When it comes to holiday gift shopping, Bloomingdale’s has it in the big brown bag.
And with December fast approaching, Page Six staffers aren’t just asking stars what they’re shopping; we’re also checking off our own lists at the iconic NYC-based department store.
Whether you’re looking for a scent-sational signature fragrance or the cozy cashmere we can’t get enough of, keep scrolling to shop all of our expert editors’ holiday must-haves.
“During the colder months — and really, any time of year — you can never have enough scented candles. I can’t think of a single person who’d be upset about unwrapping this Le Labo trio (featuring the brand’s iconic Santal 26 scent) for the holidays.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
“I love my Ultra Mini UGGs, and they would make the perfect gift for the holiday season. These are the best everyday shoes, and I love that they are short enough to wear under jeans but also look great with scrunchy socks and leggings.” — Tori Schneebaum, Page Six Photo Director
“When in doubt, a beautifully framed personal photo makes for a foolproof gift. Pro tip: Parents love these!” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
“As we know, red is the color of the season — and I have been obsessed with little cardigans recently. You really can’t go wrong with Bloomingdale’s-brand C By cashmere; it goes on sale often and it’s great quality.” — Kristin McNamara, New York Post VP of Influencer Marketing & Franchise Growth
“YSL’s Black Opium is the best fragrance I’ve ever tried. It’s warm and spicy without being overwhelming and lingers all day (and night and through laundry cycles). I get compliments every single time I wear this scent, which is an immediate win in my book.” — Alexandra D’Aluisio, Page Six Managing Editor
“Barrel jeans are super trendy right now, but I wasn’t sure I was ready to commit a ton of money to testing them out. Once I interviewed a celeb who was wearing this exact pair and raving about them, I knew I had to try. The under-$100 price tag makes these a no-brainer!”— Melissa Minton, Page Six Style Senior Writer/Editor
“Everyone who blow-dries, curls or straightens their hair needs the Dyson Airwrap. It’s not only made styling my hair so much easier, but also saved my hair from the heat damage I used to get from harsher tools. Yes, it’s pricey, but it often goes on sale and it’s truly an investment that will last for years. Pro tip: If you have longer hair, get the long barrels. They’re a game changer!” — Brooke Matalon, New York Post Social Media Marketing Manager
“Bucket bags are all the rage in 2024 and this Zadig & Voltaire style would make an amazing gift. All three colors are perfect for winter and can elevate any look.” — Tori Schneebaum, Page Six Photo Director
“I love giving and receiving coffee table books during the holidays; pick one out on a topic close to your giftee’s heart, and you can’t go wrong. Packed with illustrations, old photos and interviews with celebrity patrons, this volume on the history of one of New York’s most famous hotels would be a welcome addition to my shelves.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
“I think the best presents are the ones your giftee would never treat themselves to — like fancy printed pajamas! I’m extremely obsessed with this Desmond & Dempsey set.” — Elana Fishman, Page Six Style & Shopping Director
“This is the absolute perfect gift for someone like my mom. Everyone loves cashmere, and this is such a chic way to stay warm in the winter months at work or while traveling.” — Caroline Blair, Page Six Reality TV Reporter
“I recently bought these Stuart Weitzman boots because I have another pair with a pointed toe that I’m obsessed with, but they aren’t walkable enough to wear to work. These, on the other hand, are the perfect heel height to dress up any fall or winter look while still being comfortable enough to wear on the subway and walk around in all day. My best fall purchase without a doubt!” — Kristin McNamara, VP of Influencer Marketing & Franchise Growth
“These pants are so comfortable and a perfect addition to any capsule wardrobe. I love that you can wear them to work, on a plane and for a night out. The best part? They’re machine washable!” — Tori Schneebaum, Page Six Photo Director
“I’ve been looking for the right knee-high boots this season that have a comfortable heel, polished look and the right price tag — not an easy feat. This Sam Edelman pair fits the bill and reminds me of a Khaite style that’s nearly 10x the price!” — Melissa Minton, Page Six Style Senior Writer/Editor
“I’m getting these UGG slippers for my boyfriend, because I can’t take him borrowing mine anymore! They’re so chic and comfortable and the perfect shoe to wear for a casual cool day.” — Caroline Blair, Page Six Reality TV Reporter
“I have these sunglasses and recommend them to everyone! They’re a trendy rectangle shape but the slight cat eye gives them an edge. I love the gold logo because it instantly elevates any outfit.” — Alexandra D’Aluisio, Page Six Managing Editor
“I live in my Birkenstocks all summer, but with colder temperatures finally here, these would make the perfect seasonless addition to any brand fan’s closet.” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Commerce Writer
“My millennial heart grew two sizes bigger when I saw North Face bringing the iconic fleece jacket back in new colorways and cropped styles. I bought this for my husband and love the boxy shape and drawstrings on the bottom for a different vibe, depending on the weather.” — Michelle Moezam, New York Post Senior Commerce Social Media Manager
“111SKIN’s masks are a red carpet ritual for so many stars — and having tried almost every variety, I can totally see why. While it’s rare to find the British brand’s products on sale, I’ll be snapping up this adorable gift set before it flies off the shelves.” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Commerce Writer
“I love the bag charm trend, and these high-quality leather fruit charms are so colorful and bring such a great pop to an everyday bag. They also double as an AirTag holder for an added safety feature on your nicer bags.” — Michelle Moezam, New York Post Senior Commerce Social Media Manager
“As a relatively short girly, I love a good (but subtle) platform shoe, and these Dr. Martens loafers are the perfect shoe for the office. They’re affordable — and if you’ve ever owned anything from Dr. Martens, you know their shoes are practically indestructible, so they’ll definitely last a long time. It does take some time to break them in, but trust me, they’re worth it!” — Brooke Matalon, New York Post Social Media Marketing Manager
“I tried these jeans on a whim and instantly put them on my holiday wish list. They’re soft and stretchy — which I love, because #comfort — but still look super chic.” — Alexandra D’Aluisio, Page Six Managing Editor
“I’m completely head over heels for Bottega’s denim-printed leather items, and even more so for this small and compact card holder. I love throwing mine into my pocket for my daily bodega coffee run or showing it off in my PVC Chanel crossbody bag.” — Michelle Moezam, New York Post Senior Commerce Social Media Manager
“I wear my Hokas every day, and they’ve stayed so comfy and supportive. I’d love to unwrap a fresh pair under the tree this year — and can practically guarantee that plenty of folks on your gift list feel the same!” — Hannah Southwick, Page Six Commerce Writer
