Happy December! Are you getting excited for the holidays? Here’s the full Cup of Jo 2025 gift guide, except for the hard-to-shop-for guide, which is coming up tomorrow. Meanwhile, if you’re doing some shopping for yourself or others, we’re happy to share seven excellent sales today…

Get 50% off at J.Crew. I’d love to give my mom and aunts these pajamas.

Get 40% off at Banana Republic. They have great sweaters, especially this very chic cardigan and lightweight V-neck.

Get 40% off, plus free shipping, at Madewell. I’d wear this polo every day.

Nordstrom is offering 60% off select styles. Even the magical Westman Atelier makeup is on sale. (A CoJ reader once said she threw away her other blushes once she discovered this brand.)

As for independent stores, Little King — a very cool design shop in Beacon, New York — is offering up to 25% off. Perhaps a little treat for sushi fans?

Mr. Boddington — with stationery, desk supplies, and books that feel right out of The Royal Tenenbaums — is offering a free bag, if you spend more than $75.

And Lewis — the sweetest nursery and children’s brand — is offering 25% off with code CHEER25. They’re my go-to for baby gifts.

Since I’m always curious what people actually buy, I treated myself to touchscreen gloves for the winter and got this dreamy set for my sister. How about you? Who’s on your list this year? xoxo
