Now, in the midst of the holiday gifting rush, is not really the time for a brand to release something new and flashy. But! There are still a few releases we spotted worth paying attention to, including Kardashian pajamas, a Versace basketball, and Do the Right Thing merch.
Skims Pajamas
Versace Balls
A new launch, and a gift for the person who truly has everything. There’s a football and soccer ball too.
Whoopi Goldberg’s Holiday Sweaters
The fact that Whoopi Goldberg makes slightly deranged holiday sweaters never ceases to make us chuckle. This year she’s back with a new collection that’s exclusively available at Zappos. Hot nuts!
Nars Afterglow Eye-Shadow Palette
The teens, they love eye-shadow palettes. And this limited-edition Nars palette that launched on December 10, features “12 all new, versatile shades in matte, satin, shimmer, and metallic finishes.”
Ember’s Limited-Edition Gift Box
Ember, makers of the temperature-control coffee mug that’s one of the buzziest gifts for men this year, just came out with a box set that includes a mug with “24K Gold Halo Lid.” (The regular ol’ $100 Ember mug will arrive in time for Christmas, incidentally.)
Rue 21’s “Do the Right Thing” Collection
It’s been 30 years since Do the Right Thing came out, and to celebrate, Spike Lee’s production company 40 Acres and a Mule has teamed up with Rue 21 on a collection (that is already on sale a week after launching). The hat is particularly nice.
Harry Styles & Alessandro Michele T-Shirt
A limited-edition “drop” that comes with a digital download of Mr. Styles’s new album Fine Line. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Global Fund for Women. (Note: It’s available for pre-order at the moment and won’t ship till January.)
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
