Here at NBC Select, we kicked off 2025 by prioritizing self care and reflection: we launched our Dry (Skin) January coverage, asked experts about the best apps for productivity and looked back on our favorite products from 2024. We also looked into how to clean all your everyday essentials in the new year, including pillows, jewelry and makeup brushes. And just in case you forgot to mark your calendars for Valentine’s Day, our editors rounded up plenty of unique and sentimental gifts that’ll spark joy for everyone.
To give you an idea of what our NBC Select readers gravitated toward this month, I rounded up the bestselling products our editors covered in January.
