Shoppers are fans of the entire SoSoft collection, including this cropped cardigan. “I’ve had tons of stuff from Old Navy that’s held up great over the last several years, especially any of their linen and natural fiber stuff. I don’t have good luck with their work pants like the Pixie line, as they fade quickly in the wash, but everything else has been great, especially their So Soft cardigans,” one shopper writes. “I looove the so soft fabric sweaters,” another agrees.

One of my favorite sections of Bass Pro Shops stores is the stuffed animal selection. There are so many adorable dogs, ducks, fish, and more. This Bass Pro Shops Giant Stuffed Bluegill for Kids is unusually popular with shoppers and has been available for decades. “My grandparents bought me this self same fish around twenty years ago now when I was a very young boy.

Excellent as a body pillow for support when sleeping, as bright and colorful as I remember!” writes one.

The All in Motion collection is popular at Target among fitness enthusiasts. It includes the Women’s Airy Sleek Wide Leg Sweatpants All In Motion. “I love the buttery soft feel of this material,” writes a shopper. “These are so soft but structured, kind of light a heavier material.

Gift cards are really the primary item that most teachers want. “Teachers live off Amazon, Target, Walmart, so gift cards from these places are always useful,” my friend, who is a public school teacher in Philadelphia, tells me. However, don’t just write their name on the card and call it a day. A personalized note goes a long way. “It’s really nice to get a handwritten note,” she says. Tell them exactly how they are making your year memorable. “The recognition is often lacking,” she adds.

The bad news? Teachers do not want another coffee or travel mug. The reality is, they get so many every Christmas, they don’t have room for them. The good news? They really do want a Dunkin’ or Starbucks gift card. “We all need the caffeine in some form, whether it’s coffee, tea, or sugar,” my friend says.

RELATED: 7 Best New Dollar Tree Christmas Finds Hitting Shelves This Week.

While you can’t bring a teacher a bottle of booze to school, as it is, well, illegal, if they do consume alcohol, a gift certificate or gift card to a wine and spirits store is appreciated.

Do not bring a teacher food you made at home. “I will graciously accept home-cooked food, and then toss it promptly in the trash,” the teacher tells me. However, a gift certificate to their favorite dining spot, or an Uber Eats or DoorDash gift card, will be used. I buy these at Costco, where they are 20 percent off retail.

If you are shopping for a teacher who takes lots of pictures, a digital frame will be appreciated, but make sure they are tech-savvy. My pick? The Aura Mercer is $89 at Sam’s Club, while the Aura Carver is $99.99 on Costco’s website.

If you decide to go the scented route, whether bath products, body products, or candles, stay away from strong scents unless you are sure that’s what they like. My friend maintains that so many items have ended up straight in the trash because the scent is overpowering. “Be careful with scented items and opt for neutral scents,” she says. The whole Beekman 1802 line is a great neutral option, including this Pure Goat Milk Bodycare Discovery Kit.

“Teachers can never have enough hand cream,” she tells me, “as we are constantly washing our hands.” One of her favorite gifts of years past was an Aldi hand cream set that came with several different little tubes. This L’Oréal Paris Hand Cream Favorites Collection is a solid option, as it offers more elevated creams.

If you want to splurge on some designer athleisure, this Vuori Halo Performance Hoodie 2.0, on sale for $77.93 from $98.00, will put a smile on their face. The hoodie is comfortable and moisture-wicking. “This hoodie is perfect for hiking or lounging! Comfy and moisture-wicking. Wore it for a backpacking trip this weekend and it was perfect for layering,” writes a shopper. “I love this hoodie! For starters, it’s not cropped like so many tops now-a-days. Like most Vuori items it’s butter soft, stretchy, and light weight. The metal zipper doesn’t feel cheap. If you are between sizes I would size down, it’s roomy but not oversized by any means,” another adds.

OOFOS are another popular gift idea. The OOFOS OOahh Slide Sandals, $29.83 – $59.95, are perfect for everyone in the family. They absorb 37% more shock than other foam shoes and provide biomechanical support for sore feet. “First time wearing OOFOS men’s slides! What a comfortable, full support of my arch, feeling! Gonna give them time to get used to the new sensation!” one shopper writes. “I went to REI to purchase the HOKA recovery slides, but the feel of the OOFOS blew them away. These have exceeded my expectations and I find myself wearing them around my home on a daily basis. I will need to get a second pair to wear outside. Went on a 10.5 mile walk a few days ago and this OOFOS helped my recovery remarkably and I did not feel any true exhaustion in my legs. Extremely comfortable shoes,” another adds.

