Honestly, I’ve learned the hard way that waiting until December is a recipe for stress-shopping, so this year I’m starting early—and the deals are already so good.

Think: A Michael Kors purse at Walmart that looks way more expensive than it is, Nordstrom luxe socks that feel like a cozy hug, and a Charlotte Tilbury value set that’ll make any beauty lover squeal.

For the friend who basically lives under a blanket? Fluffy throws are marked down. Hosting-obsessed sister-in-law? Charcuterie boards are trending and on sale. And Amazon has cute bracelets that make easy, stylish stocking stuffers.

With early-bird holiday deals starting at just $5, you can knock out gifts for her, him, and everyone in between before the rush hits. Trust me, your future self will thank you.
