We can’t think of a better way to treat yourself than with an upgrade to your everyday wardrobe. And when that item acts as a soft and supportive hug, you’ll feel the love every time you put it on. If you’re like us (or Katie), you’re also obsessed with athletic dresses: This one from Spanx works on the court or when running errands — we’d even wear it to a casual dinner. And in case you’re wondering, it does have built-in shorts for comfort and coverage, but you don’t have to totally disrobe to use the bathroom, because the shorts are only connected in the front.

In order to best protect your feet, knees, hips, and lower body in general, you should replace your running or walking shoes every 300 to 500 miles. If an upgrade is in order, both Katie and our staff suggest Hokas. These bad boys will give you maximum comfort, which is our main concern, but it doesn’t hurt that they look this cute and provide extra inches of height.

Boost your relaxation levels during a night in, with CBD gummies. If you’re intimidated by all the hemp-y options that have flooded the market in recent years (some of which can seem a little sketchy), we found a brand you can feel trust: Cornbread Hemp products are Kentucky grown, manufactured in a GMP-certified facility, and tested by a third party to ensure you’re getting great quality. One reviewer wrote that “they bring my shoulders down and help me relax even when I don’t feel tense.” Relaxation we didn’t know we needed…where do we sign up?

Whether you’re venturing out on your first solo trip in ages, or traveling with the whole family, you need reliable luggage that eases your travel anxiety. Quince makes some of our favorite suitcases, in a wide range of sizes and hues. This one has a secure locking system and comes in vibrant easy-to-spot colors, like this lavender. 

Do you need yet another blouse? While we haven’t seen inside your closet, we’re going to go ahead and say yes, because you always need another blouse. You’d look worthy of a cameo in Barbie in this hot pink shirt, that’s classic enough to wear to work. Feeling more Malibu Barbie than corporate Barbie? Wear it as a swimsuit coverup once summer rolls around.

Sure, a designer handbag is a welcome gift, but wearing it will be much more satisfying when you put your own hard-earned money into it — literally and figuratively. (Plus, a handbag is so personal, it’s nearly impossible for someone to pick out the perfect one for you.) This classic work tote can operate as your everyday bag, but if you’re a new mom and feeling fancy, its multiple compartments mean it can double as an elevated diaper bag.

It sounds cliche, but sometimes all it takes to boost your confidence is a swath of red lipstick. Studies have shown that the color is universally appealing, and it’s been a sign of implied poise for decades. (Think of celebrities like Taylor Swift and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who often don the bright shade — don’t they just seem fierce with the bold lip?) Merit’s popular red is aptly named “Power,” but there are three extra hues in this beautiful set to suit whatever mood you’re in. 

There’s nothing quite like a tasty, fizzy beverage after a long day. And while you could stock up your fridge with cans galore, owning your own carbonator is a much more environmentally and budget-conscious choice that’s just as tasty. Breville’s InFizz Fusion has the power to carbonate juice, tea, cocktails, and wine. Oh and you won’t have to worry about wasting flat pop anymore, because this machine can do what you thought was impossible: Re-fizz flat soda. 

No one should ever stop learning, but finding the time to go to a class can be tough, especially with kids or grandkids on your schedule. Thankfully, you can expand your mind from the comfort of your own couch with MasterClass. When you sign up for a membership, you can log on to make shakshuka with James Beard Award–winning chef Yotam Ottolenghi, perfect your backhand with Serena Williams, or learn how to build deeper connections with Esther Perel. 

Birkenstocks have a reputation for being a little “crunchy,” but if you want an upgrade from the pair you wore in the 70s, you’ll be happy to hear the brand has some new designs that don’t sacrifice comfort. With a single strap and an oversized buckle, this slip-on is surprisingly chic and supportive for your soles.

As lovely as it is to receive jewelry, we’ve probably all been gifted something that’s not quite to our taste. Purchasing it yourself means you’ll actually be able to incorporate it into your style with ease. So if diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and we should also be our own best friend, it only makes sense to snag these beautiful hoop earrings immediately. 

Nobody needs a nap more than moms. Hill House makes the iconic Nap Dress, which is essentially a nightgown you can wear outside the house. They just introduced this Cosima style, which is a sleeveless, boatneck version of the OG dress that’s just as cozy and possibly even chicer, with a preppy and versatile silhouette.  

Finding hair solutions that work with your strand type is a journey that’s best left to you (or your hairdresser), but figuring out what works for your needs can be ultra-tricky. Act + Acre is all about getting your hair to its healthiest state, and this set had everything you need to get that started. Both the shampoo and conditioner are sulfate-, silicone-, paraben-, phthalate-, and petrolatum-free (say that 10 times fast), protecting your crowning glory from harmful chemicals. 

Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you need to carry a massive “mom bag.” The convenience of a small crossbody means you can roam hands-free with all your essentials safely kept in a compact purse. It doesn’t get much better than this Coach Tabby, which is a practical riff on the brand’s puffy top-handle style that’s popular with Gen Z.

