The Best Products For December According To Our Editors

“This fir-scented French candle has made my entire apartment smell like a fresh-cut Christmas tree, which is ideal, since mine is very fake. It's made with 100% vegetable wax and burns clean, with a concentrated scent that's just...perfect. 10/10, no notes.” –Kaleigh Moore

“Even after a night of blissful sleep, I still wake up with bags under my eyes. I've tried a handful of products to counteract this, but none have given me any real results – until I tried Instant FirmX Eye Tightener. In mere minutes, this miracle product banished my bags and removed almost all signs of puffiness. You simply apply a small amount under the eye and you can see — and feel – it working to tighten things up. As the name implies, the results are temporary (for me, about 6 hours) but this is still a must have for anyone who wants a youthful boost to their appearance.” –Logan Sommers

“I think it's safe to say that red light therapy (aka RLT, if you're "in the mix") has become a very mindful, very demure biohacking-forward modality synonymous with recovery and rejuvenation. I recently looked into the light (not literally) with Qure's Light Therapy Mask, which—at first glance—made me feel I was the protag character in some wellness horror film. In just THREE minutes (yes, three), I'm able to perform nightly light therapy with either red light or a mixture of pink/blue light (when I'm in an acne crisis). It's hands-free, chord-free, FDA-cleared, and totally customizable to target five different areas of the face. Better yet, Qure's mask has eye coverings to protect your vision, which settles my nerves since there are often questions about how red light can affect the eyes. I've noticed that consistent use has helped to soothe my skin, reduce inflammation, and provide a serious, radiant glow. I'm all in on this tbh. It's become a permanent fixture as a part of my nightly moisturizing ~practice.~” –Annie Goodman

“Drop of Sunshine is a new, female-founded brand with bottles of approachable, balanced and versatile wines. Our house has loved the California Brut Sparkling Rosé ($25) as a go-to holiday hosting option served with or without food.” –Alyssa Kluge

“It's no surprise that we at TQE adore all things Tibi — as evidenced by my deep dive into Founder Amy Smilovic's Tibictionary — but this new collaboration just hits home for me, a busy journalist, forthcoming author and mother of twins, who seeks to retain style while carrying the motherlode. The classic neutral tote has been reconfigured and cojoined with a Tibi Men's Italian Leather Belt for the perfect union of utility and sophistication. Limited edition; Unlimited usage.” –Christine Morrison

“I just purchased Hydroviv's under-sink water purifier, engineered to target the specific contaminants in your local water supply. This sleek system fits seamlessly beneath your sink, delivering cleaner, healthier water straight to your tap. With all of the threats to clean drinking water these days, this is one of the most important investments I can think to make. Easy to install and requiring minimal maintenance, Hydroviv is a game-changer for anyone prioritizing their health or looking to reduce single-use plastic waste. Say goodbye to bottled water and hello to sustainable hydration.” –Lauren Kleinman

“Marie Veronique’s Barrier Restore Complex is a powerhouse serum designed to strengthen your skin barrier, soothe irritation, and lock in hydration for a healthier, more radiant complexion. Known for their cult-following, Barrier Restore Complex is packed with nourishing ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides. It’s a must-have for sensitive or compromised skin, especially as the seasons change. I've been using this complex for the past two weeks and am seeing great results already!” –Lee Joselowitz

“Investing in an Oura Ring has truly been one of my best life decisions. I've been struggling with my health for some time now, and having a companion to help walk me through the intricacies of my sleep, movement and even my stress levels has been such a blessing. It’s so noticeable that the more you wear it, the more personalized your insights become. I was lucky enough to get it in Gold, the color I wanted, and now it not only tracks my every move, it also fits in perfectly with the rest of my jewelry. This gem is for everyone – no matter your age, lifestyle or gender. A win all around!” –Naomi Joshi

