With Halloween now in the rearview mirror and Thanksgiving quickly approaching, the holidays will be here sooner than we think—so let's kick-start our shopping. For us, the most difficult part of holiday shopping is knowing where to start because, let's face it, the options are endless. There are always new launches across all categories; there will always be new brands waiting to be uncovered, and, unfortunately, it's impossible to ever know the full extent of what's out there. With that said, we're here to make the shopping process at least a tiny bit easier.
We like to start by thinking about gifts that we wouldn't mind receiving. From classic bags that will never go out of style to statement earrings that will take an otherwise minimal look up a notch to beauty tools that will have us looking awake when we've hardly left to towels, oven mitts, and vases that will spruce up our homes, our wishlists are never-ending—and, luckily, a lot of the items we're hoping for are under $200.
