4. Hello Nancy
The perfect gift for her. Hello Nancy is a viral intimate wellness and sex toy brand that makes beginner-friendly devices designed to look like everyday objects or fruits, such as their flagship lemon-shaped air-suction toy, the "Lem". The Hello Nancy Tennis Collection is a limited-edition, tennis-themed sexual wellness collection launched by the adult toy brand around the U.S. Open. Hello Nancy is committed to breaking the taboo and creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone to explore their sexual curiosities.
5. Owala
Owala has an array of gifts to choose from! Consider the new Owala bag collection for holiday gifting. What better way to treat the Owala fan in your life than with a bag from their favorite brand? Launched in summer 2026, Owala bags are thoughtfully designed for everyday adventures and optimal style: inflatable insulated totes that keep cool things cooler; crossbodies made for hands-free adventures; and water-friendly totes built to tame carry-all chaos. Pair The All-Day Crossbody with a FreeSip bottle, as the bag features an integrated bottle compartment that fits up to a 32oz FreeSip or a 30oz FreeSip Sway. Our personal favorite from the bag collection is The Cloud—a stunning, stylish tote that carries everything needed for a day at the beach, in the city, or anywhere in between, plus it keeps snacks and drinks cool due to the unique inflatable insulation. From a fashion standpoint, The Cloud is a clear winner! And, an ideal stocking stuffer is the new 18oz FreeSip Sway bottle—perfectly sized for kids or for anyone wanting a smaller Owala sidekick. It has all the same features as the larger Sway bottles—the patented sip-or-swig FreeSip Spout, a comfy bucket handle, a leakproof locking lid, and triple-layer insulation—in a size suited for holiday stockings.

7. Express x Sarah Jane Nader
Express debuted a limited-edition collection co-designed with Sarah Jane Nader. Inspired by her signature style, the collection pairs polished tailoring with fashion-forward pieces that transition from day to evening. We especialy love The Faux Leather Casting Jacket - Inspired by the cool confidence of a model at a go-see, SJ gives sleek faux leather a sharp, asymmetrical cut. It’s the ultimate off-duty layer built for a bold first impression—because you aren't just showing up, you're here to book the job.
Rooted in our universal connection to nature and the cosmos, Sequin is about recognizing the beauty surrounding all of us and channeling that energy to wearable objects.
