What you bought last week
These are from our latest bestsellers list, which covers orders placed through our links from Oct 20 to Nov 2.
02
Garage UltraFleece Hoodie
Garageclothing · Price varies
Our second-most-ordered pick. A fleece hoodie for the teen who treats sweatshirts as a full wardrobe plan.
03
Gap Softest Flannel PJ Pants
Gap · Price varies
Shoppers bought more than twice as many pairs as they placed orders, so matching family pajamas may be happening.
04
Vessi Women's Weekend Classic
Vessi · $150
Waterproof knit sneakers, and one of the most-ordered shoes on our list.
05
Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck
Quince · $50
Cashmere at $50, which goes a long way toward explaining why it's on this list again.
06
Primary Kids Lightweight Puffer Jacket
Primary · $39.50
The kids' pick of the group. A lightweight puffer that does the job for school drop-off.
07
A Court of Splintered Harmony
Barnes & Noble · $32
The top-selling book through our links on the latest list, from Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

From MATE's Organic Stretch line, and one more thing readers treated themselves to.
Trending on Etsy
Two favorites from our weekly Etsy list.
09
Hand-carved wooden duck figurine
Etsy · From $44.42

10

Soft felt balls instead of rocks, and you can add a name to the wood.
What you read last week
Garage's fall favorites topped our new Holiday Gift Cheat Sheet as last week's most-read story. A 2015 roundup of pineapple clothes for kids also had a very good week for reasons we can't fully explain, and readers kept finding our DIY Father's Day gift baskets and spring fashion guides too.

What you told us last week
Our Thanksgiving poll was our busiest of the week, and hosting family or friends was the most common answer. We also asked about gift lists, Black Friday plans and what the kids are asking for, but those polls didn't get enough votes yet to call a winner. In the Parent Pulse holiday spending survey, just over half of parents said they'll spend about the same as last year, and just over half hadn't started shopping. Add your answer and see how you compare.
