10 Things We're Doing Besides Taking 15% off the Greatest Gift Sets on Earth
Sometimes even the best people on your gifting list are a pain in the ass to buy for. Not because you don’t know ‘em well enough and not because they don’t mean enough to you—but just because they’re tough to pin down. We created our gifts sets for those people. (And, okay, we also created them for your cousin-in-law, who, frankly, you don’t know well enough and doesn’t mean enough to you.) Use the code GETSET to take 15% off any of these perfectly put-together presents—but hurry because that offer ends tonight at 11:59 P.M. ET, and we promise you this: A more fitting gift is not going to suddenly reveal itself on December 23rd.

Taking possibly too much joy in just how good these mini bouquets looked on table for 15 (and just how freaking long they lasted after).
Missing my subway stop while totally absorbed in A Kind of Freedom, a gripping debut novel that traces a New Orleans family across three generations.
Contemplating sending a whole slew of holiday cards if only for the opportunity to have them carried by dogsled.

Convincing even the most aggressive orange-wine-skeptics at the dinner table to order this stuff by the bottle once they’d had a sip of it.
Inching closer to to a cell-phone-free bedroom by pulling the trigger on a good-looking alarm clock.
Trying to remember the last time I went on vacation without Bananagrams in tow.
Listening to a lot of Longform these days ‘cause they’re really on a roll featuring a roster of badass women with incredible stories to tell, including Kara Swisher, Jodi Kantor, and Maggie Haberman.
Taking my newfound sneaker enthusiasm one step further with a seriously beautiful (but also legit fascinating!) book that helps make the whole realm feel a little less frivolous thanks to first-person deep-dives into the business and design details of the classics.

Declaring this the wackiest face wash I’ve ever massaged into my pores. (Its bizarreness also makes it a very good gift, by the by.)
