Treat Yourself to These 61 Editor-Approved Holiday Gifts
'Tis the season for giving. Whether you're choosing to shop small, celebrate with friends, and/or honor essential workers with charitable donations this year, don't forget to add one very important person to your list: you! While it's wonderful to be able to give and receive gifts, it's just as critical—and validating—to take the opportunity to recognize all that you've accomplished in the past year.
Whether that moment of self-congratulations takes the form of an indulgent dinner, a little token of appreciation, something to brighten your living space, or that one piece of jewelry or must-have fashion item you've been eyeing all year, we totally get it. This is why Who What Wear editors have compiled a gift list precisely for this purpose. With that in mind, we're sending you a virtual high five and invite you to browse these 61 editor-approved gifts. Happy holidays, and here's to an even better 2022 for all!
All of the products featured are available for purchase via the Shop app, powered by Shopify, and have been independently selected by Who What Wear editors for this article.
