EDITOR'S NOTE
It turns out there are quite a few pre-Christmas sales happening this week. Here are the ones worth shopping ahead of the new year:
25% off matching sets at Aerie for feeling put-together as you hibernate.
Up to 40% off at Ann Taylor. We’re loving its Weekend collection right now for work-friendly soft pants and stylish casualwear.
Up to 30% off select Uggs at DSW. If you’re looking for a sign to buy a new pair, consider this one.
This KitchenAid sale at QVC. Look no further for wedding gifts.

Today’s the last day to shop Papier’s sale
Get 15% off almost everything.
There’s one sale we shop religiously every year, and it’s Papier’s 15% off sale. We stock up on our go-to custom planners, a journal (or two), and some last-minute gifts for friends. It ends today, so don’t hesitate. The Type A part of you will feel better after.
Three Totally Random Things
Here are three random products we’re loving this week:
Prequel Hand Wrap
It’s so good that it won’t come off after you wash your hands.
Engraved Compact Mirror
A sweet (yet inexpensive) gift they’ll actually use.
HigherDose Red Light Therapy Face Mask
After testing for months, our editor can confirm this works. Use your HSA/FSA dollars at checkout along with code FLASH25.
