EDITOR'S NOTE

If you’re looking for a quick scroll between endless puzzles, binge-watching Stranger Things and Heated Rivalry, and reading, look no further. Today, we’ve rounded up a couple of end-of-year sales that’ll do the trick (especially if you aren’t fully happy with what Santa brought you).

Before we get into it, here are some of the gifts our editors received this year that they’re deeply obsessed with:

• A plush, weighted blanket that’s worth its Oprah-approved hype.

• This 500-piece puzzle that’s cute enough to frame when you’re done.

• A temperature-controlled mug for all the coffee aficionados out there.

• This soft cable-knit sweater that isn’t itchy.

If you’ve ever been skeptical about Great Jones’ appeal (especially with its ever-present popularity on Instagram), we hear you. That said, now is the time to scratch the itch if you’re curious about the colorful kitchenware. From now until January 5, Great Jones is offering up to 50% off some of its most popular styles to make room for its 2026 offerings. Some of our personal (and highly tested) favorites include this nonstick loaf pan and the brand’s cult-favorite mini Dutch oven.

Three Totally Random Things

Here are three random products we’re loving this week:

Year of Yes: 10th Anniversary Edition by Shonda Rhimes

• The story: Margo here. I stand on business when I say that Year of Yes is one of the best celebrity books of all time. Legendary TV producer Shonda Rhimes (creator of the Olivia Pope) chronicles what it was like for her to say yes to pretty much everything for a year and how it changed her life for the better. It was originally published in 2015 (which is when I first read it), and a decade later, Simon & Schuster brought it back in a stunning hardcover edition with seven new chapters. I’m definitely giving it a re-read in the new year, and if you haven’t read it before, this is the perfect time to pick it up.