A pair of HOKA sneakers will also be appreciated, including the HOKA Transport Shoes, on sale for $120.93. “I’ve been wearing Hokas since getting a diagnosis of sesamoiditis in one foot. I wear my regular size with custom orthotics and have the cream color (for 2 years) and the all black. The cream are cuter so get worn more often. I put them in the washing machine on cold/gentle and let them air dry and they get pristine clean again. They’ve worn a bit likely from the washing but still look and feel great. Width runs true to size and fits my custom orthotics. I want a pair in most colors!” writes a shopper.

Another fun little gift? The North FaceTerra Lumbar 1 L Waist Pack, $20.93 – $30.00. “Must have accessory,” says a shopper. “This bag is a small, but mighty! It holds everything I need and is comfortable to wear all day. Extra zipper inside to hold small belongings and a made of material that could be thrown in the washing machine if needed. Very comparable to another popular brand, but this one is just better!! Would recommend to a friend and likely to buy another color if TNF makes them!”

There are lots of YETI products at REI, including the YETI Rambler Travel Mug – 20 fl. oz., on sale for $30.39. It has a leak-resistant lid, a grippy exterior, and a cup-holder-sized bottom. “Like the twist top, needs a little bit more in the opening for a straw. Not much just enough for metal one, maybe a millimeter or two. Love the handle! Need a bigger one,” one says. “Excellent mug! I have been waiting a long time to purchase this specific mug. I was traveling overseas and the brand was not available for purchase. Love the stronghold lid design.”

There are also food gifts at REI, like this Tony’s Chocolonely Chocolate Bars Rainbow Tasting Pack Package of 6. Get it for $13.95.  “I loved the packaging. It was fun and eye catching. I tried the milk chocolate carmel sea salt. It was delicious. I did try it right after getting delivered on a hot day, so it was a little soft but over delicious. Great value and picks,” writes a shopper.

1. Drunk Elephant A-Shaba Complex Retinol Eye Serum

Savings: $45

Sometimes, you don’t have to scour the shelves for a dupe to get the pricey skincare items you’re after. In a recent video, TikTok influencer @faithdlandry runs down an impressive set of items she found at her local Ross Dress for Less. The first item she picks up is the Drunk Elephant A-Shaba Complex Retinol Eye Serum, a coveted product that’s typically on the higher end of the price spectrum.

“This is the most shocking thing I’ve found!” she says in the video, gasping at the $20 price tag. Meanwhile, she shows a screenshot of the exact same product on the Sephora website—where it’s retailing for $65 (or 220 percent more).

2. Bioderma Hydrabio H2O Micellar Water Face Cleanser

Savings: $10

That’s not the only thing that came as a surprise. Later on in her video, @faithdlandry comes across a bottle of Bioderma Hydrabio H2O Micellar Water Face Cleanser on the shelf.

“I’m shocked by this,” she says again as she shows off a $10.99 price tag. Meanwhile, on the Ulta website, the same product is listed at $20.99, or a full $10 more.

3. Innisfree Bija Clarifying Foam Cleanser

Savings: $6

In yet another shocking find, she also manages to pull a tube of Innisfree Bija Clarifying Foam Cleanser from the racks

“I didn’t know they had Innisfree in here!” she says before showing the camera a $7.99 price tag. By comparison, the same product is available on Amazon for nearly twice the price at $14.

4. Drybar Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron

Savings: $120

While high-end haircare appliances tend to be in high demand, they also tend to be on the pricier side of the spectrum. But during a recent visit to their local Ross Dress for Less, TikTok user @prettylittlepricetag came across an impressive find: A Drybar Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron.

They’re immediately impressed by the fact that it’s from Drybar, and note the $79.99 price tag. In this case, it’s impressive on the savings side, too. That’s because the same product retails for $199 (or $120 more) on the Sephora website.

5. Nike Graphic Cardigan

Savings: $96

It’s not just beauty and skincare products that are coming up as deals at Ross Dress for Less, either. TikTok shopping influencer @treasure_finds_4u showcased a recent find among the racks in a recently posted video, where a stylish women’s Nike graphic cardigan was selling for just $24.99.

In her caption, she even called the find a “steal of a deal.” Why? Because on Amazon, the same exact piece sells for $120.74—or roughly $96 more than in the store!
