Lifestyle & Wellbeing Favorites For December

Skip navigation!

Begin Slideshow

At least once a week, the writers and editors on Refinery29's Life team get into a long Slack conversation about some cool new item that's been absolutely saving or changing or elevating our lives. So we decided to share the wealth, and highlight some of our favorite products and experiences each month.

This month we're excited about an extra large duffle bag in the most beautiful wine color, an unbelievably sexy pan, and the best running app money can buy. Ahead, you'll find our editor's picks for the month of December (and just in time for the holidays!).

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
