If holiday-shopping fatigue has hit you, join the club. At Who What Wear, we've been scouring the internet to make gift shopping a breeze (have you seen our gifting concierge yet?), and naturally, we've been keeping you updated about our favorite gifts this season. But today, I'm calling a quick time-out on holiday shopping and shifting focus to all the random things we've discovered along the way that we fancy for ourselves.
This December, our editors have more than a few items in mind, including quilted coats, pasta makers, and lip serums, all of which can be found at Macy's. These pieces may be random, but they're also very necessary during a time when it's easy to forget to treat yourself. If you're ready to take a break from gift shopping, keep reading to see everything our editors are currently eyeing.

Anna LaPlaca has good taste and isn't shying away from jolts of color this month. Here are the fashion, beauty, and home pieces she's picked.
