Promising review: "I can’t believe there aren’t more reviews for this magic creme! I tried this in-store yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. First the tube is huge for $20, you can’t beat that! This will last you a long time because a little goes a long way. It’s creamy and not greasy but gives the right amount of moisture. The scent is perfect! It’s not doing too much but giving enough. It’s just like the name giving you woodiness of the vetiver and creaminess of the santal. This is going to be a new staple in my hand creme collection. I love it. ❤️" —Doedra2560

Get it from Nordstrom for $20 (available in four scents).

Promising reviews: "Well, it’s safe to say I am hooked! The black and tan Acorn Trainer is my second pair, and there will be a third in the future for sure. I can wear socks or no socks, and the shoe fits the same. Cushy and comfortable, I highly recommend. The colors are wonderful, and I have received many compliments." —Kelly B

"I ordered my first pair of Acorns for my trip to Prague, as this trip was going to be filled with days of walking and exploring all over Prague and beyond. It did not disappoint as I happily traipsed around the country in my Acorns! My feet were completely comfortable walking for hours each day. Great purchase! I definitely want another color!" —Janet G.

Be sure to take a gander at all the Aura Frames to find the best fit for your gift list, your budget, *and* your wall. Because you obviously need one for yourself, too!

Promising reviews: "Received as a gift from my daughter. This has been a great way to stay connected with my grandkids when they are far away. Customer service is also excellent — helped quickly with an issue with the cord. Really great all around!" —Wendy R. 

"I can't even explain how much I am loving my Aura Frame. I bought it for myself before the holidays and asked my two college-age granddaughters and my daughter to add pictures. I added pictures from 'the old days' of long-gone relatives, etc. I loved looking at the slideshow, as the frame randomly paired up pictures of them as babies and now as college students. One evening, when they stopped by, we got engaged in reflecting on all the pictures as they came up. It was great! They now know that at least once a week, I expect to see pictures from them as they are away at school. I have told all my friends how much I am enjoying this frame. Thank you." —Paula R.

Get it from Calpak for $120 (originally $150). 

Promising review: "DedCool is my favorite fragrance line — clean, vegan, fresh, never overpowering, and always compliment-inducing.  Xtra Milk was my #1, Mochi Milk my #2… but Mineral Milk just claimed that spot. Gorgeous, mysterious, effortlessly classy. The notes melt into each other so seamlessly — it reminds me of Skylar Nude Skin, but elevated. This isn’t a scent you explain. You embody it.  For those who are quietly confident, timeless, and intentional. Best worn at night — dates, soft walks, intimate moments. 100/10." —VVLegend

Get it from Sephora for $30+ (available in two sizes). 

Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $50 (available in four patterns). 

Promising reviews: "I had an issue with a suitcase I received as a gift about four years ago. I contacted Beis through the website, and they processed my warranty request within a day! I received a replacement suitcase in a week. Probably one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had, on par with Costco. I really like the carry-on by Béis, but if you have any hesitation about the quality, give it a try. They will take care of you." —Jagmeet K.

"I have two Béis pieces and purchased a third as a gift for Christmas. This luggage is timeless, extremely functional, and high quality! I have had extremely high-end, as well as off-the-shelf luggage, and Béis is the only luggage I will ever purchase again. Quality, selection, and more. Need I say more!" —Desiree N.

Get it from Béis for $268+ (available in eight colors and four other sizes). 

Promising reviews: "Waking up and having the griddle in the morning is easy and ready for use with no hassle. Simple to clean and looks good on the stove!" —Jim in Alaska

Promising review: "I bought this duvet cover for the plaid and the seersucker design. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the cover. Several buttons to close the cover and nicely seamed edges. You can reverse it to another plaid color scheme." —2busy4me

Get it from Everlane for $425 (available in three colors).

Get it from Brightland for $96 (originally $120).

This perfume set allows you to try the scents on your body and see how they react with your chemistry before committing to the full bottle! I am so impressed when brands do this! I already ordered a full bottle of one of the scents!! Way to go to this brand!" —Jill
