Old Navy is an excellent store for inexpensive essentials, including cold-weather accessories and coats, as well as swimsuits and flip-flops. However, not all items at the cheap-and-chic store are as well-made as others. A handful hold up better than the rest, and people buy them repeatedly. What should you shop for on your next trip? Here are 7 Old Navy winter basics shoppers say hold up.

1
SoSoft Sweaters

SoSoft Cropped Cardigan Sweater

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.

The Dynamic Fleece Line

Dynamic Fleece Half-Zip Sweatshirt

Don’t sleep on the fleece items at Old Navy. “Their dynamic fleece line is also incredible – easily had held up to 30-40 washes with no pilling and holding the shape well,” one Redditor maintains. One of the bestsellers is this Dynamic Fleece Half-Zip Sweatshirt, which comes with a matching pair of pants.

3
The Taylor Work Trousers

Extra High-Waisted Taylor Wide-Leg Trouser Pants

Looking for dress pants? “The Taylor work trousers hold up well. The sizing on them is.. specific (they don’t look nice if you’re between sizes). But I would recommend them if you can get a good fit,” one explains. They come in various styles and colors, including this pair of Extra High-Waisted Taylor Wide-Leg Trouser Pants.

4
The Denim, Including WOW Flare Jeans

High-Waisted Wow Flare Jeans

Lots of shoppers swear by Old Navy denim. “I think their WOW Flare Jeans are pretty wonderful,” says a shopper. “I love their wow flare jeans!” another agrees. Lots of people swear they fit and look better than designer denim.

5
All the Exercise Clothes

High-Waisted SleekTech Joggers

Lots of shoppers recommend the workout clothes. “Cosign the sleektech pants are amazing,” one says. They come in lots of different colors and styles. The High-Waisted SleekTech Joggers are a universally figure-flattering option.

6
T-Shirts

Vintage Crew-Neck T-Shirt

You can’t go wrong with Old Navy t-shirts. The “vintage tees especially are great,” a shopper says. “Their tshirts have been a stable of my wardrobe for forever. I find their quality excellent for the price,” another says. During the colder months, the Vintage Crew-Neck T-Shirt is a bestseller.

7
And, All the Jackets

Slim Fit Double Breasted Peacoat

And, all of the jackets are winners. “I am a big fan of Old Navy overall. I find it’s important to know what kind of item you’re looking for,” someone wrote, noting that some :standout successes” include “two rain jackets that I wear all the time, two light jackets that I wear all the time, and winter peacoats.” This men’s peacoat is on sale for $40.

Stuffed Animals

Bass Pro Shops Giant Stuffed Bluegill for Kids

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. So, you could imagine my elation when after all this time when he’s old and falling apart I find they still sell the exact same pillow! Excellent as a body pillow for support when sleeping, as bright and colorful as I remember!” writes one.

4
A Fishing Game

Melissa & Doug Catch and Count Fishing Game Play Set

Considering Bass Pro Shops is a fishing-inspired store, it should come as zero surprise that one of the best-selling games is the Melissa & Doug Catch and Count Fishing Game Play Set, $32.99. Shoppers love the high-quality, as the set is made from wood. “My new grandson is 2 and he loves this toy. It helps him with learning to use his hands it requires some skill.

4
Dubai Chocolate

Dollar Tree is the latest store to hop on the Dubai chocolate bandwagon. “POV: You just found out “luxury chocolate” doesn’t have to come with a luxury price. 🤯 Dollar Tree’s Dubai-style Milk Chocolate Bar = creamy, crunchy, pistachio perfection,” writes the store in a post. “My fave,” commented a shopper. “They’re delicious,” another agreed.

5
These Viral Lanterns

Dollar Tree Christmas decorations are lit this year, with one lantern going seriously viral. “Make the seasons bright… literally. Chic, cozy, and totally Instagram-ready. These lanterns are a must-have. ☺ Snatch one up from our stores!” the store wrote in a post about the hard to find decorations.

Looking for a fun accessory to transform your regular clothes in festive attire? “Wear this and suddenly you’re the main character at every holiday party. 💖🎉 Warning: Elves may ask where you got your outfit. 😉🎄,” the store captioned a photo of a popular sequin tie serving up some serious holiday aesthetic.

However, it also sells a wide range of home items at low prices, including cozy blankets, organizing must-haves, and kitchen gadgets. What is on major sale this week?

I basically live in lounge sets and sweatsuits. As a work-from-home mom, constantly running errands and shuttling kids from playdates to sporting events, I have to be comfortable while looking relatively put together. Having matching outfits is essential, as I can just throw on clothes and get through my day. There are lots of affordable outfit options at Target and Walmart.

