These cozy slippers are the perfect Christmas gift for your girlfriend.

They come in a few shades (including leopard print), but the gold metallic is Schwartz’s favorite. “I’ve since gifted them to my aunt, my BFF, you name it, since they’re not necessarily something pals would buy themselves, but they’re just so joyful. Tip: If you don’t quite know their shoe size, when in doubt, size up.”
