“I had the chance to try these gorgeous drop earrings earlier this year, and now I can’t stop thinking about them. They’re a little more interesting than your classic drops because of the more sculptural design—and, to say it simply, they pack a punch. So, if someone really loves me this year and is reading this now, this is it for me!”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

“If I had a little brother or sister, this would be exactly what I would get them this year. So I’m getting one for my parents (hear me out), for us to enjoy as a family when I get home for the holidays. Nintendo’s Switch 2 is everything you know and love about the Switch, but it’s bigger, sleeker, and more powerful. Plus, with the option to disconnect the Joycons, we can indulge in multiplayer games that will bring us all some extra cheer this season.”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

“I’ve been on the hunt for a good red sweater, and Sézane’s Betty Cardigan is the kind of French-girl chic piece worth lusting after. It’s feminine, high-quality (I have some other sweaters from the brand, and they feel as luxe as they do cozy), and has the makings of a great fall and winter wardrobe staple for whenever I want to wear a little more color.”—Alyssa Bailey, deputy editor, news and strategy

“My husband is from the south of France, so he isn’t used to snowy winters. Luckily, Sorel and Barbour released a new collaboration, including a fresh take on Sorel’s bestselling Caribou boot. I’m excited to gift my partner a stylish pair to tackle any cold day with.”—Alyssa Bailey, deputy editor, news and strategy

“I like the cable detail on these gray wool-cashmere gloves. I have the same gloves in fuchsia, which I wore throughout the winter last year. They’re lightweight enough to fit easily in a coat pocket or tuck into my handbag.”—Terri Schlenger, copy chief

“I use this rechargeable lighted mirror every morning—it’s beautifully designed and takes up very little shelf space. The 10X magnification is perfect for applying makeup, and the mirror folds easily into a zippered travel case.”—Terri Schlenger, copy chief

“I’m personally obsessed with my La Bonne Brosse hair brushes, so I know my friends and family would be, too. The specific bristles of these brushes are perfect for smoothing and styling (especially in the winter), and the sleek lacquer-effect acetate makes the brush oh-so-aesthetically pleasing, especially in this deep shade of evergreen.”—Madison Rexroat, assistant accessories editor

“I love trinkets, objects, and conversation starters, both in the home and on the go, so a fabulous lighter case is the perfect gift for someone like me. Sophie Buhai, Juju Vera, and Edie Parker make portable lighters chic with silver and gold-tone cases that resemble lipstick more than a lighter. A gift this small is also perfect for gift exchanges at a party or restaurant where you don’t want to carry around something clunky afterwards.”—Madison Rexroat, assistant accessories editor

“I’m a sucker for a good pajama set, and these styles from Petite Plume (recommended by our associate commerce editor, Meg Donohue) are so cute but classic at the same time. My whole family’s going to be sick of me after I coordinate several photoshoots by the tree in our matching PJs.”—Erica Gonzales, deputy editor, digital content

“I’m in dire need of more long-sleeve tops now that it’s getting colder, and I’d love to build a collection of these viral, cozy layering pieces.”—Erica Gonzales, deputy editor, digital content

“My mom isn’t a big jewelry person, but she does wear a diamond band I gave her years ago. I’d love to add to her collection with Sophie Buhai’s perfume-bottle pendant. It ties into the pomander moment that’s going on right now, while also feeling timeless.”—Veronique Hyland, fashion features director

“My marathon-style jaunts around the neighborhood (slow walkers, beware!) would be well accessorized with these wrist weights in a pretty shade of pink.”—Veronique Hyland, fashion features director
