Believe it or not, it's high time to start thinking about what you'll be gifting this year and to whom. Whether you're invited to a holiday gift exchange or can't decide what to get for your family members, we're here to help. Our editors have the 411 on what's in this season, so we enlisted our very own senior editor, Erin Fitzpatrick, to give us the scoop on what she's shopping for the holidays.
Erin has an eye for picking pieces that are bound to sell out. So when she tells us to buy the Ugg boots, you better believe we add them to our carts. This season, she's turning to Macy's to check off everyone on her list, eyeing everything from classic beauty buys to fashion-favorite coffee-table books. Keep reading to see everything on her wish list and what she has to say about it.

"I can't resist a good baseball tee."
"MAC's Ruby Woo lipstick has garnered a cult following because it's truly the perfect red hue."
"This absolutely adorable book includes seven of Jane Austen's most memorable works, including Emma and Sense and Sensibility. It's perfect for the stylish reader in your life."
"Ugg doesn't only make the best boots in the game—the brand's blankets are also sumptuously soft and oh-so cozy."
"A silk sleep mask feels like such a luxurious gift, yet it's only $31. Talk about a win-win."
"I love gifting my mom with luxurious skincare because it makes her feel so special. Not only is this packaging beautiful, but this serum comes highly reviewed."
"I love receiving high-quality tea as a gift. This organic matcha from Japan is an all-around smart buy."
"Essie has long been my go-to brand for nail polish. I adore this wintry burgundy color."

"Trust me: Any fashion girl would love to receive this classic Burberry perfume, which not only smells delicious but also comes in a chic bottle worthy of being displayed on your dresser."

"This would be a fantastic gift as a teenager's first designer bag, but rest assured it's incredibly chic whether you're 16 or 61."
I recently went to Provence, the lavender capital of the world, and came home with some delicious honey made with lavender. I had never thought to combine these two ingredients, but I’m so hooked that I’ll never go back.
"Bring the hotel experience home with a cozy white robe. It's a foolproof buy for literally anyone on your gifting list."
I’m a sucker for simple, old-school games like Jenga. It’s the perfect way to bring the family together during the holidays.
"This sleek and sophisticated notebook would make a lovely gift for someone who recently scored a promotion or a new job."
"These beautiful cocktail glasses are the perfect gift for a new homeowner—or anyone, really!"
"If someone in your life is still wearing cheap plastic sunglasses, these unisex Ray-Bans would be a fantastic upgrade."
