She’s our go-to guide for blending the trendy with the timeless, defining and sharpening our personal style, and of course, all things shopping. (And we’re not just talking clothes: Andrews also has a knack for finding genius kitchen appliances and standout accessories.) For all of these reasons and more, she’s one of the voices we trust when finding gifts for everyone from Macy’s. If you want to bring your giftees joy and style, Andrews’s picks are the ones to study — and Macy’s is the place to find them.

For The Stylish Aunt: A Designer Bag That Completes Any Look

This Coach shoulder bag is the kind of piece you see and can’t stop thinking about. “My aunt would never splurge on this bag for herself, but she totally deserves it!” Andrews says. “This designer handbag will be her go-to piece, pairing well with everything from suits for work to dresses for church.”

For Herself: A Pump For Every Party, From Thanksgiving to New Year’s

“One way I love to treat myself is with a fancy pair of shoes,” Andrews says of these slingback stilettos with an oversized beaded bow that you certainly won’t find on any other shoe at the party. “The embellishment feels luxe and fashion-forward,” Andrews says, “and this pair was created by one of my favorite Black designers, Aminah Abdul Jillil.” Pair them with a long-sleeved dress to bring the holiday drama, or go more minimal with a classic LBD and let the shoes be the star of the show.

For The Lover Of Glam: Vacation-Ready Shades

These Miu Miu sunglasses have a dazzling retro vibe. Can’t you see them paired with a headscarf, a convertible, and the open road? “My best friend loves a glamorous pair of shades, and Miu Miu is one of her favorite designers,” Andrew says. The combination is practically kismet. “This would be the perfect gift for her to grab before our next vacation,” she says. Now to find Andrews a complementary pair...

For The Statement-Maker: A Coat That Wows While It Warms

For her sister who’s “always cold,” Andrews opts for this oversized Calvin Klein peacoat in a yellow plaid that reminds us of the wardrobe of a certain iconic ’90s movie character. “She’d love a statement coat that’s as warm as it is eye-catching,” Andrews says of her sis. And the yellow hue pulls double duty: It will “brighten up her winter wardrobe and make her stand out everywhere she goes.”

For The Foodie Who’s Always Hungry: A Speedy Appliance That Does It All

An Air Fryer is the multitasking appliance every kitchen needs, especially when you want good food fast. “My dad is all about delicious, quick dishes he can make in the air fryer,” Andrews says. “This easy-to-use appliance will be in regular rotation for everything on the menu.” And she really means “everything:” The Vortex Plus can fry, roast, broil, bake, reheat, and dehydrate.

“Everyone in my family loves baking,” Andrews says. “My mom is known for her pies, both apple and sweet potato.” The ideal new tool for Mom’s pastry arsenal? This delightful KitchenAid stand mixer, which can help with everything from mixing to beating to whipping. The pretty pink color fits perfectly into Andrews’s mom’s pastel kitchen. But if your intended baker’s kitchen doesn’t already share a similar palette, this mixer will add a gorgeous splash of color — whether you go with pink or classic red.
