Best Under $100 Buys R29 Editors Tried In December 2024

We may be thinking forward to a new year, but not without reflecting on the best things we bought in the final month of 2024. Our team of savvy editors dedicated to dutifully spilling their order histories for your shopping enjoyment found new cozy essentials like the perfect hoodie for doing nothing, a nourishing drugstore eye cream for dry winter skin, meal-prepping kitchen gizmos, and much more life-upgraders that’ll serve you well in January and beyond. December also meant travel, parties, and, naturally, wrapping up any loose ends before taking a well-earned break from work for lots of folks — as such, our picks include journals, mistletoe kiss-proof lipsticks, and lots of other fun bits and bobs in between. The best part: Everything clocks in at $100 or less.
