I know this is a bit controversial, but please hear me out: The holiday season is not always the most magical time of the year. Between decorating, traveling, putting together festive #OOTDs — and, of course — shopping for foolproof gifts that’ll impress everyone on your list, it’s truly the most #stressfulszn. Yes, there are so many things that make the holidays magical, but it takes a lot of time and energy to get to that glorious finish line where you can binge your fave holiday movies with a cup of hot cocoa in hand. And if you’re like me, you’re far from that point. In fact, you’ve yet to make a single dent in your laundry list of presents to buy, and I’m low-key freaking out already. The good news? I’ve found the cutest place to score gifts for literally everyone on my list (with picks under $50!) in one fell swoop so I can actually enjoy the holidays this year.

Aerie’s likely your go-to spot for on-trend, comfy loungewear that you never want to take off — like their TikTok-viral Crossover leggings that I need in every color. So if you haven’t checked out their recently dropped holiday gift section, you’ll want to make a beeline and STAT. Whether you’re shopping for your BFF, sister or even your furry friend, Aerie is the destination for cozy and on-trend gifts that’ll delight everyone this year. There are also plenty of cold-weather accessories like fuzzy slippers and socks, along with chic jewelry that’ll elevate any holiday look (or just sweatpants). Consider Operation Gift Giving done.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite under-$50 picks from Aerie’s seriously covetable gifting collection that are guaranteed to earn you the best gift-giver award. And the icing on the cake? There are even a ton of items marked down, so it’s time to knock out that entire gift list right now. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to treat yourself to a little something too!
