Plus, the surprising find she’s snagging for herself.
I don’t know about you, but I’m still scurrying to score last-minute holiday gifts. To ensure I’m treating my loved ones (and myself) to nothing but wow-worthy finds, I’m turning to Hollywood’s favorite It Girls for a little shopping inspiration. That’s why I tapped Gabrielle Union to spill her present recommendations and winter essentials that’ll arrive in time for the holidays.
The 52-year-old Bring It On alumnae and super-mom told me her top six gift picks, which start at just $13. Though “quality time with family is always at the top of [her] wishlist,” Union gave the following finds her holiday stamp of approval. Below, find her holy grail loungewear, must-have self care products, and the most surprising item in her shopping cart.

Knix’s Modal Joggers. “I’ve purged my closet a number of times and these are one of those comfortable staples that I keep in rotation,” she said.
The multihyphenate is also “loving” the brand’s Modal Rib Henley Sleep Set since it’s “perfect to wear around the house and cute enough to wear for a night in with family and friends.” She added it’s “incredibly soft and lightweight,” making it “perfect for gift-giving or treating yourself.” After all, “spending quality time together in pajamas all day” is exactly what her family’s holiday plans are “all about.”

She’s stocking up on her “favorite serum,” BeautyStat’s Triple-Plump Coconut Milk formula, which happens to be half-off right now.

I mean, have you seen Union’s skin?
Speaking of treat-yourself picks, Union is “taking matters into [her] own hands” and buying herself a “real leather football” for the holidays—“everyone thinks I’m joking,” she shared.
