It’s hard not to want to be a Nader sister. The four-sister powerhouse behind Hulu's Love Thy Nader took reality TV by storm this year with an insanely successful first season (ahem, so successful it quickly got renewed for a second), and they’ve been everywhere ever since. Between their quippy banter, unapologetically honest takes, and unshakeable sisterly bond, they’ve instantly become 2025's It Girls. And lest not forget that they’re also all working models with genuinely great fashion instincts—so of course their taste is impeccable. Add that to their already long list of what can't they do!
With the holidays right around the corner, I caught up with Brooks Nader and Sarah Jane Nader—the oldest and youngest of the clan—at Amazon's Home for the Holidays in New York City to talk all things gift shopping and their Amazon favorites. After all, who better to take holiday shopping advice from than two creative, stylish sisters who’ve spent a lifetime shopping for a family of five? And because it wouldn’t be the Naders otherwise, the conversation didn’t stop there—we also got a few candid (and very juicy) updates on their love lives.
What's at the top of your guys' wish list this year?
Brooks Nader: A yacht. I'm kidding! Honestly, I lack all the good basics. A hot white tee, a hot white tank, yoga pants—those are always my Amazon go-tos. Because with all the travel I do, I'm in one city one day and another the next. And Amazon's everywhere. And I somehow always forget to pack basics, so I need to stock up on them.
Sarah Jane Nader: I need warm coats. Every year, I avoid getting them for winter, and then I find myself wearing something cute but paper-thin.

Do you two have any favorite go-to gifts from Amazon that you would love to give or receive?
Sarah Jane: Brooks is a really good host, and every time our parents come over, she'll have goodie bags on everyone's beds and have eye masks, and all of our favorite things. It's so nice to arrive at a house and have something for you ready.
Brooks: For me, in the light of hosting, it's things like candlesticks and votives. Am I Martha Stewart?! I love hosting. I got a new house, and Amazon makes it so easy for any occasion.
Brooks loves these hosting gifts
So, because Cosmo is all about love and relationships, tell me the most memorable gift you've ever received from a romantic partner.
Brooks: I love things that are personal to the relationship. I've had someone recently get me something that was engraved with something special on a piece of jewelry I wanted.
These sweet, customized jewelry gifts will arrive in time before Christmas!
What is the most sentimental gift you've ever given a romantic partner?
Brooks: Don't ask me because I got outed for giving my, at the time, boyfriend a sweater that I bought for my ex-husband. So I'm still working on my gift-giving skills.
And that's fine! Here's to growth.
Brooks: I'm learning! I'm self-aware.
Sarah Jane:I haven’t really given romantic partners sweet gifts. I have, however, given sweet gifts to my sisters and parents. For example, we’ve made photo albums for each other—like when the girls first moved to New York and Denver. For Brooks, I made an album of her early work, which had her first SI shoot and her magazine covers. I think albums really go a long way.
You guys are so cute. Okay, so what's the most random thing you've bought from Amazon?
Brooks: I've done some really dirty shit on Amazon.
Sarah Jane: We share an Amazon account with our entire family.
Brooks: We've had vibrators sent to our parents by mistake. Four girls and poor Breaux Nader [our dad/family patriarch]. He's opened boxes and been like "What the fuck is this?" And I'm like "No, it was meant to go to New York!"
These vibes are Cosmo-approved 👀
We're deep into cuffing season, ladies—tell me about the best date you've ever been on.
Sarah Jane: I went on a first date, and she remembered that I was vegan and picked a vegan spot. It was a nice vegan spot, and she wasn't vegan at all. It was really thoughtful.
Brooks: We really will drop our panties for anything. I think mine was semi-recently, and they said: "Okay, you're getting picked up at this time and we're getting on a plane, and I'm not telling you where we're going." It was about a 30-minute plane ride to a dinner on the water. It was gorgeous. I had only seen stuff like that happen in movies. I was so honored.
What's a piece of dating advice that's really stuck with both of you?
Brooks: We're the worst people to ask that question to. We don't listen when people give us advice; we do the opposite.
Sarah Jane: Yeah, I might start listening.
And that's when you learn, right? I mean, my next question was gonna be what's the best advice you've passed on to your sisters? But...
Brooks: We just say break up with them. That's it. We don't take advice from each other. And they definitely won't take advice from me because I'm divorced. Whenever I tell them about something I've done when I'm dating someone, they're like, "How'd that work out for you?" Then they say, "Okay, never mind. I'm good." So I'm always the bad person when it comes to these things.
Brooks, we gotta talk about how your dating life has become a part of pop culture. People are making memes and have dressed up as you for Halloween. How do you feel about hype?
Brooks: It’s fun, cute, and amazing. I’ve been introduced to a completely new audience. Before this, I had mostly a male audience because of Sports Illustrated and the modeling world. Now, with the show, I’m meeting so many women, and I absolutely live for it. I’ll be walking down the street, and girls will come up to me like, “Oh my God, this guy just cheated on me,” or share whatever they’re going through. It feels like women standing up for themselves, or maybe seeing something in me that they relate to. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I love it.
That’s honestly why I’m not focused on dating right now. I’m like, wait—I live for you guys. I don’t care about the boys. I really believe women should be able to do whatever they want, no matter what, and not be judged for it.
