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

THE WHEEL OF TIME Showrunner Reacts to Cancellation: 'These Fans Deserve to See the Story Finished' — GeekTyrant

Rafe Judkins, showrunner of The Wheel of Time , has broken his silence following Amazon's unexpected cancellation of the fantasy series just weeks after its Season 3 finale. The news left fans stunned, especially after the show's steady performance and deeply invested audience. Judkins himself is still processing it. In an emotional Instagram post, Judkins shared: 'I wish I could say something clear and tidy that explains to all those who love it why it's coming to an end. But the truth is, I don't really understand it myself.' Judkins went on to celebrate the cast and crew as 'talented and wonderful,' and pointed out something that makes the cancellation sting even more: 'Season 3 spent nearly 20 weeks in the Nielsen Top 10 streaming chart, a feat few shows have been able to match in the last decade.' So, the show was doing very well! Judkins didn't stop at mourning The Wheel of Time , he called out a larger issue plaguing modern TV: 'There is a larger trend in TV toward fewer seasons with less episodes… I genuinely believe that this goes against the fundamental strength of television – long-form storytelling.' It's hard to argue with him. Shows that once had the runway to evolve and deepen such as Lost , Breaking Bad , The X-Files , Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and more, are now expected to make a splash in eight episodes or less. For something as sprawling and layered as The Wheel of Time , that kind of compressed storytelling just doesn't cut it. Still, there's a glimmer of hope. Judkins hinted that the show might yet defy the odds: 'One of the reasons I chose Amazon in the first place was that it had recently picked up The Expanse after SYFY axed it… Who knows, perhaps The Wheel of Time show will do what the books have always managed to do since day one – defy the traditional definitions of 'beginnings' and 'ends.' I certainly hope it does – because this book series and these fans deserve to see the story finished.' For now, there are no official plans to shop the series elsewhere, but fans aren't letting it go quietly. A petition to save the show has already gathered nearly 130,000 signatures, proving that the wheel is still turning. The question is… will someone will step up to keep it spinning?

Save $200 on Amazon's 'best yet' Fire TV and matching soundbar

Getting a TV can actually be a stressor if you're not the type that likes to tinker with things. Since the vast majority of TVs today don't produce great sound, you'll have to go through the hassle of choosing a soundbar. But that's not all! You also have to connect your soundbar to your TV, which isn't always trivial. That's why we like this deal that saves you $200 on a QLED TV and gives you a matching soundbar that you know will work with it and be easy to assemble. Normally the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni and Fire TV Soundbar bundle would cost $600, but right now you can get it for an impressively affordable $400. Tap the button below to see the deal. Then, keep reading below to get our take on this bundle's components. Why you should buy the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV and soundbar bundle The primary ingredient of the bundle is naturally the TV, and it's a pretty great place to start, considering we named it one of the best Amazon Fire TV devices in its own right. When we did our Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED review, we said that it was the 'best Fire TV experience yet.' One reason for this was its hyper-convenient voice assistant feature, while another was its ability to be a smart home hub, quickly connecting to Ring devices and other Amazon-affiliated smart home wares. It has a fantastic screen too, with a solid 4K resolution and HDR 10. This is an approachable TV that anybody can love. And then there's the soundbar. Our Amazon Fire TV Soundbar review said two things about it that anybody interested in this bundle need to consider. Firstly, 'It doesn't get much simpler than the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar.' If you're intimidated or just can't be bothered to get into the weeds of proper wiring, sound balancing, and the other trappings of advanced home theater creations, this should be music to your ears. This is plug-and-play, that's it. Secondly, our reviewer said that the bar is 'surprisingly immersive' due to its deeper-than-expected bass and emphasis on frequencies with the human voice spectrum, making dialogue sound great. When combined together, this makes a killer kit at $600. This deal nets you $200 off, making the bundle just $400. It's a steal for anyone wanting a great experience with almost no hassle.
