Amid all the Cyber Monday sales, gift season frenzy, and new holiday collection drops, the shopping landscape may feel like an avalanche of too many new and shiny things to cart up. But we’re briefly plowing back all of that to shine a light on H&M’s latest (and coveted) collaboration. This time, the reader-favorite retailer has teamed up with luxury ski and lifestyle brand Perfect Moment on an après-ski-inspired winter collection.
“Après-ski has always had a certain energy: relaxed, comfortable, social, playful, and glamourous,” said Perfect Moment co-founder and creative director Jane Gottschalk, in a press release. “Together [with H&M], we’ve curated a collection that brings the spirit of both brands to life. The pieces are young, fun, [and] sporty, with a winter heartbeat and a nod to the mountains, but belong just as much in the city.”
The 28-piece capsule collection spans versatile knitwear, down-filled outerwear, and statement accessories — like cozy hats and puffer boots — in a chic winter color palette of black, white, silver, rich burgundy, and icy blue.
“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Perfect Moment on this winter collection — it’s unexpected, dynamic, and sure to spark excitement,” said H&M creative advisor and head of womenswear design, Ann-Sofie Johansson, in the release. “The silhouettes are glamorous yet laid-back — just like après-ski — but also have a real edge with the leather, faux fur, and textured knits.”
From down puffer jackets, mohair gloves, knit balaclavas, and polarized sunglasses you might actually wear on the slopes to matching sets, merino-wool sweaters, faux-fur boots, and trapper hats you’d wear around a ski lodge (or to simply channel après-ski energy), the collection has a range of functional and fashionable pieces.
And in addition to oversized hoods, waist-cinching toggles, jacquard trims, and pom-poms, Perfect Moment’s signature North Star logo is dotted across all the styles. “The North Star sits at the heart of the brand and part of our DNA — a constant from the inception of the brand in the 80s,” said Gottschalk. “It represents direction, focus, and the idea of finding your own way […] a reminder of where we started and where we’re heading.”
So whether you’re heading to the bunny slopes or your local café for hot chocolate, H&M’s newest collection with Perfect Moment is on its way to dress you up this winter season.

If there’s one thing we can count on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers for, it’s a hyper-specific pop culture reference. For the last decade, the comedic duo have mined the deepest corners of queer cultural zeitgeist on their podcast Las Culturistas, which snagged iHeartRadio’s Podcast Of The Year Award in 2023. This holiday season, their new Marshalls campaign — It’s Giving Gifts! — channels their encyclopedic archive of niche archetypes into the highest form of holiday-season community service: helping shoppers find the perfect present for every type of person in their lives.
“Saying that you love Marshalls is like ordering Diet Coke for the table,” Yang tells Refinery29 while we chat in-store at Marshalls in Manhattan. “You empower other people to say something they thought was buried: ‘Oh, wait, I’ve always loved Marshalls too.’”
Below, Yang and Rogers share their best tips for picking the perfect gift, their most formative holiday memories, and the greatest presents they’ve ever given — and received.
Let’s talk about my personal favorite gift-guide archetype — gifts for “the cool girl who is always late and makes punctuality seem kind of embarrassing.” To reference the recurring segment on your podcast — what are the cultural moments that made this cool girl who she is today?
Bowen Yang: We all know this girl. We might even be this girl. This girl saw Mean Girls in theaters at least 5 times in 2004. She really imprinted on — not Romy and Michelle — but she identified with their bullies. Maybe [they identify] with Janeane Garofalo ’cause they like a quick-smoke cigarette because they have places to be and they are always late to those places.
Matt Rogers: I would say it’s that girl from high school who you’re like: “You learned the wrong thing from Regina George.” But… she looked good.
There’s so many cute purses and shoes in the “cool girl” gift guide. Where is the cool girl wearing these accessories while out and about in Manhattan?
Yang: She’s taking this to Balthazar, Carbone, the Whitney, the Circle Line Cruise so she can swing around [her purse] while the DJ plays a song on a boat.
Rogers: She’s going to take this to Zero Bond. She’s going to walk past Taylor Swift, and Taylor’s gonna go: “So sorry, where did you get that bag?” She’ll say: “Marshalls.” And she’s going to wink at Taylor, and Taylor’s gonna be like: “Travis, we gotta go. Let’s get to Marshalls.”
Be honest, did you have any specific friends in mind when creating the “cool girl”” gift guide?
Yang: I would say our friend Greta [Gerwig] — who we love. Greta is giving both Sabrina Carpenter and early aughts SJP, plus the dad’s girlfriend from The Parent Trap.
Rogers: Yeah. Any stepmother from any movie where the stepmother comes in and is like: “It’s off to boarding school with you.” But we love that stepmother. We aspire to be her.
For the person who just can’t decide on a gift — what picks from your gift guides do you think are the most universal crowd-pleasers?
Yang: Silk pajamas, skincare… this bag is a star. This bag has been with us the entire campaign. And I will never forget about her — she’s high impact.
Rogers: And you really can’t go wrong with a candle.
You’re clearly both great gift-givers — but what about receiving? Was there a childhood gift that genuinely shaped who you are today
Rogers: This was the year that PlayStation 2 came out. I was a video game kid — Bowen Yang still is — and I really wanted that PS2. And they were like: “You’re not getting it. It’s too expensive and no one can get it.” And then on Christmas day, I kept opening up PS2 games, and I was like: “Well, I guess you got me the games for one day when I get the system, right?” They were like: “Exactly, one day when you get the system.” Low and behold, the last gift hiding under the couch was the PS2, and I was a very happy boy.
Yang: Mine was after Batman Forever came out. I had a Batgirl, Alicia Silverstone action figure — that really spoke to me and has since.
What’s the most unexpected place you’ve ever spent the holidays?
Yang: Someone in my family recently pitched, out of nowhere: “What about Scottsdale this Christmas?” I said: “What about it? We don’t know anybody there.” No shade to Scottsdale it’s just like… why would we go there?
Rogers: I will be doing a Tampa Christmas because my parents snowbird down there. People who know me are like: “Matt Rogers, Florida for Christmas, checks out.”
What are your favorite types of gifts to give?
Yang: Candles are a go-to. I think we’re finally, as a culture, coming out of the stigma around candles as gifts. For a while there, it was like: “Oh, you got a candle? How impersonal.” No. No one’s gonna turn down a candle.
Rogers: I really hit the jackpot one year when I realized that I could get bespoke drink coasters and customize them for my friends. So I got coasters with different pop stars on them and I gave them to all my friends for the pop star that they stan. And I do think that was my best idea and now I have to think of something else creative.
This holiday season, we’ve found the gifts that feel great to get and even better to give. Shop our collection of editor-approved holiday gift guides here.
We all have those people in our lives — the ones who say they don't want anything for the holidays — whether they feel like they already have everything they could need or simply don’t like the attention that comes with gift-receiving. But, come gift-giving season, those same people are inevitably handing you a meticulously wrapped, thoughtful present… and you don't really want to be empty-handed in that moment. What, then, makes a good gift for the hard-to-please person?
Whether you want to go down the route of practical gifts that they’ll definitely use on a daily basis or little luxuries that they’re totally deserving of, we curated a range of thoughtful gifts for your mom, best friend, grandmother, or any other special woman in your life worth buying.
If they already have their go-to wardrobe essentials, look to upgraded versions of those — think cashmere wraps, sunglasses clip ons, black diamond hoop earrings, and patterned pajama sets. For the homebody, consider a towel warmer, red-light therapy panel, luxe laundry detergent set, or. And we didn’t forget about the foodies and dinner party hosts, making sure to include cookbooks, bread ovens, non-alcoholic drink sets, and artisanal olive oil. So no matter your giftee’s style or interests, there’s a range of thoughtful beauty, lifestyle, entertainment, wellness, and fashion presents ready to be carted up for them.

