They’re the ones who see all the latest trends, beauty products, kids’ gear, and innovative gadgets as soon as they hit the shelves, and they’ve tried and tested it all in the name of research. So we went straight to the source, tapping our pros to share the finds they can’t wait to give to their own family and friends—and okay, maybe themselves—this holiday season. And if you’re looking for a little extra assistance crossing off your holiday shopping list, all the experts below are available for free in-store and virtual appointments, too.
BAREFOOT DREAMS IN THE WILD THROW
“I always recommend something warm and cozy as a go-to gift this time of year,” says Jun Lopez, a stylist at our Shops at Riverside store in Bergen County, New Jersey. “BAREFOOT DREAMS is definitely at the top of my list.” The Malibu-based lifestyle brand has amassed a devoted celeb and influencer following for its sumptuously soft blankets, pillows, robes, and loungewear for the whole family. Lopez’s pick: “There’s nothing better than cuddling up in this luxurious faux-fur throw—and the chic animal print is a plus!”
EBERJEY GISELE PJ SET
First launched in the mid-2000s, the brand’s signature soft stretch jersey set takes its style cues—think notch collar detailing and contrast piping—from classic men’s pajamas, while the temperature-regulating knit glides over skin for the most comfortable night’s rest. They’ve been a best seller almost ever since, and for good reason: “These are the softest pajamas on earth. My clients rave about how luscious the fabric feels,” says Lopez.
SAMSONITE & SARAH JESSICA PARKER CARRIED AWAY CONVERTIBLE CARRY-ON BAG
“I am always looking for the next adventure,” says stylist Logan Steiner of Bloomingdale’s in Chicago. “This travel bag is so universal and has a pocket for everything! Perfect for the jet-setter on your list.” Part of a collaboration between the leading luggage brand and style icon Sarah Jessica Parker, the five-in-one design includes a removable clutch that can also be carried as a crossbody and a backpack.
MICHELE DECO CHRONOGRAPH, 33MM
“When it comes to both gift-giving and accessorizing this holiday season, reach for the bling!” says Debra Shuman, a stylist at Bloomingdale’s in Boca Raton, Florida. “I love this gorgeous diamond-encrusted watch from MICHELE. The Art Deco-inspired design makes for a truly timeless gift.”
CUISINART AIR FRYER TOASTER OVEN
Hanieh Goodarzi, a stylist at our South Coast Plaza location in Southern California, knows that the fastest way to a gourmand’s heart is through coveted kitchen gadgets: “If you have a foodie in your life, you’ll want to make sure they have all the latest innovations to bring their culinary creations to life!” She’s especially partial to Cuisinart’s all-in-one design that air fries, convection bakes, convection broils, warms, and toasts. “I’m so not a chef, but I can whip my family up a delicious meal with my Cuisinart Air Fryer,” she says. “Anyone can use this time-saver during the busiest time of the year!”
NESPRESSO VERTUO NEXT DELUXE BY BREVILLE WITH AEROCCINO MILK FROTHER
As Goodarzi puts it: “With enough coffee, nothing is impossible!” Give your recipient the caffeine boost they need to take on the world with Nespresso’s most compact, sustainable, and smart Vertuo machine that brews six sizes of coffee and espresso plus new pour-over-style carafe coffee. Capsule-specific brewing delivers a consistently delicious cup at the touch of a button, while the accompanying Aeroccino3 froths hot or cold milk to top it all off.
SISLEY-PARIS SISLEŸA L’INTEGRAL ANTI-AGE EYE & LIP CONTOUR CREAM
“I love to give my friends and family ways to pamper themselves during the busy holiday season,” says Bloomingdale’s Chevy Chase resident beauty expert Mimi Tran. “This eye cream is gentle and formulated without essential oils, which makes it great for those with sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers like me. It addresses visible signs of aging, like lines around the eyes and the lips. I also love that it comes with a ridoki massage applicator to cool, prep, and soothe.”
SLIP LOVE ME I’M DELICATE GIFT SET
“This slip set is great for those who take their beauty sleep seriously—or those who need to start!” says Tran. “The pillowcase not only helps prevent wrinkles as you sleep, but also keeps your hair from getting tangled up.” Crafted of the brand’s proprietary slipsilk, which was refined over 10 years to provide maximum softness and durability, it’s accompanied by an elegant velvet delicates bag.
ROLLPLAY RIDE-ON 12V CHEVY SILVERADO, AGES 3+
For Frederique Le Chene, a stylist at our 59th Street flagship in NYC, finding the perfect gift is child’s play: “Kids’ toys are simply the best! This year, we have an incredible new selection to make the eyes of every kiddo on your list sparkle with excitement.” One of her favorites is this battery-operated ride-on truck tricked out with LED headlights, a horn, and engine noises to mimic a real Chevrolet Silverado. “This car is the ultimate gift for any kid with the need for speed,” she says.
TEAMSON LITTLE CHEF CHELSEA MODERN PLAY KITCHEN, AGES 3+
“In France, my home country, cooking is essential to life,” says Le Chene. “The kitchen is the most important room in the house. I would love to cook with my child in this play kitchen—the ‘meal’ would be perfect, and our time together, priceless.” A must for little chefs, Teamson’s set includes a refrigerator, stove, sink, and storage space with stylish gold accents.
