It’s crunch time for holiday shopping, but I managed to find some thoughtful gifts that should arrive by Sunday over at Amazon. (Though some things that will arrive in my city on time may not in yours, so be sure to double-check.) But if you’ve already checked everyone off your list, it’s time to plan your New Year’s Eve outfit, and Reformation has some lovely (and deeply discounted) dresses on sale.
Our favorite affordable eye cream is now under $25. (Think of it as a gift to yourself for making it through to your holiday break.)
Our best-overall water flosser should still arrive on time for Christmas, in case you’re still looking for a gift for the hard-to-shop-for dad.
I also spotted several last-minute gifts in the toy section, like this nearly three-foot-long stuffed sea turtle. (Everyone loves a giant gift.)
I’m obsessed with this utterly adorable Blue’s Clues picnic play set, which is over 60 percent off.
Parents trying to entertain out-of-school kids will appreciate this massive set, which includes 12 cans of Play-Doh, a shape-making machine, and over 40 stampers and cutters to create miniature bunnies, mermaids, ice-cream scoops, and more.
If you’re not in the market to spring for a Vitamix but want something comparably powerful, this basic Ninja blender has 1,000 watts of power.
Here’s an adorable hooded onesie — with ears! — for newborns.
Unthinkably, we found some Uggs for just $100 at Nordstrom.
Today is the winter solstice, so it’s officially time to add some hygge to your home. Start with this fringed throw, which comes in five colors.
This spacious weekender from Herschel Supply Co. is 40 percent off in an intriguing slate blue-gray.
And finally, Reformation’s end-of-year sale has some excellent dress options for New Year’s Eve. The discounts are huge, like this slinky velvet number that’s just $65 …
… and this fluttery option that will be nice to wear next spring, too.
Nabbing this nearly $800 silk dress for $237 is one of the biggest steals we’ve seen this year.
