Holidays

Wine and cheese. Chocolate and peanut butter. Kim and Kanye. The holiday season and gifting. Some things just go together. And sometimes, one gift just isn&rsquo;t enough for someone extra special on your list. The answer? Gift pairings. We can help with those! Think of us as sommeliers of holiday gifts. Here are the things to give to someone when one item just isn&rsquo;t enough.

For Insomniacs

If you can give your loved one the gift of a better night&rsquo;s sleep, they&rsquo;ll love you forever (more than they already do!). Weighted blankets make the wearer feel like they&rsquo;re getting a big hug, giving them a sense of calm and helping them to relax and get a better night&rsquo;s sleep. A perfect pair for a weighted blanket is a noise machine. We love this sound mixer from Brookstone&reg;. They can combine eight nature and relaxation sounds to find the perfect blend of sound that will help them drift off to sleep.

For Those Who Love to Get Cozy

It&rsquo;s winter time, and we all need a little more cozy! The Brookstone n-a-p Heated Faux Fur Throw&reg; is the ultimate in comfort. It&rsquo;s super soft, and has four temperature control settings accommodate sleep preferences. Pair it with a Haven&trade; Towel Warmer to turn their bathroom into a spa, stocked with warm, toasty towels every day. Delightful.

For the Coffee Lover

For anyone who&rsquo;s into coffee, we recommend the Keurig&reg; K-Duo Plus&trade; Coffee Maker with Single Serve K-Cup&reg; Pod &amp; Carafe Brewer. It has the best of both worlds, and can make a single-serve cup of coffee or a whole carafe if they&rsquo;re hosting a crowd&hellip; or if it&rsquo;s just one of those Mondays. Give them some K-Cups in their favorite flavor to go with it!

10 Great Ways to Use Your Holiday Gift Cards

You&rsquo;ve shopped &lsquo;til you dropped. You&rsquo;ve wrapped, you&rsquo;ve unwrapped. You&rsquo;ve cooked, you&rsquo;ve cleaned, you&rsquo;ve caroled. You&rsquo;ve decked the halls and hung the balls and lit the yule log and ladled the egg nog. In short, you&rsquo;ve made this a happy holiday for everyone around you. And now...

It&rsquo;s gift card time.

You have a few items left on your wishlist, right? There&rsquo;s nothing quite like the present you choose for yourself (and pay for with a gift card from some other thoughtful soul), so go ahead&mdash;put those gift cards to use on something you really want and need. But on the off chance you&rsquo;re fresh out of ideas for how to spend your gift card, we&rsquo;ve got some suggestions we think you&rsquo;ll love. They&rsquo;re all special in their own way&mdash;either luxurious or supremely useful&mdash;and well worth a dent in your gift card balance.

For Keeping Cozy in Style

There&rsquo;s something so satisfying about feeling toasty warm when it&rsquo;s frosty outside. Give yourself the gift of wearable comfort that you&rsquo;ll enjoy from now until the tulips bloom (and maybe beyond!). With faux fur on one side and brushed flannel on the other, the UGG&reg; Serene Reversible Striped 12-pound Weighted Blanket adds a plush layer of warmth and a soothing, snug feeling. We also love the snuggly feel of the cable knit or faux rabbit fur/pom-pom combo for a quick sofa or bedding refresh.

Treat your feet to Minnetonka&reg; Cally Slippers and you may never want to wear regular shoes again. These real suede moccasin-style slip-ons have a cushy faux-fur lining and come in nine colors. (Can&rsquo;t choose? Go ahead, splurge on two pairs!)

Whether you’ve just slipped out of bed or a warm bath, the Kassatex Hotel Waffle-Weave Bathrobe will make you feel like you’re staying in a 5-star boutique hotel. Soft and warm, it has deep pockets for your hands and a belt to wrap you up tight. No judgements if you want to wear it all day!

For Spending Winter Cooking Healthy Foods

If you&rsquo;re planning to give your diet a makeover after the holiday indulgences are over&mdash;or just love to cook healthy foods and spend your weekends doing meal prep&mdash;these multi-functional appliances can help you get the job done.

