New here? Welcome. I am Raechel Louise, a fashion and beauty buyer in Los Angeles, and these are the products I use and recommend most. Shopping is easy: 1. Tap any product you like. 2. It takes you straight to the store that sells it. 3. Buy it there, just like any online shopping. That is all there is to it. Start with this short list of my most-loved things, then explore my gift guides below. I update this list first when I find a new favorite, so it is the quickest way to see what I am loving right now in skincare, beauty, and holiday gifting.

What to buy your adult daughter or daughter-in-law for Christmas, from a woman exactly her age: beauty gift sets, a silk sleep mask, jewelry, candles and small luxuries she will use every day. These are the gifts I give, and the ones I hope to receive. Tap any product and it takes you straight to the store to buy it, no account needed here.

Gift ideas for a toddler grandson or granddaughter, from a mom of a 2 year old: cozy pajamas, play clothes, toys and gear little ones actually use. Everything here can be ordered online and shipped to you or straight to them. Simple tip from me: for clothes, when in doubt, size up, toddlers grow fast. Tap any product to go straight to the store and buy it.

Skincare and beauty gifts for women over 50, picked by a professional beauty buyer: rich creams, firming serums, a silk pillowcase and beautiful lip and fragrance sets. Lovely to receive, easy to use, and nothing with a 10-step routine. Shopping is simple: tap any product and it takes you straight to the store to buy it.

The best stocking stuffers and small gifts for 2026: lip products, mini beauty, hair accessories, candles, ornaments and little luxuries that feel special without a big price tag. For her stocking, a coworker gift or a Secret Santa. Shop every stuffer through my ShopMy links here.

Toddler boy Christmas gifts my 2 year old actually plays with, wears and uses: pajamas, toys, books and gear, no plastic clutter that gets ignored by January. Mom-tested gift ideas for boys ages 1 to 3. Shop every gift through my ShopMy links here.

The best gifts for a pregnant mom or new mom in 2026, from a mom who is 7 months pregnant with her second boy: Perelel supplements, postpartum care, cozy bump friendly outfits and the practical luxuries nobody puts on a registry. Shop every gift through my ShopMy links here.

The best Christmas gifts for her in 2026: beauty gift sets, candles, jewelry, coffee table books and small luxuries I am giving my mom, my sister and my friends this year. Every gift is something I own or am buying myself, linked through my ShopMy so you can shop in one place.

My complete Perelel routine: the prenatal vitamin packs and supplements I have used since before my first pregnancy, now through my second. 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester packs, conception and fertility support, postpartum, protein, greens, collagen and hydration. Shop the Perelel Black Friday sale through my ShopMy links here.

Hotels I have actually stayed at and would book again, including Kauai and Hawaii stays, the Royal Sonesta Kauai and boutique hotels for a honeymoon, babymoon or family trip. Real stays, not a wishlist. Book through my links here.

If you buy one category from me this season, make it gift sets. The value beats the full sizes, the packaging already looks like a present, and every set on this list is built from products I use myself. This is the list I send my family when they ask what to get me, and the one I shop from for everyone else.

Everyone asks what I want for Christmas and the honest answer is: things for the house. I am seven months pregnant, nesting is real, and these are the pieces I would be thrilled to unwrap. The art object, the books, the storage that hides toddler chaos, and the one splurge that fixed my sleep. Family, this is the list.

No filler and nothing I would not give my own family. This is my real list for this year: beauty sets for my mom and my sister, the ornaments I collect, toddler gifts that get used well past January, and home pieces that make people think you spent more than you did. I am seven months pregnant and keeping Christmas simple, so everything here is order online, wrap fast, done.

I wait all year for this one. Everything on this list is something I actually use, at the prices I hold out for: the skincare and makeup I buy on repeat, the gift sets I stock up on for December, and the couple of splurges that finally make sense on sale. If it sells out, I remove it, so what is here is what is still worth grabbing.

Velvet pieces for the holiday season: rich, textured velvet dresses and separates that look expensive and feel festive. My edited velvet picks for Christmas parties and winter nights out. Shop through my ShopMy links here.

The finishing pieces for a holiday outfit: party shoes, evening bags and sparkly accessories that turn a simple black dress into the whole look. Fun shoes are the outfit. Shop shoes, bags and sparkle through my ShopMy links here.

Party dresses I would actually wear this holiday season: velvet, sequin and satin dresses for Christmas parties, New Year's Eve and winter events, in silk, chiffon and velvet only. Statement dresses that photograph well. Shop each dress through my ShopMy links here.

My hair care routine: the treatments, heat protectants and finishing sprays that keep my hair shiny, including Crown Affair finishing spray. For damaged, dry or postpartum hair that needs strength back. Shop my exact hair products through my ShopMy links here.