The post 7 Best Last-Minute Teacher Gifts, According to Teachers appeared first on Best Life.

If you are like me, you are so slammed during the holiday season that you leave teachers’ gifts to the last minute. Don’t fret. Whether you have one or 20 teachers on your gift list, we have you covered. Not only am I a shopping expert, but I also have close relationships with many teachers and have extensively discussed the gift-giving season with them. What is it that they actually want, and also don’t want? Here are the 7 best last-minute teacher gifts, according to teachers.,

1
Amazon, Target, and Walmart Gift Cards

Amazon Holiday Gift Card

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.

2
Dunkin’ or Starbucks Gift Cards

Starbucks Holiday Gift Card

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.

3
A Gift Certificate to a Wine, Beer, or Liquor Store

Total Wine Holiday Gift Card

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.

4
Restaurant Gift Cards

Door Dash Holiday Gift Card

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.

5
A Digital Frame

Carver Stone Digital Picture Frame

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.

6
Mild Scented Products

Pure Goat Milk Bodycare Discovery Kit

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.

7
Hand Cream Sets

L'Occitane Hand Cream Favorites Collection

“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.

I love REI. While you might think you can only buy gifts for avid outdoors enthusiasts, there is actually something for everyone at the activity-inspired store. From athleisure to name-brand water and drink bottles to cold-weather essentials, there are many last-minute gift ideas. Here are 6 REI finds shoppers buy when they need a good gift fast.

1
A Vuori Hoodie

Vuori Halo Performance Hoodie 2.0

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.

2
OOFOS Slide Sandals

OOFOS Slide Sandals

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.

Hoka Shoes

HOKA Transport Shoes

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.

4
The North Face Waist Pack

YETI Rambler Travel Mug - 20 fl. oz

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!”

5
A YETI Mug

YETI Rambler Travel Mug - 20 fl. oz

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.”

6
Food Gifts

Tony's Chocolonely Chocolate Bars Rainbow Tasting Pack Package of 6

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.

Hobby Lobby certainly has no shortage of decorations. From everyday items to seasonal finds, Hobby Lobby has quite the selection. Whether you’re looking for plants and art, or furniture and lamps, Hobby Lobby has quite the selection. I spoke with Colleen Bennett, the Founder and Principal Designer at CBB Design Firm, to get her expert opinion on what shoppers should keep an eye out for while at Hobby Lobby looking for home decor items.

1
Decorative Plants

Eucalyptus & Basswood Bush

Decorative plants add greenery and fill in empty space that needs some love throughout your house. “Plants provide life and energy to any space they are added to,” Bennett said. “Faux plants have become a great way to keep your space lively without worrying about plant care. Hobby Lobby has great finds that are comparable to the faux plants [of] higher end brands.”

2
Rustic Vase

White Distressed Vase

A rustic vase adds texture and depth. “Rustic, old school style vases have been a staple piece in high end homes for centuries,” Bennett said. “This vase takes that inspiration and gives it back at an affordable price. Combined with the faux plant selections these vases can accent into space.”

3
Vintage Style Artwork

Vintage Castle Canvas Wall Decor

While decorating, vintage style artwork can add so much to a wall in need of soft weathered color and character. “Finding the perfect art piece can be expensive and time consuming,” Bennett said. “Hobby Lobby has some great pieces that emulate [classic] styles at a much lower price.”

4
Black Floating Frames

Black Floating Frame

Black floating frames are moody, yet simple. An ideal way to decorate your walls with art and photos according to Colleen Bennett. “A solid choice for a gallery wall or minimalist display grouping; black framing stays crisp and modern,” Bennett said.

5
Gold Accent Mirrors

Gold Round Wall Mirror

Adding gold accent mirrors to your home keeps things looking classic, but special. “Gold has been a staple accent color for the past few years and we have implemented it into many of our client’s homes,” Bennett said. “Hobby Lobby has great picks like this round gold mirror to add a decorative pop of color to your space.”

6
Entryway Furniture

Black Medallion Antique Wood Console Table With Storage

Add some entryway furniture to spruce up your home, add storage, and act as a landing for keys or mail. “Console tables serve as a pivotal part of an entryway in any home,” Bennett said. “This vintage inspired console table can be dressed up or down to fit any home from modern or farmhouse.”

7
Ceramic Table Lamp

A ceramic table lamp is a great way to add a subtle touch of structure and soft lighting to a corner of the home that can use a little something more. “This table lamp is a staple piece that can be used in any space from living room to bedroom,” Bennett said. “We even have this exact lamp in our showroom and it fits in any place we stage it in!”
