’Tis the season to celebrate the simple pleasures in life—a time to find joy in each passing day. From cozy nights at home to the excitement of gifting to ourselves and loved ones, it’s often the little moments that sparkle brightest during the holidays.

Whether you’re prepping for your favourite traditions or creating new ones, here’s something we can all agree on: it’s all about finding joy in the everyday. This winter, we’re bundling up and staying extra comfy with warm, weatherproof essentials from UNIQLO (without compromising on style).

From affordable HEATTECH layers to chic cashmere accessories, here are our top picks to add to your holiday gift list, whether you’re treating others or indulging in a little self-care this season.

Fashion meets function with this versatile, ultra-soft turtleneck. The unique Japanese fabric is designed for unbeatable warmth with Heat Retention and Heat Absorption technology. Paired with your favourite jeans, joggers or trousers, this soft acrylic-rayon-blend fleece is the perfect top layer and sure to become your new go-to.

If fleece isn’t your vibe, this one’s for you. With a casual fit and fluffy waffle fabric, this crew-neck shirt is as versatile as it is chic. Think relaxed and refined. The round hem takes this essential layering piece up a notch, making it great for errands, outdoor activities and at-home lounging.

For snowy strolls, holiday dinners and everything in between, the Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater is a timeless pick. Made from 100 per cent cashmere, it uses 3D knit technology for a seamless design, offering a more flattering fit that conforms to your body as well as unmatched softness, warmth and a classic look. Plus, it can be hand-washed at home with cold water! It’s not just a garment; it’s a luxe addition to your winter wardrobe. So go ahead, treat yourself and the loved ones on your list.

Help your friends welcome the winter chill with open arms in packable outerwear that promises to keep them both snug and stylish. With incredible lightness and warmth, this short jacket is made with ultra-fine yarns, ensuring its wearer stays bundled without the bulk. The boxy cut, covered fastener and water-repellent finish keep cold air at bay, while the foldable design makes it a convenient winter staple. Premium down has never looked or felt so good.

Looking for a staple accessory that’s as practical as it is trendy? Enter the Round Mini Shoulder Bag—a viral sensation for a reason. With a water-repellent finish and convenient cross-body strap, this bag is lightweight and timeless. Carry your daily essentials (and so much more) on the go.

Whether they’re hitting the slopes or cozying up indoors, keep your loved ones’ feet warm and toasty this winter. No matter where the day takes them, the heat absorption and anti-odour features will provide extra comfort. With fun, festive patterns and colours, these make for a great stocking stuffer (or a small gift from you to you).

Cashmere Accessories

There’s nothing quite like wrapping yourself up in an elegant 100 per cent cashmere scarf on a brisk winter day. Offered in a variety of rich colours, this one is silky smooth to the touch and an easy way to elevate any outfit.

It’s no secret that a scarf isn’t nearly as chic without a matching ensemble. Embrace the outings of the season with this equally soft matching hat—a must-have accessory to keep your head and ears extra toasty.
