Dokotoo Oversized Vest
“I got this wonderful oversized puffy vest for Christmas, and it’s the perfect thing to throw on over all things casual — from sweats to leggings to cargo pants. It also comes in 10 different colors! I was gifted the black, which is classic and goes with everything. But I love it so much that I also ordered one in green!” — Jenna Bratcher, Associate Editor & Lead Nashville Writer
Smart Wi-Fi Ceiling Light
“I’m generally not much of a ‘gadget girl’ — I fell into this high-tech LED light fixture accidentally. I needed to replace an outdated fixture, and initially, I just loved the minimalist matte black design. But now that it’s installed, I can’t stop playing with the endless lighting options. It’s controlled by an app that includes dimmers, timers, customizable colors, flame-like flickering features, and more. Mine is in the kitchen, so I mostly stick to shades that mimic natural light throughout the day, and I love to switch to orange/red light in the evenings to wind down for sleep. (But my four-year-old nephew loved the red-and-green Christmas options!)” — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor
Superluminous Under-Eye Genius
“This is my holy grail for under-eye concealers. It’s by far the best I have ever used, and it’s an absolute must-buy!” — Amanda Stanfill, Account Executive
LMNT Zero Sugar Hot Chocolate/Coffee Mixer
“I am addicted to hot chocolate right now, but there is too much sugar to have regular Ghirardelli or Swiss Miss every day, though I love those. I reach for my LMNT electrolytes daily, and their chocolate flavor with hot water or milk (and some mini marshmallows to balance out the saltiness with a little sweet) is so tasty. Plus, you get the electrolytes with zero added sugar. I know chocolate electrolyte packets seem weird, but trust me.” — Zoe Yarborough, Staff Writer
Cymbiotika Shilajit Black Gold Live Resin
“I love drinking tea year-round, but it feels especially comforting in the winter. I add this pure mineral live resin to hot water for a daily brain and nutrient boost. It contains 84+ minerals and is rich in fulvic acid, humic acid, vitamins, enzymes, tocopherols, bioflavonoids, antioxidants, and metabolites that combat free radicals. According to Cymbiotika, it counters cellular damage and increases muscle strength — perfect for starting the new year off right!” — Kate Feinberg, Associate Editor & Sponsored Content Specialist
Birkenstocks
“I live in my shearling Birkenstocks! And, for the open sandals — not the ones where the shearling is on the outside of the straps — buy the ones where it’s on the inside, touching your skin. Or, go all warm and cozy and get the Boston clog style.” — Liza Graves, CEO & Founder
‘Pink Goes Good With Green’ Candle Set
“I received this Wicked-inspired candle set as a Christmas gift, and both options smell incredible! The green Elphaba candle is Earthy and smells like a forest, while the Glinda option is sweet-smelling with notes of vanilla and candied flowers. I’m almost too scared to burn them!” — Brianna Goebel, Associate Editor & Sponsored Content Manager
Ursa Major Golden Hour Recovery Cream
“This is my favorite new face cream for the winter. It is golden like sunlight and smells so nice!” — Sarah Finklea, Sales Operations Manager
Covert Fleece Half Zip
“This is the best pullover ever!” — Jay Graves, COO
Pink Door Cookies
“What could be cozier than the smell of fresh-baked cookies? During a morning walk through Nashville’s Sylvan Heights neighborhood, I discovered Pink Door Cookies … With over 20 gourmet flavors, their cookies combine nostalgic flavors with premium ingredients. As a bonus, they even offer cookies for dogs. Whether you’re treating yourself, your furry friend, your family, or sending a gift, this bakery is a truly delightful find!” — Mary Breen, Web Designer
Berkshire Life Heated Throw Blanket
“I got this heated throw for Christmas, and I am obsessed! It has four settings so that you can control the warmth. It’s a must-have!” — Katelyn Caughron, Client Relations & Social Media Coordinator
Salty Caramel Whiskey
“If you’re skipping Dry January, here’s a delicious way to spice up your hot cocoa — add Ole Smoky Distillery’s Salty Caramel Whiskey. We tried it during Gaylord Opryland’s ICE! over the holidays, and it was so good that we had to grab a bottle to enjoy at home. You can find it at any local liquor store. I highly recommend giving it a try!” — Melissa Thompson, Account Executive
Goē Oil
“One of my all-time favorite beauty products — especially during colder months — is Jao Brand’s GoÄ“ Oil, a semisolid body oil packed with (28!) natural plant, fruit, and flower oils and butter. Whether you’re using it for makeup removal, post-shower hydration, or taming flyaways, it delivers every time. The sleek tube is chic enough for your vanity and compact enough to toss in your purse. Best of all, a little goes a LONG way!” — Anne Marie Hanna, Marketing Coordinator & Editorial Assistant
Cinnamon Orange Tea
“I love Savoy Tea Co., and a hot cup of their cinnamon orange tea is one of my favorite drinks in the winter. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, making it great for a cozy day in.” — Madison Huskey, Digital Account Coordinator
