Things We’d Buy Again (and Again): Our Favorite Finds of 2025
theCityMoms use affiliate links to support our staff and work, but our opinion is never influenced. We only share items we use and love.
Let’s clear something up: shopping for yourself during the holidays isn’t selfish - it’s practical. Strategic, even.
You know what you’ll actually wear, the slippers that won’t fall apart, the beauty products you’ll use, and the jacket you reach for on repeat. So consider this your permission slip - from your virtual besties (hey that’s us!) - to add a few things to your list, too. These are theCityMoms’ Favorite Things of 2025: Things we’d unwrap ourselves, gift to a best friend, or send as a “just in case you’re wondering” link.
And if you want to see all of our top picks for 2025 in a shoppable grid form, peek our full ShopMy collection here!
Here are Our Favorite Finds of 2025:
The “Instant Upgrade” Accessories
Aka little things with big main-character energy.
COACH Juliet Shoulder Bag 25
Why we love it: It’s classic, structured, and polished without trying too hard. This is the bag we’ve been grabbing when we want to feel pulled together in under 15 seconds. Buy here.
Anthropologie Party Bag Charm
Why we love it: Playful and somehow makes every bag feel more fun. We’re calling it purse jewelry - and yes, it counts as a need. Buy here.
Abbode Custom Icons Bag
Why we love it: We fell for these after popping into a, well, Abodde pop-up in Dallas this Fall. This crocodile pouch is perfect for toiletries, makeup, or even (if you dare) kid supplies on the go.
There’s that Coach Juliet Bag (we’ll say it… swoon.)
Cozy, But Make It Elevated
Because comfort doesn’t have to look like you gave up.
BOMBAS Women’s Saturday Slipper
Why we love it: They’re sooooo supportive, soft, and feel (almost) polished enough to answer the door in. Buy here.
Free People’s Hot Shot Onesie
Why we love it: Because it’s equal parts “I’m comfy” and “I look intentional.” We love throwing it on over a bodysuit, adding sneakers, and we’re done. Buy here.
ALO Sherpa Edge Bomber Jacket
Why we love it: This is the layer we’ve reached for constantly this year from school pickups to weekend errands. Buy here.