Warby Parker Hayden Eyeglasses & Sun Clip Ons
These brilliant polarized clip-ons can quickly transform eyeglasses into sunglasses. Choose the lens shape you think best resembles your giftee’s favorite pair, or consider buying them a pair of Warby Parker eyeglasses too for a well-rounded gift and perfect fit.
Warby Parker Hayden Clip-On, $, available at Warby Parker
Miko Nest Towel Warmer with Aromatherapy
Upgrade something as simple as stepping out of the shower with a towel warmer for a not-so-expensive, spa-like environment. This bin can fit multiple towels or robes at a time, has adjustable timer and temperature settings, and releases a calming scent.
Miko Nest Towel Warmer 23L Capacity with Aromatherapy, $, available at Nordstrom
Brightland The Golden Hour Gift Set
Honestly, all I really want for the holidays is to be gifted artisanal olive oils that I don’t have to pay for myself. Brightland offers several gift sets, like this Golden Hour kit curated with EVOO, champagne vinegar, and orange blossom honey to elevate a host of soups, salads, charcuterie boards, and more.
Brightland The Golden Hour Gift Set, $, available at Brightland
Solar Eclipse Hand-Painted Gua Sha Treatment Hair Comb
As stunning as it is multi-functional, this gua sha comb massages and stimulates the scalp to promote blood circulation and encourage hair growth.

