Favorite things parties are one of the most fun parts of the holidays. Everyone shows up with a few of their ride-or-die staples and by the end of the night, you’ve discovered ten new products you suddenly can’t live without either. It’s part gift exchange and part group chat come to life, with a little side of show-and-tell. The best gifts are useful, affordable, and usually something you’ve told at least three people about already.
These are some of our favorite things. They’re everyday staples that make life better, smell amazing, or just work the way they should. There’s the detergent that makes your sheets smell like they came from a five-star hotel, a hair towel that finally stays in place, and a migraine cap that doubles as a hangover fix. Skincare that’s gone viral for a reason, the softest travel pillow you’ll ever use, and even a toothbrush that works as hard as the one you leave at home. Every product here is something we’ve used, loved, and can’t shut up about, which is exactly what a favorite thing gift should be. You’re welcome.