“I'm a big fan of the entire DefenAge line, which uses defensins, natural molecules found in the body that are known for their role in immune defense and ability to generate new, healthy skin. This duo could, of course, be used year round, but I especially love it for cooler temps when our skin needs a little extra TLC. The 12-Factor Revitalizing Lip Enhancer hydrates lips while firming and helping boost collagen. The 3D Eye Radiance Cream helps lift and firm the upper eyelids while reducing the appearance of fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles. It's also safe for sensitive skin and contact wearers!” –Deenie Hartzog-Mislock

“Brodo’s Sampler Box is my wintertime superhero. Not only are their mouth-watering bone broths on par with the comfort of my grandma's home cooking, but they also help me kick the ill-fated seasonal flu like no other. If you’re like me and your social media algorithm has landed on the wellness side of the internet, you’ve probably already heard about bone broth and its benefits for the body. Let’s face the facts — in just one cup of Brodo, you get 10g of protein. I find myself drinking a cup every morning on an empty stomach before breakfast or even pouring some into the rice cooker to give my rice an extra boost. All the flavors in this box are truly delicious (try the Spicy Nonna — you won’t regret it!).” –Scott Silver

“Maev’s Raw Food Subscription has completely changed the game for my pup’s meals. Packed with everything she needs to stay happy and healthy, it’s obvious that these raw food blends are a far cry from your average kibble. In just one serving, my dog is getting clean, human-grade ingredients loaded with protein and nutrients to keep her coat shiny, her energy up, and her tail wagging. I love how easy it is to scoop and serve—no thawing, no prepping, just straight into the bowl. And honestly? My dog’s excitement every time I open the freezer says it all, especially when The Pork Recipe comes out. Safe to say, Maev isn’t just her favorite—it’s mine too!” –Shei Marcelline

“Back in the day of buying (and inevitably throwing away) oodles and oodles of cheap jewelry, I used to wonder what pieces of mine would be passed down some day. Jewelry brand "Their" has answered that question for me! With gorgeous, unisex pieces designed to be heirlooms, the brand is dedicated to creating pieces to last a lifetime – or more. I love their Pearl Drop Earrings – catch my future great granddaughter in them some day!” –Dana Abraham

“It is cold and dry, and my lips have been looking more and more like the desert every day. Tinted balms are beautiful, but I was needing something for the day to day and to wear overnight like a mask. This product from Doré is made of clean ingredients and can technically be used anywhere on the body that needs extra moisture, but I have been loving it for my lips. There is no scent, no flavor, just nourishing castor oil.” –Kelsey Borovinsky

“For any man who's looking to ease into the cardigan phase of his wardrobe, this shawl-collar knit from Buck Mason is the perfect training wheels. It offers just a hint of grandpa-chic without going overboard and the thick, cozy weave is a non-itchy merino wool. Layer it with Buck Mason's beloved slub tees for a chilly season uniform that can't miss.” –Sanibel Lazar

“Hot tool styling season (aka the holidays) is upon us, which means I'm putting my bleached hair through the wringer and its health was starting to take a hit. This leave-in conditioner truly lives up to the 'miracle' in its name. I applied one pump of the tropically-scented treatment to damp hair after showering and was met with the most gorgeous shine with no oily feeling whatsoever. It's color safe, cruelty-free, and protects against heat and sun damage — everything you could want in a daily treatment.” –Hannah Cassidy

“This ingenious napping product is as comfortable as it sounds – it's a literal human dog bed. I think of it as a personalized snooze pod, perfect for destressing in the middle of the day and unplugging. The soft texture and cozy circular shape hugs the body, while the border doubles as a head rest. Another benefit is it doesn't disrupt your sleep schedule: Make your bed with your fave quilt and decorative pillows already? No problem. The Plufl bed is a smart way to nap without heading back to bed (which can confuse the brain when it's time to sleep). The company recently released an XL size, for a pair of nappers, as well. I like the charcoal shade.” –Diana Shi
