“Now that I’ve experienced these socks, it’s hard to go back to anything else” |
 |
| Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter |
Well, readers, we’ve made it to the end of our annual gift of the day countdown. And what, may you ask, is our final can’t-go-wrong offering of this holiday season? These incredibly luxe, made-in-Italy socks.
They’re knit from exceptionally soft, warm, and pill-resistant cashmere. They’re subtly distinctive, too, thanks to a branded tab that makes them instantly recognizable to other sock snobs.

One last (cozy) thing: “Bury me in this Spanx sweatsuit” |
 |
| NYT Wirecutter |
“Don’t let the Spanx DNA scare you,” says editor Ingela Ratledge Amundson. “There’s no shapewear sorcery lurking in these sweats.” Instead, the sweatsuit has a delightfully comfortable squish and feels buttery soft against the skin.
And it’s — dare we say it — even a bit dressy. Ingela calls her sweats “dignified, fully realized lady outfits that demand to be paraded from sofa to supermarket to soccer game.” Nice.
