Are Eyeing This Holiday Season

Practicality is in the eye of the beholder. To some, it’s a pair of earrings that elevates any outfit while being beautifully appropriate at any event. To others, it’s headphones that are chic, easy, and tangle-free.

Whatever it is, if it saves time—or sanity—it’s a holiday gift worth investing in. We tapped some of the busiest women we know for ideas on, well, all of the above.