Solar Eclipse Hand-Painted Gua Sha Treatment Hair Comb, $, available at Free People
Staud x C.Bonz Custom Endurance Sweatshirt
Any pet parent would appreciate a gift that commemorates their furry friend. And Staud’s pet collection is a one-stop shop for chic button-down tops, denim jackets, leather handbags, and blankets that can be customized with stunning pet portraits. We think this cozy sweatshirt is bound to become your giftee’s go-to winter style.
Staud x C.Bonz Custom Endurance Sweatshirt, $, available at Staud
Angara Black Diamond Hinged Hoop Earrings
She likely already has tons of initial and birthstone jewelry pieces, so go beyond these typical personalized gift options, and instead opt for an elevated, unexpected style. We’re thinking not-so-common black diamonds, which are dramatic, sophisticated, and contemporary.
Angara Airline-Set Enhanced Black Diamond Hinged Hoop Earrings, $, available at Angara
AXV Vibration Plate
Vibration plates are all over my feed, and I’m convinced that I need one to help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, activate muscles, and burn calories. It may just become the new go-to step to your giftee’s morning routine or post-workout stretch that they didn’t know they needed.
She may not want anything, but we promise that she won’t turn down Prada lip balms. Because who doesn’t want to elevate their everyday skincare ritual? This under-$50 luxury gift includes a color-enhancing formula and a matte finish formula, bundled in a chic holiday gift box.
Prada Beauty Mini Hydrating Lip Balm Holiday Gift Set, $, available at Sephora
Ugg UGGguard 2.0
Okay, maybe your giftee doesn’t need another pair of Ugg boots, but she does need these soft rubber galoshes (aka boot protectors) to help protect her suede shoes from harsh winter weather. This gift is just as unexpected as it is practical and thoughtful.
I personally love Heaven Mayhem’s jewelry boxes that are disguised as funky hardcover books after being gifted them last year. But I think I’ll be requesting this chic, crocodile-effect laptop case this year for another practical design that keeps me organized while staying stylish.
Heaven Mayhem Laptop Sleeve, $, available at Heaven Mayhem
Nori The Nori Press
The woman who’s constantly traveling for work trips or vacations will appreciate this top-rated portable iron. The compact design — which comes in several cheerful colorways — quickly presses, steams, and irons six different fabric types, making it a practical, must-pack item.
Whether she’s someone who lazily reaches for mismatched separates… or she treats her bedtime routine like a fashion show, we promise that she doesn’t own anything like Damson Madder’s popular pajama sets. Consider going all out on this whimsical leopard print design for a twist.
Damson Madder Felice PJ Set, $, available at Damson Madder
Le Creuset Bread Oven
Perhaps your giftee already owns a Le Creuset Dutch oven. But we doubt she has a bread oven to help upgrade her Sourdough bread journey. The cast iron base helps produce a crispy crust and the dome-shaped lid circulates steam for maximum dough rise — what more could you ask for?
Breathe People Deluxe Meditative Art Air Dry Clay Kit
Give the gift of meditation with a hands-on activity like clay building (which will feel like a hobby while also serving as a calming wellness practice). This kit from Etsy not only comes with clay, carving tools, and paint, but also a link to recorded guided meditations and journaling prompts.
Breathe People Deluxe Meditative Art Air Dry Clay Kit, $, available at Etsy
Fossil Raquel Watch Ring
Watch rings are so unique, and they’re trending again, so get ahead of the frenzy and scoop up one of Fossil’s viral styles before they sell out. The best part? They have a flexible band so you don’t need to sneakily creep for your giftee’s ring size, and can ensure it’ll fit them no matter what.

Pair it with a new AirTag for an extra thoughtful touch.
Maison de Sabré The Sabremoji Fruit Charm, $, available at Nordstrom
Ghia Cocktail Box with Original Apéritif
If your giftee doesn’t drink alcohol, a tried-and-true bottle of wine won’t do. Instead, consider Ghia’s non-alcoholic apéritif in a gift box complete with a thoughtfully-designed pour spout, short-stemmed glass (of your color choosing), cocktail picks, and coasters.
Ghia Cocktail Box with Original Apéritif, $, available at Ghia
Jenny Bird The Fold Up Jewelry Case
I never travel without a fold-up jewelry case because it effectively protects my jewelry from being crushed or tangled in transit.

Plus, the handy handle can hook on doors when there's simply not enough hotel room shelving space.

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Ribbed Wrap
Known for its luxe and budget-friendly cashmere, Quince needs to be on your radar when shopping for the woman who has everything. While we constantly rally for the $50 cashmere sweaters, we’re thinking out of the box for your hard-to-shop-for giftee with this chic and versatile cashmere wrap.

The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook
In 2025, Meredith Hayden (aka @wishbonekitchen) turned her viral TikTok private cheffing videos into a curated cookbook of 20-minute meals and dinner party dishes and drinks.

BestQool Red Light Therapy LED Panel
A red light infrared panel is especially perfect for the winter,when the sun goes down sooner and we’re hibernating more. In addition to helping increase cellular energy and boosting antioxidant defenses, red light can also improve blood flow and reduce stress, among many other benefits. We recommend a panel over a face mask because you can use the light all over your body for a spa-like experience.
BestQool Red Light Therapy LED Panel, $, available at Amazon

For the avid cook on your list, this chef-approved press — which comes in several aesthetically pleasing colors — will have them giving up pre-made tortillas for good. And scoring you plenty of dinner invites (with homemade tortillas) in the new year.

I would actually be excited to receive this photo-worthy laundry set from Dedcool.

Sweater
For the giftee for whom Cole Escola's Oh, Mary! became their whole personality in 2024, a holiday sweater they will actually want to wear.
I've shed plenty of tears over suitcase makeup and skincare spills that have ruined my clothes in transit. None though since I've begun to use this cosmetics bag from the luggage brand Tumi. It's not the cheapest option on the market, but the quality is incredible with a foldable design, four different compartments (that housed my full-size skincare products when I spent three weeks in Europe during Fashion Month), and a hook that can be affixed to a hotel bathroom door or towel rack. Frequent travelers will appreciate this one.
