We know: Every year, it seems like the twinkle lights go up a bit earlier. And with holiday chaos about to ensue, you might want to put it all off. Instead, make that jump-start work in your favor. Prep a little now to maintain sanity in the face of eleventh-hour cookie swaps. Read our plan-ahead tips – like shopping guest room bedding and gifts from W Hotels The Store – and reap the rewards later.
Now: Stock up on snuggly. Faux-sable throws, beyond-cozy robes, billowy blankets – it’s Hibernation 101.
Later: The real reason to love sledding? Post-slopes cocoa by the fire. Layers of warmth take it up a notch.
Now: Two words: Better. Bedding. Think everything from plush-top mattresses to down pillows. Ready for your best sleep ever?
Later: Rise early to beat the mall traffic. Make a bagel run for your guests. A refreshing night means you can own the day.
Now: Get gifting! Bliss Bath + Body products and W Candles ensure big smiles. Pro tip: Don’t forget a little something for yourself.
Later: You’ve wrapped, now recharge. That spa-worthy set you snagged? Totally energizing. Go get ʼem, winter warrior.
