At Thanksgiving, I think about everything and everyone I have to be grateful for in my life…and, of course, I begin the insane journey of picking out the perfect presents for all the people I love most. But on Cyber Monday, I always make sure to squeeze in a little “treat yo’ self” shopping time for me, too.

One cannot expect Santa to handle everything, after all.

To offset the guilt (more on that here!), I reserve my “me” purchases for the new high holiday of shopping: Cyber Monday. Luckily, we no longer live in a time when you have to wake up before the crack of dawn to land deals on Black Friday (thank you internet!). However, planning is still key.

So, treat yourself to a Cyber Monday splurge!

Not sure what to give that special someone in the mirror this year? No worries, we’ve got some ideas…

Shop this ‘Cyber Monday Treat Yo Self’ list:

1. Something Soft.

Chilly days mean one thing: it’s time to break out the cashmere.

And cozy slippers.

And fuzzy socks.

Oh, and maybe steal your nephew’s security blanket, the one he drags around on the floor all day but also makes the best pillow when you’re ready to take a nap.

You get where I’m going with this. On Cyber Monday, it’s time to embrace the soft side of life..and I’m not just talking about your post-holiday weekend, pie-filled belly.

2. Something Striped.

There’s just something so wonderfully winter-y about stripes.

From sweaters to scarves to throw blankets for your couch, stripes make everything feel more…cozy (are you detecting a theme here?).

3. Something Smart.

I’m sure you guys already have the smart home thing figured out, but I’m just getting in on the fun.

Someone opened the garage door? Let me check who it is on my phone! Need to know the recipe for vegan stuffing? Hey Google, get on it!

4. Something scented.

Not all of us are lucky enough to have a fireplace of our very own. So it’s time to treat yourself to the scent of a crackling fire in the air.

From incense (which is totally back! have you heard?) to candles perfect for cold weather, this year treat yo self to something scented on Cyber Monday.

5. Something seasonless.

Yes, it’s time to finally pull the trigger on those Steve McQueen-cool sunglasses you’ve always wanted, because the squint-inducing sun is still merry and bright during the day, even in December.
