The 25 Best Gifts for the Holidays, According to a Fashion and a Beauty Editor
Sponsor Content Created With Macy's
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 25 finds on their current wish list.
I'll admit that I miss being in the office with my co-workers. (There, I said it.) Not only was it a joy to work with truly interesting and inspiring women five days a week, but I also didn't mind getting to chat all things fashion and beauty all day long either. Some of my favorite clothing and beauty products to date were purchased solely based on recommendations from my fellow editors. I've especially relied on associate fashion editor Anneliese Dominguez and associate beauty editor Courtney Higgs to fill me in on the latest and greatest items on their radars. With the holidays just around the corner, I asked them for their respective expertise on the best fashion and beauty gifts they're considering wrapping up for their loved ones this year. They both shared so many amazing ideas from Macy's with me, from skincare sets to cozy coats, perfect for friends, family, and more. And you're just in luck because you're reading this in time to shop their picks, too.
"Lug-sole boots are so on-trend and a must for any fashion lover (aka basically everyone on my list)." — Anneliese
"Belif’s beloved gel moisturizer is the stuff of legends. Those with oily, acne-prone skin can’t get enough." — Courtney
"For the fitness lover who needs to step up their bike-shorts rotation." — Anneliese
"Blush-toned lipgloss is the best. This is a perfect stocking stuffer." — Courtney
"Anyone who says they don’t need at least a little sparkle in their wardrobe is lying." — Anneliese
"This dreamy Coach scent became an instant classic as soon as it launched last year. It’s perfect for those who love floral scents that aren’t too sweet." — Courtney
"My mom loves a good handbag, and this top-handle style is so on-trend. Plus, black is her favorite color to wear." — Anneliese
"The only thing better than one face mask? Four face masks! This set comes with a quick fix for any skin woe that may arise, from dryness to dull skin." — Courtney
"The color on this is so luxe. It looks like there should be an extra zero on the price tag." — Anneliese
"Dry skin season is here, so this quartet of luxe body butters will be a welcome gift for anyone on your list." — Courtney
"I love a slipper that you can also wear outside—ultimate comfy vibes." — Anneliese
"Lashes are the facial feature that have managed to remain relevant through mask-wearing and little-to-no IRL interaction. Throw on a coat of mascara, and you’re pretty much ready for any situation, from a grocery-store run to a Zoom call." — Courtney
"This is giving me major Gossip Girl vibes, and I’m here for it. (And my friends will be, too.)" — Anneliese
"Microcurrent devices are the splurge item beauty enthusiasts can’t get enough of right now. This would be the perfect gift for your girlfriend who loves to pamper her skin with the latest and greatest." — Courtney
"The gift that you can wear for years and years. And it's small enough to fit in a stocking!" — Anneliese
"Who doesn’t want baby-smooth skin from head to toe?" — Courtney
"This looks just as cozy as it does cute. And the snakeskin pattern? Yes, please." — Anneliese
"It’s all about the eyes this year, so it’s a great time to gift these pretty palettes. Plus, the set includes a mini version of my all-time favorite mascara, Better Than Sex." — Courtney
"For that person who loves a timeless piece that will go with everything." — Anneliese
"There’s truly nothing better than a good skincare gift set." — Courtney
"I love that you can dress this up with a pair of fun pants or down with a casual pair of jeans. Don’t forget to add some gold jewelry for good measure." — Anneliese
"You can cleanse, exfoliate, and massage your entire body with this handy device. The bath queen in your life will love it." — Courtney
"Joggers are the best, but fuzzy joggers? Game over. I’m definitely buying matching pairs for me and my roommates." — Anneliese
"GlamGlow’s Supermud mask is seriously magic. It’s the pore-clearing spa day addition we all need right now." — Courtney
"Another watch that screams elegant and chic, for the person on your list who loves anything classic." — Anneliese