After you&rsquo;ve cooked with the Instant Pot&reg; 10-in-1 Duo Evo 6 qt. Plus for a while, you might find yourself clearing a number of other small appliances off your counters. This do-it-all machine is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, and more. You can even bake a cake in it! If you&rsquo;ve been extra good this year, reward yourself with some convenient accessories, like an extra stainless steel pot, a tempered glass lid, a springform pan, a mesh steamer basket, or a sous vide immersion circulator.

Or, maybe it&rsquo;s time to upgrade your toaster. How about a toaster oven that not only makes quick work of your morning bagel, but also bakes, roasts, and air fries? The Ninja Foodi SP101 Digital Air Fry Oven with Convection does it all.

For Making the Most of Midwinter Vacations

Planning a getaway can help those long, cold afternoons pass more easily. Gift yourself these travel goodies to make your next trip even more of a treat.

It can be tricky to get comfortable on a long flight, and vacation rentals and hotels rarely feel much like home&mdash;unless you take along your own creature comforts. The Pendleton Goldendale 3-Piece Travel Set in Camel comes with a cuddle-worthy throw and a lightweight eye mask&mdash;plus a handy zippered pouch to keep them together.

It&rsquo;s much simpler to get ready for a day of sightseeing or a night out on a new town when your jewelry isn&rsquo;t all tangled up. Tuck it into a neat travel roll like the Hadaki Jewelry Roll. Fully lined in velveteen, it has several organizing pockets, a zippered compartment, and a secure tie to keep everything tightly contained in transit.

Don&rsquo;t let noisy hotel neighbors or street sounds keep you awake all night. The Brookstone Sleep Sound Mixer has eight nature and relaxation sounds and seven night-light colors to help soothe you to sleep. Use it at home, too.

For Post-Holiday Self-Care Sessions

We could all use a little extra help to recover from the go-go-go of seasonal festivities. Allow yourself some extra nap-time, take a walk in nature, or invest in personal-care tools that will make your everyday grooming faster and more fun. The Dyson Airwrap&trade; Complete Styler dries and styles hair at the same time by combining powerful airflow with controlled heat. This one tool can curl or wave without clamps or gloves, or give you the smooth, voluminous look of a stylist&rsquo;s blow-out. It uses negative ions to reduce static and sets your style with a shot of cool air.

Philips Norelco OneBlade Hybrid Electric Shaver can handle facial hair of any length&mdash;so no need to follow up with a razor on your neck after trimming your beard. And, it won&rsquo;t shave too close, so your skin will stay comfortable. Added perk: The replaceable blades last for up to four months.

The Best Drinkware to Ring in the New Year

It’s always fun to close out the year and ring in the new one with a party! If you’re hosting, you’re probably going to make a few specialty cocktails. This is a great opportunity to pick up some snazzy drinkware to match. We love these pieces for New Year’s Eve, but most of them are great for celebrations all year long as well.

Sparkle and Shine

New Year’s Eve is all about the sparkle. Confetti, streamers, glitter—you know the drill. Load up on flutes, shakers, and stems with silver, gold, and metallic finishing touches to make your celebration ultraglam. Laser and crystal-cut glasses are also a stylish choice. They not only enhance the look of your average, run-of-the-mill stemware, but also reflect light to stunning effect.

Fun and Festive

Get playful with witty drinkware that speaks to the occasion. Glasses embellished with short phrases and timely decals are all fair game, so long as the color scheme (think black, silver, and gold) and font remain tasteful. We adhere to the timeless trend of handing out date-themed champagne flutes for guests to raise at midnight.

Timeless and Versatile

You can’t go wrong with a classic stemware set. Squeaky-clean glasses with flared pedestals make for an elegant New Year’s toast and can also be reused for other upcoming holidays. To add a bit of panache to a versatile collection (and help guests keep track of their glasses!), wrap each stem in a personalized wine charm.

Casual, But Classy

It doesn’t have to be fancy to be a good time! We love unbreakable (but reusable!) drinkware for something light and fun. Whether you’re worried about tipsy guests dropping glasses or are going to have young kids around, these are great options. Bonus: when summer (finally) comes around, you can use these outside.
