    Most Coveted is a new shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.

    In my opinion, holiday gift shopping can be a slippery slope. I can have every intention of finding the best gifts for my friends and family, but it’s also very easy for me to get swept away with my own wish list once I see what’s on the market. If I come across an item that I want, it’s most likely the sign of an excellent gift. So I compiled a list of these highly covetable fashion and beauty finds, which anyone would be thrilled to receive and which I’m also secretly hoping to unwrap this season. Winter essentials by Jenni Kayne, a classic pair of riding boots, and hydrating beauty products are all included. Keep scrolling to shop the 30 gifts that I’m keeping my fingers crossed for.
