9 Gifts for Surviving the Holiday Season
Whether you get them for a loved one or yourself, we can promise the recipient will appreciate these.
The hustle and bustle of the holiday season are fast approaching, and if you’ve signed up to host or arrange a present swap, you may be wondering when (if ever) you’ll have some time to yourself. Prepping for parties and dinners is hard work, after all — for which you should be graciously rewarded. Taking a moment to relax and focus on yourself is just as important as getting the turkey out on time.
So this year (correction: every year), grab a secret stash of presents that remind you and your fellow hosts to take care of yourselves. And instead of fighting long lines and traffic along the way, let Shipt take the pain out of your holiday shopping. Thanks to its curated marketplace of retailers and its award-winning customer service, it’s the reliable shopping accomplice for all your quests, from groceries to electronics to beauty. Snag a membership to get access to time-saving, personalized shopping — plus perks, exclusive deals and a whole lot more. With same-day delivery, you can have your favorite groceries and personal items delivered straight to your front door without leaving the oven unattended for a moment.
Check out the picks below for a self-indulgent 2024 holiday, all available via Shipt.
Spare yourself the drive-thru line and whip up a coffeehouse-quality cup at home. Unlike most commercial ground coffee, Happy Medium is free from the nine major allergens. The company also partners with a mental health organization too add a little more happy into their customers’ lives.
If you can’t swing a beach vacation, this is a close second. A faux glow is a great way to kick the winter blues, and also a heck of a lot better than risking skin damage. Cult favorite St. Tropez will give you that sun-kissed look within one to three hours, with no hints of orange (streaks are so 2005, after all).
Tired skin and under-eye bags are no match for this face mask, which promises to rejuvenate skin, give it a glow and leave it more hydrated with each use.
Holidays mean planes, trains and automobiles for lots of us. If you’ve been traveling a lot lately, you likely already know that a deep massager is the best at-home way to relieve those knots and kinks. Small but mighty, Sharper Image’s gadget will get regular use way beyond the holidays.
Not only is this blanket from Target buttery-soft, it comes in just under $70. Made with glass microbeads for dense, even pressure, it can be used year-round. The removable cover is machine-washable, too!
Amethyst face rollers aren’t just hype: They can reduce puffiness and even the appearance of wrinkles. Try putting this one in the freezer for an extra-refreshing experience. Worth noting: It also just happens to look ultra-chic on your nightstand.
After hours of entertaining, swap your stiff party dress for a cozy cardigan and sweats. Made with super-soft material and featuring a tailored fit, this can be worn with or without company over.
This tool is the real deal when it comes to pampering yourself. Its long list of benefits includes improved circulation, opened-up pores (goodbye, dirt) and glowing skin.
