Chrissie’s friend, FabLister Carolyn B., hosted a small ‘IT’ party for our Mahjong group in which everyone brought favorite new items from the year – one ‘it’ item for women and one ‘it’ item for men. These are products that we, or a male in our lives, each really, really loved this year. Each person showed their product choices and explained why they are so special, with the goal being that everyone would leave with great, new, fully tested gift ideas. Everyone shared SUCH great items that we wanted to share them here!
Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper: Makes great popcorn without any added oil!
Garmin Wireless Backup Camera for Bike: This little unit attaches to a bike allow the rider to know when vehicles are approaching them from behind.
Soundcore Sound Cancelling In-Ear Pods: Pop in these little ear pods and block out any passive noise like snoring or traffic when at home or screaming babies while on airplanes!
PJ Harlow Night Shirt: A very cozy night shirt that looks great!
Blackwing Pencils: For a writer, list maker, or a person who keeps an ‘old school’ paper calendar, these pencils are very special, feel great to write with, and have great erasers.
Fearless Body & Clothing Tape: This magic tape can be used to close the gap in a blouse, make a ‘V’ in a dress plunge a bit less, hold down a lapel, keep a shirt from slipping off your shoulder, hem pants, and much more! All of us are buying it!
The Original MakeUp Eraser Towel: This makeup remover towel is SO SOFT (and the one shared was 5 years old and looked/felt like new!). Keep it in the shower or by the sink, wet with hot water, and wipe off makeup. It is so much softer and better than a washcloth! Like a ‘blankey’ for your face. We are all buying it for ourselves and for gifts.
amika perk up Dry Shampoo: After testing lots of dry shampoos, this has been deemed the very best to extend days between wet shampoos.
Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm: After testing TONS of lip products this was found the best for long lasting moisturizing. We all tried it and couldn’t agree more! Another one we are ALL going to buy ASAP.
Goop Clean Nourishing Lip Balm Trio: Goop has great ‘clean’ beauty products, and lip products in particular should be clean as we ingest them. This trio of products is in a great light color palette in a balm format.
Goop Hydra-Barrier Gel Gloss: Another great Goop lip product, these are like lip oils in that they leave you super moisturized and not at all sticky. Another one we all loved.
Peter Millar 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt: A husband favorite – looks great and is comfortable for work or play.
Saxx Men’s Underwear: Another husband favorite, and you can get fun prints for seasonal joy! The ‘Vibe’ was recommended in particular.
Eby Women’s Underwear: Seamless comfort that won’t ride up or slip down due to the light ‘flocking’ on the waistband and leg bands.
Quince Athletic Bra: Super comfortable workout bra for those who don’t need a ton of support.
Hanni Splash Salve: Put it on at the end of your shower, do a quick rinse, and stay moisturized throughout the day.
InnBeauty Extreme Cream: Super rich moisturizing face cream for those who have dry skin and want the rich hydration of Augustinus Badar’s product at a fraction of the cost.
Foot Massager: Plug this in under your desk or by the sofa and feel the soft relaxing massage that also warms up your feet!
Adjustable Phone Stand: Great for FaceTime chats or Zooms. The adjustable stand lets you easily get a great angle.
Cocofloss Dental Floss: This has been one of FabList’s favorites so it was fun to hear others recommend it. It ‘expands’ a bit (vs. regular stiff floss) when you use it to easily get all the gunk out of your teeth!
Beanie with Built-in Headlamp: For early morning or late night walks or runs, the bright, built-in headlamp on this beanie is a winner.
