If there’s anything I’ve learned throughout the years as a shopping expert, it’s that it’s never too early to start your holiday shopping. With brands unveiling new collections and bargains you do not want to miss out on during this time of year, I’m always looking to secure the best deals around.

This year, however, I’m aiming to do all of my Christmas shopping under a single retailer to avoid copious scrolling and ensure I can secure the bulk of my presents in one go. As someone who has developed a strong affinity for online shopping, the more I can do online, the better.

During my usual scrolling session, I stumbled upon Gap’s website and, after scouring it, managed to create a twelve-piece wish list that I’m secretly hoping my loved ones manage to get their hands on. Covering women’s, men’s and kids, Gap’s new-in section holds a robust assortment of holiday gifts that have a strong design aesthetic and quality whilst retaining a high-street price range.

The American retailer has been at the forefront of American style since its inception in 1969. Championing originality through high-quality pieces and true wardrobe essentials, Gap has had an impeccable year. Collaborating with Dôen earlier this year and introducing an exclusive range in partnership with Paddington this autumn/winter. It is no wonder why Gap is delivering a stellar new in-section this season.

This season, the brand is introducing its latest capsule range, CashSoft fabric, with a focus on seamless design. Ranging across all of its usual ready-to-wear categories, the CashSoft collection is a bestseller due to its buttery-soft knitwear and focus on hero pieces.

The luxurious fabric is crafted in a midweight plush yarn and refined with a unique technique that offers everyday, easy luxury. Like cashmere, CashSoft requires no dry-cleaning, making it ideal for those looking to invest in key capsule wardrobe pieces or, like me, those looking for the perfect holiday gifts for all loved ones.

The holiday collection includes elevated basics like crew-neck jumpers, knitted cardigans, and baggy jeans, which have instantly become a signature range for Gap and an easy go-to for all of your holiday gifting needs. With pieces coming in different colourways to appeal to all tastes and styling preferences, the range is bound to have something for everyone.

Below, I have rounded up my top womenswear picks across the CashSoft collection and their latest new-in pieces worth the investment. Trust me, these aren’t the sort of buys you want to scroll past.
