a|dash Coffee Glassware, $49.99 | “Investing in unique glassware is the quickest (and one of the cheapest) ways to elevate a tablescape around the holidays. It also encourages me to drink coffee from my own fridge most days during the work week.”

Les Deux Discovery Set, $20 | “Choosing your signature scent can be difficult at times. Each Les Deux fragrence interacts with your skin’s natural pheromones to create your own distinct scent.”

Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips, $20.69 | “I have been using this product for years, and it makes the perfect (practical) stocking stuffer. I’ve had a fair amount of dental work over the years, and Lumineaux is the only teeth whitening agent I’ve used that hasn’t caused sensitivity in my teeth.”

Western Typography Print, $29.99 | “I have this hanging in my home, and I love how it’s simple, yet me. Bonus: As my design taste changes, it will continue to go with my decór I add in.”

Marble Chess Set, $74.90 | “I’ve had my eye on a modern marble chess set for so long now, and this one is stunning. Do I know how to play chess? No. Will this be the perfect centerpiece on my coffee table? Yes, absolutely.”

Brianna: “I’ve recently ditched the purse for a fanny pack to go totally hands-free while walking around town, which is why I’m eyeing these colorful fanny packs from Burlaep. (Pair it with this cute embroidered baseball cap and you’ve got a perfect city ‘fit.)”
