What Eater’s Editor in Chief Is Buying for the Holidays This Year

I take shopping during the holiday season very seriously. Months ahead, I make lists of things I have my eye on in case they go on sale over the big Black Friday weekend, and as I shop, I track how much I’m spending, especially compared to previous years, to make sure I haven’t gone (too much) overboard.

What I’m less great about is shopping for others: I tend to be extremely strategic about saving money on things I’m buying myself, and then in mid-December, remember that I need to shop for others and then buy a bunch more stuff, full price be damned. Luckily, you still have some time before you have to pay for rush shipping so everything arrives before Christmas. Below are the items that have caught my eye this year.
