EDITOR'S NOTE
If you’re obsessed with miniature-sized products and deals, this is the best time to shop. And while we know you might be focused on filling stockings for the family, we’re here to help you take advantage of the season’s bundles, deals, and practical little products for yourself. Here are the stocking stuffers our editors are buying:
Our Affiliate Manager is restocking her “hall of fame”-level eye masks.
Our Commerce Director is buying more of the pimple patches that cure all.
Our Senior Social Media Manager is picking up a personalized luggage tag, so she can always spot her belongings on the go.
I’m grabbing more of the floss that scrubs my teeth clean in this adorable trio, and TSA-friendly versions of the skincare I can’t go a day without. Both don’t exceed $10.

Ever shopped Amazon Basics?
The retailer’s in-house brand is surprisingly good.
You’ve probably bought Amazon Basics toilet paper or batteries, but have you ever tried its clothes? Our editors have been floored by the quality for the price, with tons of stylish pieces under $50. Some standouts: this Bottega handbag dupe and this denim vest top.
Three Totally Random Things
Here are three random products we’re loving this week:
Paddywax Pink Peppermint Candle
Tony’s Chocolonely Tasting Pack
Treat yourself to these six mini chocolate bars or split them amongst friends.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hands
A drugstore hand cream that feels luxurious (and was last week’s bestseller).
Take Note
In one of the best deals we’ve seen this year, LaserAway is offering 75% off select packages until December 8. It applies to a package of eight or more hair removal treatments, so if you have a few big events coming up next year, buy now and use it later. PS: CoolSculpting is also on sale, offering up to 50% off eight or more treatments.
