ELEMENT CASE

Day or night, the slim and stylish Solace from Element Case is ready to go. Precise CNC aluminum top and bottom crowns cap your iPhone’s vulnerable corners while integrating with a durable, soft-touch polycarbonate body that your fingers can’t resist. elementcaseholiday.com

GAP

This is the one that will stop all other coats in their tracks. Made from water-resistant nylon, Gap’s Fur Trim Snorkel Parka will stand up to whatever the weather throws at you—and won’t sacrifice when it comes to style. (And yes, all its fur detailing is faux fur.) gapgiftguide.com

REEBOK CLASSIC

The Ventilator represented a very different approach to running shoes during the early ’90s, with colors and silhouette lines that were bolder and more expressive than what was commonly seen at that time. Today, the Ventilator’s versatile silhouette can be dialed up in bold graphics and colors, or executed in a cleaner, simplified fashion that makes it extremely wearable. For increased breathability, it has ventilated side panels, and for durability, a tough-as-nails outsole that provides terrific traction. Reebok Classic Ventilator, $79.99.

THE BODY SHOP

Get all dolled up and add a rosy glow with The Body Shop’s iconic Lip and Cheek Stain in ultra-cute, special-edition packaging. Available at all The Body Shop locations and online at thebodyshop.com. Geisha Doll Lip & Cheek Doll, $8.
