1 Sweatshirt
"In Pizza We Crust" Sweatshirt ($65)
"Does anyone really need an excuse to want a pizza shirt? You can wear this to hungover brunch or dress it up with a skirt for a night out on the town (and that 2 a.m. slice, of course)." — Caitlin Hacker, editor, Celebrity

4 Wine Collector's Set
The Andy Warhol by Cuvaison Collection wine set ($250)
"The owner of Cuvaison winery commissioned his friend Andy Warhol to design screen prints for his wine labels in '80s, and these gorgeous, grape-inspired patterns are so representative of the iconic artist's pop-art style. This set — which includes both a Chardonnay and Bordeaux blend — is the perfect gift for wine- and fine-art-lovers alike." — Britt Stephens, lead editor, Celebrity
5 French Press
Bodum Copper French Press ($75)

6 Wine
Delicate Estates Wine Labels: Because Tuesday ($7)
"I recently discovered Delicate Estates' hilarious wine labels, and I'm obsessed. I wholeheartedly agree with the company's motto, 'cards are better when they're attached to alcohol,' and as someone who admittedly uses 'because Tuesday' as an excuse to chill out with a glass of Cabernet, I need the matching wine label in my life. I've also found a new go-to site for gifts for my wine-loving friends since there are so many cheeky labels for every occasion." — Erin Cullum, assistant editor, Food
7 Herbal Supplement
Moon Juice Power Dust ($30)
"If I could, I would live across the street from LA's Moon Juice, an apothecary-like shop filled with house-made protein powders, elixirs, raw snacks, and other products intended to heal the body. If you're trying to scale way back on your caffeine intake but still need a little something-something to keep your brain functioning at full speed, this will do the trick." — Anna Roberts, editor, Food
8 Coffee Mug
Morning Culture Rise & Shine Diner Mug ($16)

9 Cooler
The Coolest Cooler ($400)
"One of the most successful Kickstarters ever, this cooler has a ton of amazing features, like a charging dock, Bluetooth speakers, LED lighting, and a built-in blender (yes, you read that right). You'll be the life of every beach day, picnic in the park, or tailgating bash." — Lisette Mejia, editor, News
10 POPSUGAR Must Have Box Subscription
POPSUGAR Must Have Limited Edition Box ($100)
"I would be a devoted Must Have subscriber even if I didn't work at POPSUGAR, and I get monthly subscriptions ($40 per month) for pretty much everyone I know (including the men in my life). The appeal of having a mystery box of hand-picked goodies delivered to your door every month seems pretty much universal. Plus, our Must Have team keeps coming up with variations on the theme, like a Mini box ($16 per month) with entirely different products from the regular monthly box and POPSUGAR Must Have Limited Edition Box ($100) for various seasons, like Neiman Marcus for holiday." — Nancy Einhart, executive editor
11 Ice Cream Pints
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams Indulgent Ice Cream, 5 Pints ($70)

It was designed to fit a full bottle of wine, but you can use it to keep water, cider, or whatever liquid you want cold for 25 hours (or hot for 12). After quite a few test runs, it's proven to keep Rosé perfectly chilled. It also comes in a 16-ounce water bottle size, which was featured in a POPSUGAR Limited Edition Must Have box. I pack them both for weekend trips!" — Angelica Marden, VP, Editorial Operations

33 Crunch Dynasty
"Crisp, salty, savory, and spicy, Crunch Dynasty ($10) makes for an excellent stocking stuffer for lovers of Asian food and spice in general. I've been sprinkling this versatile topper over roasted vegetables, rice, and fried eggs, basically anything that could use a hit of heat." — NP
