The favorite things party is honestly one of my favorite of the whole year. Because holiday shopping turns into a little game of “one for you, two for me,” I feel a lot less guilty when someone else is giving me their favorite things than me buying them for myself!
Speaking of favorite things, these are the rising trending items on Amazon this week, and I think they’re definitely worth a look!
1. Stanley X Barbie ’60s Twist ’N Turn Quencher (40 Oz)
If you’re all about staying hydrated and stylish, this Barbie-inspired tumbler is calling your name. I love the stripes and blue combo!
Pure nostalgia meets modern vibes.
2. Summer Fridays Holiday Lip Butter Balm Set
Three words: hydration on demand. This limited-edition trio of vegan lip balms is here to keep your lips soft, shiny, and oh-so-kissable. These are as cute as they are effective, making them perfect for gifting (or hoarding for yourself, no judgment).
3. CRZ YOGA Long Sleeve Tight Top
You know that go-to shirt you wear on repeat? This CRZ YOGA long sleeve might just replace it. It’s soft, fitted, and versatile—perfect for layering on cold days or rocking solo.
