4. BARE NECESSITIES After finding just the right gift for your boss’ cousin’s girlfriend’s ex, it’s time for a reality check. Sure the holidays are a time for giving, but don’t forget about your needs. Call us Scrooge if you must, but holiday shopping can be downright exhausting and Bare Necessities is the perfect shoulder to cry on. A long day of dashing around town to find just the right gift deserves a cozy pair of pj’s to say the least. That hot holiday party next week most definitely calls for some festive skivvies. And that eggnog, cookie & slice of pie (did we mention eggnog?) may scream for some shapewear a la Bridget Jones. Because feeling good and treating yourself is the most generous gift of all.

5. LOOPED We’re all for waiting ‘til the last minute to kick off our New Year’s resolutions (read: 11:59 p.m., January 1st). But there’s one thing we wouldn’t mind getting a jump-start on…getting rid of those unsightly hair ties that have somehow taken up permanent residence on our wrist. It’s time for the world to meet Looped. Super-elastic Looped bracelets double as hair ties which minimize the loss factor while at the same time ensuring that we never sacrifice a moment of fashion. Plus, loop a few together to create anklets, lariat necklaces, boot charms and more. If only all our New Year’s resolutions were this easy...
