I'm not ashamed to admit that when it comes to holiday shopping, I'm quite the procrastinator. As someone who's accustomed to treating myself to gifts all year round (we all deserve nice

things, okay?), shopping for others sometimes feels like a challenge. I'm an editor with a keen eye for what's trending, but choosing gifts for loved ones can be difficult without the pressure of an immediate deadline. This year, I'm trying to change that by doing my holiday shopping early. My vibe is cozy-chic, and Aerie happens to specialize in this department. The waffle knit hoodies, seamless bralettes, and chenille sweaters don't even begin to scratch the surface of all of the cute loungewear essentials that my friends and family are about to receive this holiday season. If you're prepared to get the perfect gifts for the people in your life (yourself included), my favorite items from Aerie are waiting for you below.
