The holidays are a time for family and togetherness. But they’re also super stressful, let’s be honest. Between booking trips, planning family outings, and getting enough gifts to make your credit card bill cry, you never seem to find the time for yourself. Not only though are the holidays a time for family bonding, but they’re also a time of rest, reflection, and relaxation. So make sure to find pockets of the day for you and treat yourself to some of the products on your list as well. 

New Balance 550 Salt and Pepper

Who doesn’t love a classic? The New Balance 550 is a vintage basketball sneaker from the 1980s that has recently made a comeback. Since Aimé Leon Dore collaborated with New Balance on the sneaker model in 2020, it has become a must-have for anyone who wants to stay on trend. And with a price tag under $200, you can add a bit of retro style to your wardrobe while saving some coin in your wallet.

NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe Tom Sachs Dark Sulfur

Tom Sachs and Nike have teamed up once again to bring you the General Purpose Shoe. This time around, the shoes come in a Dark Sulfur colorway that is sure to turn heads. The sneaker is made with a durable tread that can withstand any terrain, making it the perfect shoe for any adventure. You deserve to treat yo’self to one of the top sneaker releases of the year, especially when it’s selling for close to its retail price in many sizes.

Nintendo Switch Lite Turquoise

Sometimes all we need is some me-time. With the holidays just around the corner and time spent shopping for others, it’s hard to find a short period of relaxation. So for those looking to break out and have some escapism from the day-to-day grind, pick up a Nintendo Switch Lite. The Nintendo Switch Lite allows you to dive into the world of next-gen Nintendo games such as Zelda: Breath of the Wind, Mario Odyssey, and Metroid Dread. Currently, the portable console is selling well under its retail price, making it the perfect time to get something for yourself.

Nike has your comfort in mind with the extremely soft Nike Swoosh Faux Fur Blanket. This blanket is made with faux fur material and it’s large enough for you to wrap your whole body in it and take a quick power nap before hitting the shops again for more holiday gift hunting.

UGG Tazz Slipper Chestnut
