The Best Thing We Bought This Year

| photography by andie furber |

We buy a lot of things. Some we love for a week, some we probably could have lived without, and a very select few earn the title of "best thing I bought all year."

You know the ones—the things you recommend to everyone, use constantly, or wonder how you ever lived without.

So for this month’s Shop Gal Guide, we asked the team one simple question: What’s the best thing you bought this year?

From the practical to the purely joyful, these are the purchases we’d make all over again.

Laurie

"A Noguchi light sculpture."

Sepi

"Le Bon Shoppe Balloon Pants are the best postpartum gift I bought myself."

Andie

"My OURA ring. I never take it off."

Anna

"A Nuuly subscription to get some good variety of maternity clothes."

Michele

"This tote."

Erin

"Flamingo soap for every room of my house."

India

"Jimmy Fairly sunglasses."

Paulina

"Harry Styles tickets."
