No longer your mother’s fanny collect

“I never thought I would buy or use one of these fashion fixtures from the ’80s, but I’m a big fan. They’re super convenient and hold everything. Who would have thought we’d see the day fanny packs came back in style?! The perfect gift for anyone in your life who needs their hands free to scrunch their leg warmers.”

—Beth Battaglino, CEO

Amusing lingerie

“Underpants! I love giving — and receiving — the gift of whimsical underwear from Cheek Boss. You can never have enough pairs of super comfortable underpants with wacky designs like hotdogs or aliens. Cheek Boss is a woman-owned company, and I love supporting their inclusive sizing and cheeky monthly subscription options.”

—Rebecca Sager, Senior Vice President of Construction

LOL notebooks

“I literally laugh out loud every time I see the front of my notebook that says, ‘Spells and incantations people should fear me for.’ WTF/Notebooks has more than 200 hilarious and clever sayings to choose from. Another favorite: ‘Menopause and other things that get me heated.’”

—Kim Ledgerwood, Editorial Director

A donation to treasure

“As a native Floridian, with family and friends affected by Hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton, I’ll be giving donations to Convoy of Hope as gifts this year. I’ll also be donating to Undue Medical Debt, knowing that most bankruptcies are caused by medical debt so imagine how meaningful the gift of receiving news that the debt has been paid can be.”

—Jessica Collison, Director of Program Analytics

Spa-inspired equipment

“These comfy and colorful headbands are great to use when washing your face or applying makeup. It’s the gift of a spa-like treatment without leaving your home.”

—Kerri Agnello, Administrative Associate

Cool mattress sheets

“I think bed sheets are a good gift — they’re always appreciated but often not something people invest in for themselves. One company in particular — Cozy Earth — specializes in a material that is temperature-controlled, so they’re great for women going through menopause. I bought them for my mom for her birthday, and she loves them.”

—Jess Goddard, Senior Director, Advertising and marketing and Logo Integration

Craveable culinary equipment

“My new favorite thing is my bread slicer. This past year I’ve been very into making sourdough breads, desserts, snacks — the works! Sourdough has gut-health benefits and the process of making all of these treats is very therapeutic for me as well. If you’re a sourdough girlie like me, you know that the worst part of the process is actually cutting the bread. The slicer is the perfect sous chef!”

—Victoria Gherardi, Editorial Associate

Subscription exercise app

“Between getting the kids off to school and working, I don’t have time to make it to the gym in the morning. The Beachbody on Demand app helps me keep fit and fits into my busy schedule. I love it because there are so many different types of workouts and all levels of ability.”

—Julie Leff, Senior Webmaster
