta of Amazon, Wayfair, or Goldbelly, there's still time to ship a Stanley flask, smokeless fire pit, or a flight of doughnuts that spells 'Best Dad Ever' to your pops. Amazon is hiding some surprisingly chic gifts from the likes of Field Company (think, lightweight cast-iron skillet sets); Wayfair offers 2-day shipping and is also having an outdoor sale with savings of up to 50 percent off; and Goldbelly has an entire Father's Day collection with chicken and waffles, Philly cheesesteaks, and desserts that can ship overnight. What's that? It's the eve of Papa's Day, and you haven't had time to whittle him that soup spoon? Luckily for all of us, there are so many cool digital gifts for food-loving dads that require little to no shipping whatsoever; MasterClass is offering 50 percent off memberships for Father's Day, and is brimming with all kinds of food- and drink-centric classes from Thomas Keller, Alice Waters, and so many other James Beard-nominated chefs; Uncommon Goods, aka the slingers of cast-iron garlic roasters and hot sauce tossed peanuts also offers video-based, interactive live classes or 'experiences,' all of which ship supplemental goodies, such as spices, to the recipient. Finally, when in doubt, there's beauty in getting your dad to God's country (Williams Sonoma and/or REI) with a digital gift card. All classes billed annually. All classes billed annually.
