Sunday Shop: Late to the Party—My Holiday Shopping Cart

Morgan Hines seeks out the best in not only food and drink but style, housewares, and more. Welcome to Appetito’s Sunday Shop!

7:57 PM EST on December 14, 2025

I’ve spent the last four weeks on-the-go between conferences, Thanksgiving and a trip to Paris. During any downtime my browsing for gifts and holiday wardrobe pieces has been incessant. But I’ve not actually ordered much yet for the holidays.

I assume I might not be alone in that late-to-the-holiday-shopping party. So, with that in mind, and with limited time to order, consider this a holiday shopping cart dump. 

I am curating this week’s Sunday Shop in a new format—one that will give me space to share a selection of what I’ve been browsing (and loving, at least enough to add to cart) this holiday season. Prices and purposes range. The below will be formatted as a categorized, bulleted list of links due to the amount I am including. 

I’ll sort by holiday wardrobe choices for him and for her, stocking stuffers and gifts for her and gifts for him. In truth, this list could be longer—but this will serve as a taste of what I’m shopping for this season.

I’m Morgan Hines, Appetito’s food and style writer. I have experience covering travel, fashion, food, entertainment, lifestyle, health and fitness, and more.

I keep my finger on the pulse of what’s fresh, trending, and classically stylish, working to incorporate those elements into my daily life. Now, through Appetito’s Sunday Shop, I’m ready to share those insights with you.

This is meant to be a casual, quick look, but I’m always happy to expand on inclusions. Feel free to email morgan@morganhines.com if you want more details on any products, restaurants, or experiences—maybe I’ll even write a follow-up piece.

Cheers,

Morgan
