Though this is the season to shop for others [1], I can't help but pick out a few things for myself as well. As a shopping editor, my job is to hunt down the hottest items on the internet that readers should know about. Naturally, it's hard not to discover products to add to my own mental shopping cart. With the holiday season [2] in full swing, I'm digging lots of fun and festive pieces from sites like Zara, Banana Republic, H&M, River Island, and lots more.
If you've ever been curious about what shopping editors add to their wish lists, now is the time to see for yourself. I curated a roundup of the coolest must haves out there, all on Amazon. Prepare to reach for your credit card — I already did. 'Tis the season!
