25 Gifts I'd Give a 100% Approval Rating (Because I Own Them)
Gifts that someone can personally recommend because they own them are the best gifts. Here are the ones our senior fashion editor loves right now.

Rhetorical question: Wouldn't it be nice to go into the holiday season with a head start on your gift shopping? The answer is yes. Thanksgiving (and therefore Black Friday) is around the corner, and once that hits, it's going to be a frenzy. The best gifts will start getting picked over, and shipping delays are inevitable. So here's my first gift guide of the year, and it's a good one, because it's filled entirely with things I actually own (and love), and strongly believe would make excellent gifts. This is an instance in which the fact that I'm picky is a good thing.
Among my recommendations are the perfect faux-fur coat, the new luxury It candle, the carry-on luggage that's as functional as it is chic, along with a variety of other highly giftable items. So, hold the gift cards and scroll on to shop my inaugural 2026 gift guide, filled with tried-and-true gems.
