It’s beginning to look a lot like the weekend.

CHEW
SlantShack Jerky
What: Thin strips of grass-fed Vermont or USDA choice beef that seriously impressed our editors of Southern persuasion. It almost makes us want to take a long road trip. Almost.
Why: You can create your own trifecta of marinade, rub, and glaze or trust the chef’s recommendations. Be prepared to share or be called a jerk(y).
Where: Online at slantshackjerky.com.

BUCKLE
Tucker Blair Needlepoint Belts
What: From the superlative of prep (lobsters, mallards) to seasonal motifs (Frosty, Santa’s sleigh), each belt is hand-stitched then prewashed in the waters off the Cape (that second bit is false).
Why: Use code DAILYCANDY for 25 percent off thru Dec. 12 and pretend you’re buying them for the frat star in your life (we know they’re really for you).
Where: Online at store.tuckerblair.com.

SMEAR
Geisha by Bali James
What: Luxuriously formulated, irresistibly scented essential oils, rich lotions, caviar buffs, and Dead Sea salts ($18-$58) that will make skin silky, even in the dead of winter.
Why: They are gentle yet potent, plus the packaging is pretty enough to keep on display.
Where: Online at balijames.com.

GIVE
Holiday Gifts Inspired by Our Readers
What: We asked our Facebook friends what they want for Christmas (hand-painted shoes, a move to the Big Apple, the perfect night’s sleep), and we’ve been shopping ever since.
Why: Because we care.
Where: Online at dailycandy.com.

MAKE
Hot Cocoa
What: Tribeca Treats owner Rachel Thebault shows us how to fix the real hot, steaming, chocolaty deal from scratch.
Why: You could potentially gift the mix, but our top advice is to make some for yourself, spike it with Baileys or bourbon (or both?), and bring on the relatives.
Where: Online at dailycandy.com.

SCORE
Mick Margo E-shop Launches
What: A favorite NYC boutique takes the digital leap, landing you Alexander Wang handbags, Iro leather jackets, Cacharel chunky knits, Les Prairies de Paris not-so basics, and more.
Why: We’re still gung ho about this whole giving-yourself-gifts-for-the-holidays mentality.
