Our editors have already drafted up their holiday wishlists, and whether you’re looking for fresh gift ideas or need to do some winter shopping for yourself, there might be something in there that you want to add to yours, too.

Find a perfect transitional jacket for the recent odd weather or go full-send with a layered wool coat. Embrace winter pastels or head-turning boots. Whatever your preference and whomever you’re giving hints to, just make sure you’ve been good (for goodness sake).
