Everything comes at the affordable prices Marshalls is known for.The Cosmo cover star talked with us exclusively, where she shared all things gifting, from how to shop for the person who seemingly has everything to her own personal gifting style. She also dished on her all-time favorite holiday rom-com and the most thoughtful gift her husband has ever given her. And shop her go-to favorites and more personalized holiday picks!What’s your first memory of Marshalls?Oh my gosh, just shopping! Whenever I would go there, my mom wouldn’t want to let go of my hand because I would run around, grab a bunch of things, and say I wasn’t going to leave the store without them. And then there would be a period when my mom wouldn’t take me shopping because she was scared of how much I loved to shop.What's one gift you think almost anyone would love to receive this holiday season?A cozy cashmere sweatsuit. Or always a really good blanket; I think it's such a key gifting item.I agree. You can never go wrong with something cozy!And then people will always think of the person who gave it to them when they use it at home. Good candles are also important!How would you describe your holiday gifting style? Do you go more sentimental or practical or both?I'm sentimental with cards because that always gets me. Personally, I save cards. I'm a hoarder of cards. I always save them because I think one day you can open them again, and they remind you of that moment and that person, which I think is lovely. I will say I tend to go sentimental, and I give people stuff that I would want given to me, too. It's very do unto others, right? So, I think it's a little bit of both: sentimental, but sometimes I can do fun gifts, too.And what do you consider a “fun gift”?Well, I really want to get into mahjong because I’ve been wanting to learn. That would be fun for me to receive. My husband loves backgammon, so that’s a good gift for him, or anything tennis-related. For my son, I want him to be really into books, so I’m always getting good books that are fun to read with him and that we can kind of act out, which I think is great.MarshallsWhat would you gift yourself? People love to self-gift. So what would you treat yourself to?I love jewelry, and I love anything spa-related for myself to do at home.That's so real. Just anything self-care. Anything self-care. That’s so nice for me.We all have that “person who has everything” on our shopping list. How do you shop for them, and what are your go-to tips for finding the perfect gift for even the hardest-to-shop-for person?Well, that's why I loved partnering with Marshalls for this, because we tapped into specialists and experts who know what everybody likes and what would be the perfect gift for every type of person. So I think that's something we never really do, but it's actually a really smart way to go about it. If you have someone who's a personal trainer, then you can ask that person what to get a friend who's into training, right? So I think utilizing your resources is important.MarshallsYour holiday rom-coms Falling for Christmas and Our Little Secret have become iconic films for this season. Is there a holiday rom-com that’s like that for you?For sure, The Holiday. It’s not a rom-com, but Miracle on 34th Street is another favorite. Home Alone is big in our house, and Love Actually is huge for me. That’s one of my all-time favorites.At Cosmo, we’re all about love and relationships, so we always ask this question when we can: What’s the most thoughtful gift your husband has given you? And what’s the most thoughtful gift you’ve given your husband? This sounds so cheesy, but our hands in marriage. I think that the most thoughtful thing you can give to each other is the commitment of a lifetime.Oh my gosh, that's amazing. It's not cheesy. That's honestly an answer that I haven’t heard yet. That's so wonderful. Because anything after that are just learning experiences, you know?Megan Uy is an associate shopping editor at Cosmopolitan, where she searches for the best products in all things fashion, home, beauty, sex, gifts, and more, so you don’t have to.
