1. Noise-cancelling headphones will help block out loud roommates, chatty coworkers, or anything else that distracts them from getting *ish* done.

2. A wireless charging station for all of their techy gadgets will be the gift they use time and time again. Why does everything always need to be charged?!

3. Jewelry is a sentimental way to celebrate the grad. This compass necklace or bracelet will serve as a reminder to follow their own path.

4. A book of lessons, wise words, and funny anecdotes will inspire, instill joy, and provide a little motivation.

5. This inspirational makeup bag, filled with all her favorites and maybe a gift card or two, would make a great gift!

6. A weighted blanket will keep them warm, help reduce anxiety, and replicate a warm hug from mom when she’s miles away.

7. The tassel was worth the hassle! These funny socks would make the perfect addition to a DIY graduation gift basket.

8. And if they’re a coffee lover, this mug is another basket filler that will get tons of use.

9. A tool kit is a must!! This is one of those gifts that they don’t know they want but will be grateful they have when they’re in a pinch.

10. This phone wallet is super convenient. Pop it on the back of your phone, tuck your cards and cash in, and boom…out the door you go.

11. This themed gift box comes with an “adult merit badge” coffee mug, 400 different fun facts, and a motivational book—a little bit of everything!

12. A 3-piece luggage set will get a bunch of mileage. While they make think it will be for all of their exotic adventures, their broke selves will really be using it for all their trips back home so they can do laundry for free.

13. Who doesn’t love a sweet treat?? This tin of delicious cookies will be gone in the blink of an eye, but the sugar high will keep them going for hours.

Cozy neutrals and warm gold tones help bring a little softness to your home during the harsh winter months. Pops of green will make your space feel livelier and more playful, and adding knitted and woven textures brings a sense of comfort and charm. Candles help set the mood with soft lighting, a big mirror helps open the space up, and a few eye-catching pieces serve as gorgeous focal points throughout the room.

While the holidays are over and we may be dreaming of spring, the reality is that we’ve got a couple more months of winter weather before it really starts to warm up. To help get you through the cold, snowy months ahead, we’re giving you some winter wardrobe inspiration so you can revamp your closet with minimal effort. These staple pieces in neutral shades and gorgeous jewel tones can be mixed and matched and worn for every and any occasion. Shop our winter capsule wardrobe guide below.

Tops: Layering up is essential for staying warm! Get simple layering pieces in different colors so you can wear them alone or under a sweater. We like this cream tank bodysuit and this basic black tank. Add a couple long sleeve tops in different varieties like this flattering black mock neck top or this beautiful purple Portofino shirt.

Sweaters: Cozy up with cute sweaters! Think options like this dark green tunic sweater, this cream turtleneck sweater, or this sophisticated purple cardigan. We also love sweater dresses, and this emerald padded shoulder sheath dress is stylish and comfy!

Pants: Focus on the essentials. We’re talking one good pair of black distressed skinny jeans, a pair of complementary-colored dress pants, and a pair of black velour leggings.

Jackets: Stay toasty with a few different jacket selections. This fun purple blazer is perfect for work or play, and this cream puffer jacket will keep you warm and looking good on the coldest of days.

Shoes: As much as we love shoes, keeping a couple good pairs of go-to shoes for winter will make getting dressed a breeze. These black heeled booties, cream combat boots, and pretty purple ballet flats will look great with any outfit.
