What We're Shopping For In November 2025

November is that funny in-between month—half cozy nesting, half chaotic holiday prep. The days are shorter, but the to-do lists are longer. Looking for great gifts? Check out our 2025 holiday toy guide or keep reading for a mix of ideas for kids, adults and yourself.

As always, while we genuinely love everything we recommend, a few of these items were gifted.

Cozey washable rugs

Real talk: rugs and kids rarely mix, especially in a family room where chips and pizza are consumed. I had the chance to review a Cozey couch (spoiler: we love it), so I was curious to try one of their washable rugs. Ours is white with a green leaf pattern, and while I haven't pulled it up and put it in the wash yet, I have spot-cleaned it. With only water and dish soap, chocolate, tomato sauce, and dirt have all come off easily.

Cozey rug systems include foam pads and a thin, washable rug that stretches over the pads. It's not only convenient for stains but the foam makes it baby and toddler-friendly, adding a bit of cushioning.

Blossera belly oil

Created by Canadian founder Tiffany Park, Blossera was born out of frustration with the lack of truly safe, transparent options in pregnancy care. Guided by OB-GYNs, naturopathic doctors and midwives—and shaped by feedback from over 100 moms—Blossera’s first product, a silky belly oil, delivers deep hydration and skin elasticity without any mystery ingredients.

Kimmon collectibles

Is Kimmon the next Labubu? Kimmon’s collectible figures mix toy-art vibes with mystery-box excitement—each character cuter and weirder than the last. Expect these little creatures to quietly take over stockings, desks and play shelves everywhere.

Reebok Club C 85 sneakers

Classic sneakers are a great gift option for the picky tween or teen on your list. The Reebok Club C 85s are minimalist, timeless and sturdy enough for school days, skate parks and everything in between.

Barbie x NBA

For decades, Barbie has inspired girls to dream big—and now she’s suiting up. The new Barbie x WNBA collection celebrates the power, resilience and ambition of women athletes everywhere, exclusively at Walmart. Each piece—think joggers, hoodies, tees and pyjamas—features bold hits of Barbie pink, WNBA orange and black, along with meaningful numbers: 59 for Barbie’s founding year and 96 for the WNBA’s.

Blundstone Women's Series #2365 High Heel

You probably know Australian brand Blundstone for its super comfy, all-season boots, perfect for long walks, gardening and wearing with your favourite jeans. I had no idea the brand also made heels—and cute ones. At three inches, these heels are shockingly comfortable and offer the same ruggedness as the rest of the boots. As the website says, "Stable enough for the barn and pretty enough for the dance."

Books for big kids

Wrapping gifts and filling stockings gets trickier as kids get older, but a good book is always a good idea. These new titles from Penguin Random House are great options for middle school and above. YA novel Dragonborn delivers big fantasy energy (dragons, destiny, all the good stuff), while Robot Island is a fast-paced adventure that’s perfect for tweens. Robot Island follows Willis, a boy who uncovers a forgotten town of 1950s robots and a mystery that changes everything. Both stories are packed with heart, courage and just the right amount of magic.
