Touchscreen gloves can be a handy addition to any winter arsenal. Although no pair is likely to keep your fingers quite as warm as regular gloves would, a good pair can allow you to dash off a quick “on my way” without your hands freezing.

We’ve tested 80 pairs, and found that our top pick was the warmest and performed the most accurately in typing tests. Our other favorites include a fleece-lined pair, lightweight gloves for better dexterity, and—if you prefer a different look and feel—two classic and stylish leather options. Plus, we think all would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone in your life who is typo-prone.

These chips—one of our favorite gifts for folks who love food—wowed our entire kitchen team. Made by a family-owned business in Spain, the golden crisps have a deep potato flavor, the right amount of salt, and a crispy, light texture that still holds up to dips. Senior editor Marguerite Preston calls them “the perfect caviar chip.”
