2020 has been the year of working from home and I think we can all agree, even when you’re just seeing people on Zoom, you feel better when you are put together. And that makes this year’s biggest beauty must have the Dyson Airwrap. While this is certainly at a luxury price point, it is certainly an everyday treat yourself gift. So easy to use, you can achieve salon worthy curls, waves and more in just a few minutes with the Dyson Airwrap. I picked one of these up recently and have been blowing out my hair multiple times per week and it really puts me in a good mood all day!

If you’re going to invest in a premium hair tool like the Dyson Airwrap, you have to also invest in some quality hair products. And the brand I keep going back to year after year is Bumble & bumble. Known for their professional hair care products, their gift sets are a great way to try out their signature products or gift a whole new hair care routine to your friends. I know I’ll be gifting the Sleek Chic set to all my friends this season and so should you

Another thing that we can all agree on this year is that cozy is a vibe right now and Everlane has some amazing high quality sweaters that you’ll have on repeat all winter long. Everlane’s collection of cashmere sweaters are just perfect for Zoom calls, chilly winter walks or holiday dinners. They are all sustainably sourced and there is a variety of modern fits. Top off an Everlane sweater with a nice cozy jacket. My current winter jacket obsessions are this cute and functional insulated trench from Helly Hansen and this amazing long wool jacket from Karen Millen. And if you are in Boston we highly recommend shopping in the Seaport which has gorgeous Everlane, Helly Hansen and many other great stores!
