Perks and Rec: Our favorite gifts are still on sale


If you’re shopping for gifts on this fine Sunday morning, there are plenty of gift-worthy options still on sale. Since we spend so much time curating our gift guides every year, we know which deals are good and which are duds.  

  • For the one who loves to document everything: the best portable photo printer we’ve tested. It’s compact, so it’s perfect to tote around but doesn’t compromise image quality.  
  • For the aspiring chef: our favorite affordable cast iron pan. Lodge makes high-quality cookware that our experts love, so it’s a great gift that’ll last a long, long time. 
  • For the trendsetter: a hair waver. This one from Hot Tools is our top pick because it’s easy to use and creates wavy tresses that hold all day. 

I’m finishing my holiday shopping list over at Baggu—these colorful packing cubes are going to look great all wrapped up. After that, I’m treating myself to a personalized journal from Papier while they’re marked down. 

Happy shopping,
