The "I'd Buy One for Myself Too" Gift Guide

The holiday season is upon us, and if you're anything like me, you're already eagerly bookmarking, screenshotting, and filling your cart with every cool item you come across to potentially gift to your nearest and dearest.
Thanks to my job that literally requires me to shop for a living, I always have an abundance of unique, fun, and stylish ideas on my holiday gift list (or should I say, wish list?). You see, sometimes I come across gifts so good that I'll inevitably want to buy one for myself too. Which leads me to today's gift guide. Below, I'm sharing 33 seriously chic finds—from the prettiest pajamas to the coolest kicks—that will not only be a great option for your friend, mom, sister, or colleague but perhaps for yourself too. Scroll below to get inspired.