A pair of new joggers isn’t only an excuse to lounge, but a reminder to start prioritizing comfort in your life. This sleek pair from lululemon went viral on TikTok, with reviewers claiming the pants frame the bum beautifully. They come in 11 colors and you can choose from a short or regular inseam. 

Buying retinol for someone else isn’t a great idea unless you really know them — the formulas can be strong and dry out the skin if misused. (Plus, handing a skin-improving cream to someone else can come across as an unwelcome message.) Since no one else will be getting buying this powerhouse product for you, splurging on it for yourself is a no-brainer. But if you’re going to make the investment, make an informed choice. Augustinus Bader is a high-tech skincare brand trusted by stars — including Katie — and our editors, and this formula is designed to address lines, blemishes, and pigmentation. While any item from the collection will make a welcome gift, every time you pump this gentle, luxurious serum into your palm, you’ll be reminded of your worth.

If you’re anything like us, you probably cherish any and all alone time. Wind down with this clitoris-stimulating vibrating wand, whenever you want. It’s made by women, for women, with a surprisingly lightweight feel, making it easy to maneuver with one hand. Vibration patterns range from a low rumble to intense suction, and you can use this solo or with a partner to find out exactly what gets you going. And if you prefer your ~personal~ time in the bath, Womanizer also collaborated with Hansgrohe to create a stimulating shower head that’ll make your steam more satisfying than ever. 

Kids these days love to “say the weird thing,” but we say you should wear the weird thing, especially if it’s soft and ignites your inner artist, like this plush robe covered in big red dots. Enter your kooky mom (or grandma) era in this artsy wrap.

Two words: bed socks. Whether you’re trying to stay warm during unexpectedly cold nights or just prefer your toes enclosed while you nap, owning a pair or two of bed-only socks can be a total gamechanger. They don’t restrict blood flow like the ones you wear inside a shoe would, they feel warm and fuzzy through the night, and since they’re dedicated for sleep, you won’t be tracking anything unwelcome into your bed. These are made from a cashmere blend, so they’re supple but durable — the synthetic materials keep them from losing their shape over time.

In this house, we wear slippers year-round — and our reasons for such are documented in multiple places across this website. This all-shearling pair will save your toes if you struggle with colder limbs…especially if you’re padding around without bed socks. Since it’s a full clog style, you’ll be able to slip them on and off with ease, and they have a thick, cushioned sole that’s sturdy enough to last you years (unlike those cheap pairs you buy in bulk).

We’ve all caught ourselves doing the discomfort dance after a couple of hours in the car. It starts when your lower back begins to ache, and then you wriggle around trying to find a position where the dull pain doesn’t distract you from the road. Living with a sore body is never ideal, so try a spine-aligning car cushion to make driving more enjoyable. Reviewers say they’ve survived 10-hour-long roadtrips without pain thanks to this product, while others claim they can’t live without it for even the shortest of commutes.

This isn’t your average candle, and it deserves a spot on your mantle, coffee table, nightstand, etc. Unlike scented candles that overwhelm a room, or just lightly mingle with dank odors, this one is made with ingredients that specifically target molecules responsible for nasty smells, leaving your room scented with the natural aromas of basil and tomato leaf.

Who said jumpsuits have to to be shapeless? This utility-style design from Alex Mill is a favorite of Katie’s, and it’s made of 100 percent cotton for a breathable, one-step summer outfit.

Journaling is a proven way to boost your mental health, but looking at a blank page and feeling stuck on what to write can increase anxiety. Make it easier on yourself with this self-guided workbook, which includes prompts that help you delve deeper into your psyche and shake off any internalized beliefs of unworthiness or shame.

You deserve a sweet treat, always. These drool-worthy cookies from one of New York’s top bakeries are so good, you’d typically need to wait in line for hours just to get a bite, so having them delivered straight to your door is so much more satisfying. The brand carries an assortment of flavors, but this chocolate chip and walnut combo is their bestseller.

We’re all about simplifying beauty routines, especially if it means you can get every one of your basics from the same place. This Jones Road kit includes some of the brand’s bestsellers, like mascara, blush, a brightening eye pencil, and a spot-concealing pencil — and you can pick and choose your favorite shades for each product. Your morning makeup routine has never been easier.

Sometimes, tuning everyone out of your auditory field is the ultimate gift. For those who need a little help focusing or have multiple kids under the age of five, a pair of Apple’s noise-cancelling AirPods is just what you need to help you zone in on your true-crime podcast or dance to your favorite Stevie Nicks song.

We’re nearing the end of Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan season, and this lightweight sweater is the perfect addition to your coastal grandma ensemble. It’s made of 100 percent cotton, with an elegant boatneck and breezy sleeves for a look that balances chic and casual.

Cashmere season is technically over, but a wrap is something you can wear all year. We’re especially fond of this affordable Quince option, which clocks in at under $100 but feels just as soft as its designer competitors. This is also a great travel accessory that you can wear while exploring a new town, or as a lightweight blanket on your next red-eye.
